We decided it looked exactly like Sayian armor, so I memeified it up with the traditional "It's over 9000!!!" taped to the armor, plus a hilarious picture of a girl powering up.
The shield was six layers of weapons-grade cardboard with a jury rigged handle. Because I didn't have time to make the grip very well, it fell apart after round 1. Still served its purpose.
The two weapons I made were good until they snapped in half. I have ideas for next year to make them much much stronger and heavier. I may end up just making a Buster Sword (both of the ones that were in the fight last night were win).
The armor held up until the end of the second round. Blue Team had a grappler who threw me on my ass three times. The last time knocked the shoulder plates off and made me just ditch the armor and go naked. I took some hits in the third round but I didn't feel too terribly much because of the four layers I'm wearing.
This is what my dorm looks like right now.
To finish out Neanderthal November, we're holding our fourth anual "Idiot," which consists of us making cardboard weapons and armor, then beating the piss out of each other at midnight. Awesomesauce.
