Jorik grins as his men execute their commands perfectly and the Orenian force was soon repelled.

I'm for exploring alternatives to the one time capping issue I'd prefer more prolonged bits of combat. They're a lot more fun and could allow for a more consistent and accurate result from combat than just a wave once a day.
As for the whole 8-0 Oren thing. I won't say that the reason for it is the system. Its not. Oren beat our side's forces on multiple occasions fair and square. However, in the midst of PvP having the entirety of the Oregonian force come and go in 20 minutes isn't fun at all its not battle s or war zone its capping a point and leaving.
Shortest game of domination
So yea lets try it out if majority believes its a good idea.

Could we stop this? While I agree the coup shouldn't of been ruled a raid there was 0 logistical way that the perpetrators could have ever held on to Felsen(I assume Petrus is a typo). The harbour was blockaded by the Imperial fleet, the city was in the center of the heartlands of the Empire and the War's battle line was no where close to being able to resupply the garrison if we are talking about roleplay here. I've already explained the courland debacle and if you need a refresher PM on skype.
Nah my point is staff rules both ways equally as shitty sometimes.

This is just simple shilling to the nth degree. There's a reason for all the pent-up anger, and it's because the playerbase, most notably the largest on the server, feels unjustly targeted by the moderation team that is supposed to ensure that the server remains fresh and fun. When you have a team that is actively biased against one nation, is composed of an oligarchic clique of people and actively stifles and repeals legitimate roleplay such as the High Elven coup, it doesn't just affect Oren.
In fact, many of the threads I've seen criticising the moderation team don't even originate from the Orenian playerbase, this is one of the first. Challenging Oren doesn't mean favouring smaller, niche playerbases simply because they happen to be in opposition, but stopping unfair actions with no grounds in roleplay. Ideally, the staff team should be wholly neutral.
To insinuate that the evidence which was never provided is worth more than another's words is stupid. Absolutely ******* retarded, in fact. This pent up anger we feel doesn't stem only from the players of Oren, but from numerous areas on the server as we have to deal with bullshit time and time again from a staff team that acts like an Orwellian example of an overreaching, oligarchic authoritarian government which actively stifles anything that they do not approve of.
These things swing both ways. The coup of Petrus, the situation with courland, the cancellation of dreadlander war claim, the list goes on. The pendulum swings both ways and it hit hard for Oren this time around. It doesn't mean that the staff is bias, but simply that they made decisions that didn't favor one side.
You want a team that is neutral and at the same time involved with the player base. Its hard to find. In Tahmas' case, he was involved in role-play with a side in a war and from then on out was labeled as bias.
Confirmation Bias describes an idea taking hold in someone's mind where all actions are quickly labelled to that idea. It's textbook.
I see you read 1984 freshman year too as everything is now Orwellian.

But I'm afraid that's not gonna work this time around, friendo. Not like getting opposed by the staff team has ever stopped Oren from getting what they want anyways, might have to do with that "RP" thing that some of the elves sometimes do.
Man I argued with Tahmas last weekend about the war claim we don't always agree.
To say that my opinion is completely invalid due to my position is shortsighted to say the least. Could say the same about Maly and the rest of those against Tahmzas. This is an open topic where all opinions are valid so lets discuss not devalue.

High flung statements of claimed bias as a result of unfavorable decisions to you and your player base's goals is not bias, but simply reprimanding for negative action. Tahmas is not nearly the worst admin we've ever had. He's not nearly even a bad one. He works diligently staying in all teamspeaks available for a word if need be.
He is the target of scapegoating as suddenly the admin team rules against Oren. As soon as that happens it must be bias. This post screams confirmation bias. It screams high horse.
@Tahmas don't resign. This is simply adversity in the face of a changing staff team that doesn't necessarily inherently favor Oren. There is still a large group of players that is very much in favor of your position and a large group who is simply standing by at it. The vocal minority is not the majority.
As for the claims of no evidence. There is clear evidence evidence enough that those who were being victimized felt uncomfortable posting it in fear that people like you and your friends would target them further. I'm in favor of the defense of such people who fear even speaking out.
There is a large amount of pent up anger in this post that can only be a result of the fact that you are not getting your way in a world that can only go your way. My suggestion is simply to speak with the staff team more on this instead of tin foiling and demanding removal with high flown diction and accusation of someone who for once is actually doing their job.

