A quarterstaff (plural quarterstaves), also short staff or simply staff is a traditional European pole weapon and a technique of stick fighting, especially as in use in England during the Early Modern period.

The term is generally accepted to refer to a shaft of hardwood from 6 to 9 feet (1.8 to 2.7 m) long, sometimes with a metal tip, ferrule, or spike at one or both ends. The term "short staff" compares this to the "long staff" based on the pike with a length in excess of 11 to 12 feet (3.4 to 3.7 m).

The name "quarterstaff" is first attested in the mid-16th century. The "quarter" probably refers to the means of production, the staff being made from hardwood of a tree split or sawed into quarters (as opposed to a staff of lower quality made from a tree branch).

If you were staff, how would you make my life easier, being a higher staff position. Let's say I am ONE and ONE QUARTER staff. What would you do to decrease the size mf my staff?

I would ban you... since Zionia's banned Sawine before, I should be able to do it as well.

I'm only a quarter staff because I'm a long stick and I haven't applied for mod.

you list yourself as living in the u.k., what are your views on Dr. Who (older seasons/newer/overall in general)?

I am living in the UK at the moment.

I've never watched Doctor Who, so I can't give you a proper answer. All I've heard from the show is something about pears.

Yeah this is clearly for staff only....
