Title: Marketon: Behind the Scenes
Post by: Tiermann on August 01, 2011, 14:35:50
A few photos and a bloopers/out takes video

One of the big questions was about the falling klickies when they were unhorsed. It was all done by wedging the boots around the back of the saddle. There was only once where I used a little sticky tack to help the klicky stay on.

Thanks guys,
If I ever do this again it will be a smaller field - 16 instead of 32 knights. The 32 size is just too much work to do more than once every few years.

I am tempted to try doing a tournament in Rutileo...
But I don't really have the parts needed to do something like that. :-\
Maybe in a few years. :)

It doesn't have to be too bad as far as setting. Most of the event was photographed on my small set that was just a wall with a few things in the background and the jousting wall.
If anyone does decide to do it I have a spreadsheet worked out to help keep track of scores and so on.

There are definitely some things I would have as rules for any future events from a practical standpoint.

1. No clip on arm armor.  It doesn't allow enough hand movement to get the lance across the horse. I had to use sticky tack to keep those on in a number of cases.

2. Only use modern lances. The old style lances are shorter than the modern ones and it can be difficult if the guy with the short one is supposed to hit the head but the one with a long lance only hits the shield.

I really think we need a new scoring system that allows for a single die roll that is converted directly into action. Right now you add together two dice that have been rolled (electronically) and then convert that to a points score. It's cumbersome
There were a lot of head hits, too many I think. It would be better to just have it be body hit and the person doing photography can decide where on the body the hit happens.

I dream of  hosting  a jousting tournamnet at Krull,( not a dragon jousting as i said in teh past that will be very difficult to set etc on the air i suppose !!!)  but this will have to happen after my Knight Lore epic concludes and give the exceptional high standards of setting up and photos etc i will most certainly cant do this on my own . Hopefully however all needed arrangements will tkae place so i can host a jousting tournament at Krull in 2012 . The Marketon tournament has given me a lot of ideas and more importantly answers as how to do this , the behind the scenes and intro thread were most helpful

I have someone in mind who can help me ( not hard to guess i suppose ) if he can we shall create a tournament in 2012 that after marketon will have some very high standards to meet . NAd hopefully there will be more than 32 participants, i dream of a tournament in Krull with no less that 50 or so ( if possible of course) and maybe more hits needed for a winner . Just some thoughts that i am sure people like Tim can help/advice upon  :wave: :wave: ;D ;D ;D

The League Standings list is up to date after Marketon. Eventually I will get individual pages for the new knights added but it comes after the regular Animobil site update I am still working on.

Excellent stuff !! i think its good to have that list from all tournaments /participants !

By the way , a silly probably question but reference positions 2 and 3 honors -2 is more than honors 2  ???  , shouldnt they be the other way around or am i completely wrong ????  :( :( :( :( :(

Post by: Tiermann on September 02, 2011, 21:59:45
hmmm yes they should be. I will take a look back at the point totals, I may have put the wrong one down, or thought that Elric had a point more.

Sorry to be a pain Tim ( btw my knights arrived back today thank you so much !) but is the same for ranks 10 and 11 , shoudl they be the other way around or an honor is worth more that a point .. kinda confused .... :-[ :-[ :-[
Title: Re: Marketon: Behind the Scenes
Post by: Tiermann on September 05, 2011, 15:31:20
10 has one more win than 11, still haven't had time to check the other. Glad to hear they arrived ok.

Excellent stuff , sorry to be such a pain but would it be a good idea to put also anotehr column indicating how many tournaments won eg WOT's champion would be 1 etc etc . Since we shall be doing more tournaments ( Krull/Ceragem's is next year , hopefully there will be another one before Xmas i hope from someone else...) i think it makes sense to have this column also. and sorry to be such a smart alex , just an idea, i think these tournamanets is the best think i havew seen in our community !!!!!  :love: :love: :love: :love:
