Tir na nOg Battle: April 30 - May 2, 2010 - this is a battle put on by a unit in Anvard, and it'll be held somewhere in the Glens Falls area. It's a campout with no facilities, so maybe we day-trip this one.

A Game of Thrones: May 23th, 2010 - This is a full day of fighting at Ellison Park. There's likely to be a cookout after this event. This is also the pre-Ragnarok Winterfell event.

A Storm of Swords: September 12th (or 19th), 2010 - We'll head back to the woods in Ellison Park for a full day of fighting. If possible, we'll arrange for a vehicle to be able to move gear back to the woods so people don't have to cart it all back and forth.

 

Badon Hill V: September 23-26 - Pioneer Park Campground in Somerset, PA

 

A Clash of Kings: October 8th-10th(11th?), 2010 - The annual weekend event for Winterfell. As Columbus Day is Monday, perhaps we'll see about making this a Friday-to-Monday event. Lots of fighting. Feast. Woods battles. Bridge Battle.

 

A Dance with Dragons: November 14th, 2010 - Thinking possibly a large-field/woods old-school style capture the flag game in Greece Canal Park.

 

Great Turkey War: November 20th, 2010 - Lostwithiel event and feast at the UU Church in Utica.

 

 

 

Aaaaaaaand.... that's it for now. More to come once groups start posting up their stuff. Plan on Brushwoods, 1-2 Tartarus Invictus events, Badon Hill, and whatever Lostwithiel comes up with locally. I think we can skip the field trips to Taurendor and Novi Antiqui this year, but we oughtta go visit Anvard once or twice.

So Dave, I'll be back in NY starting in Jan. What do I need to do to get in on this?

 

What kind of fighter do you guys need?

[hivemind 0]

You need to wear black and show up. We'll figure out where you fit in after that. Most of us fill two roles now, a primary and a secondary, depending on organizational needs that day. Like, I prefer to shoot people in the face now, but I'll go on the shield wall if needed, and if that's not needed I'll crush people with my halberd.

[Kender 0]

I have two roles.

 

I hit people with my sword

 

and I block for the spearmen.

Thanks to the retards who run NoobieCon, we are double-booked for that day.

 

UBCon is a much bigger event, probably 60 people or so. We get to fight Narnia, Rome, Selinor, etc.

 

NoobieCon is local, we might get some recruits out of it, and there's also a KoN fighter practice there.

 

Show of hands, who wants to to NoobieCon, and who wants to drive to Buffalo for UBCon.

[DEAD SEXY 0]

We decided on a booth for Noobiecon only, but their is a dag demo.

[DEAD SEXY 0]

So i will be unable to attend Tir na nOg Battle because of tennis regionals. you guys have fun though. I hear it is going to be a good amount of people going.

[hivemind 0]

I also can't attend; Diana's due on the 27th.

[hivemind 0]

The date for A Game of Thrones has been pushed back a week; the new date is reflected above.

[Vicious the Jester 0]

Thanks for posting this. I hope this doesn't make it so people are less able to make it. We're hoping for a whopping good turnout.

[hivemind 0]

July 11! Who is going?

[Wargrasa 0]

I'll be there, assuming I can get a lift like last time. I know some of the auburn guys are gonna go, so I will of course try to get a lift from them first.

[Sir Mirelle of Narnia 0]

The T.I. Event got moved to the 14th of August.

[hivemind 0]

Reminder: this Sunday there is a Winterfell event in Rochester.

[Vicious the Jester 0]

The Winterfell event this month got canceled due to lack of interest. It would have ended up being the Legion fighting 3 people from Rochester. Sorry. I thought that was well known. I announced the intention of the November event at Clash of Kings and everyone sounded very disinterested.

 

For the record, the game was going to be large-scale capture the flag, all day long.

 

You guys are more than welcome to come out and roll the practice. It would be nice to have more veterans out for a change... but I understand it's a long drive to go to a practice.

[Octavius 0]

It's to far for a daytrip from Albany. I'll be visiting my parents anyway this weekend.

[hivemind 0]

If the weather's nice, I'll come out.

[DEAD SEXY 0]

so we are going to the turkey fest thing and not the buffalo thing right?

[hivemind 0]

What Buffalo thing?

November - Battle of the Bandit King

 

When: Due to a prior obligation on our first date of choice, we will be running this battle on November 20th. We understand this conflicts with Turkey War, but don't have much choice in the matter. If this results in lower attendance for this event, it's understood. If this happens to draw attendance away from Turkey War, we apologize in advance.

 

Where: Hamburg Community Center, Park area next to the Center itself.

 

Schedule: Weapons check will start at eleven, with fighting to start at approx. noon.

 

Battles - We'll be looking to run themed versions of the following battles. Vague descriptions below, full story @ the battle. That way, if weather kills us, we can keep our awesome story for another time.

 

- Knights vs Peasants - Everyone will get a chance to experience the battle from both sides, so we'll be running this multiple times. There are some special circumstances involved, so this won't be everyone just taking turns on their knees. Mostly.

 

- Objective Capture - Similar to a Capture the Flag, except with buildings. This will be a two team, timed battle. Both teams will get a chance to try their hand at stealing stuff.

 

- Altered Bridge Battle - Two team bridge battle, with some twists. Get in a tight spot and you'll slow everyone down. Both teams will get a turn at being a speedbump.

 

- King Battle - There will be Kings. Kill one and hope he's the real one and not a decoy. He's a devious one, he is...

 

Additional battles in-between, but these are the ones we'll definitely run (time allowing). We'll also have some warmup battles etc, standard battle stuff.

 

 

Just saying though, go to the Turkey War, we didn't wanna compete with it on dates and attendance.

[DEAD SEXY 0]

that one

[hivemind 0]

What's everyone else want to do?

[Kender 0]

I'd rather drive 20 minutes than three hours.

 

Plus I have a vague sense of owing them a visit since they came to KoN.

[hivemind 0]

I'm also in favor of the Turkey War.

[Richard 0]

I'll come to Turkey War, and try to drag folk out there.
