The High Games at The Marillion

Shaitan · Nov 28, 2002

It's time for the next Vanir hosted competition and celebration at The Marillion. This time around we will be concentrating on horsemanship and hunting skills with a grand finale of cavalry manoevers and movement as we prepare to head for the Japanese front.

There is no entry fee and Vanir will be awarding prizes for each contest winner. Please note the contests you will be participating in and note the preferred equipment that you have. If you do not list the preferred items, you will be assumed to not have them.

This will be a multi-day event. The first day (4 December) will have the performance contests. The second (5 December) will have the hunting events. The final day (6 December) will be the cavalry events.

For the cavalry events, participants will be randomly placed into teams.

Without further ado, here are the contests:

Octavian X · Nov 28, 2002

I was hoping for an event involving distance weapons.... Alas...

The Knight of the Cedar shall enter the Steeplechase and Circuit race events. For them, I will use a hunter and throughbred (Wind of Hope) I have purchased.

I also wish to participate in the Mobilization and Manoevers events.

To all participants, the best of luck!

EDIT: new events/items

Plexus · Nov 28, 2002

I would like to enter the small game competition and the alpha dog competition.

disorganizer · Nov 28, 2002

I would like to enter:
High Joust
Mobilization
Manoevers

All necessary skills and items are present.

If someone has a appropriate horse for the circuit race and/or steeplechase and no rider, i am willing to jump in (i dont want the money...).

Grandmaster · Nov 28, 2002

I'd like to enter the High Joust. Let's see if my streak will continue. I have all necessary stuff.

gunning1 · Nov 28, 2002

Darn, if only I had a large or small warhorse, a hunter, a Thoroughbred, some animals, and some better stats...Well, better go buy those animals...

gonzo_for_civ · Nov 28, 2002

Ahh shaitan. Pick some random events and sign me up. If anythings required I'll just buy it

Don't feel like choosing right now

Padma · Nov 29, 2002

Put me down for Alpha Dog and Pheasant Hunting, please.

gunning1 · Nov 29, 2002

Put me down for the Circuit Race. I will be using the TB that donsig lets me use in the races in the FRLA.

I will sign up for more, just not at the time...

BCLG100 · Nov 29, 2002

i dont think i can enter into any of thoose things as i am more concentrated on fighting on 2 feet

Cyc · Nov 30, 2002

Cyc, Prince of Manitou will join the High Games at the Marillion.
Below is the list of events I wish to enter and the equipment I will bring for it:

Performance - Hunter
Steeplechase - Hunter
Circuit Race - TB
Low Joust - Hunter
Deer - Masterworks Long Bow
Boar - Spear (3)

I am interested in signing up for Mobilization and Manuevers. Where can I find the rules for these games?

Shaitan · Nov 30, 2002

Mobilization will be moving a force of horsemen and a carted supply train from The Marillion to Valhalla, then to Kuhkaff and finally back to The Marillion (three legs). The first leg will be en masse movement. The second will be forced march and the train will be approached three times along the way by "judges" that represent raiders. Points will be deducted if the judges reach the train before an equal or greater number of horsemen can intercept. The last stage will have the vanguard separate and proceed at maximum speed while an escort force travels with the train at its best speed. This leg will have one "attack" by the judges. These use basic Strategy and the attacks will call for Tactics.

The manoevers will have the contestants trying to secure the most favorable ground and formation in several different configurations. This will be exclusively Tactical manoevering.

As many people have opted out of the Conflict Rules, Vanir will supply horse troops when needed. Of course, your own troops are preferable as they are presumably familiar with your command style already.

BCLG100 · Nov 30, 2002

shaitan i think that you should have a competition just for the people that are opten into the conflict to improve people wanting to join it

jdd2007 · Nov 30, 2002

i will enter the high joust, the circuit race, and both cavalry games.

disorganizer · Nov 30, 2002

I still propose a team-"capture the flag" game

And maybe a special "tracking" game, where you have to find a target?

Octavian X · Nov 30, 2002

I wish to change the my eqipment for the circuit race. Rather than riding a hunter, I shall ride my new throughbred, The Wind of Hope.

I also remembered I have the skill to participate in the Mobilization and Manuvers events. May I have the use of a unit of the famed Vanirian riders?

gunning1 · Dec 1, 2002

Steeplechase and Fox are the other 2 events that I want to participate in...I will use the Hunter that Strider lets me use in the FRLA...and I will probably participate in more...BTW, when is this going to be?

Strider · Dec 1, 2002

I want to partcipate in Circuit Race and Performance.

I will be riding Neverwinter in the Circuit Race and Aden in Performance (Both hunters)

Cyc · Dec 2, 2002

I would like to participate in the Cavalry Events and I would also request Horse Troops be supplied to me.

jdd2007 · Dec 2, 2002

i purchased 6 lances for the high joust so i better do well in it
