New battlecry for bards is POINTS. Do not ask why. I will not say.

I hate Lazee

They put lava in the entrance to the hq, i think because too many people went in instead of playing the game.

I just posted this to Thu's thread but, Here is the official purpose of the bards

The bards is a non-violent organization that serves the free-peoples, in particular the King of Gondor, Sjoerdtim. We also serve Only_God, the World Builder
Our duties are as follow:
-To write stories and other writings to further the lore, and community of Empirewar
-To discover all the secrets we can on the maps of Empirewar, and inform the community of their locations for the betterment of all
-To assist the mods in their duty by enforcing the rules of Empirewar
-To improve the quality of Roleplaying on the EmpireWar servers, and to encourage the community to partake in role-playing
-To keep track of all the characters, leaders, etc. of the community of Empirewar, and to organize this system
I don't think I missed anything, but if I think of something I will tell you
As for joining, it is very difficult. Though any bard may nominate someone to become a bard, Only I, as the leader, can create a new bard. At this time, we are not in fact accepting any bards, NO EXCEPTIONS and again ONLY I MAY MAKE NEW BARDS so stop asking to join. However, I may, in the future, accept people who are 'friendly to the bards' who would not have a position on our council, but would work to further our mission, and would perhaps have access to our HQ, but at this time this is not a thing.
To better your chances of being noticed by me and made a bard, you can do some of the following things:
be friendly to all on Empirewar. Establish a name for yourself, get people to know you.
Create a character that fits into lore and is not out of control. Have myself or another bard approve it. Roleplay as this character (not all the time and in everyone's face, just know the character and act as they would)
Write a story, post it on forums. Make it good, hopefully I'll like it.
If you do these things, you'll get yourself noticed by myself and the other bards. Perhaps one day this can turn you into a bard, but for today, there will be no new bards accepted.
THE MORE YOU ASK TO JOIN OR ASK WHERE HQ IS THE LESS LIKELY YOU ARE TO EVER GET IN OR BE TOLD WHERE THE ENTRANCE IS
It's like in WoW or other MMOs, annoy us that's -10 rep off neutral, do good stuff that's +10 rep off neutral
Good luck

beepbobit dog lover wants to know if he can try out for bard

beepbobit luco is back doing the RP quest

Hey Beepbobit! I was told on the server that you could tell me what bards are and how to be one.

Thank you Sooooo much to Only_God for building the new Bard's HQ! We are ever in your thanks!
Friends of the Bards, feel free to come on down and visit us! We're always open, except when we're closed

Attention all worthy adventurers of Empire War!
Recently, the Order of the Bards has been given a Headquarters thanks to the benevolent Kindness of the Staff, especially Sjoerdtim, King of Gondor, and Pwned_Slayer, I am not sure what he is but I'm sure he's awesome.
There is only one problem with our current headquarters: There are six seats, and only five bards to fill them! So this brings me to a clear option:
TIME TO FIND THE NEXT BARD!!!
I am starting a contest to find who the next bard will be. If you want to apply, create a roleplaying character based on EmpireWar Canon (Basically LOTR canon plus any stories/lore from forums, server play, etc). Then, post on my wall or send me a message with the following:
-Your mine craft name
-Your character name (Could be the same, for me it is)
-A brief (1 paragraph or so) description of your character, who they are, where they're from, their talents, and most importantly why they should be a bard.
-Though I will have gotten a taste of your writing style from the character description, I will need more. Include a short story about your experiences on EmpireWar. Use any current bard's stories for inspiration. Creativity is just as important as keeping with Canon. This should not be shorter than a paragraph and not longer than a page. This can be a story you have already written and posted to the forums or elsewhere.
-The stories, characters, etc will be judged on a couple of factors: Creativity, Writing Style, Grammatical Ability (not too important just helpful), Character depth and validity (don't make yourself OP, use good RPing skills, but make it interesting), and overall fitting with canon, etc. Also, ability to follow instructions.
I will soon announce who the new bard will be. Their official title will be "(insert name here), Bard Initiate".
If you are already a bard (Kordian, Nightrogue, Kingjoseph or cool_col) feel free to send me your own application, so I can learn more about your character, however your spot is secure.
Thank you very much for your attention, and I hope you all apply! Spread the word to your friends!
-Beepbobit the Wise
DISCLAIMER: The judging of this contest will be at least partially swayed by my own personal bias, sorry but the decision does come down to whether I like it or not, so don't complain. There are plenty of ways to be involved in RP other than being a bard.
Also, any characters sent to me will have a higher likelihood of being included in one of my stories!!

Just askin... How do you join this clan site called ithilien?

Are you guys like bardian archers or something?
That would be cool.

Thank you so much Tim and all the staff! It is truly an honor to be recognized.

Quite an interesting first day on Atherys.
I followed the instructions well, I picked Acolyte, went to Keystone and got a boat, then things went awry.
In the harbor, I was assassinated. Turns out that Keystone was under attack. Having lost all my tools, foods, and boats, I respawned and returned to keystone, to find it in chaos. I then cut a tree, made a boat, and fled, but eventually lagged out and lost the coastline... so now I followed a road westward and built this little home on the ruins of a house. Someone help! I wanna help Ithilien

I shall support anything you decide. My one man order shall stand by you in both war and peace

Dear Mods of Empirewar, as well as everyone else,
The order of the bards does so much for our community. We write stories in order to enrich the lore of this great server, and to entertain the community. We keep track and organize the constant stream of "I'm king!" requests on the forums and elsewhere so you don't have to. We always respect the staff and help out others. I think it is time to recognize our commitments. I propose that, at the location shown in this screenshot (past fifth gate in Minas Tirith, no one really goes there so its not in the way) That you place a single sign that says "Head Quarters of the Order of the Bards". We would really appreciate the recognition, and would be extremely thankful to have ourselves immortalized in such a great map on such a great server.
Thank you very much,
Beepbobit and the Bards
