Fireheart

Good evening Lord of The craft. This evening we will be opening up another PvP-Zone on the island of Avar. This is to further stake the current conflict between the Dreadlanders and Orenians as a more drawn out experience. The location will house one capture point which can be used to gain advantages for the coming siege. Discounts of equipment and possible ammo is what will be placed on the line for controlling the PvP-Zone the longest in active combat. Enjoy and please read over the rules and guidelines below before participating! RULES AND GUIDELINES 1. Oren and her allies shall use status affectionate, the Dreadlanders and their allies shall use status fighting. Any soldiers with a differing status or no status will be punished accordingly. Capture points shall be held at two colors; orange for Dreadlanders and purple for Orenians. 2. You cannot be on the field without one of the aforementioned statuses. Walk around the PvP-Zone if you need to pass without fighting. Otherwise, the staff will assume you are breaching rule #4. 3. You may not No-RP kill a statused person outside of the PvP-Zone unless the combat began in the PvP-Zone. Doing so will result in regular punishment. 4. Any abuse of this concept whether it be for baiting or spying will go punished by the overseeing GM’s in the area. 5. You are allowed to use whatever means of fast travel you wish to arrive at the PvP-Zone. Using fast travel to go to the PvP-Zone and then raid is unacceptable and punishable. Go back home and walk to your destination. 6. You are allowed to return to battle whenever you wish; the 30 minute rule does not apply here. 7. Fights that start in the PvP-Zone should stay in the PvP-Zone. Purposefully baiting fights outside of it will be punishable. 8. Using LWC in the PvP-Zone is punishable; the warzone is meant to be dynamic, not marred with locks. 9. Anything borderline or close to breaking these rules will result in one verbal warning followed by a swift ban if the action continues. All appeals will be directed towards Fireheart. 10. Horses and pots are banned from the PvP-Zone. If you are caught with these listed items or entities you will be asked to leave. Repeating offenses will result in a ban. Anything on the line of breaking these rules or in a grey line will be addressed by an overseeing GM. Trying to bend the rules or gain an unfair advantage will result in a warning and possible ban, be careful and use common sense.

Warclaim denied by defensive party. This basis is allowed only due to a previous term that the offensive party was aware of prior to posting this warclaim. You may contact me for more details.

To clarify...we only spoke on the logistics of the warclaim. As Mog brings up valid points regarding regioning a higher authority, being Cracker, has clarified the warclaim as okey. As far as specific sect regions Cracker and myself will go over it and see what we feel makes sense in this scenario. This is on the basis that limited RP takes place between third parties and the Emperor of Oren which Cracker has already begun to organize. All terms will be reviewed and gone over within a Skype chat that I will be making. All three Systems Managers being Cracker, Cosmic, and myself will be involved in organizing this event.

Makes sense to me.

This warclaim shall be denied on the following points given. I suggest that if the attacking faction wishes to actually attack Felsen that they meet and fix the issues posted below. 1. Your RP claim to attack Felsen is weak. There is no insight as to why your faction wishes to attack Oren and I ask that you provide further insight and RP as to why this is taking place. 2. You date and time are too far off. A plethora of events can transpire in this time period and I would ask that you either hold off from posting up until a week from that point or to change your date altogether. 3. Side B is stated in rules that they will not be allowed to invite allies. You will need to state why so and how it makes sense. The whole "Because we're attacking right outside their city as a sneak attack" won't work. 4. Location is invalid as to how an army is capable of marching to the front gates of Felsen. Either specify the region you are attacking to and how it makes sense or speak to me privately so I can point you in the correct direction. 5. Rules 2-5 make no sense nor would they be allowed. Take it out. 5.1 Your warclaim is literally a meme, get out. With that I will deny this topic. You may reach me out on Skype if you truly feel like this is a mistake, however, I will ban you if you waste my time further with bullshit. Post like this should be placed in off-topic.

Defensive victory

OOC: Good evening Lord of The Craft. Today I bring to you a small announcements which consists of a small warclaim. Within the past day there has been a conflict of interest within the realm of Norland leading to the means of a rebellion. After speaking to both faction leaders and going over collective evidence I have ruled out foul play and region sniping. However, the claims of both factions are equivalent in their own ways and thusly we have agreed to a staged skirmish to decide who will oversee the area. Any questions can be forwarded to my Skype: fireheart519. WARCLAIM Tier Chosen (This cannot be changed after the first warclaim is held): N/A Type of battle: Skirmish (Field Battle) Date And Time: Monday Feb 22nd, 3:30 PST / 6:30 EST / 11:30 GMT Side A: Revolting Faction of Beo Thorsson of Norland and Allies Side B: Overseeing Faction of Sven Ruric of Norland and Allies Location and boundaries: Direct Area: Surrounding area of battlefield for reference to location: Terms of Victory All enemy forces killed on the battlefield. Upon Victory For... Side A: Control of the region "telemar" Side B: Maintained Control of the region "telemar" Rules -No delayed time. Portals will close right on the time and the battle will then begin.

