The Caddy
Official uniform of The Caddy
In cRPG, a caddy or caddie is the person who carries an archers quiver and arrows, and gives insightful advice and moral support. A good caddy is aware of the challenges and obstacles of the battlefield being played, along with the best strategy in playing it. This includes knowing overall yardage, marker placements and arrow selection. A caddy is not usually an employee of a faction or castle. They are classified as an "independent contractor," meaning that he or she is basically self-employed and does not receive any benefits from his association with the faction. Some factions and castles do have caddy programs, although benefits are rarely offered. Particularly in Europe, the vast majority of factions do not offer caddies, and amateur archers will commonly carry or pull their own quivers.
Traditional caddying involves both the archer and the caddie walking the course. The caddy is in charge of carrying the player’s quiver, and walks ahead of the archer to locate his target and calculate the yardage to the target. This is the most common method used in factions and is the only method allowed in the PAA (Professional Archer Association). The three ups of caddying are show up, shut up, and keep up.
Fore-Caddying entails the caddie walking while the archers ride on donkeys. The fore-caddy will give a target description and then walk ahead to spot the archers shots. The caddie then gets the archers yardage (either with his eyes, course knowledge, or arrows in the ground) while the archers drive their donkeys from the spawn to their shots. The caddy walks ahead again to spot the archers next shots. This process is continued until the archers reach the flags. Once on the flags the caddie will read flags (if asked per proper archer etiquette), clean arrows (if asked), fix arrow marks, and attend the flag if asked. The caddie is also responsible for picking up arrows on the course. Caddies will help with castle selection, reading flags, weather variables, and marking arrows on the flags but should only do so if asked to by the archer. More than anything else, the caddy is there to make the archers round enjoyable by taking care of menial tasks, speeding up play, and providing mental support if asked.
When the archer runs out of ammo, the caddy must give the ultimate sacrifice for the good of the sport.
