Title: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle. Post by: Killian on August 16, 2005, 08:02:36 pm Do you consider jousting to be a pansy sport for the nobles where nobody gets hurt? Where thick platemail shields your body from harm?? A sport where only the privileged ones can take part?!
If so, you’re WRONG! In Cove jousting is exciting, lethal, full of gore and best of all it is available to even the most common man! Here in the Barony the brave souls willing to take part will only wear minimal armor for protection The winner shall receive a monetary prize as well as the prestige of being the Champion of the Jousting Masters! (http://killian.puslapiai.lt/knights-jousting.jpg) Rules: People using any weapon skill can take part! We will be using UBWS (use best weapon skill) lances. Contestants will be required to pay fifty gold coins for the rent of a horse. Renting armor is optional and those wishing to will have to pay twenty gold coins. The number of armor pieces supplied is highly limited. Bringing your own set of items or your own horse is prohibited, you can only use the items issued directly at the tournament. To win a jousting round you must dismount your opponent using the dismount ability. To move on in the tournament you must win two rounds against you opponent. There shall be a hired announcer for the tournament. There shall be an official bookmaker to take your bets. The payout for a sucessful guess will be double the betted amount. Jousting will take place in a specialy built arena inside Cove. Additional notes: You can color the given set of armor as you see fit. Make a statement of style! Further improve your prestige among your collegues by bringing your own presenter who shall shout your glory to the heavens before every round! Those wishing to sign up can leave their names here or contact me via ICQ: 290-595-951 Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle.

Blah...I can't ride a horse...It'll be more likely I fall off before my opponent strikes *sighs* Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle. Post by: Drachir on August 17, 2005, 11:49:47 am *sribbles his name*

Erm, this may come as a shock to many of you, but im afraid you cannot Dismount while mounted. I am not sure how the tournament will continue if we cannot get around this major floor. *sighs as he turns away, upset for he will not have a chance in winning the tournament* Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle.

Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle. Post by: Drachir on August 17, 2005, 06:57:51 pm Ahh! Woohoo! So what's the trick eh? eh? Gon, spill the beans!
*smiles proudly as he believe that he still may have a chance...* Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle. Post by: Killian on August 17, 2005, 07:09:45 pm Good news, participants! Seems we will not be forced to use donated farming tools as I have contacted the Adarastos family in Magincia and managed to secure their 'sponsorship'. This family have long been my friends and have agreed to provide lances for use in this tournament at their own expenses!
I look foward to seeing you all in the Tournament. [OOC: We will be using UBWS (use best weapon skill) lances. Appropriate permissions have been received ;) Archers are free to take part now.] Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle.

"Like hell... The horse makes or breaks the mounted warrior, and I'm na trustin' my ars with any other but my own." *stomps off looking for some one to complain too* Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle. Post by: Veldrin on August 18, 2005, 01:11:31 am A man in dark armor regards approaches the poster with a quizzical smirk. The smirk quickly grows into a very amused smile as he reaches to stroke his goatee. A joust, hm? This might prove quite interesting. Narrow eyes move to study the names of those who had signed up. Dropping his arms, he began to search his person for a bit of something to write with. There was a possible obstacle in his way, here.
*rather sloppily written...* Does one have to be from Cove to attend this tournament? I don't reside here, but I'm definitely interested in joining this little event. *unsigned* Title: Re: Jousting Masters - A tournament to test one’s mettle.
