The Four Big Rules O' Combat
1. No godmoding. You can't RP whether your blow lands on the other player; the other player will decide that in their next post.
2. That said--no power-play. If your character avoids all strikes, that's not realistic, and the judge will probably take that into account. If you want to win, you'll want your character to take a few hits.
3. The person challenged--that is, the person who posts to an invitation--gets to choose the weapon. Check out the info on the Thiasan Military to see a few of the weapons. Archery contests might get a bit hairy, but if you can manage it, we'll judge it. Jousting is more than possible.
4. Have fun! This isn't real war--these are fights for honor. And your honor's at stake. Feel free to insult your opponent and carry your characters' feelings about bouts over into the rest of your RP.
