Talk:Tournament

Order someone to attend?

Hmmmm, so you can't order people not to go to a tournament, which his good. However, could you order someone to attend one? There's no mention about this. -Chénier 19:24, 29 June 2007 (CEST)

Anyone who gives you orders about going to a tournament should be reported to the titans.

Sounds like telling someone to go would be an order concerning a tournament, therefore, a no-no. As TOM always says, stay as far away from the inalienable rights as you can. Fredrich 19:29, 29 June 2007 (CEST)

Yeah, I'd figure. But while I can see reasons why nobles would have to right to go, what reasons would there be for them to not go? -Chénier 20:52, 29 June 2007 (CEST)

There are plenty. Joining a tournament means that you can't do anything back home. No courts/police work to keep your region in shape, defend against possible attacks from monsters (repute anyone?), you simply don't want to risk your men abandoning, your character is antisocial, easily embarrassed if he losses, doesn't want to meet with foreign nobles, or is paranoid or generally unliked at home and can't spare a week away from the deceitful, backstabbing life of a nobleman. The list goes on and on, just be creative. Fredrich 21:03, 29 June 2007 (CEST)

Ah, you are right, it makes perfect sense! I'm used to be the scheeming one, forgot others do it too. ;) -Chénier 22:01, 29 June 2007 (CEST)

Call them troop leaders?

"Troop leader" is still correct, though, in the sense that only the nobles capable of leading troops can go to tournaments: i.e. not priests or advies. Not sure for infils, but they can now lead troops too... -Chénier 23:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Troop leader is /not/ correct. Courtiers can lead troops, but cannot attend tournaments, and nobles these days are /far/ more than just leaders of soldiers. Shwartzring 00:11, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

We can change it to "Warriors", which I believe is technically correct. But it seems a little overly specific for the intro paragraph, especially given that people can change classes. I think we should mention somewhere though (later on in the article) which classes can join. -- Corwyn 01:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
