Should have stopped calling Papa Samedi in the middle of the night for stupid things like a glass of water.

Aye as said, that’s where I ran out of patience when I know Jo’kar needs to spend alot of time on his appearance.

This is probably the messiest campaign I & my guild have taken part in over the last few years. There was awkward miscommunication & failures in foresight (lag/numbers) that collectively led to a Wetlands campaign ending up split between the two opposite ends of a continent. Organisation-wise I was quite disappointed, going off the success that the first Theatres of War campaign turned out to be.

That said, I think many of the practices started in that first campaign have carried over. Throughout the campaign the Horde guilds Footman has faced have been thoroughly enjoyable to roleplay with, extremely fair-minded in their PvP and generally very pleasant to communicate with for organisational purposes. I am surprised and, actually, incredibly proud to see how well several members of our community stepped up during the ensuing chaos of the first few days to pull two mini-campaigns out of their rear ends to prop everything up. I do think the last few days in the Hinterlands were a little slap-dash and could have done with some attention to detail, but considering they were thrown together in a voice call at the very last minute I think they were absolutely thrilling.

The ending of the campaign, with the power-enthused trolls - even though I voiced my concerns beforehand - actually turned out beautifully. It was a really nice touch born of a passion for a suitably epic end to a week’s worth of storytelling and, for me at least, it was a very satisfying conclusion.

Overall, I think the campaign was a success. I hope the mistakes made early on have been taken into account and will improve the upcoming Theatres of War 3: Electric Boogalee, but otherwise a very solid set of thanks to the organisers and everybody who came together to make the thing the success it was.

Until next time;

Highty tighty, Faol almighty, who the hell are we?
It’s all over, they’ve called their loa, it’s time to bloody flee!

I’m going to find who made that damn Ladder! I’m tired of people using Ladders! I can’t even play snakes and Ladders without getting PTSD anymore.

That Wetlands stuff was… bad… oh well, it recovered. The bridge part was cool minus all the lag.

(it wasn’t ours, we just found it! we aren’t trained to use it, so most of the regiment’s peasants tried to eat it)

I know when to apologise, it wasn’t your fault. Sorry for my sudden outburst and the public accusation. I’m reasonable enough to know when I’m in the wrong. I hope you can understand my frustrations with the outcome however. I really only got to see the outside of the city, and being killed. At the very climax of the battle, the cherry at the top of the cream, and I was denied that glorious character development and RP of actually seeing the Trolls advance, stomping us Alliance as if though we were just flies before them. God, I wish that’s what would have happened.

Right, I’m ranting, either way. Again. Sorry. I look forward to the next event.

I am the true Lord of All Ladders in great dark beyond. And my ladders are very based. You’ve found who you need, Dudflex. You’ve been Ladderpilled and you’re welcome.

Best take away from the Wetlands lag is that everyone organising a campaign should know for a fact now that you need more than one zone unless you’re restricting the thing to a raid group per faction

I never were your Son, but your devotee. And now you defile MY LADDERS? Unacceptable. As Scumlord Skump, loa of Ladders (aka Loadders), i shall defend my authority.

Also, thanks again for those who keep it civil. :heart:
