Poll: Pitchfork or Torch, the endless argument

[zombiejoe]

Ok, so your apart of a giant mob of angry villagers. You are about to storm the castle of an insane scientist. Now everyone is grabbing their weapons, and most people are grabbing either a pitchfork or a torch. Now as you go up to the weapon table, you learn that the only choices are a pitchfork or a torch. Now which do you pick?

 

[soilent]

I use the Table.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

As an answer, Torch, BURN THE CASTLE TO THE GROUND!!!!
In reality, I would be the mad scientist.

 

[Omikron009]

Pitchfork, of course.

 

[Ryuo]

I'll go with a Torch.

Who doesn't like fire?

 

[madcap2112]

Pitchfork; the torch can be extinguished and the pitchfork is more useful in potential combat.

 

[OakTaooper]

The pitchfork, duh. Because what if you get splashed with water? Your torch goes out. And guess what? Your pitchfork won't go out if splashed with water.

 

[Lukeje]

Can I have a flaming pitchfork?

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Can I wrap some oil-soaked rags around the end of my pitchfork and light it on fire. It's the torchfork! For all your angry mob needs! (Now I can't help but think of a commerical with Billy Mays selling this to us)

I guess I have to go with the pitchfork. A torch is nice, but its isn't the best weapon out there. I mean if we are storming the castle of some crazy scientist then I expect that there might be a few freakish abominations running around.

Edit: Of course as I'm writing this three people ninja me on the pitchfork/torch combination. Grumble, grumble, grumble...

Are you kidding me? Is everyone a here really capable of such an error?

BOTH

I tie torches to my pitchfork.

I'm the best fucking angry mob member ever.

I believe these are excellent choices. Either dual wielding a torch/pitchfork combo, tying torches to the pitchfork, or setting the pitchfork ablaze.

 

[The Rockerfly]

A flaming pitchfork

Can I get an /thread with that?

EDIT: fuck you slow internet, been ninja'd

 

[2fish]

Since I have been secretly working with the mad scientist I have learned the wonders of the molotov cocktail, thus I will take the torch. I can just pick up a pitchfork from a dead villager.

Also all monsters fear fire right?

 

[drbarno]

pitchfork, but why would I be siding with the mob? I would prefer to work with the insane scientist, so I would keep them back somehow.

The pitchfork, duh. Because what if you get splashed with water? Your torch goes out. And guess what? Your pitchfork won't go out if splashed with water.

The torch still makes a smashing club when not aflame

But it's going to... rust...

OT: k98 + bayonet The pitchfork, it at least replaces the bayonet.
