The Game

(click to show/hide)

Everyone starts alone.
You can attack any enemy adjacent to you.
Anyone you beat joins your team.

Once you have a  team member, you can form a warband.
Warbands can attack anyone adjacent it's members.
Anyone your warband beats will join your team as part of your warband.
 
Once you have more than four team members, you can organize multiple warbands.
Maximum size for a warband is 4.
Each warband requires a team leader or a captain assigned by the team leader.
All team members of a warband must be connected on the map through the territory of allies.
Warbands can attack anyone adjacent to their members.
Any warbands that your warbands beat, will join your team.

If a team leader loses, they lose control of their team, and join the team that beat them.
If a team leader loses, warband captains on that team become team leaders of their warbands.

The game is won when all players belong to one team.
The winner is the person who leads that team.

If a warband is missing two or more players, they may pick a person to play on their team.
The person they pick can't be from the other team.

[Captain Lust]

I think you might need to provide more information on the format. I don't really understand how this is going to work, based on what you've posted there.

[bajatmerc]

Could you state a question, because I am not sure what is not clear?

I mean I am taking stabs at trying to clarify it.

[Captain Lust]

Could you state a question, because I am not sure what is not clear?

Well to be honest... none of it is clear. I mean what does having a flag do? for instance.

It says "each week a match will be played". How will matchups be decided? I mean the whole groups, teams and flags thing isn't clear at all. I'm not sure about what any of those things mean in the context of the campaign.

EDIT: OK I sort of get the idea now that you've posted the summary. Could be interesting.

[bajatmerc]

Yah, I am tweaking it here and there. The flags are mainly to make the map look really cool so we can see how the teams shifted around over time.

I got a copy of Warband for the prize. Everybody knows somebody they want to play this game with.

[Fehnor]

This looks like a very fun idea! I imagine an army of 128 is going to be sitting around for a long time waiting for a challenger

[bajatmerc]

? groups of 8 are the max per match.

[Fehnor]

This is what happens when I skim. 

[Juvenile]

Khergits are a viable faction. Interesting.

It also may become very difficult to organize communication once the groups grow. (Teamspeak, ventrilo, etc.)

In any case, this does sound very neat, so I might as well sign up

Vaegirs : Bhulaban : Balion_Merc_Juvenile

[Eternal]

Nord: Rizi: Eternal

sounds interesting

[KissMyAxe]

What impact do the starting location and faction have? Can you have players of different factions on the same team?

[Shemaforash]

Anyone that wants to play in this event on intercontinental US servers.

Meh

[bajatmerc]

It also may become very difficult to organize communication once the groups grow. (Teamspeak, ventrilo, etc.)

That is the plan. It's like a big mixer.

What impact do the starting location and faction have? Can you have players of different factions on the same team?

Your faction impacts which faction you can play on the team you are on. The locations are strictly for aesthetics, beside the limit for numbers.

Edited for grammar. I didn't really answer this accurately here. The next post I have has the answer. Like a dummy I simply said that they impact, sorry.

[KissMyAxe]

Your faction impacts which faction you can play on the team you are on.

Care to elaborate?
