The Rules of Cavalry

[Blueberry Muffin]

There is only 2 rules for cav on EU:

1) Aim for the arse
2) Fuck team mates

[Sandersson Jankins]

I always enjoyed calling infantry "fucking peasant groundling shits" when I was on a horse.

Silly peasants can't afford no horse.

When clearly provoked, it is your honor as cavalry to face infantry directly and not run from the challenge.

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.

I actually really like all of these, and abide by them.  i really like the field overlook one, imma use dat.

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.

Nope, no excuses.

Adding this.

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.

[Snufalufagus]

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!  This is the only rule for Cav.

[Panos_]

The only rules I follow as a lancer are these 3.

1. Always aim for the best enemies either mounted dismounted, even a single bump can change the entire round.
2. If I see a better lancer than me, for example Oberyn, Tommy or Torben, I always give them my horse.
3. Bump friendly turks and never apologize, bump them in purpose while they`re fighting for the lolz.

[KaMiKaZe_JoE]

But that's all backwards...

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.

[Alec]

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.
