when i first read jesters statement i was quite excited. while i wasn't sure if it was just a clever ruse to study the atmosphere in the realm or an honest try to bring back some of the lost spirit of wartime (not a war between factions, but a general 'state of war'), it was promising to tear people out of their comfortable ways (habit is an enemy of inspiration). when i read the declaration, i was hoping for a kind of "letos sacrifice", a reign of omnipotent danger that would recreate the time of new departures, an atmosphere where one would be encouraged, and if need be forced, to evolve and to adapt to a changing environment. while this oppinion may be a little demian-esque, i think it fits the realm.
now to be honest, i'm a little disappointet that this promising opening appears to get ended so soon (with a single, scheduled, invitation-only battle). even if this battle would/will be of epic proportions, it is just [i]one battle[/i] to [i]accomplish an end[/i], not the cradle of legends it could have been.
[but than, this is just the rambling of a warrior who laid down his own sword some time ago...]

criticism aside, i'm expectant to see what becomes of this.
