Poll: Favourite Melee weapon

Swords probably edge out axes for me, but only just. They allow a level of elegance that just can't be given with an axe.
Then again, if you're already inelegant thanks to massive amounts of armor... might as well go axe. ^^

Usually swords or daggers for me, since I like faster weapons. That and swords are just cool. However, if you were talking Runescape then it would have to be a halberd.
I'd say my favorite weapon would be a magical pink little unicorn that shoots deadly rainbow lasers out of it's arse........but where the hell are we ever gonna find that huh?
So I'll give a shout out to the trusty spear......because nothing says "You're gonna Die" better than a knife tied to the end of a stick.
However my favorite weapons are the Rapiers so I guess untill someone designs a unicorn rainbow arse rapier tied to the shaft of a spear for me, I'll vote for the swords.

That would be a mace, then. For ultimately a mace is nothing more than a well-made metal club. A crowbar is not much different.Joccaren said:
OT:
I'm voting mace (specifically the modern 3lb. crescent wrench variety), because it's fun to go clubbing.
Glaive really, i guess its kinda close to halberd or spear, but not quite. I also I like maces if I can dual wield em. Just something about that blunt, skull-crushing impact that makes me tingle inside.
Why like this one right here?Daverson said:Spetsnaz shovel.
Looks innocent enough, doesn't it? Pretty much a modern-day battle-axe though. I've heard you can split a man's head clean in half with one of these though. Plus, it can be thrown! Plus, it's a shovel! Plus, you can fry eggs on it... I don't like eggs, but I imagine if I did, that'd be advantageous.
I agree it is pretty impressive, not the best though.
Nothing beats a good knife or a lightweight sword, alot of control and alot of speed. Better if duel wielded
Anything that could also be used as a tool. Axes, hammers, knives, that sort of thing. If it's only good for one thing - harming dudes - it seems somehow to be a bit of a waste. Spears deserve an honorable mention though, as they were such a huge gamechanger historically.
That's easy: a good old-fashioned hunting knife. Because then you can do this:
It's just an efficient weapon, overall.
Failing that, I gotta go with the bo staff.