The Dwarven Legion
The Dwarven Legion, defenders of Urguan, protectors of the Faith,
guardians of the people. The sole purpose of the Dwarven Legion is
to protect and serve the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. It is the main military
force underneath the Grand Kingdom, and also one of the most prestigious and oldest military guilds. The Legion is known for it’s notable order and discipline, excessive training and precise execution.
Notable Battles
Battle of Ugluk Fort
The Legion siege the Orcish fort of Clan Ugluk. The result is a Legion victory and the land is claimed for the Grand Kingdom. This particular land would become the site of Storm’s Crossing and eventually Kal’Ithrun.
Battle of Snow/Battle of Nation Crossing
The Legion and it’s vassals face off in an open field battle with the Empire of Oren. The result is a loss due to a surprise flank by House Flay.
Battle of the GM Village
The Legion sieges the GM Village defended by the Orcs and the skygods. The result is a staggering massacre as the Orcs turn sides in favour of the Legion.
Battle of Frostfall
The Legion and their allies siege the tower of a Harbinger and are eventually pushed back under the waves of drudges and ridiculously overpowered magic.
Battle of Shadow Castle
The Legion, Tuetons and Elven forces siege the Orenian fortress of Shadow Castle. The result is the eventual retreat of the Legion forces under the onslaught of an orcish flank and flying Strelts.
Battle of Thoringrad
The combined forces of the races of Anthos siege the Legion fort of Thoringrad and the obsidian wall stretching from coast to coast. The result is the Legion retreating to the depths of the tower of Thoringrad where the great powers of the Green Skygod remove the ground above them, the ensuing fight results in an Orenian victory.
Battle of Indagolaf
The Legion, pushed back from the trenches surrounding the remains of Thoringrad, entrench themselves in the depths of Fort Indagolaf, an underground superfortress. After a lengthy siege, the Legion forces emerge from the fortress in a charge that would route the human, orc, and elven forces.
Battle of Kal’Azgoth
The Legion forces alongside their allies, led by a dwarf freed from the clutches of Ondnarch, make their way through the deeproads and into the sealed city. It is here that Igor Ireheart, wielding the Hammer of Baradin, sacrifices himself to destroy the essence of Ondnarch and free the trapped Aengul Wyvern.
Battle of the Dreadfort
Human forces backed by the Legion siege teams attempt to retake the Scourge-held fortress of the Dreadfort. With brilliantly engineered weaponry and the precision of the siege teams, the dwarves blast a path for the human infantry to retake the Dreadfort with their very own Commander Borin Grandaxe killing the Harbinger of Conquest.
Battle of Anthos
The Legion backed by the forces of Anthos valiantly defend the gate between Anthos and The Fringe from the coming Scourge before they are pushed back by rising flood waters. Anthos is lost.
Battle of Vengeance
The Legion and forces of the Treaty of Zion participate in an open field battle in the Orcish sands against the Orenian forces.. After the magic of the realm failing and many persons being teleported across the realm and the Zionists dominate the remaining human forces.
Battle of Mt. Augustus
The Legion and its allies siege the fortress of Mt. Augustus. They eventually retreat under the onslaught of their forces.
Battle of the Red Realm
The forces of Anthos, led by the Legion and the Golden Lance (Guild) push several offenses into the realm of Setherian. In the final offensive the legion siege weaponry is used to destroy the Harbinger’s Tower. At the climax of the battle, Setherian breaks his way into the mortal realm and the Golden Lance (Guild), using a special ballista built by Lord Protector Zahrer Irongrinder, destroy him.
Battle of Hiebenhall
The forces of the dwarven legion defended the Irongut hold of Hiebenhall against the Kingdom of Oren. The fort was unable to be breached because of its strategic location and the might of the dwarven crossbowmen who kept the human forces at bay. Orenian forces eventually retreated for their inability to conquer the hold and their massive loss of numbers.
Battle of the Grass
Nearing the end of a bloody war, Grand Marshal Jorik Grandaxe and Grand King Balek Irongut led the first defense of their homeland against an Orcish Horde. With overwhelming numerical superiority, the forces of Urguan forsook their keep and charged the horde head on slaughtering all who sought to endanger their people. The battle marked the end of the war and a lasting peace for the people of Urguan.
Battle of Kal’Ordholm
During the peak of the 18 years war, the dwarves had been driven from the isle of Avar and were fighting back on the mainland. After sustaining significant losses in each of the battles on Avar, the dwarves’ morale was faltering. The Empire of Oren sought to claim the Fort of Kal’Ordholm on the coast of the mainland. Grand Marshal Jorik returned from his injuries and took command at the fort. With the help of allies from Vandoria and Dunamis, the dwarves held a staunch defense and, under the lead of the Grand Marshal, charged out eliminating the remaining attackers and forcing the Empire out of Urguan lands. This battle is cited as a key turning point in the war and caused the Empire to entirely rethink their method of attack.
Battle of Fort Dunamis
After the brutal loss at the Battle of Kal’Ordholm, the Empire of Oren shifted its fronts to attack the stronghold of the dwarves’ trusted allies at Dunamis. Dunamis fort was then defended by the Legion, Orcs, and Dunamis. In a surprise attack, the defending forces sallied out from the keep surrounding the Orenian forces and absolutely decimating them on the field. In the fighting, the Emperor of Oren was killed and the war quickly came to a close.

