I love this idea...for orcs and elfs you think alright.. i think..since the darkies are running the show here, you should use like ears for event tokens of somethinkg along those lines. i like the way rag does it but if the darkies are going to throw a shin-dig like this.DO IT RIGHT... as for the time i like it when its cold out side..you cant feel anything and armor helps to keep you warm but at the same time shots sometimes hurt more... plus weapons usually break quicker in colder climite....ya sure i do see the reason of why holding it in a colder time but i disagree with december...but it seems like the only time... and if so maybe move it south a little bit...like arizona, amtgard hold their battles there plus in a desert a winter cold is a warm day n colorado. I dont care if you all hate what i got to say i would show up to this we NEED events on the west side of the country.... i like sluge wars as a name

I think October would be preferable. It's not actually all "darkies" running the event. Sven is a... Viking, (I think.)
A little Orc face might be cool for the tokens. One with big tusks. Or something relating to one of our battle scenarios. Does anyone have battle scenerio idea's ?

Or something relating to one of our battle scenarios. Does anyone have battle scenerio idea's ? If we went for early October & either Eastern Nevada or Sothern Utah I think we might be safe. Where as Snow Wars would be great, I think we would attract a bigger crowd & one that could be friendlier if we weren't fighting inclement or inhospitable weather. Yes, I am a VikingR to the bone. I was caught showing my age when I saw the term "Darkies" & was taken aghast & surprised. It had a much different meaning in my youth. Silly me. Am I correct in that you mean Orcs & drows? As to the token, if some one can model an orc-face on a simple 1" circle (in relief & not very thick) using femo clay, I can cast it in pewter. We can do a limited run & do 1st come 1st serve for them! Lead free pewter (B7-Britannia metal) is running about $4.00/pound plus shipping. Here's a couple scenarios. Orcs vs Rangers: Depending on the number of people have 2 rangers per 8 to 20 orcs, or we could do small teams. The course is open country with about a 1/2 mile run. Rangers get whatever weaponry they want, Orcs get a single weapon (usually blue). Orcs also get a resurection point. The Ranger team has to get one person from the starting point to the "camp" about 1/2 mile away. This is also a great night battle scenario & use lightsticks on the arrows. Escape from Moria: A nine man team, 4 hobbits with daggers (or shortswords), a stumpy with axe & shield, an Elf with bow- arrow & sword, a humie with sword-&-board, a humie with what-ever they want, a humie carrying one blue weapon & a stash of javelins or a staff, plus he has healing capability. They have to make it thru a course of pockets of resistance like an orc-horde, 5 people roped together into a troll that can only be killed at the heart, a bridge battle, etc. Orcs running the guantlet: similar to the above, but open weaponry where the orcs have to run thru a series of encounters with "mounted Rohirrim" (mounted on feet, foot soldiers on knees), A horde of bow armed rangers & elves, breaking a shield-wall of Numenorians, etc.

Ok, after much verbage but little action, I was feeling beaten up about this topic that I've been pushing for over 4 years, & frankly I'm a little However Kyrax has moved to the San Fransisco Bay Area & we're conspiring with Crynolint to get this going. It's time for people to jump on the bandwagon! We're considering either the East SF Bay area which is centrally located coastally but also withing striking distance of Colorado & other Western realms. Another option is in the Las Vegas area if Dwyna can help coordinate. September sounds like a good time. Sing out people & volunteer in what ever way you can to help get this going. We need people who are willing to bring people out if nothing else or to be there & sponsor a competition or teach a class. Step up to the line folks! Let's really make this happen. manga takk, Sven

I guess this is where I officially whine about wanting something a little closer to the Pacific Northwest. <whine> I've been rolling around an idea for sometime now & shared it with Kyrax today of having Niffhel War (Fog-hell War) for all the Left coast folks of California, Oregon, Washington, & BC. Now that Kyrax is starting a group in S.F. It makes it a reasonable proposition for it to be in that area. My original proposal was for it to be in a campsite along the central coast near Lompoc / Solvang / Lake Cachuma but the bay area could work better. The suggestion for Las Vegas was because it is not an unreasonable drive distance (& in many case less than some Easterners do for Rag) for all the Western states. Additionally, there are a broad selection of campsites, a major airport, hotels for the non-camping, & other amenities. Also there is a local realm that can co-ordinate the event which is a major hurdle if there's no one local. Where as the distance from Aggelgorod is shorter than from Seattle, the drive time is as long for us considering the halted road construction & massive traffic jams. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts. manga takk, Sven

Well, after looking at where the Dagorhir chapters are in the West (very few up in the NorthWest here) I'll have to give up on hoping for others to organize an event closer to me.
If given enough lead time (have to plan vacations at work) and enough incentive (large enough numbers of people to fight against) it could be very feasible to organize several of us from up here to go (hell, we've got 5-6 of us going to Rag...and that is WAY further away...but large enought to be worth it)
On another note...the Belegarth groups in the Pacific Northwest are making noises about having an event out in the Portland(ish), Oregon area.

I work with what I can. Maybe you guys can organize an event & the rest of us will try to come. I've got a bunch of local events going down here & am trying to get a major event going for the Western folks. I could hardly organize an event that's a 24 hour drive away for me in an area that I don't know at all let alone parks. I will support you in any way I can if you decide to hold a regional event. Since previously no-one has stepped up to the plate, I'm doing what I can. I've got one regional event going so far in the ScanFest & Viking Encampment. Now I'm trying to put together a broader one with the aid of some local folks to that area. That means either Kyrax (San Fran) or Dwyna (Las Vegas). Maybe the answer is two events a spring coastal War & an Autumn Western War. WE (not just ME) need to get something going & we can always improve it & expand it. I'm asking for help.

You and Kyrax would be the best ones to decide where it should be. ( I'd love an excuse to visit Northern California, but Las Vegas may draw numbers on the tourist factor ) I volunteer for lots of troll duty & heralding. Taking pictures too. And I'd like to coordinate a women's circle at some point in the event. (Now taking applications for topless male cocktail servers )

Women's circle it is & I'll gladly serve cocktails for you & I'm sure you'll reciprocate the same way for the Men's circle.

but Fair is Fair! If I have to, then.... LOL. Just kidding. Personally, my naked torso would probably have all the women going LOL. You probably will be all shallow FCP's & want some hot young thing with no brain. Just kidding. It will all be fun what ever events we arrange. take care of yourself, Sven
