Eh, not a bad idea. Bow is safe, so I can do something more interest with my vote.

I'm sure she's a lovely lady when you get to know her?
No, this is Lubu time !
Time in Lubu, Guangdong, China now - Time.is
You tought a glaive was the perfect thing to get? You tought it was the summit of human perfection to handle a polearm?
But did you tought about dual wielding polearms? After all twice as much perfection can only be better.
[X] Bow
[X] Dual wielded heavy Polearms
Edit: I am actually totally serious. If need be, I would be willing to change my vote for Heavy polearm. But this is a xianxa, so the limitations of dual wielding giant weapons are small compared to the benefit they have. Like for exemple throwing one of our polearm in the face of the ennemy that then gloat about us being defenless and then we kill him/her via our second weapon.
You see into the truth brother, your Dao is firm and unwavering.
But lest we all forget, allow me to remind us of the REEAAAAAAAAAAAL weapon

Bow 58
Unarmed 26
Heavy Polearm 11 + Heavy Polearms 7 = 18 (gone down I think? Have some people changed their votes?)
Chinese Halberd/Ji 10 (one of these needs to consolidate with the other. They're similar, but the Ji is a light weapon)
Jian 9 + Sword/Jian 9 +Sword 7 = 25
I would like sword to win, but I would like polearms to win more then unarmed. If you won't switch over this way, maybe you can consolidate?

And she still manages to trump most of the other "noble" bratsTo quote @drake_azathoth out of context, at the moment when it comes to grace, dignity and poise Ling Qi is pretty much:
Yes so? I mean the massive implications that her family are literal assassins kinda explains that.
Four great weapons, the Spear is called the King of all weapons and both Liling and Zihao use one. You don't have to use one of the four but they are simply considered the best weapons as well as the most respectable due to their age and storied history of legendary heroes and famous users who wielded them.
Also Sword beats Polearm because once you get inside that guard you can just slide the blade along the shaft to prevent them trying to slash or stab inwardly at you.
But don't you want to chuckle over Han Jian teaching us how to handle his Jian
It''s also another way we could use to connect with him if we learn how to sword with him.
Her mother is the "totally-not-a-lesbian" White Cultivator, her grandmother was just the first duchess.

Didn't @yrsillar suggest Heavy Polearm for the category containing the glaive and halberd and Light Polearm for spears?
I hope Satsuki expy doesn't imply a Ragyo expy...

Not sure. The Saber and the Sword are closer to each other then the Ji is to a heavy polearm. You might combine Ji with spear? They're both lighter pole weapons.
Edit:
Only one person is voting for the spear (Qiang), so that doesn't help a lot.

Alrighty, bow is safe, so I'll just vote for other cool things!
[X] Chain whip
[X] Unarmed
I really wanna be able to use the whip as grapple/extra mobility and just Indiana Jones around, but I also wanna be able to use a blade-glove and I'm pretty sure that falls under unarmed.

Here's a Ji for those unfamiliar and just going off of 'halberd,' which is inaccurate.
While it's always hard to get perspective without a person holding it, you can figure out size by looking at the shaft, and then realizing the spearhead isn't that big. It's a a really short spear and light axe combined into one weapon, and is very much on the lighter end of weapons. It's not a terrible fit for us, but it's really really far for a heavy chinese halberd.
Edit: Let me clarify. I would very much prefer this over a heavy halberd, which is a brutes weapon.

I doubt we're going to get one that sounds too niche to be able to find without looking hard, we're more likely to get a cestus.
Remember we have dots in Unarmed already, this is just us voting to have Ling Qi try out two more weapons during group training. Using it on something we're already trained it just seems to miss the point of this opportunity IMO.
I quoted two people, so unless i'm remembering wrong and you've decided to start speaking in the third person. Your post had nothing to do with Lu Bu. The other person was asking why people were voting for the Jian. Lu Bu was not involved except as maybe a wrong guess that person made.
Given that your being really touchy today I won't double back to requite your post because surprise another post has appeared that works just as well after your post.
But don't you want to chuckle over Han Jian teaching us how to handle his Jian

Right there Lu Bu was not involved. The name thing I reference which was in your post was people liking the doubled name of friend and weapon and it showed up like every third vote.
Stop acting like I'm persecuting you by grabbing your post as an example of in thread reasoning. It was not an attack.
The ji is an evolution of the ge, or dagger-axe. I imagine what you're thinking of as a "heavy halberd" is shown on the right here, which is another evolution of the same form. That's not really a heavy weapon, at least in comparison to the ji itself. Really, they shouldn't be called halberds since they're much smaller than the later European halberd.

Wow, that's... something.
@yrsillar, are you sure you want to do it like that? The Ji is much more spear, and in the lighter side of the spectrum rather then heavy like the larger halberds and glaives. It even uses some spear techniques from what I understand. Like, if you're dividing swords from sabers, that's a weird set of things to bundle together.

No, I'm thinking things like the Guan Gong Dao

Tonfa, if that helps?
What is the point of the unarmed vote? We train that with Suyin all the time, and as a fighting style, it's already been picked up by Ji Rong. Aren't we trying out new weapons to kickstart some masteries?
[X] Light polearm
[X] Heavy polearm
Of course, on the other hand, spear was picked up by Kang Zihao already too. But apparently, the spear is associated with the north (like turtles!) and its movement associated with floating dragons.

... no?
I said that sword skill magically giving calligraphy skill exists solely to give powertrip xianxia protags a way to be against the grain of society while still being excellent within society. I said nothing (0) about how getting a sword would be making us similar to one. From what I can recall.
