[Steppes] Fall Court

Thu Jun 8 09:41:51 PDT 2006

Maybe we witnessed a miracle a few years back at a Fall Court autocratted by
Wil Ironwyrm?  We had a res battle that involved the stealing of pigs, and
there were definitely enough armored fighers on the field that they seemed
to really enjoy it.  Not fighting about it with you, just confused, which is
a general state of affairs lately.

I'd recommend pulling Lord Hrafn, the Knight Marshal into the discussion. 
While I love fighting, the number of fighters that usually attend Fall 
Court, which is an off-calendar event, are usually pretty low.  Ressurection

battles, which are fun, don't usually work too well with 4 people in armour,

as an example.  I don't like to be a nay-sayer but I'll say that the idea of

melee events at fall court is, er, ambitious.
