Waking Dead

First of all, a hearty Fighting Cocks welcome to all our new players: Andreas, Saugrum, Flexius, Theresa, Chasgar, Kestrel, Ulfnir and Gwenael. We had a bunch of fun last night racking up RvR kills against the Greenskins, and I for one hope that continues.

Secondly, I’m thinking about clearing up the forum, making it a lot smaller and easier to navigate, and making it accessible to everyone with a WordPress login. It’ll take me some time to sort it out, but I thought that we probably still need somewhere to discuss guild stuff that doesn’t really sit on the blog.

So, here’s the plan: the blog will remain primarily my own personal blog, but I’ll post any guild announcements on the front page for everyone to see. Because we also have a tabletop RPG and wargaming group that uses the blog, it still makes sense to keep it mixed-use, but I can transfer some of those discussions to the forums. What I propose is that the forums have an ‘online’ and an ‘offline’ section, but with far less sub-forums than we currently have. I’ll also be moving across all the old data so nobody loses out! It may be tricky tying your posts back to your new user accounts, but I’ll figure it out.

If anyone has any suggestions, or if you simply don’t want the forums back at all, post a comment here and I’ll answer it as soon as I can. Otherwise, in the next couple of days, there’ll be a new forum up for everyone to use. Sigmar willing, at least…

Well, my worst fears have come true; of the two Core-RP servers available at launch, only Burlok will be opened for the headstart. That means we won’t be able to roll on Makaisson until next Friday, which leaves us in something of a dilemna. However, despite my affection towards the mighty Malakai Makaisson, I’ve just done some reading on Burlok Greysteel and he sounds like a fine chap indeed. So, contrary to what I might have mentioned on the forums, the server choice for the Fighting Cocks will be Burlok. I’ll be on tomorrow as soon as the server’s up, and in the meantime I’ll post about on a few forums and try and drum up some support for the guild. Our official server forums are located here on Warhammer Alliance.

See you all in-game!

Update: Just registered my headstart code and got my confirmation email… I’m off to bed

I figured this was big enough for a front page update.

As I’ve probably said to you all individually, my love affair with Conan is over. The only thing now is to transfer guild leadership over to somone who’s likely to be sticking with the game, or we disolve the Bride Burners for now and let people join up with other guilds. My current preference is to keep the Bride Burners exactly as they are, and if anyone else is still playing they can join another guild.

On a personal note, I’ll be devoting my time to WoW and eventually WAR when the Beta rolls around. If anyone feels like joining me, you know what to do