Defensive Victory

I will be overseeing this coming warclaim and its development. Due to the current war rules in place I will be crossing out any unnecessary rules that go beyond their terms and be deleting them. They will be subject to discussion in Warclaim chat in a group conversation, no private messages. Dunamis' fort will now be placed on moderated building.

Offensive victory

PvPzone will be closed off at 12 PST in preparation for the warclaim.

Okey, today is the day the cease fire is lifted! With that stated several things will be taking place. 1. A Warzone has now been established within the area in the orange oval below. This area will serve to RPers as a warning as to where the area of conflict lies on the map. This is not a PvP-Zone so please do not get the two mixed up. Standard raid rules apply. With this in mind please be mindful of Rule #5 for PvP Zones. If you are caught abusing the perk of being able to fast travel to the PvP-Zone (Small red circle) to raid you will be banned for rule breaking. The outer circle establishes the region involved in the conflict directly to some extent. 2. A PvP-Zone has now been established within the red oval below. This area is instant status, instant PvP without proper RP zone. All rules will be enforced and followed below in the spoiler. 3. A brief picture of the PvP-Zone. We will be moving away from trench warfare and attempting something a bit different. As time goes on more damage and modifications will take place in the area. There will be one capture point in the center of the PvP-Zone which will provide arrow fire against the enemy. The party that takes victory for each day will be determined by War Managers and modifications to the zone will be made to favor them in the skirmish this weekend. Good luck!

Warclaim moved to denied due to peace. With this in mind battle 1 & 2 are bypassed. Oren will move forward to their planned skirmish in front of Fort Dunamis.

With the ever growing tension between The Holy Orenian Empire and The Realm of Vanderguan only conflict would be seen fit as a determining factor of who will survive. With the advancing Imperial forces on their way an internal conflict would be brought upon the mountainous region of Tyravik. Civil unrest would fill the streets and brothers would turn against one another. Imperial men would begin to ascend the mountain towards the keep of Ard’Ghorrock. In reaction to this loyalist would join in arms to defend their homelands against their traitorous brethren who have allied themselves against their enemies. Only bloodshed will decide who will stand strong and who will bend the knee. _______________________________________ There has been some issues and complications over this general region and after a detailed discussion amongst the team and between war managers we have decided that this battle will solve the current disagreement. It will be a simple skirmish over flat land to decide who will occupy the region ‘snowcap’. This will be the beginning of the current warpath in place by Oren. _______________________________________ WARCLAIM INFORMATION TYPE OF BATTLE: Skirmish TIME: Friday the 12th of February, 10 PM GMT, 5 PM EST, 2 PM PST (Proposed and Subject to Change) ATTACKERS: Clan Orvar and allied forces DEFENDERS: Qalasheen Spring and allied forces LOCATION: Ard’Ghorrock (Which will be fought on a flat field in the valley below) TERMS OF VICTORY: VICTORY FOR ATTACKERS- If the defenders are killed on the field of battle. VICTORY FOR DEFENDERS- Attacking forces are killed on the field of battle. REWARDS: Attacker victory: Control over the snowtop keep of Ard’Ghorrock. Initiative in the war. Defender victory: Control over the snowcap keep of Ard'Ghorrock. Initiative to proceed with a siege upon the village of Tyravik and the overseeing fort above. RULES: The rules provided are under a new war system in trial. It is your responsibility to be aware of them throughout the remainder of this war. Here is a link for your viewing pleasure.

