There was a lot more going on than just melees, though. There was equestrian combat. Hero fights. Parties, Shopping, Opening Court preceeded by the Royals coming in on horseback. And if there are no pics or videos of the "Choppa" tournament I just might cry. I'm SO annoyed I didn't get to go play.
Yers,
Duke Gunthar

That
was freaking brutal. I kept expecting someone's gauntlets to crumple like paper or someone's head to explode. Was truly quite manly.

My gauntlets didn't crumple, but they did blow out rivets. I'd love to see more pics of the whole event. Does anybody else have some?

Oh hell......just for the record, I've had some awesomely executed Epic ideas, 150ft slip n slide at Gulf Wars, 16 person twister (with color coordinated shots) the 1st annual BAM chopper tournament and shotzee just to name a few. The Friday night Four loko tasting WORST IDEA EVAH. HOLY
