BATTLE RESULT
The turnout was superb, the sight of fortified dojo was ominous, and the initial charge was worthy of song
Unfortunately, our referee volunteer suffered from the poor server performance as the clash of steel shook the very foundations of server stability!
At the day's end, both Dojo_ and KoS_ warriors stood firm inside the dojo walls.
Despite the lack of screenshot the leaders of KoS and Dojo, in a tense post-battle meeting, displayed much chivalry in declaring a fair and equitable result: a draw.
GG to all involved

The plan:
Long now have a band of Swadian swordsmen claimed sovereignty over 'The Dojo', a training hall after which they named their guild.
It has fallen to the brave Knights of the South to invade and conquer this territory! With powerful Nordic weapons we have commenced the march towards the Snowy Village...
...Our mighty force will assemble in the village as the Dojo guild prepare their defences, before launching a furious assault on the impenetrable fortress...
By the end of the day the Dojo will be KoS territory!

The Rules:
[list type=decimal]
[*]At 8:00pm (UTC+10 Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney) the KoS will stack the games_on_net Team Deathmatch server and vote in Snowy Village with Nords and Swadians
[*]There will be a 5 minute truce during which all players must refrain from fighting so as to allow the Dojo to make their way to their stronghold
[*]KoS will commence hostilities at any time after the end of the 5 minute truce period.
[*]Whoever has a clear control of the inside of the Dojo stronghold at the end of the map rotation will be deemed the victor
[*]If the stronghold is contested and no clear margin exists, the benefit of the doubt goes to the defenders and the Dojo will maintain control of the stronghold
[*](New) For KoS to have a 'clear margin' of attackers to defenders and thus a 'clear control' of the inside of the dojo, they must have greater than 2 soldiers for each Dojo_ soldier.[/list]
Details and Clarification:
- (New) No Dojo members are allowed to join the Nord faction. No KoS members are allowed to join the Swadian faction.
- (New) Joining spectators is permitted
- Time and date is Monday 11th at 8:00pm.
- As soon as we've got the map and factions up and running I will announce the truce and start the timer. I will keep both teams informed as to when the timer will run out
- This will be a partially organised attack which will then degenerate into a TDM slugfest. However there will of course be strong incentives for players to converge of the stronghold and this ought to make the fight interesting
- At this stage we've no means of password protecting a server, so all random players will be considered welcome mercenaries and their shenanigans will be endured within reason should they not conform with the RP-nature of the fight
- If the Dojo do not manage to scramble enough players to adequately defend their building: they will simply lose it. War is hell.
Nah but don't worry man, myself and NN are working on a campaign with territorial conquest. NN posted a hex map in the Oceanic thread you should take a look at. For now the current event is simply an exhibition match but we'd be keen to take you on onboard with your ideas to help us out.
