Just to let everyone know, there will be a concessions stand at Gates.

3BQ-Badzy's Badass BBQ(Thanks for the name, Boudhicca

)

BBQ Brisket and Pulled Pork Sammiches

Both with homemade sauce and pickles of course.

Some of the other things we will be serving:
Bottled Water

Granola Bars
Rice Krispy Treats,
Chips of multiple varieties.

Plus, whatever we have left on Sunday will be available to nurse those godawful hangovers that my buddies in the poisoner's guild may give you Saturday night. Bring your family, friends, and enemies(extra charge for Arsenic.) See you guys at Gates!

So Niall, as Bloodfang Petitioners still, both of us would probably qualify as pages and squires.
That could be FUN =D

I don't know if being a BFR petitioner would qualify you for this. As I understand it, and I could be and probably am wrong, there is a sort of unofficial knighting system that exists within the game. You would have to page and squire to a Dagorhir Knight, not just be a squire/page/petitioner of your respective realm/units.

But like I said, I could be and probably am wrong. If I am, then I see no reason why all you petitioners shouldn't get a crack at some fun. Especially since your Trials are not going to be.

Haha. Ok. =P

Bear · « **Reply #713 on:** March 27, 2011, 03:27:23 am »

Thank you Kurai that's exactly what I meant.....between all the fun Skaytha, myself, and pretty much whoever else decides to chime in, the petitioner trials will be as intense as we can possibly make them

Kurai · « **Reply #714 on:** March 27, 2011, 03:33:48 am »

Can I help? I do so love making life hard for others.

Bear · « **Reply #715 on:** March 27, 2011, 03:41:09 am »

I got no problem with it. Might check with Skaytha since shes "in charge" of them but I'm pretty sure I remember her talking about getting some outside fighters i.e. Skeith, yourself, and others to offer their services.

Orrin None-son · « **Reply #716 on:** March 27, 2011, 10:23:20 pm »

There is no Game wide knighthood.

And as I understand the page/squire hunt, it is anyone of that approximate title/level/rank. But, Fafnir or some other Dominion-ite should come along and correct this shortly.

Skeith, the Forsaken · « **Reply #717 on:** March 28, 2011, 01:24:25 am »

Honestly if you guys want the truth, most people pack up and leave sunday. So more than likely this whole conversation about a hunt doesn't matter. heh It's more of a Dominion thang.

Azgarehta · « **Reply #718 on:** March 28, 2011, 04:54:46 am »

Heh, Team Gates Grapple Go can probably partake in some squire trials. I'm sure they'd love some good old gang mob grappling.

Squire Ducky McFeelgood · « **Reply #719 on:** March 28, 2011, 09:21:50 am »

As a squire, this is all very confusing.

Azgarehta · « **Reply #720 on:** March 28, 2011, 11:37:31 am »

Don't you knightly people exist to bring order to chaos? Get to it, sandwich maker!

Squire Ducky McFeelgood · « **Reply #721 on:** March 28, 2011, 10:07:48 pm »

HEY! I don't work for Burger King anymore. Im a pizza maker now!

And yes. We generally try to bring order to chaos. So i guess Im being hunted in the woods. I pity the fools.

Azgarehta · « **Reply #722 on:** March 28, 2011, 10:18:28 pm »

And Oberon Joins Team Gates Grapple!

Ducky, we're going to need all the squires and those hunting them to get together right before the hunting. Just so we know who's playing and who's just walking casually to the BBQ. It just wouldn't be polite for Team Gates Grapple to mistake an innocent bystander for a squire and dogpile them errantly.

Squire Ducky McFeelgood · « **Reply #723 on:** March 28, 2011, 10:38:55 pm »

wait, i thought the squires were in the woods, and we were being hunted by the rest? confused....

Dreiyan Duvalier · « **Reply #724 on:** March 28, 2011, 11:31:11 pm »

@ the Fangs running the trials: I can't wait to prove myself >

If you guys actually organise the hunt to happen, just make all the Squires wear some arm/head band that indicates them as such. Preferably a bright color. Trying to guess who's who/ smacking innocents = no bueno

...So this supposed "Hunt" is to happen on the last day of the event? Then I will regretfully not be participating, as every other Bloodfang Petitioners will not be either...*cough* for obvious reasons. Though I may be making false assumptions here. Hey Bear, do our Trials facilitate multiple Petitioners at once or are the Trials devoted to one Petitioner at a time?

Azgarehta · « **Reply #725 on:** March 29, 2011, 01:27:58 am »

Yeah, Ducky. Squires = woods. But if we don't know who the squires are, we can't hunt them properly. You can't just pick up a sword and go running into the woods and expect people to know when to hunt you. You have to PLAN things. Only when you are a true Jedi Knight are you able to host events in your own mind that people supposedly know about.

