BEDLAM IN THE BOUDOIR!
Three fencers (paramour, wife, jealous husband) per scene. The paramour 
wants to escape the bedroom unharmed. The behavior and armaments of the 
husband (and wife) are randomized for each paramour - limited details by 
request. This is a points competition, where only the paramour can score.

The paramour earns points for: getting away, not killing the husband, not 
wounding the husband, not getting wounded, bringing a weaker fighting style, 
and being entertaining! Paramours may use rapier, dagger, cape/cloak, 
baton/cane. No case, no shields. RBGs? Bring 'em! (Limit: one shot per 
scene.)

Fencers cycle through taking turns in each role. Modest prizes and wild 
acclaim for highest scoring paramour, best performance as husband and as 
wife (both determined by popular acclaim).

Both epee and schlager fencers can play in this scenario AND still be legal 
- it involves one fencer defaulting to dagger.

STYLE COURSE
At each station on the course is a skilled fencer using a given style 
(rapier, case, and so on). Advance through with your chosen style, fighting 
at each station. Then, choose another style and run the course again! This 
was a big success in Meridies two years ago at the rapier academy. Epee 
stations can happen.

PITS OF DESPAIR
Each is a "reverse" bear pit. The loser of the bout stays in (o, despair!) 
to get more practice with that form. The winner goes out, changes to another 
  form, and gets in line again. Double kill? Re-fight once. Another one? 
Both leave, next two in line come in. Lost a few times in a row and starting 
to get discouraged? Just bow out and get some water, no problem. One pit per 
five or six fighters. Epee pits can happen.

CLASS TOPICS: TBD. Is there anything you'd like to teach - or take?? Let me 
know... I have a few things I can teach; I bet Gunther does too!

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Atlantian fencers using epee need to be supervised by an 
Atlantian marshal.

OK, does this all sound like fun?