This is in reference to outside entities that search to capture land through conquest. More so to stop so to say the Wood Elves from just rolling up to the Human Capital and warclaiming it. There is a process behind everything, if this truly is an internal conflict that has come from within the nation there will be consideration into the legitimacy of this warclaim. I will be speaking to faction leaders as well as Orenian leadership to disclose a verdict on this warclaim. In the meantime I will leave this post unlocked in hopes that some constructive conversation might arise from it. If you are not a faction leader or remotely close to one, please do not post. This helps me search through relevant data to make a verdict. If you have questions or clarifications about the conflict the best way will be to reach me through Skype @ fireheart519. Cheers. (Posted Sunday at 4:03pm pst) Right. After speaking with faction leaders and also allowing time to think on the matter I have decided to deny this warclaim on the following standpoints. 1.This warclaim, in itself, was already denied by an Administrator due to the OP being banned. Soon after the warclaim was reposted by a different user with the post being copy and pasted. From that point stated by me to Vege he had edited out items such as Vulc’s character and has made edits to include certain required aspects, such as land being warclaimed. When you post a warclaim you should have it ready to review, rather than editing it to meet requirements. This is from the standpoint of an RP cause and basic information beyond rules. 2. Location and Boundaries are invalid. Dour Watch does not exist beyond the OOC region as the keep was taken down by myself quite awhile ago. The original poster of the previously denied warclaim was unaware of this. After speaking to Vege about this and asking for a direct region he was unprepared in a response. As a note to be taken from this - Warclaims are meant to revolve generally around settlements/establishments. Seeing how Dour Watch is just a flat plain of land I see the viability of it, but the intent is not to take that alone, but to in fact uproot a greater force which would be the Istrian population. Planning to do this would mean that targeting a settlement should be in the minds of the attackers instead of a flat plain of grass. This point of my denial can not be defended by the defenders as you “wanting a slice of the land” or for you to set up a “staging ground.” All of that is besides the point and contributes to the overall denial. 3. RP cause. The RP cause to this is extremely weak with a news paper full of propaganda and an actual RP post being the only items to revolve around these events. Keep in mind that the RP post was made right after the warclaim when it should have been done well in advance. In addition to this a region owner Aegis_Lima, being a de Solo, was the cause of legitimacy that Vege raised as a point to have an internal conflict. Aegis_Lima is currently in the middle of dealing with something in real life and thusly is not able to defend this statement from Vege. He was gone well before the denied warclaim was posted as an added point. Upon his return the attackers may speak to me again about a cause to it, but I doubt it will change the standpoint. Beyond these three points I have noticed a lot of OOC hatred between the two groups which has bled into RP interactions with characters popping up with extreme claims towards land and titles. I have discussed this conflict in drawn out detail with both parties to come to this conclusion while also speaking to other high members within Oren. If the attackers ever wish to rebel they will need more than just one inactive region owner to do so alongside poor RP causes. If you disagree with your current leadership of the duchy you are free to move elsewhere, but internal fighting will not be legalized through a warclaim in this example. This whole warclaim reeks of poor preparation and a drive for pointless PvP. I will direct all questions and concerns towards my Skype as I will be locking this topic to restrict further posting. Warclaim moved to denied, have a good one.

I will be overseeing the development of this warclaim alongside overseeing the warclaim itself. Leaders have been added to a Skype chat and a conflicting rule has been altered. This topic will now be locked, good luck! Adding on: As of Jan 26th I will be looking into the warpath of this preposed warpath. This is due to an unforeseen event that has taken place and has led to this warclaim being pushed back a week. As of now the new date will be the 20th and will be subject to change by party agreement. Cheers! Adding on further: Jan 28th Due to further changes into the warpath this warclaim will be delayed. A date shall be decided when this warclaim fits into the warpath if Oren advances. For now it shall sit and collect dust until that point. If we do get to that point the warclaim will be revamped with correct dates and RP backing behind it. Enjoy! Update Jan 30th: Warpath has now shifted and battle three will be taking place on the currently preposed date. Update Feb 7th: PvPzone is nearly complete and will see a release in the afternoon of the 8th. It will serve as an area to PvP out and rules will be provided to this post here tomorrow. The skirmish will take place in that area this Saturday as planned. Expect another update tomorrow.

I still doubt the legitimacy of the warclaim, but I will allow it to sit and await for a conversation to develop between the two sides. As a reminder posting is restricted to faction leaders only. All further post outside of that will be hidden with the player receiving a warning point.

Defensive Victory

Cosmic and myself will be overseeing the development of this warclaim alongside him being the head overseer for the battle. This topic will be locked due to the Skype discussion already in place. If you have note worthy information please reach out to me privately on a case by case basis.

Offensive Victory

As always, I will be stepping in to oversee the development of this Warclaim. To save the pain that was the debate of Alchemist fire I will be locking this post. There is an established Skype group and my Skype is not hidden from the public. You are free to contact me about any questions regarding this warclaim or war in general. Best of luck to both sides, let's get to work.

Attacker Victory.

Warclaim closed by request.

I am confident that all illegal materials were found. Moderation would be rather hard if we only allowed a certain amount considering the sheer numbers of players that show up for the fight. It will stay as it is, simply allowed.
