[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 1489052, member: 3854"] For the record: I'm not opposed to the violence expected in a medieval tournament. I am not exaggerating when I say that this event was over the top. The first knight to be defeated was lying on the ground, obviously stunned or wounded. The victorious knight stood over him, sword raised, waiting for the word to kill. After the roar of the crowd "told" the king that they wanted death (I honestly don't know how he could figure the roar was a "yes" or a "no"), the victorious knight dispatched the looser. Let me explain it clearly: the victor "knight" clearly executed the looser "knight". All the knights did this. The fights were clearly said to be to the death. This was a Roman gladiatorial event, NOT a Medieval tournament. The shows in other cities may be different and better, but the Myrtle Beach MT is very, very bad. Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
