Hello all. I am writing this as a reference for all to see, apparently. For those who do not know, Ghannima and myself are to do battle. Originally, it was to be a 1v1 WoW type fight. However, the news has gotten out and lots of people wish to join the fray. I, for one, am eager to participate in such a battle with large groups involved. It will be one huge war in a battle to protect just two walls, nobody loses a city or gets knocked out of the game. In a nutshell, it can simply come to be a friendly multi-alliance war (excluding BL, since our cities are in Elgea). So with that said, I would ask that alliance leaders and DEVs take a look at this and give me their thoughts if not support.

The reason as to why I set up this post, as aforementioned, is to gain the support as well as wisdom of the alliance leaders and the DEVs on the following conditions of the War Games:

1.  Each participating alliance are to wager 100 million in gold as an entry fee. This gold will be transeferred to a Neutral and trusted alliance or player for safe keeping, to prevent anyone trying to skip out on their wager and to keep any one participating alliance from taking it all and doing what they will. The grand total will be presented to the winning side of the War Games and split up fairly amongst the alliances forming that particular team.

2. I ask that the DEVs make a medal or some type of award for the winning team. This is totally up for discussion, for I know that this is a huge request and perhaps I presume a little too much.

3. Each team should have a temporary alliance set up to have direct contact with their respective teammates. I do believe it will be hard to command all those armies through individual mailing and such.

Star Do note that I am not asking anyone to commit their full army. Ghannima and I, hopefully with the help of the many others, will set a limit on the number of troops per person. Also, none of these conditions are set in stone and are up for negotiations. I believe that is all, for now.

I'll agree to be the Neutral Third Party and hold the gold for you as I will not be participating in the War Games.

Is there a time frame for completion of the game? I think many would be hesitant to leave their alliances for too long a period of time even if it is for a fun fight.

That is a very good question and it is one we have been working on since this morning. I will discuss it again tonight and then update the post with the time limit and troop limit. Also there will be a deadline on sign ups. Once we close, that is it. We will then proceed to separate participants into the two teams. I understand that nobody will want a drawn out fight and we have not one but two holidays coming up. I expect the fight itself to last no more than a week and half to two weeks, this includes landing times for the troops of the participants.  Do remember that the battle is simply a WoW between two cities not each and every city we have.

Great Job NoneTooBright!

Alliance members can stay in the alliance and have a role of WAR GAMES Player, so no need for them to moved out from the alliance.

Myr and Skint can be one of the Neutral Director for these WAR GAME.. 

Good job NTB.

Hmm, I'll talk this over with Myr and Skint. Personally, I still think we will need direct contact. Maybe, it can work that way as well, though. It will be too much work to mail every single alliance leader or whomever to get orders across. Still, one cannot turn away a good suggestion without thinking on it. If anyone else has any suggestions, please speak up. I won't know what anyone wants, unless they tell me. Thanks!

StarUpdateStar:
Troop Limit:
20k troops per account

Starting Time:
Recruitment for the War Games will close on Nov. 21 00:00:00 GMT////Due to Thanksgiving being in the following week after recruitment closes, we have decided to use that week to sort out the teams. The War Games will begin Nov. 28 00:00:00 GMT

The Wager:
The 100m gold entry fee has been dropped. It is understood that not every alliance willing to participate can afford this amount. We thought it would be a decent reward for the winners, but the amount is simply too much.

BL:
Attention, all people of the BL who are willing and able  to participate are welcome to join the War Games.