Grunt
A grunt is a recruit and initiate in the Legion. Any dwarf is liable to be a Grunt, however as a grunt their powers are limited and restricted. They are given most of the duties within the legion.
Duties
Duties are tasks given to Legionaries of all ranks (including commander). Duties are to be handled by the Officers of the legion.
Guard Duty
The Duty of Guarding is a crucial role within the capitol, Militants within the Legion are expected to serve for one Dwarven year with pay to protect the Hold and may after obtain more pay by doing more guard work.
Gate management
Is the duty in which a Legionnaire is to protect the mighty stone gate way of the capitol, during this time it is his or her goal to open and close the gates depending on whom is requesting entry, there are two types of phrases a Guard must adhere to when challenging someone who wishes entry and a list of features a person may bear that will not allow them access.
The “challenge” Phrases:
“Remove aneh koinds o’ coverin’ articles”
“W’o be ye?”
“Wut duh ye wunt in da city?”
"Wut weapons duh ye 'ave?"
Continuing the “challenge”:
If the figure requesting entrance of the Hold has any of the following features he is to be denied entrance to the city unless stated otherwise by an official from the Grand Council,
clothing; Hoods, Helmets, Masks, Goggles, and other forms of face covering articles.
appearance; Bone like structure, lacking flesh on “his or her” bones, glowing eyes, and scale like hides. Armour is to be removed before entering the city.
Patrol
Patrolling is vital to the Hold’s well being be it either tunnel clearances, when a guard goes into the deep mines and disposes of creeps and critters who may harm the miners, or doing surface checks where the militant will do tasks similar to the tunnel clearance but on the surface.. Any peculiar sightings are to be reported to the Legion Commander for further inspection. Or legionnaires may also patrol the dwarven lands in signs of anything out of the norm or just to protect the Grand Kingdom’s borders.
Tunnel Clearing
A guard is to travel deep into the caves of the dwarven lands where he or she will patrol and examine tunnels slaying beasts whom challenge the well being of the miners, other duties during this time include the lighting of tunnels and the reports of collapses, or peculiar holes.
Surface Checks
The Guard is to wander about the perimeter of the capitol where he or she will be charged with examining the wall that protects the Hold’s border as well as slay any critters who threaten travelers, any peculiar sightings such as wall breaks, mysterious structures, or orc presence, is to be reported.

Couriers are sent around the Kingdom delivering notices to the most prominent members and leaders of dwarf society.
The notices read:
"It is in the best interest of the Kingdom that we assess the situation at hand. It is then requested your presence be seen on this stone day just as the sun reaches a low point on the sky. Senators, Clan members, and Legionnaires are all implored to attend. Apologies for the short notice and the hope is for your attendance."
The notices end abruptly with a signature of the Grand Marshal and the seal off the Grand Kingdom
