Hello Haven! An idea is being disscussed on the Midwest boards that I hoped to get your input on.

Imagine a map of units in the midwest that changes as battles at events are won or lost. the disscussion on the mid west boards can be found
HERE .

I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread here so that the discussion can include as many brilliant minds as possible. LOL

Feed back from individuals/units/realms is very appreciated. Hoping to get something off the ground. At this point the idea of running a small full RP event using a later version of these rules is possible.

wow that looks great! i think its a cool idea, and possible could be used for the whole u.s. if adopted by everyone of course, that way you could see where dagorhir is more concentrated

I think it would definitely be fun to have an RP event run around something like this. (:

This seems like a pretty sweet idea. I like the idea of battling for territories and stuff. Smaller realms might have a problem gaining strength, but they could form alliances with other realms and stuff. It would be cool

I do like the idea of having terrain and such, though I wouldn't like "battling for territory" if people got really intense about it.

"Intense" Is fun it provides Incentive

DOES LIKE!

I also added the basic rules of what I think the game should be like, go take a look and see what you think.

I will Leave it up to the rest of the clan to decide for us. I don't see it as something that I as the wise son should have the final say on.

I like it! It gives Logar a logical way to Expunge humans !!!!! And for Ephraim to get lost.... maybe... If I don't kill him

I guess the maturity I'm referring to here has to do with honor and not being a jerk on the field. There are regrettably a number of people out there who we all know don't take hits, and who we all know like to pick fights about shots, etc. Those are the only people with the potential to spoil something fun like this. And you have people like that in every sport, which is why I think it's a manageable problem (otherwise no one would play competitive sports of any kind), but it's still likely to be a problem. It might be good to have a way of controlling an issue if it got out of hand ahead of time because of that fact just as a precaution.

Nah I don't think it's going to be an issue. Only people who are interested in coming out to an event with these rules/battles is going to want to come out.

How about some map info. I's like to work on a whole map that joins the midwest realms together. Any input on what you consider Haven to look like map wise? Like terrain and anything I'd need to make apparent for the realm's portion of the map?

I think the biggest question about the map is the location of the realms. Haven is spread out between Rolla and Blue Springs. Maybe the two sections could appear as one on a map?

Is the map a direct representation of actual geography? If it isn't, then Haven could still just be one place, since our realm's story is that of one area, not two.

We actually were playing around with a map of our own realm a while back. I think it might be in creative release. I don't know that anything was ever actually agreed upon, since it was mostly done for fun, but that might be a nice reference for what we look like anyhow.

we had a coast line in our map and forests and mountains...basically every kind of terrain so that we could all fit our back storys in. all these mountains and forests and whatnot surrounded a plain that the center city of haven was built upon. so that's my request i guess, lol although i think we should do away with the water, and maybe have a lake instead....if that works with your map (not sure how realistic you are going for )
