Firstly, it's "shyke", not "shit". Not in this forum, at least. Syliras has a pretty solid rule about foul language, so if you use profanity, make sure it's ONLY the Mizahar versions. Secondly, a lance is between 9 and 14 feet long. No knight would spar with it on foot; they're simply not built, designed or balance for anything other than a mounted charge at full gallop. If a knight wanted to train with something "like a spear", he would use a spear. Thirdly, and importantly, don't crowd your threads with too many NPCs, even if they are approved. After a certain point, using so many requires Mod approval, you can't just do it yourself. Having a Knight or two looking for you with the mind to get some support would have been fine, but a whole slew of them is a little much. None of you have the seniority or authority to warrant that kind of attention, good or bad, without Staff/Mod approval. The rope and bucket trick was amusing, but Shimoje, no way would you have been stealthy enough to wrap a rope around someone's leg three times without them knowing. And it doesn't matter if the other person agreed to it: if it is beyond your skills and abilities, don't roleplay it. There could have been more coordination between the four of you, too. There seemed to be a lot going on, little spars and conversations and subplots, but it took you a while to pull things together. Next time, slim down the amount of things going on and keep it simpler, a stronger story-line. Oh, and please make sure you go back and edit your post in the Request Thread to reflect the fact this one is now done and dusted. PM me with any questions and later 'tater!
