Not sure if this is the right place, so mods, feel free to move it and sorry for posting it here.

I've been chosen to be the representative to this board for the coming campaign. Although I can hold a great speech why should join, I think the following is better. Below you'll find the message from the creator of the new online campaign, a great guy who goes under the name Mannfred Von Carstein.

---------------------------------


Alright, Everyone listen up.

What do you call a giant "Toof" a "Great Mis-understanding" and a Mutating stone of combustible energy? Well, None other then a Warhammer campaign of coarse!!!!

It time to get ready for the Blood Keep's uprising Campaign. I am going to need everyones help to take part in the fun. Each week a new sceanrio is going to be released, and a new chunk of storyline. To start off the story we are going to begin in Grand Cathay. Two armies will be mustering a horde and another two will be comming into a brief wages of war amongst each other with their already awesome battilion of troops. Some will be on a quest for treasure that has been befound by only their enemies... Some will realise that it's time to strike, and a new age has come. who is to decide each's own fate. But you people of the internet clash in four factions. From each their people will play with their buddys and get a chance to vote and change the basis of the storyline to fit each's own needs.

This all begins on June 1st. But we need peoples help to organize this and get the ball rolling. First we still need reps for forums to spread the news and some other minor tasks. Then secondly we'll need you to help partake in the Campaign and share your wins and losses with us so we can determine what next will happen. This will be done by a voting system, and by you telling us in short easy to read posts. That will be only consisting of the winning race(s). Thirdly, after this is determined. We will tell the winning faction, which will be decided at the Blood Keep, which three scenarios by name would they like to play first. Then from here from them, we will be making the final decision on the order.

Next along with the Scenarios, will come and awesome storyline that we have created. The storyline will follow with the lossing scenarios, and winning scenarios for each outcome. Another thing that we would also like to express is that if you lose a mission, the next battle is going to be probably a little lop sided. meaning that you won't always get the advantage when you play. But if you lose 3 in a row, don't feel discuraged. On the 4th battle it will be a pivital battle. Meaning it will be evend back out agian, and lean a different way. With each scenario differing, who is to say what could happen next. But, this will be entirely up to you. Or how well you do.

Ok, now... We are going to need a fraction of help. We need reps, will anyone offer thier service? If you'd like to know about more. You could always contact Ardone, or Me. I can probably help you out a little more, But he has a laydown too.

A Rep's Job:
A Rep's Job will consist of getting and sharing information. They will join a team, and be Champions. Meaning they are going to help get in the final say in which scenarios are going to come next and in which order. Next, they will always report back to me with all the information collected and summarized. This will be all, Please Sign below if you interested. All slackers will be kicked from the team, and be shamed upon!


Yours Truely, -MvC

Ok, I have came to speak in person. Lots of errors in the post above so here is my claims...

Alright, Everyone listen up.

It's time to get ready for the Blood Keep's uprising Campaign. I am going to need everyone’s help to take part in the fun. Each week a new scenario is going to be released, and a new chunk of storyline. To start off the story we are going to begin in Grand Cathay. Two armies will be mustering a horde and another two will be coming into a brief wages of war amongst each other with their already awesome battalion of troops. Some will be on a quest for treasure that has been be found by only their enemies... Some will realize that it's time to strike, and a new age has come. Who is to decide each's own fate? But you people of the internet clash in four factions. From each, their people will play with their buddies and get a chance to vote and change the basis of the storyline to fit each's own needs. (Which have already basically already decided determining who is winnig at the time.)

This all begins on June 1st. But we need peoples help to organize this and get the ball rolling. First we still need reps for forums to spread the news and some other minor tasks. Then secondly we'll need you to help partake in the Campaign and share your wins and losses with us so we can determine what next will happen.

Meaning that you won't always get the advantage when you play. But if you lose 3 in a row, don't feel discouraged. On the 4th battle it will be a pivotal battle. Meaning it will be evened back out again, and will lean a different way. With each scenario differing, who is to say what could happen next... But, this will be entirely up to you. Or how well you do.

Now I want to give you all have a basic understanding about what the begining of the Campaign is about. I am not going to go into direct detail because I don't want to spoil anyones fun.

Alright it starts out that "Orn" an Orc, is wanting to start his own WAAAGH! But to do this he will need followers, and to prove that he is worthy of even leading one. So pretty much, he is going to be like a mini Crom the Conquerer, smashing small warbands of troops while he encourages his WAAAGH! and grows his strenghts.

Then there is this Skaven race. A Clan Skryre based army, that is already fairly strong. But still is in the process of enlarging itself. But in the process, they have managed to use up all the warpstone at thier local encampment. So they need to make base some where else.

Thirdly, There is a Ogre encampment. Large, and not only in size, But each individual makes it all the larger. With this in mind, They have found a sacred item they wish to keep. Something that they think has been blessed with the great maw, because of the attributes it gives the leaders troops. He (Meaning the Leader) isn't very wise, but he has enough power to break the house down.

Now that I have given you a little insight of three of the races. Your going have to wait for more to come...

To make the game as realistic as possible I have done away with residing heroes in the Warhammer World. Maybe not Sigmar and a couple others. Each lord will have his sub commanders. (Now when I say real I mean for our own world. Now you may think that is Wonky but I don't like the idea of us being there and then out of nowhere Archeon is like death to you. While Valten is like I'll attack you from behind them Grimgor is like "I like to kill things and attacks us from the side.)

What is a "Sub Commander": Well, my good friends they are the people acting for each Factions Lord. They will command the smaller rank officers and keep order in each forum where they may reside. The "Sub Commanders" must have a name as I would like to introduce them into the story eventually. So we may have our own world "Sandbox if you will."
The Lord will debate things like storyline and what not, along with "Sub Commanders," well they will have a debate with their Lord. Then when the Lords have decided things the "Sub Commanders" will distibute the information among the smaller ranking players and grunts.

The Game will be run with what I call "Option Points"

What is an "Option Point.": Well, it is a point you win for doing things within a scenario. You win them mostly when you complete bounus objectives. With these "Option Points" you will send them into your Faction. We will tally these up and we can have a vote on which "Set" of scenarios wil be played.

What is a "Set": The campaign is played like this. |- - -|- - -|- - -| each - represents a scenario that maybe played in any order. | represents a scenario that is set in it's ways. Each "Set" is a round of 3 scenarios that are chosen by a vote with "Option Points"

eg: Ted has 5 Option Points, Jim has 23x10^26. During this vote type thing we will secretly write/type what we have bid and who ever has one gets to pick the set of scenarios.

Ted bet 2 and Jim bet 0. |1 2 3|4 5 6|7 8 9| so Ted chooses the next set. |3 1 2|4 5 6|7 8 9| like so. This is meant so that the players have a since/say on what will happen next. Now each scenario is tailored so that it may be played in any order. Also this is to make a winning team decide when to use his bonus or disadvantage.

Now that that's cleared up, I hope you'll think differently about this all...

I am sorry I haven't checked the last posts. I believe it was mine right?

I wasn't saying I couldn't cope, I was just clearly stating my own person opinions. Nothing more, Nothing less... And otherwise what, ends here? I am just a little confused on that part.

Oh, and I was wondering. Are you going to play? If you don't like our scenarios, then just don't vote after you play them. Then you can say you at least tried it, and you know you don't like it. Right?
