Eek, I got distracted with other things. I'm sorry!

Lol np man, what else do we need? army design right? I'll send some to TGL, but each player will get to design their namesake army

I'm interested in participating on the Coalition side. How does this work?

Ahoyhoy Chinkeeyong! Good to see thee aboard, and the Coalition doth need a few extra members indeed! Is there anything in particular that thee would like expanding on? We art currently the resident Emissary of the Dice Gods, so the one going over everything and facilitating the complete destruction.

The 'in a nutshell' version is a great big turn-based strategy game involving marching fantastical armies across planes in a massive war. The most fun part is the designing of tactics in order to best slaughter everything.
There art quite a few moving parts though, and RPeringness is rather encouraged (players hath written some rather entertaining stories about connections with the war, unfortunately many of those hath been lost with the Wizards forums jumping everywhere). But think of thyself as an 'armchair general,' sitting back at command and telling the commanders in the field what to do, although using personal leaders for armies is fine too.

But first! Make thyself an army to use, the design rules art in the wiki here. If thee need any help, we would suggest giving Kelket as acting General for guiding things along, but we art happy to lend a hand as well. Still setting things up, and fortunately Pacone got there before we did with nominating leaders.

On that note, still need army designs from the rest of thee. If unsure of rank, just make an Evincar/Captain one and pester Tevish/Pacone for Phyrexia or Kelket/us for the Coalition, but get it done! The current designs made for last round art still on the map, and we hath the structure descriptions too. If thee want anything changed, let us know. But basically get those namesake armies sorted. Then give us a bit of time to put them up, and then war will echo across the planes once more!
Although it seems that the site hosting the map hast gone wibbly again, but Murica should be arranging that this weekend.

(And would like to reiterate the thanks for Wikiness BH! No worries about getting distracted too, it can at least be refined on the fly)

Thanks for responding, Great Lord. Some questions I have: What makes a namesake army different from a regular army? Where is this map that other players seem to be referring to? And how soon will I get a chance to crush the Phyrexians?

I'm just going to jump into this. Tell me if I'm doing anything wrong -

I will join the Coalition under the Red faction, with Blue and Black as secondary factions. My namesake army, assuming Captain rank, looks like this:

Chance's Thunderbirds
I command this army personally, riding one of the Balefire Dragons.
1000 Thunderblust
1500 Balefire Dragon
2500 Rage Nimbus
5000 Hell's Thunder

Anyone here remember Repax? Is there a way someone might be able to reach out to him?

Welcome chinkeeyong! The only wrong thing you're doing is siding up with those unworthy coalitioners, but that will be fixed in due time, once you open your eyes and embrace compleation like others before you have done...

Your namesake army is just like any other, but you get to design it as you like, instead of being "preconstructed"

Jumping in and figuring it out as go is always a good way to go about these things. A perfectly fine army too, we art curious to see what thee do with it!

Namesake armies; as Pacone hath said, it is thine personally designed army (there art 40 all up), and one that, as long as thee stick around, will be all thine for each battle. As opposed to other armies ('proxies') for which battles art passed around depending on convenience, often made for a smaller selection for more versatility than personal flair.
Map; the map is; http://cwg.derxis.ro/. Most of the setup was pre-done from earlier, just bits and pieces to polish off, and add personalisation here.
Killing things; just as soon as we get the armies from the other players to input (well, a few days later most likely). But if thee like, thee can challenge one to an OSMQ (this is pretty much a duel under conditions of players choosing where the strategies art made public afterward. It works nicely as a bit of practice).

We remember Repax . If thee look in Phyrexia thee will find a Lake Ultimus. Not a place thee should go swimming in however. We were rather hoping that one of thee would hath a more certain and direct contact with him than us needing to see how far back old strategies go >.>.

I remember Repax, but contact information I do not have. Sorry.

I choose to forget him to preserve my sanity

Unless we can find him in the wasteland of the old forums and get contact info from his profile, I'd have no way of contacting Repax.

OK, I'm joining as a Captain of the Blue Faction.

My army:
1000 Quicksilver Gargantuan
1000 Frost Titan
500 Guile
1500 Prognostic Sphinx
1000 Ætherling
5000 Jetting Glasskite


Am I doing this right?

Ugh. Sorry, I started looking through cards a few days ago, but I haven't been feeling so great the last few days and this has not been high priority for me. I'll try to get to this in my off-time, but now that school has started back up, my off-time isn't much.

Oh hey, people are doing things!

I should get on actually helping organize... but ..but ... 5e.

Nods his approval after reading Argh's army list

Interesting,very interesting...

That looks good there Aaarrrgh . Just needs a commander, so pick a legend, any legend! Unless thee wish otherwise, the army's name will be thine own.

Which reminds us, Chinkeeyong, if thee could make a wee MTG card version of that there legend it would be goodness. Just so there is a visual representation of what is being gunned for in a kill strategy (anything too wibbly like 'is completely undetectable and can't be touched' will need to be scaled back of course). In normal combat a legend also hast no perceivable impact on battle, as it is one against 10000 after all.

No worries LunaEquie. Doth thee hath a faction preference then?

The commander of Chance's Thunderbirds is a scruffy fellow who spends more time gaming and telling stories at the tavern than actually commanding troops.

Chance the Vagabond

Legendary Creature - Human Rogue Wizard (M)
2/2

Haste
: Choose target creature, then secretly choose one – Draw two cards; or destroy the chosen creature; or Chance the Vagabond deals 5 damage to the chosen creature's controller. After you choose a mode for this ability, that creature's controller guesses which mode you chose. Reveal your choice. If that player guessed right, counter this ability.

Well, I can think of no better commander than Arcanis the Omnipotent! (although Sakashima the Impostor would be fun, but might give me an unfair advantage...)

Aracanis is cool though.

Thine enemies will give thee no quarter, so take any available advantage! But for the namesake army, go for personalising it to make it thine own, what fits best for thee.

Thanks Chinkeeyong, that will do nicely.
