1) Always give the senior cav right away.
a) This means that you should always be warrey to give the more senior cav the right of way.
2)It is unprofessional to go for killing the opponent cav instead of his hourse
a) Traditionally, cav have shown great respect for each other and as such it is a great sign of disrespect to kill the man instead of his horse, as following this will cause him to become dismounted which is a great dishonor in any case.
3) A cav's primary target is enemy cav, followed by enemy archers, and then infantry.
a) While opportunistically this ethos is not always viable, it severs the best interest of the class to follow this rule as pubic opinion has a substantial impact over the viability of it.
4) Team-bumping should be avoided at all costs
a) Cav is a support class at its heart, and as a cav we are advocates for our teammates, thus it is against our own interest to not represent theirs.
b) Thus, even if kill can't be achieved, it is always ideal to bump an enemy so that a fellow infantry can get the kill as that is in the best interest of the team.

Everyone knows the only rule of cavalry is "Fuck you, I'm on a horse."
2) In 1v1 jousting, where the challenge is clear, it is unprofessional to go for killing the opponent cav instead of his hourse
a) Traditionally, cav have shown great respect for each other and as such it is a great sign of disrespect to kill the man instead of his horse, as following this will cause him to become dismounted demonstrating that you are the better cav.
This is amusing because if you killed or even struck another riders horse in a medieval joust you would be disqualified and if the mount was killed or seriously injured you had to give over your own. Encouraging people to go for the horse is the total opposite of what the true knight should do. Going for the horse is both cowardly and displays the lack of skill of the jouster, it is far harder to hit the opponent rider and therefore far more glorious should you achieve this. Only an ignoble, upstart knave would ever condone such a cowardly move as intentionally striking their opponents horse.

Really learned a lot as I am but a lowly footpleb. Its nice to see that purposely teambumping and teamkilling is actually not the primary rule. Who would have known?

I agree with most of those rules. Still, they are all superseded by another, much older rule, which has already been pointed out, (paraphrased) "I'm on a horse motherfucker, move out of the way, you's a peasant bitch, I'm a noble, prima noctae up in here".

a) Traditionally, cav have shown great respect for each other and as such it is a great sign of disrespect to kill the horse instead of the man, as following this will cause him to become dismounted demonstrating not that you are the better cav, but rather that you took advantage of the closer proximity of the horse.

All cav be like:
I always enjoyed calling infantry "fucking peasant groundling shits" when I was on a horse.
When clearly provoked, it is your honor as cavalry to face infantry directly and not run from the challenge.I actually really like all of these, and abide by them. i really like the field overlook one, imma use dat.
When enemy cavalry is positioned to overlook the field, respect their peace and do not approach them aggressively.
As a runner, it's your duty to pursue routed infantry and archers to prevent them from fleeing.
In a joint charge, junior cavalry go first to trample enemies and leave them vulnerable to attack by the senior.
If you unintentionally kill a friendly cavalry unit's horse, it's polite to dismount and offer your own horse to them.
This part of the code I would revise add a b). Only because I use the normal Lance, which is not able to fight a good heavy lancer or great lancer 1v1 couch.
b) The killing of another riders horse is acceptable if the shorter couch weapon makes the kill.

Just pointing out that while playing NA yesterday Jason broke every single one of his own "rules" repeatedly, especially the killing afk's in spawn part. This man is no knight! He is but a knave, lowly and crude.
To be fair, I saw you spawnkilling several times, too, pretty sure.

I'm pretty sure you didn't, since I spent most of those rounds either fighting other cav directly or protecting spawn from them.

Confirmed. I was the one fighting him (DeLaitre)
As a disciple of Huey-senpai I've learned that Superior Lance Cav is akin to being like a demi-god and all others are inferior. It does not matter if they are afk, a peasant or a team-mate for all will someday be sacrificed to the GODKING.. oh wait I'm not spamming BIRD CLAN right now...uh... INVISIBLE PINK UNICORN. The only class worthy of respect is other Lance Cav and yes I agree to never be that guy whom first attacks the horse.
Also Ranged Cav are scum so embrace the bloodlust, kill them or die trying.
I know killing an enemy's horse is "lame" and all, but back when I played cav I really liked to kill a cav's horse and then shout "Infantry!", showing them how their social status degraded with that.Haha Ya ! Yesterday I killed an enemy cavs horse and I was like :
6) reassure everyone on the server that cav is, in fact, hard
Yes and that's why I mostly play cavalry. It's not fun if it's not challenging.
