[Elfsea] Bear pit vs. melee vs. regular tourney

[eleanor cleavely]

Methinks Lord Cathal has it spot on!

As a spectator and former fighter (what? I've fought...once....), I like the
one-on-one traditional tourneys. Why? Because of the opportunities for
heraldry, pomp and circumstance. My favorite types of tourneys are pas de
arms. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE pas de arms because it's the type of tournaments
that would have happened during my time period.

We don't have to do melees and snowballs all the time...let's have a pas
once in a while! I remember a long time ago (at least seven or eight years
ago) when we would have a pas de arms to choose the Baronial Guard. Why
don't we do this anymore? Why don't have pas de arms period anymore?

That might be something to try...

Just my two pence...whatever they're worth today,
Lady Eleanor Cleavely
lover of loudmouth heralds, pomp & circumstance...
