The Rules of Cavalry

[Bronto]

Caving Rules
1. Never enter a cave alone!
2. Always get permission before entering a cave – Every cave has and owner,
respect landowners and their property.
3. Cave in groups of at least 4, and have and experienced caver in the group.
4. Know your group – make sure they understand and practice cave conservation
and safe caving techniques.
5. Let someone know where you are going, and when you expect to return.
6. Always have at least 3 reliable sources of light.
7. Know the cave and check weather conditions before entering.
8. Always wear a helmet & have proper equipment in good working order.
9. Always have twice as many spare batteries/carbide than you think you’ll need to
complete the trip.
10. Know your limits, and have proper training and safety equipment before
attempting advanced techniques such as vertical caving.
11. Know and abide by the state and federal cave protection laws.
12. It is illegal to: break or remove broken formations; disturb harm or remove cave
creatures; disturb or remove historic artifacts or bones; deface the cave by leaving
litter or marking on the cave walls.
13. Don’t leave anything in the cave – Pack it in, pack it out! Dispose of all trash
properly.
14. Never use ropes, ladders, etc. that have been left in a cave.
15. Never run in a cave, and never jump when you can climb.
16. Always stay clear of people above and below when climbing.
17. If you dislodge anything while climbing, scream “ROCK!”
18. If someone screams “ROCK!”, don’t look up!
19. Always stay with your group – don’t wander off. If you get lost, STAY PUT…
someone will find you.
20. Never drink cave water – it may look clean, but can be polluted.
21. If anyone on the trip becomes injured or is excessively tired, that person should be
escorted from the cave ASAP by other experienced trip members.
22. Don’t give cave locations to just anyone! They may damage the cave, or trespass,
or get hurt or lost. Rescue operations can have a lasting impact on caves.
23. Please report cave vandals to the cave owner and the police. The actions of a few
bad apples can ruin caves and cause caves to be closed to everyone.
24. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but carefully placed footprints, kill
nothing but time. (NSS Motto)

Excuse me sir, but it is called Spelunking.

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 Still, they are all superseded by another, much older rule, which has already been pointed out, (paraphrased) "I'm on a horse motherfucker, move out of the way, you's a peasant bitch, I'm a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".

I only have a problem with CAVs that go after AFKs, spawn camp the enemy and pick on the rookie infantry guys in general. Only one comes to mind in NA1 and that is Thax. I called him out on it and he was my motivation for going Cav this gen. I spend at least 1 minute every round trying to protect spawn from THAX and after I called him out on being a CAV douche, he just proceed to call me a kid, immature or some other crap. Dude is a total douche all around specifically in NA1. I'm sure he is a nice guy.

THAX; read these rules man.

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?

ALL YOU SEE ARE MY HOOVES

2) In 1v1 jousting, where the challenge is clear, it is unprofessional to go for killing the opponent horse instead of the rider
   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.

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.

Got to admit that I miss the few cav vs. infantry duels we had on EU2. Too bad siege is dead and you aren't a siege regular either. Furthermore, I quit playing. Sad stuff.
