The way I look at it is if anyone does not have a white diamond on their
helm, but does have a piece of duct tape that doesn't match my side,
whack them like you want them to lay down.  If they yell out "I yield"
during that time, stop hitting them and smile and say "oh I'm sorry did
you want to yield instead of getting hit? Perhaps you should think about
a WHITE DIAMOND for the next melee, otherwise lay down"

Sir Alrek Kanin  (again)
remember archers dont load very fast when being chased across the
field,  it is more fun herding them than hitting them
