      Wasn't that Robin Hood Men In Tights where they went around picking the right sized noose?

      And the 1/2in stuff I have can hold about a ton with no problems. My thinner high quality stuff will hold more then his lousy thicker stuff. Plus the executioner doesn't get a bad rope burn.

      And, mine is red and black, thats just plain cool.

          How do you know what PyRo's rope is like. I think PyRo is right, and we should all worship him.


          ALL HAIL PYRO!!!

            the awesomeness wouldnt happen to pyro under a second name, would it


            I must admit, if I were to be hanged, with the choice of rope, I would look for something in Scarlet. Maybe a nice Burgandy...

                        But barbwire will just get cought up in itself, and it won't do any killing.

                            Im with Pyro.

                            1/2 inch should do the job just fine. That stuff is definately strong enough to hold up a person too.

                                i prefer the use of a 12 gauge shotgun...but if the situations all wrong id probably just use my shoelaces...theyre pretty strong you know, and easily concealable.
