Badasserey is what makes weapons badass. That is why it goes Axe family > Polearm family > Cossbows > Catapults > Morning stars > War hammers > Swords > Longbows > Daggers > Miscleaneous siege engines > Short bows > Slings > Improvised weapons (Scythe goes here) > Unarmed.
Edit: So according to wikipedia warsythe is basically another name for a glaive. sallright, glaives are awesome. But they aint scythes.

I am not talking about how effective they are in all situations I am just talkin bout how badass they are.
The thing a scythe by definition is a tool for reaping grain. Therefore warscythes are not scythes and scythes can not be effective weapons!
HA VICTORY BY TECHNICALITY!

Fair enough. You do realise that a sythe is a polearm though right? And therefore it's pretty high up on your list of Badassery.
I could "manage to pick up" a rocket launcher if one was around. is it less badass than a sling?Souplex post=18.70517.694737 said:
Edit: Also axes were not originaly intended to be a weapon either. (remember wood? we used axes to chop that stuff, it was pretty useful for neolithic man, since you can't cut down trees with a spear)
Overturned on another technicality. 'Reaping' is much more badass than 'Chopping'.Souplex post=18.70517.694704 said:

badassery
this thread just keeps getting better and better
Bottom line - a scythe can and will kill you.
if you bring a scythe to a gun fight, you deserve to die
Scythes generally have really sharp points, and a decent amount of weight to it. The blades may be a little flimsy when compared to that of a sword or axe, but it's enough to stick into you and not come out until you're dead, even if it breaks with one blow, it was one blow too many for your pathetic human body.
bottom bottom line - if someone thinks it looks cool (and it does), then let them live with their delusions of awesomeness. It does no harm to you to have someone make believe that a scythe is the ultimate human killing device right under anthrax and a crayola pencil (thanks Joker)

Well technically they have as much in common as war axes (what the opening poster claims is the most badass) does to an axe used to chop wood. So Unless we're comparing the farming versions of all these weapons I think you'll find swords will end up at the top of the list, since they are one of the few weapons developed specifically for war
Yeah... I wouldn't want to come into contact with someone weilding any kind of weapon (I get anxious around people with BB guns)
The badassery is really down to the dude (or Dude-ette) that weilds it
