Important: Initiation Phase draws to a close

[Wei Guozhi]

I am pleased to announce that the initiation/first dioplomacy phase will be coming to a close on the 4th or 5th of Feburary 2011. Once closed, the battle phase will commence, and all kingdoms will be forced to make a declaration against either a player/or npc force.

We strongly encourage this week to get in any tasks that need doing, to resolve any diplomatic issues and to strengthen whatever you may strengthen, for as soon as the battle phase starts only war and bloodshed will exist!

Adam edit: Normal roleplays can still be made by those out of battle, however rewards will not be given for tasks during those times.

I am also pleased to announce a new member to the NPC Account. Cao Cao, and with shis help we have agreed to add three additional NPC forces we can wage war on, talk to and play with. These forces are Zhang Xiu, Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan.

I hope you enjoy the remaining of the sites dip phase and look forward to the battles soon to come.

Regards
Steve/Lu Bu

To reaffirm things, the site does not cater only for the battle lovers during the battle phase, as such those out of battle may feel free to roleplay. However tasks during that period will not be rewarded.

I would like to remind people of just a few things that may have been overlooked in the rules. Firstly, Ronins disband as soon as you join a force! Secondly, entourage units do indeed have a limit. At this point, nearly everyone can only have one, with the exception of rulers, who -- with their 'Warlord' rank, are allowed three.

I would also like to reiterate that signatures should display reputation and entourage units at all times!

Thank you, and you all are doing amazing for our first two weeks. I look forward to the military phase.

Minor Changes:

The "Roleplay Area", having never been used, has been made into our Battlefield area to accommodate the battles that will be taking place during our first military phase.

Battles will occur here until as long as their duration lasts, then they will be moved into the city board where they took place.

The duel arena will remain where it is, for anyone interested in dueling.
