    The war begins 3 PM EST on Sunday.

    The Red Crusaders of Luna have made countless brave voyages thousands of miles to Britannia, in an effort to eradicate their holy land of Brittania from the scourge of Orcs. Centuries of turmoil have left the territories of Brittania in disarray, many Orc strongholds remain scattered through the land. A new crusade will soon be launched with the most valiant of knights pledged to once and for all purge the land from this dreadful scourge.

    No Monster Loot (Including jewelry; I will watch RPVs after the fact to check for jewelry used)
    Only allowed armor or items are that which can be bought from NPCs or crafted by basic non-runic tools. No dragon scale armor.
    No modded spellbooks equipped. (This may be altered depending on how mages fare in first fight)

    During battle, newly ressed players still wearing death robe may not be attacked. Once the robe is off, they are fair game. Similarly, you may not attack while wearing a death robe.

  3. Sundoom Sorceror

    Tis vermin reeks of something most fowl... To think we Crusaders have let thou live for so long... Tis a mystery, but shall be left unanswered as we set sail to eradicate all who polute Britannia's beloved city of Skara Brae. To arms my brothers and sisters! Ready your armor, sharpen your swords, tighten the strings of your bows; for we march to take back our city!
  4. Cornwallis Squire

    Oh my dear mate Muscly, I assume you never have heard of the powerful war tactic of Home Court advantage.

    Well, my friend, we have this. We shall begin building up our defenses to prepare for your attack. Make sure you bring all your best jewlery and armor because we are going to mercilessly take it from you!
  5. hugoboss Sorceror

    Skara in TRAMM... correct?
  6. Frasier Squire

    Arrrrr My viking sword is thirsty for Orcish blood.
    Let us know where to gather before sailing.
  7. Bile Knight

    2 Orcs vs. 5 Crusaders .. . . what an epic battle!

    You should compare the rosters and see whom is biggest

  11. Cornwallis Squire

    I have a big mace that only a true orc could carry. I'm so ready to smash it in the face of those pathetic knights.

    Aren't jewels disallowed? This sounds like it's going to be a shit-fest once you try to get started because there will be those not knowledgeable of/within regulation.
    And the guy that casts EO half way through the battle causing a slew of whining... You should link forum names to character names, so anyone caught outside of guidelines can be immediately removed from future events for their inability to listen/read. So much room for so much to go wrong, and the finger pointing will be hysterical.
    I hope the best for your turn out Muscly.

    Before Cornwallis thinks I'm targeting him saying he doesn't know the rules, I'd like to clarify I quoted it because it would be misleading to those who half ass read and see to bring jewelry.
    I'm rather sure Cornwallis is aware of the guidelines.

    and I'm only posting cause I like the idea and hope to participate once it's refined.
  13. serotonin Traveler

    Jewels are disallowed. I will be wearing my best non-runic valorite platemail, with an order shield and a broadsword to boot :D

    I think you're right though. For openness, I AM TRISTAN. I have no intention of breaking the rules. I am doing this for fun, not pride :)
  14. Sundoom Sorceror

    I'm Novak [Red]

    As for the jewelry post, it was a roleplay act. "Bring your gold, diamond, and gems, as orcs like shiney things" lol

    He was referring to how they'd take that kind of "jewelery" from the corpses of Red Crusaders after the battle is over - presuming they won.

    Correct - these battles will take place in Trammel

    If one side is bigger than the other, a few of us have characters that can be transferred over.

    Bribed Orcs or Traitor Crusaders can be guild swapped to even the odds.

    Bile, you joining in on the killing? I bet you're the type who'd be an orc.

    Thanks for the info, will be looking for the recruiters at Luna soon.. btw it was mentioned 3pm (1500) EST / 2200 GMT... is this correct? with daylight saving etc... should it 3pm EST = err.. 2000 (8pm) GMT ?
  17. MusclyBarbarian Sorceror

    Err, yes, was a typo, thought I wrote 2000 GMT
  18. MusclyBarbarian Sorceror

    Updated first post with map of battlefields and couple rule changes.
  19. I think Skara Brae should be a neutral zone on your map so that the turns can be determined strategically by the teams. That way the next few battles will be determined strategically.
  20. hugoboss Sorceror

    Well done to the organisers, if this becomes a continuous war with these sort of rules, with strategic play to capture territory, i'm all for the war effort!

    (yay Orcs! my house is in Orc held territory.. will raise the pikes with impaled red crusader helms as the new gruesome standard!)
