Provost Prize - part one - Armored

Playing the prize is an old tradition. My participation in it however, is not. Gaining ranks in the CSG
is typically accompanied by a your peers and betters challenging the right to go forward. This is to ensure that standards are maintained, and as a right passage.

Posted here is a video of my most recent deed of arms, and more particularly my holding of the field.

I am Soliciting feedback. I want your thoughts on how it went, and how I could improve. This is a public event, and as such, I'd like you feed back delivered though this channel. So the floor is open. Hit me with your best shot.


SPOILERS - Please do not read beyond here until you have watched the vid. below is my own take and intentions.



OK? you watched the video? Ok then, carry on.

For my own feed back, excepting my fight with Shannon, I made my best efforts to hold the fight at weapons range. I did not wear a dagger, as further encouragement. This went....ok. It was hard to keep folks from crashing in.

It also showed me that while I was in decent shape for this fight, helmets with more holes for breathing are very helpful. I feel like a gassed out a lot. I was really feeling it by the end.

I also noticed that in full arms and legs, it is rather hard to feel. this was the first time i had worn this much armor, and i loved it, but i noticed I was much less sensitive.

in general, a lot of food for thought
