Fireheart

Both sides please add me @ fireheart519, if you do not have me already. I will create a group conversation.

Right, I am going to be stepping in here and will be overseeing the development of this warclaim. As far as talks and discussions over different factors of the warclaim go, it will be all taken to Skype. DPM is already the spokesperson for the attacking side while Silent will be the spokesperson for the defending side. Silent if you could add me on Skype I will add you to the chat! To speak also to the general participants of the last warclaim we will be doing a battlefield again. The battlefield will be put in a different world and created to restrict rule breaking and help manage the event altogether. After our first trial run last Saturday it went off pretty well as far as limiting lag. I personally learned a lot from the trial run and I ensure you that a lot of improvements will be made to the idea. I will be addressing the feedback threads regarding the event today and give some insight into some of the problems that happened and how they will not happen again. I will gladly put all fears to rest here, we will not have the freeze up issue when people attempt to exit the field.

The two last points you made are fine with the third one being given to the GM as a verdict to divide what is realistic or not. As far as reasoning for three allow me to explain. in the creation of these defenses it would become relevant as the war moves forward and a growing possibly of an attack on such a settlement could come to reality due to the previous battle. Thus defenses have been added to Barrowyk as the attacking side has done to their own settlements. If you require further reasoning I would disagree and ask for a GM to verdict it. As far as point one is concerned the actual settlement of Barrowyk is divided into two parts. There is a part of Barrowyk that will remain out of the war claim which is the storage sector and everything below ground level. Ground level not referring to the plateau's ground level, but the ground level around the holding. The reason why I ask for clarification on the wording of the rule is due to the fact that the settlement is raised up from the ground level around its near by area surrounding the fortified manor. Part of the actual settlement actually dips inside the plateau which is why I ask the wording to be changed. I'm not asking the attacking forces to go into the underground of Barrowyk, but there are components of the fortified manor that are, as your current rule would verdict it as, 'underground.' That is only due to the plateau which is why I ask for it to be reworded. I believe what you're asking for is clarified in that statement, but if not I can also provide a few screenshots to further explain it. I do not want a battle to be deemed over though just because we reside inside the actual building. Besides that I believe all points were made with a reply to the reply. Ark and you can work out any other details that he might have concerns with as I have heard you two have been speaking. If you are not content with anything I stated please either reach out to me on Skype or leave a reply to the topic. I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Location and boundaries: Rewards: Rules: Besides that, it is all I request be added or changed in the war claim rules. I will allow Ark to add in any comments and also participate in the communication between Gm(s), you, and myself. I do not see any reasoning in carrying this out on forums thus I am open to using Skype as a platform for communication. If you desire to keep it strictly to the forums I will not protest it. Good luck and have fun.

Franz takes notes of the effective advertisement format.

The time for 5PM EST works then, I assume? EDIT: 8:16 PST 7/27/15 tl;dr included! After reviewing the boundaries I will agree to the coordinates of x 695, z -2427 in the southwest and x 975, z 2682 in the northeast. In your request of keeping rule six in the war rule set, revolving around forced engagement, it will still not be accepted. Within the war claim format and RP reasoning itself would lead to no reason in having us have to push out to engage the enemy. We are labeled as the defenders and we will defend ourselves from your attacks. I do not agree with a forced charge from my party. This would be to the same regards if my party wished to eventually siege your settlement and sought out a field battle. In your statement revolving around rule five. You state that creating fortifications would be labeled as metagaming or OOCly preparing for this event to take place. I will gladly remove your fear of this and assure you that fortifications to our keep itself have been added on for quite sometime as well as the construction of road systems to better support the flow of troops. To reassure you once more it will not be some Great Wall of China or PvP fort. In an RP sense we have been to your lands quite frequently and always have someone on watch for movements outside your main settlement, your keep. I would assume that we would have a small window of preparation upon the movement of such a large force, geared for war mind you, thus we would assume the worst and hastily prepare ourselves for the battle. Fortifications would consist of a possible rock moved over for small cover or even a small ditch dug so to protect the solider somewhat of archer fire. Things as such and so on. All of this would be done in RP with an overseeing GM to dictate what would be allowed. My request would be that it is a GM not affiliated with Humans. Any preparation from you on your side would be borderline shocking, if you indeed are being attacked at your entry into the battlefield. ~Best regards, Fireheart~ Edit: 11:48 PM PST 7/29/15 I have waited patiently two days now with no reply from the other party. I have spoken briskly with a GM regarding a discussion to nail down the rules for this war claim with progress hopefully being made. After recent events I would like to make two request for this war claim. 1) That the war claim would be overseen by a GM not affiliated with humans. To ensure that this war claim goes off smoothly I would suggest a GM that is not a team leader so to allow other GM's to have dedication to this event. Suggestions from me would be Cosmic or Ricky as they are both not involved with human RP and would show no favoritism to either side. 2) As of recent raids and events I would view the 30v30 cap to be useless in it's purpose. I would request that the defenders now consist of the party showing rebellious actions to Oren, whether they be official or viewed a different way. Then the attacking party to be other human factions tied to de Solo. I would refer to this party as Oren to keep all confusion to a minimum. These are my two add-on request to my already pending statement. Thank you and good luck. If you have any concerns with either of these request. These two request or the one from two days ago please feel free to reply! ~Fireheart~

Taking the fact in that this is indeed an attack with the intent of eventually taking a siege to a holding held by House Vladov I would ask that rules 5-6 be removed before I accept your terms. The defenders, if the name is true, will be allowed to defend themselves in any means, in an RP sense. Whether that be light fortifications, to the use of the terrain to their advantage. Light fortifications will not be mini keeps or 'Great Walls of China.' They will be reasonable things such as trenches and cover for any forms of long ranged attacks. Boundaries will be reviewed upon my return from work and I will approve those within 24 hours. Date and time will suit me with a preposed time of 5 EST or after. If you have any concerns with the preposed request feel free to respond. Otherwise you may approve them. Anything else I missed and also the boundaries will receive a more detailed look through upon my return! Good luck to all sixty who participate. ~Fireheart~

Franz offers half a stack of iron and 2000 minas.

Franz throws in 1000 minas.

Franz offers 501 minas!

Franz would offer five minas for the tome.

Franz nods at the notice as he sharpens his blade. "Quite the group.."

A note would be slightly pinned onto the note. "I shall purchase for 10!" The note is not signed.
