The World Jousting tournament is going to be an interprovincial Jousting tournament. Each province will have a Joust hosted by an organization from that Province, and I have offered us up to Host the Ilithi joust. Don't worry about contributing if you don't want to, but try and come if you can, it should be fun.
1) If you want to joust, let me know. There will be multiple brackets, divvy'd up by Polearms skill, so that if you enter, you will not be horribly outclassed.
2) There will be gifts and prizes. Each Joust will have gifts available (A piece of horse tack per Joust). If you go to all of them, you will have a nice, full set of horse gear. A full list of prizes will be forthcoming, but there'll be pretty things, some fancy weapons and/or armor. I may have reluctantly agreed that one of the lower tier prizes will be me being your stableboy for a day in a bout of hilarious RP where I clean up after your horse and soil my pretty clothes (the horror!).
3) Each joust will get more and more people qualified for the final Joust, which will occur closer to Guildfest, and will have even *more* prizes.
4) These will run throughout March and April. I will get the details of the dates (as well as the date of the Ilithi one so that people can plan to come) soon. It is sounding like they will be in the evening on weekends to accomodate the largest number of people.
Come one, come all, and watch me make a fool of myself by getting knocked silly off my horse.

Alright! We're doing this!
Weekends are tough for me but I'm in if I can make it and happy to help train people and horses and stuff if necessary.

Anyone who needs a horse may want to find Etherian. Good luck on that!

Anyone who needs a horse may want to find Etherian. Good luck on that! The man is a myth, a legend; a creature born of the shadowy woodlands who leaves nothing in his wake. If someone tells you to go find Etherian, don't do it. It is a trap. If you think you see him, don't blink, not even once, because if you do -- he'll be gone.  And this jousting tournament sounds fantastic! While not a jouster myself, I certainly hope everyone who is joins up for the chance at fame, glory and Starlear as your personal stableboy. |

You don't find Etherian. Etherian finds you.

Itala would love to participate. Needs a horse, though.

I'd like to try and schedule a date and time when we can get together and go over jousting mechanics, have some fun practice jousts and teach horses and players the joust skills. I'd like to steal Etherian but I haven't even run it by him yet because I'm a terrible person, but he's too nice to tell me I'm so. I'd like to borrow someone else who shall remain nameless, too.
Weekday evenings work best for me. Anyone interested in something like this? If it turns out to be a small number of people interested, we can just schedule something on an individual basis.

Star and I have been trying to schedule a Jousting 101, but haven't picked a date yet.

Is there a wednesday coming up that has no games? That might be good.

I'll nudge Etherian later. I think next Wednesday is likely a good pick.

Jousting 101 will be held Wednesday, 2/12, at 10pm EST. I've e-mailed an event notice to events in the hopes they can toss it up on the calendar. I riddled the entire announcement with puns.

Interested in learning to joust, but don't know what end of the horse is the front? Don't know a caparison from a bridle? Do you have a horse, but haven't yet sent it to horse school for tricks, tolerance, or jousting lessons? Do you not even OWN a horse, and want to get in on the fun? Ilithi's Crystal Vanguard is hosting a Jousting 101 night to help familiarize new prospective jousters with the basics. Let's saddle up and spur you into action!
There will be a Ranger and Trader on hand for horse-related transactions, and there will be plenty of people around to answer questions, or teach you that new skill you've been wanting to learn about riding, such as targeting spells from horseback. When asked if this was an event to miss, all horses queried responded, "Neigh!".
In case you missed it!

Too bad instructing horses doesn't work like normal classes, where I could instruct more than one horse at a time on a single topic.
Thankfully instructing a horse to joust is fairly quick now.. but if there are 4 people wanting their horse instructed to joust that is about an hour total.
If anyone here wants training for their horse, you might try to get with me before that so we can spread the training around a little.

I should have no problem making it there Wednesday. The people joust classes take a few minutes, too, and need to be done one at a time. Improved joust is a technique of sorts that can be taught by paladins above 50th circle.

Also just a reminder there will be gifts and prizes! I can say pretty confidently that there will be an Ilithi-themed Saddle.
