truth be told....

is this Knight looking for another Squire?

have you asked him about that?

If he isnt, then you may put him in an awkward situation by asking.

maybe ask one of his current squires...

YRM Felix,

Some time ago, I had sent a request to fight by your side in this deed of arms and had not heard response from you as to whether or not I would be considered to be worthy by you to take the field.

I await your response.

Alaric....

even if it is "only" $2000....

that $2000 that should be given back to people this guy owed money to LONG before he ever considered fighting in Crown.

Anything less is irresponsible at best.

DKFB was used at the one Estrella I went to and it seemed to work very well. Much more "realistic" fighting since there is actually an advantage to outmanuevering your opponent.

I cannot disagree that Death on the Ground has FAR more merit and sense than DFB.

When you are knocked to the ground, you are....for all intensive purposes...helpless.

Correct me if I am wrong..... but in Death on the Ground a member of the enemy unit has to touch you and say "Dead"....right?

Ok,
As a spinoff of the "War or Tourney" thread, who uses Declared Death From Behind, and how do people feel about it?

Is it Chivalrous? If so...why?
Is it Not Chivalrous? If not... why?
