War Games-A Player Run Tournament

They should be chosen carefully. You complain about troop size?? go ask gragnog for a pvp for sure he will not take down your offer..

well exept he man and ditto i will gladly pvp anyone

The time for deciding whether you want to join or not is over at Nov. 21 00:00:00 GMT. Mail either Ghannima or myself for invites to alliance

As a derided warmonger, I must admit that I love this idea and I applaud the effort to keep it at a scale that allows smaller players to participate. It is the smaller ones who are likely to have little to no experience in Illy PvP and I am so happy to see this going forward.

Since this is to be a WoW based tourney, once sieges land it will end quickly due to how easily walls tend to fall. It will be difficult to stop a siege in time without a seriously concerted effort. The way this is set up, with one target city on each side, it will be a real test of coordination and the generals have their work cut out for them. Good luck to all participants.

Everything has been established now, I believe. Everything except who actually wants to participate. With that said, I say this:
All who wish to join this endeavor should immediately begin posting here in the forums or mailing either Ghannima or myself(I would prefer in-game mailing). This is so that we can get a good grasp of the number of participants and then proceed to split them into teams. Thank you all for your support
