Me and the boys are debating this and it's getting heated. If we ever run trials on this, say with foam weapons, this markets resolves to the win rate of spears.

@ProjectVictory I will be trying my best to make the trials happen. If recorded the footage will not be released publicly. But don't worry, you can trust the procedure to be fair, the process will be extremely adversarial.
@MichaelWheatley Will the spear be substantially longer than the sword, and will a nick on the shin by either weapon count as a point?
@Panfilo definitely longer. Rules not created yet, but I will be lobbying hard for nicks not to count.
@NoaNabeshima definitely.
Let me know if you can think of a better way to decide this so I can send the results to Team Spear.
