Doctors Without Borders is still around, though it can be hard to find people to heal given the fact that we are sometimes clumped up. On the up side when I last played we had a pretty good rep and even evil factions would occasionally let us alone since we would heal them. Plus attacking evil strongholds only to heal them, give them stuff, and just kind of chat was fun.

I have 47 AP, we should go beat down their ward and take it back.
Sorry randombattle, I set the wheel on aggressive after our stronghold disappeared and apparently it didn't like you. When you get back I'll give you some stuff.
I'm still pretty new. Is it on? Are we going to get back at these guys? I'm still level 3. I'm fairly useless in a fight. I still only have my fists. My furious, furious fists.

I thought the wheel went away when the stronghold when down..
Well I'm at 0 ap sitting in the hospital at 37,69 so I won't be to the stronghold till like tomorrow.
Nah, it's my pet. I didn't think it would attack mortals, though.
I don't see any reason why we can't kill these guys, especially if the faction is going to be neutral or evil in the future. Their faction is full of squishy shepherds so you low level guys should be able to get some good hits in. I can help beat down the wards, though this character doesn't have a whole lot of combat power.
When a standard is captured, the defending faction will automatically have their stronghold revoked and their faction bonuses will be halved. When a standard is retrieved, there are no penalties to the defending faction.
Strongholds can only be created when a faction recovers their standard. This can be achieved through recovering a flag from the raiding faction's stronghold or waiting a period of 24 hours after the flag was taken.
We also gain honor by retrieving a captured standard.
um...how the hell do i play this madness? and may i join the PA faction?

Well, once logged in with your character just visit the faction page and click to join up since the faction is set to open. As for how to play...good question. I'd browse through the classes and figure out where you want to go ultimately. Then just choose whatever feels good and won't be a waste of points in the end. Healing, repairing, reading, and killing are all decent ways to get xp in the beginning.
Edit: And if we need an organized effort to get our flag back, we should really designate an irc channel for those moments.
Voro on

Excellent and joined. I'm now shooting puppies in the Zoo.
Ok so you may or may not have noticed that the server is cocking up and has decided that messages were not worth keeping. So I'm not going to bother sending a mail.
Does anyone wanna take the reins of the faction?
I definitely am able to and want to help with organizing things, although I don't feel particularly qualified because
1. I haven't played in forever and my new character is only level 4,
2. I have no idea what the situation is like politically in the game,
3. I'm still relearning all the fiddly bits about the game
Heh. One of the best ways to learn how to play and lead and stuff is to play and lead!
whisper me in the SH (I'm RU FI OOOOOOOOOOOOH) and I'll promote you.
if you guys wanna make an IRC channel, go right ahead. The official irc server is irc.nexuswar.com.
Voro you should competent. Do you wanna take over?
I'll look into the irc thing later tonight then so that we have something handy for tomorrow.
As for taking over...I usually flake out after a week or two no matter what game I'm playing. If you really need to change leadership, I can take over for a short time, but someone else would need to step up within a week after that. Right now I'm still very, very rusty.
So I have three characters on the verge of tier 3. One set to be a VW, another that I may turn into an Eternal Soldier, and a third that's a caster of some sort.
My VW and caster are guilded, but my Myrmidon (19, nearly 20. I enjoy playing this character the most) has been running around guildless, chopping everyone up without worry of ganking allies.
Would the PA guild raid enough to justify tossing his hat in with them?
Where would I go to get bows? I haven't seen anything but arrows and a few throwing knives lying about.
The wiki has a section about ranged weapons that includes where they can be found. Early on, gun stores are probably the best place to look, as the archery specific attack skills have Ranged Combat as a pre-req, and so you can grab a bunch of guns and such that you might also be able to make use of. And as hoodie13 said, cottages (and stone huts) are a nice place to look for bows, not so much for the bow search rates, but because quivers of arrows are somewhat easy to find there as well.

WAR WERE DECLARED
Are we all going to zerg, zerg rush on at a particular time? Or should we trickle over and punch them as we feel the need arises?
edit: Also, what the crap? Both factions are listed as "good"...
I never asked for this!
This is as much for my benefit as it is yours; I keep forgetting and looking back at this thread.
I just got murdered by some dude in the stronghold
Someone invite me into the group -> http://www.nexuswar.com/characters/view.do?characterID=132935

How much AP do you have, Frem?
What happens if we don't?
Do we know where these guys make their stronghold at?
I never asked for this!
Uh, there's a delay before we can remake our stronghold or something. I don't quite remember, but it's not too bad.
Edit: So, how many folks have AP to burn right now?
We also gain honor by retrieving a captured standard.
Edit: Soda Popinski, you should probably run away, I don't think we're getting in right now
Edit: Nooo james run away save yourself
But you should run away
Everyone, attack 12,41! For justice!
edit: Oh, it's hopeless. Never mind.
Edit: Bah, memorized and it didn't work on the ward inside. ...and now I read the wiki and shouldn't have even wasted my time trying that.
Edit: ahhhhhh, some maniac in the museum killed me with a sword, and since we dont have a stronghold, I'm at 43,71
