''fun fact, if you are chewing someone and want to stop to speak or such (you cannot do so while chewing) by emoting *spits or using the spit emote in the emotes tab, you can stop biting without having to move away to spit it out.''

	'''Kicking''', along with stomping is a great way to disable people quickly and efficiently if you use your surrounding to your advantage. If someone is against a wall, or any solid object, you are able to kick them into it to get a guaranteed stun (even diagonally!), however there are also unique interactions with kicking. Stomping can occur when you are standing over someone and try to kick them, resulting in a stomp rather than a kick, and if you are wearing any hard boots or shoes can result in breaking or fracturing peoples bones. Groin (lower chest) kicking/stomping someone not wearing trousers or armor covering the groin can result in a quick and easy nutcrack, eggcrack or pelvis crack which completely disables both of someone's legs, resulting in a massive advantage for yourself.
