PostSubject: Counting coup...   Thu Feb 04, 2010 11:55 pm

In the 19th Century, Native American Plains' tribes had a test of courage called. "Counting Coup." To count coup a warrior, almost always on horseback, would use a stick that looked similar to a long lacrosse stick. During a battle with enemy tribes, or white soldiers, the warrior would 'count coup' by charging up on a distracted enemy warrior and tap him on the butt with the coup stick and then ride off without getting hurt or killed. This earned great honour for the warrior. It was a show of courage.

So why do I bring this up? Well, I found a photo that shows, at least in Dagorhir, counting coup is still alive and well...



cheers

I think he just liked the way her ass looked in the skirt. She was probably pretty. At least the backside is.

Way to go, Dag.

How about this as a game. Counting coup Free for all. It's a normal free for all, but you can count Coup if you come up behind someone and tap them on the butt with the flat of your weapon. Keep count of how many times you count coup before you die. When the last person is left alive, everyone comes to a circle and says how many coup they counted. The person with the most wins. Ties are settled by death duals.

Very Happy
