um ya right. when one of their heads gets exploded like a bloodsausage they will be running away like cockroaches.The kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed.
saying that, 30 of the little bastards could still be tricky to handle. while ure takin care of one another would sneak right up on ya....SplishSplash wrote:Stupid thread. 5-year-olds are completely helpless, there's no way they could hurt me.
The specifics:
- You are in an enclosed area, roughly the size of a basketball court. There are no foreign objects.
- You are not allowed to touch a wall.
- When you are knocked unconscious, you lose. When they are all knocked unconscious, they lose. Once a kid is knocked unconscious, that kid is "out."
- I (or someone else intent on seeing to it you fail) get to choose the kids from a pool that is twice the size of your magic number. The pool will be 50/50 in terms of gender and will have no discernable abnormalities in terms of demographics, other than they are all healthy Americans.
- The kids receive one day of training from hand-to-hand combat experts who will train them specifically to team up to take down one adult. You will receive one hour of "counter-tactics" training.
- There is no protective padding for any combatant other than the standard-issue cup.
* The kids are motivated enough to not get scared, regardless of the bloodshed. Even the very last one will give it his/her best to take you down.
I set my magic number at 30, but upon reflection, I think I could take on a few more. How many could you take on?
Yeah I read em beforehand... The problem is that 5 year olds just aren't coordinated enough to really do anything properly. Even if they had me completely surrounded there wouldn't be more than about 8 or 9 tops tugging on you, hit's would be pretty pointless. I've been punched by a 5 year before too and it kinda tickles. Even at full strength a 5 year old can't hurt me unless the kid punched me directly in the nuts. Even then, if I was fighting for my life, I'd still boot the kid across the room without much problem.[xeno]Julios wrote:it might seem that way when you run the thought experiment, but I can assure you that in the real situation, you'd be fighting for your life.

that simply ain't true - if you train kids at an early age, they can become incredibly coordinated by 5 years old. Think of all those russian gymnasts, or that 3 year old drummer, etc...Kracus wrote: Yeah I read em beforehand...

Sorry, kids aren't that smart, even if they did what would stop me from jumping over them and landing on them instantly crushing two of them, then taking the closest one and swinging him about wildly smacking other kids around? I mean seriously, it's a joke, I've played with many kids before and there's just no way. Even with a day of training (like that'd do anything you can't keep a 5 year olds attention to anything more than a couple minutes anyway!) they'd still be fucked, half of em would be tripping over the other half if they tried to rush anything. Ever see a 5 year old run after something with wild abandon before? They never get far...bitWISE wrote:Ok Kracus...
Lets say you have 30 kids that weigh about 50 lbs each. That is 1500 lbs. All they have to do is come at you all at once like a swarm and get you down. Then you get that 1500 lb pile sitting on your chest and you either die or pass out.
