Monthly battle rotations for Ravenwood is a wonderful thing me thinks. It keeps us fighting together more often and makes battle fresh and interesting once a month. I think it is a wonderful way to get some of our attendance challenged members to show up once in a while too. Barring that, we have slight decision to make. You see, the other realm in Springfield Vor Vollar Skepna () has made us a proposition. They have an interest in being included in our monthly rotation. So it would looks something like this; January-Springfield, Ravenwood's Park February-Joplin, Ravenwood's Park March-Springfield, VVS's Park So, what I want to here is some opinions on this. Please keep them somewhat logical and non-offensive. VVS is our friends(Grammar? ) and be careful how you might word things. Plus, I won't put up with much incivility anyway, so keep it friendly. Answer these questions (or one or two at least) -How will this impact our Rotation -How will it impact our realm -How will it impact our members -Is it a necessary compromise? -What are some reasons we should? -What are some reasons we should not? -Any other comments? This is for Ravenwood or VVS members to post on. Ultimatley though, Orrin and I will decide after talking to each of our members in person (Or as many as possible) I will be talking to the Joplin Province this coming Sunday.

We can always plan visits to invade VVS but the monthly realm battles are "REALM" battles. VVS is welcome to them but we shouldn't be obliged to work them into our travel rotation as the whole purpose of the realm battle is to stay in touch with our realm members first and foremost. Also, VVS is in Springfield same as Ravenwood. Instead of obliging Joplin members to travel to springfield 2 months in a row to the Springfield people coming to Joplin once, perhaps we can just rotate the location of our Springfield battle instead of having to rotate different realms. For example, this month we had our Springfield battle at Bojac's place, next month it will be here in Joplin, and perhaps the month after that our Springfield battle can be at VVS' park, with the month after that being in Joplin again. I think this would be better as it seems silly to have a whole separate rotation for a realm that is in the same location as one of ours.

My opinion is unchanged. This is taken dierectly from the Dagorhir Chapter contract.
As I understand it, these realm battles are our attempt to fullfill our contractual duties as a chapter of the non-for profit Organization known as Dagorhir. If we were all members of the same chapter, than it would be alright. But, otherwise, we would not be holding our official monthly event as is our duty, ans as such could be concidered "in breach of contract".
Invasions, and visits are still encouraged and I plan on having the caravan visit them often.

I would agree with both Orrin and Illyia on this one. Our thought for beginning the realm battles was to intersperse our members with each other and break up the monotony of fighting the same people every weekend while growing the bonds between fellow realm members.
It is wonderful to have VVS come join our battles because it is always good to fight more and more people as well as get to know everyone. However, on the fact that it is deemed realm battles I do believe rotation should be kept within the realm.

I agree with what you guys are sying here, Jordan just really wants to see our unit improve and I applaud him for that. I don't think he really understood that this is a realm rotation. Hell, neither did I until I read this. I thought it was just units in the area. But anyways, I am happy that this rotation is happening, gives us a chance to operate as a unit and get some practice before trying it on the event field. It is our intention to get out to every one possible. Had a great time on this last one and look forward to the next in Feb.

BTW-The realm battle for Feb. will be on the 22nd. It will be at Shifferdecker Park in Joplin at 2pm. Look forward to seeing you all there! Also, we will have a small group from Warsaw, Mo visiting us that weekend. They have asked to join our realm and start a province in Warsaw so we look forward to welcoming them into the Republic of Ravenwood!!!

Means nothing more than me saying unit instead of realm, we've been small for a while now so we are very close-knit minded. Our entire realm is just us, the unit. Yeah Orrin, I'll set up a myspace account and then add you.
