The Black Knight!

Well, Ekade and I tested out jousting just moments ago. We both got on mounts and dueled until incap.
While it was a lot of fun, I don't see it getting the longevity that Dariis' fight nights have. Since all you can do is standard attack, it came down to who had the better accuracy. I as a master pike got pwnzored by a master fencer with the FS melee defense tree.
We originally tried to make it so that we would only attack as we passed eachother, this feat proved impossible. It just wasn't working, so I changed the rules...without telling Ekade, of course, since the black knight will cheat if he can...and became pretty much just a mounted free for all.
There happened to be a crowd of passers by who seemed to enjoy the show though...which was what was kind of funny to me. It seemed more like a show then a fight...like the ones at those renaisance faires.
Who knows? Maybe we can use it as an entertainment tool like that. I dunno...although I have to say it was mildly enjoyable.
