I was wondering what sort of Enemies we can hope to encounter during the course of the battles? Will Arilin, with its rangers and druids call animals to the fight on their side? And will Harabec, with their superior army, have all sorts of knights and soldiers fighting the monsters of Arilin?
Also, will there be any surprise visitors that will take advantage of the war?
(ie. a monster kills the king during a battle, or a dragon burns Arilin to the ground.) (the dragon was just the first thing that came to mind)
Also, will players be able to try to find the people who instigated the war?


Just some questions I had about the announcement.

......
Or will all the monsters sit on a square waiting to die, or follow someone running around for a couple squares, and then respawn?
Or will all the as of yet unseen armies of the cities continue to hide and do absolutely nothing as we all go about killing monsters who never invade the cities and then let the respawn and kill them again?
Ah the drama.

[Bean]

Pwent, drop the attitude buddy, we dont need that nuts here.

[Zelimos]

firstly, i don't even know where the hell Harabec is. haha

Anyway, Arilin all the way...

[Raylen]

Harabec will totally pwn Arilin, i'm joining them for the potential chance of looting a certain clan house that may be located in the town of Arilin

im thinking about joining arilin it sounds soo much cool being a mercenary

[Malavon]

Yea makes sense....two towns fighting against eachother...what happened to race vs race?

Eh? What do you mean, it makes no sense? Sure it does. Humans are always killing each other... if you actually payed attention to the real world you would know that.

Anyway, it looks like a good idea. Pity I don't have any characters to use

[Malavon]

First off, i don't know if you noticed but not every crit is human...

What difference does that make? The HUMAN towns are fighting. None of the other races matter.

Also in every fantasy book or whatever race battles against race (orcs vs human etc). Doesn't make sense with so much danger lurking everywhere that 2 towns will battle against eachother, while the goblins are stealing your babies.

No. Don't say 'every fantasy book' when that isn't true. One thing that annoys me is people making up facts to help prove them right. It may not make much sense, but I have read it happen quite a few times.

[Stotic]

You've been ill informed. In simple terms, those who join up with one city will fight the other city.

[Chewbob]

What if there are tons more people on one team?

[Charon]

What if there are tons more people on one team?

Then one would presume that the smaller team will lose ^^

Unless the smaller team is either more skilled and/or of higher levels.
Or the smaller team has better team and 'help my teammate' skills
A large team... won't necessarily have an advantage if they can't work together.

[Stotic]

You'll be further informed about those details come Saturday.

[Kalypso]

Don't worry so much, the teams will be even.


Meanwhile do what Stotic said..wait till Saturday for further instructions.

[Squee]

Squee shook his head violently, letting his robe billow with a distinct sound.

"Stop it! Aw of you!" he shouted as loud as his tiny lungs would allow. He threw his staff to the ground, pulled the hood off his dressings and stared up with his child-like eyes.

"Stwop fwighting! ...You can't doo this! It's not wright! It dwoesn't matter what happened! Peopwel will be whort and killed! You havta stwop!" he cried out, his voice cracking and tears welling in his eyes.

Squee knew what was going on and it pained him to no extent.

[Oasis]

Im excited =) Finally something non-boring happening in nightmist what has it all came too!

Go Stotic you da man!

[Exor]

oh that figures.a quest when i cant log on nm :@

[Fossae]

I dunno if this will be explained but what will happen to the losing side? Will the town be destroyed like Jahanna or will the loser just be put under the winners claim?

[Stotic]

If you think I'm about to put my latest wonderful construction (Harabec) into a group of players' hands then you have yourself fooled! You'll see what "goes down."

[Zelimos]

You'll see what "goes down."

Ahem

[Zelimos]

since Zephie became staff, nothing has ever been boring. lots of gold, free items, etc, and not to mention those free crits she gave me... wait... that was all a dream, sorry... carry on

So.. Stotic will be fighting for Harabec..

I got a game plan, Stotic goes in, kills everyone. We all follow 5 grids behind, grabbing what we can.

Go team Harabec!

i'm not playing anymore, give me the ball....

[Deval]

Nothin like suiting of up for the old school. (Considering I can be on. Knowing Nightmist I'll most likely be asleep )

With a swagger and a grin Deval boastfully makes a show of his Blade of Time. Sheathing his blade he reaches for a shining helm to his right, adorned with two horns curving backwards across the surface of the helm, bearing the insignia of Arilin affixed to the front of the Helm above the brow. As his eyes flare red for an instant he chuckles,

"D'Monis never did mind a bit of merciless slaughter."

So, Stotic, you are saying that only people will be fighting? I am just wondering if The players will have any say in what happens; or have you already planned it out and this war is just one big scam to try to make people lose EXP?!?!? If so, (exlpetive deleted) you for just being a two-bit scam artist with no goal in life but to sit in front of a computer and ROT!!!!! and to see others do the same.
I will only support the war if it meets certain criteria.

1. A war lasts for more than one day, so should this one.
2. There should be creatures taking part in the war, as any fantasy book reader will tell you, there are always creatures in Fantasy wars.
3. There should be a way to stop the war from continuing to its (guaranteed sad) ending.
