Someone please show me I'm not going mad...

I don't know this spring into my head after about a year of being buried in the deepest, darkest region of my mind, but there was something unusual I saw once on PSO.

During an online game (way back in the days when you could join a game without knowing the people in them) I encountered a FOnewm. Having been new to the game, I supposed I never really noticed it, but whenever he stood still, this FOnewm would rest his hand on his hip, and now, as an experienced PSO Hunter, I can safely say that FOnewms don't usually do that.

Has anyone else seen this happen? Does anyone know how to make this happen? And can it occur with other characters? I had to post this to make sure the whole thing didn't just happen inside my brain.

They do that when they walk with a staff =>_>=;

[Darrin]

Yeah, I only see them do that when running with a staff

[Pogle]

That was the strange thing though, they had a Saber. I've narrowed it down to a GameShark or some other device, but it was within the first few weeks of PSO so I don't think it could be that.
EDIT: I just remembered, the FOnewm only rest his hand on hip when standing still. I did ask the player what that was about, but he merely replied "He's a puff.", which wasn't very helpful.

I don't really know then. I dont really use FOnewmns

That has to be THE funniest walk I've ever seen in any rpg to date(pretty boy FOnewman). Iam pretty sure it's a staff only walk, but then again most people very rarely walk but always run. So I have no idea if it's a saber animation walk, or maybe the fonewmen saber animation walk also has a hand to hip walk, but done in a different manner.

It's in the video for the clan PIMP. I downloaded it along time ago, it's funny.

FOnewm waddle (http://members.lycos.co.uk/rbf2000/waddle.mpg) 2.3mb

FOnewms only do the waddle with the stick. Nothing special w/ wands or sabers.

Maybe they do that when they have a saber too.

[TeamPhalanx]

Perhaps (since it's been a long time since the encounter) your memory's just playing tricks on you.

[RavenTW]

It doesn't work with sabers. FOnewms act like HUmars or RAmars or HUcasts in handeling sabers.

Like Phalanx said, could be your imagination.

[SS_Death]

Ah but a getting a broom for a HUmar...

That makes them stand there like a fool with a hand on their hip, and the techniques...

...Can you say bad ballet?...

[Daikarin]

Bottom line, you're not getting mad.

We all are. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Pogle]

Ah, that would make sense.
Speaking of weapons, has anyone else been slightly miffed by spending days (even weeks) trying to get a rare weapon (Soul Eater, Toy Hammer to name but a few) only to discover the weapon is utterly, utterly pap?
