I thought it would be awesome to recreate the "formations days" that worked during the beta stages of Warband where a group of geeks logged onto the server and were trying to make proper cavalry wedge formations only to charge organized square formations of pikemen on the other side - for nothing more than fun...
Now a bunch of peasants declared a new political system in their village - a representative democracy. The only thing that now needs to be done is to go in an unorganized mob to announce their landlord that they no longer feel to be obliged to pay the taxes...
EVENT 01 - Get ridden down by heavy cavalry!
For the start I thought it would be good to start with something simple - experience how does it feel to be ridden down as a peasant by an organized charge of heavy cavalry. The whole event should take only a few minutes (like 30-45 i guess). For participating in the event all you should do is to read this first post and than come to the server at appropriate time with appropriate gear and knowing what to do in order not to delay the others. Server for the event will be passworded, the password will appear here down at the thread a few hours before the event. You can also come to Fallen Teamspeak so we are better coordinated. If you won't know the password - go to have a look into this thread - this makes sure that you know what is the event about. You won't be admited into the event if you ask for password on the Teamspeak or anywhere else!!!
teamspeak
server= fallenbrigade.org
port = 9987
password= ginnungagap
There should be 2 groups in different teams
small group1 - heavy cavalry (15 guys)
big group2 - peasants (up to remaining capacity of the server)
if you want to act as a heavy cavalry in the event, please apply here in this thread (there are only 20 spots for this role). you should spawn with a heavy horse (destrier or above) and heavy armor. preferably for your innitial charge you should also use a great lance. for the whole charge you should keep your speed according to the one that leads the charge - i hope some mature player on a plated charger will apply for this role. right after the innitial organized clash you're free to slaughter the remaining peasants in a free way.
if you want to act as a peasant in the event just login into the server at appropriate time (or preferably a little bit before). you don't have to apply anywhere, just login. when you spawn, spawn with an appropriate peasant gear.
appropriate peasant gear
any shield up to lvl 1 requirements (or none)
any weapon that costs 300gp or less
any body armor that costs 3 gp
i suppose there will be more rounds for this event - make sure that you have a weapon that doesn't stop horses as in the innitial charges/battles the horses shouldn't be stopped. in later ones a few tridents can appear ^^
action
map will be set probably to battle mode
peasants will stick closely together in a mob around the leading peasant
after the initial clash the peasants are free to run away from the mob to save their lives

please feel free promote the event over crpg forums/servers, especially if you registered as a heavy cavalry so there are enough peasants to slaughter :o)
if you want to record the event, your presence will be of course more than appreciated! for a round you even can take a role of leading peasant (don't forget to bring a torch for this)
