[MR] pennsic independent

Actually your Grace I disagree...I thought particularly the Tuchux behavor 
this year was especially bad, and almost remincent of the year they were 
jumping out of trees on people during the woods battle.  During the Gates or 
Rome Battle, I was face thrust with a spear well after I had hit the ground 
dead and in a prone position. When I asked the Tuchux "what you gotta make 
sure?" I was told by him "YES" instead of sorry dude. When I said WHAT?? in 
an incredulous voice, a Middle knight defused the situation until I left the 
field, as which point I stewed about why someone would intentionally stike a 
blow to my face when it I was prone and therefore, according to the rules of 
the list, unengageable so I would be unkillable. By then, of course. I could 
not actually identify the Tuchux scum who face thrust me. My squire Kellia 
was stuck twice in the kidney by a Tuchux polearm while she was down in the 
same Gates of Rome battle. She was struck with enough force she could barely 
walk the rest of the day, and was in anywhere from severe pain to moderate 
pain for the entire week as a direct result . She missed the Woods Battles, 
and Mountain Pass battle due to these unchivalous actions, and I chose to 
keep her out of the bridge battle as I did not feel her back was up to the 
stresses of a bridge battle. She also, while dead in the Gates of Rome 
battle, was intentionally face thrust by Tuchux several times after she was 
dead and prone on the field. Lastly, I saw an altercation during the field 
battle with a Tuchux and an another Atlantian resulting in the Tuchux being 
pulled from the field because he had been killed multiple times then got up 
and continued stabbing people. Throughout the war, I had problems getting 
people to acknowledge blows, even from my unpadded polearm. I am aware that 
there are usually problems with the Tuchux..but thsi stuff seemed a lot more 
blatent to me.
