Note also that we will be play testing new stabbing rules at this event and looking for feedback from everybody. Armor will be damaged by stabs, stabs will count towards limb totals for death, etc. So if you have a strong opinion one way or the other on this matter, please come to our event and give it a try before we all have to vote on it.

[Tulio]

Thanks for the reminder mine King. Ill put this up here and on the others boards Ive posted too.

[Xavier]

Really excited for this event . I can't wait to see you all there!

First off, does this include arrows? (If so, I will have a whole different post about how this is a bad idea)

Second, will this change anything against shields? (someone brought up double could, and if so, this would make having reds pointless)

Also, I believe this is extremely over powering. You are giving a spearman the ability from far away to cause someone's leg to count towards one limb to kill them. (rather they have armor on or not if it is two handed)

My question for you instead is why change the rule? What is the problem that changing the rule will solve? I think changing the rule, personally, will give more power to spears which they do not need. Also, I have seen people use daggers as double green. I grew up watching this. How does that affect them? (all it needs be is two handed...)

[Peregrine]

odd, coming from a realm that uses red flails and rocks. I don't really care for the idea either, but they are only play testing with a new rules.

[Slagar]

I'll be there. May try to drag a bunch of the local group with, too.

[Salamander]

We are now looking for any volunteers for Rhun Closer! We will be needing help with weapons check and heralding! Please either respond here or feel free to PM me!

Krikit, someone will be along to answer you query shortly, but I believe the main idea was to finally fix all the * recently about the green rules.

Im on my way out the door right now so I will answer the questions more specifically when I get home, but I wanted to avoid turning this into a rule debate.

The rule will count towards arrows and not break shields. If you have an issue with the rules we are TESTING please make your thoughts known in the Rules Discussion And Development board, and make it out to our event so that you can talk with experience why the changes suck.

[Sir Guts]

Here's my thinking ad more of a syggestion as well. How aout play testing this for only half the fightng. It will allow us to have a full on side by side comparison with the same people and weapons as to how it changes the field as well as allow those of us not in favor of the rule change to enjoy the fighting we love

[fishstix]

I'll do what i can to get a some of the fighters from my neck of the woods to show.

I support this statement (not that it matters lolol).

[Big King Jimmy]

This was supposed to be a pm. Edited. ****.

[Salamander]

That's fine.
No one has to volunteer.

[Dane]

Your face volunteers.

You've got all the Rogues that show, which at the least should be myself, Hurin, Frosty, pquick, and Slagar, but I'm expecting just about all of us. Just haven't talked to everyone yet.

[Sir Guts]

like she said no volunteers.... just slave labor with a bad fashion sense

[Slagar]

From the guy in the skirt, with dyed skin? Step back, there, ginger avenger.

[Tulio]

So after speaking with the man in charge, we will not be splitting the day up as far as rule testing goes. If it was multiple days then we could see that working, but its going to take a while for people to get in the swing of it in the first place. Not a bad idea though.

[Gronk of MN]

That's fine.
No one has to volunteer.

Hey now, I'll be there, herald tabard in hand.

[Shepherd]

I'm looking for anyone from the Chicago area who wants to share rides up to Ruhn. I am willing to drive my SUV and have comfortable space. Just looking to save on gas. PM to let me know. Thanks.

[Tiercel]

I'm really excited about this, if I can go (two family vehicles in the shop doesn't bode well)

What's the minimum age for this event?

[Tulio]

People that are age 16 and up may attend. If you are under 18 and do not have a notarized wavier, you will not be able to attend the event. The college requires us to have legit waivers.

Waivers will be posted in the second post of this thread.

[Salamander]

If you are 18 or older you may sign the waivers at the door. Anyone under the age of 18 is required to have a parent or legal guardian sign their waiver. Anyone age 16+ is welcome to fight at this event.

The event went very well! Pictures will be up soon, I hope. I will also be starting up a new thread to discuss the play-testing of the green rules, as soon as I have time to sort through the questionnaires!

Thank you to all that cats that drove up here, despite the weather warnings!