Bear · « **Reply #726 on:** March 29, 2011, 06:47:56 am »

At this point, I'm not sure. I haven't talked to Skaytha about it here in a while. However, as per the last we spoke on it, Each participating Elder/Anyone else who offers to cause pain will come up with their own test that each petitioner will have to pass. What those tests will be, I do not know, and the plans themselves are very likely to change between now and then

Niall · « **Reply #727 on:** March 29, 2011, 10:33:16 am »

I'm excited for my trails under the bloodfangs but sadly gates is only my 2nd we with them. I'll have to wait til rag to be tried

Baron Fafnir · « **Reply #728 on:** March 29, 2011, 09:22:42 pm »

Ok, I didn't think it was terribly complicated (The Page and Squire Hunt) but I guess some folks have gotten confused, so let me try to clarify some more on my prior post.

If you are (Within your realm, personally, whatever reason) a "Page or Squire" you end up on one team. As Orrin stated there is no game-wide knighthood, so really there's no qualifications to be on the Page/Squire team beyond having the name/job title in your realm. This team has no resurrections and is sent out into the woods from the Sacred Grove and given approximately a 5 minute head start. After that time, EVERYONE ELSE (Up to and including any "Knights") that wishes to participate, goes after the Pages and Squires. This team has unlimited resurrections until all the Pages/Squires are eliminated, time runs out, or they get bored and want to go pack up camp.

There is no obligation to fight, camps that are still in use are off-limits (Unless a group wants to allow fighting in camp), and there is no real "prize" for anything. It's just a fun woods battle to end the event on, and has been a blast every time I participated.

Hopefully that clears up questions.

Any word on the possibility of Troll opening earlier on Thursday? Also, if finding someone to do it earlier is the problem I'm sure I could find a couple of volunteers.

Skeith, the Forsaken · « **Reply #730 on:** March 30, 2011, 11:33:11 am »

I agree with Chongo. 5PM is a little late for a 4 day event to open. Do we have any means of opening early?

Lady Krystal · « **Reply #731 on:** March 30, 2011, 12:44:08 pm »

I could, in all likelihood, be there by 2pm.. but I'm not DUS or part of troll - so I doubt my help is helpful

But my redundancy is redundant!

As I understood it at last War of the Iron Fish, it was decided hat GATES/WAR were no longer DUS events, but Inter-realm events... I could have mis-understood though.

Lady Krystal · « **Reply #733 on:** March 30, 2011, 01:14:40 pm »

DUS still has to handle all money transactions, so unless there's a member of Dominion there -with- me to handle the money for troll.. I don't believe I can be of any assistance.

The earliest that Hippy can make it on Thursday is 4pm, and unfortunately I'm starting a new job so I do not know what my hours will be to know if I would be able to get there early or not.

Contact me off the boards if you are wanting to get on site sooner than 4pm on Thursday, how many people you are going to have with you, etc and we can possibly work something out.

You have a place for me to camp, right skeith? I and greatly looking forward to taking the field with the rest of the Chaos forces.

Skeith, the Forsaken · « **Reply #738 on:** March 31, 2011, 10:18:06 am »

I sure do Sveinn. You are going to be staying up on the cliff in Mordor Heights with my division. Pretty damned pumped you are making it out buddy. Evil is gonna rape up this year. Still blows my mind that Army of Mordor is going to have a 70 members attending. Good and lawful alike need to pick up KY with their camping supplies.

Sveinn Shieldsbane · « **Reply #739 on:** March 31, 2011, 12:28:36 pm »

I could not be more pumped for this event. Sounds like the forces or good are gonna need a LOT of KY. I suggest bringing it from home, in case the local supply is bought out.

Syre Jari Kafghan the Dark Knight · « **Reply #740 on:** March 31, 2011, 01:20:23 pm »

I think I heard EM say they were planning on setting up camp up there as well, so we need to make sure we clear out plenty of space for everyone. I know most of My division will probably camp in the Dead Marshes, but a few of our newer guys will be wanting to stay on the Heights as well. Gotta make sure there is plenty of space.

Baron Fafnir · « **Reply #745 on:** March 31, 2011, 08:37:40 pm »

Update: Troll is now going to open at 2:30pm. That is the earliest time we can guarantee someone will be there. I'll be modifying my first post to this new information as well.

Edit of sadness:

Negotiations turned for the worse. I'm absolutely forbidden to go to Gates this year...words don't quite describe my sorrow right now. luckily, I just found out that Gates is not the only event the BFR Trials are held at, but I'm extremely sad to miss out on the opportunity anyway. Maybe next year. T_T

Iohn deMar · « **Reply #749 on:** April 04, 2011, 08:50:51 pm »

I guess this is to Fafnir... I couldn't find a list of event volunteers. Who is running garb check/weapons check/courtesy? Haven would like to donate 2 of our more veteran members to help with garb/weapon check.

Thanks.
