Also, given the internal politics of a lot of realms, do we really think that if certain knights ended up on the field across from each other using fake weapons that either one would ever retreat before escalating it? It's hard enough to get people who's career's and advancements are not on the line to accept when they lost a wicker sword fight.
I would love to see an option, during training matches, to willfully break the training rules and try to wound your adversary, with a proportionate honor loss.
