I'm thinking yes. What we need...come up with a shard...volunteers to supply weapons and armor. Healers...lots and lots of healers...hmmmmm

I have to admit, I was always a Bob. I couldn't stand the thought of being a smelly Frenchman named Fred...la

We had an EM event one 4th of July where people had a couple hours to create a new char on Europa and name it either American Force or British Force. War was declared and one side had to defend Brit Castle. It a fun event and no rewards other than noobs killing noobs.

I volunteer Sonoma, weapons, armor and a base of operations.

Oh, and one healer :)

Hmmmm, maybe it would be better to rather than a Bob vs Fred, to have a Bob invasion. It's always fun to have 20 Bobs running around with 50 tactics and 50 swords attacking a single fully geared player and watch them perish to the fury of Bob...la

Freds and Bobs only is sexual discrimination.


I am offended.

Fine, you can be Bobbette or Fredrica. Your choice.

I think this'd be a blast. Have a monthly Fred vs. Bob war.

Somehow I think that the way the game is today, the single scrolled out Temp with a maxed out suit and weapon, would kill all 20 of the Bobs.

But it would still be fun.

I'd do it on any shard, but would prefer Chessy since I could also help out with tons of weapons and armor. I have more than 200 War Forks lying around in my houses, let alone enough basic armor to suit up 20 people....

I like this idea, and it's just more proof that silly EMs were never needed in the first place. Oh, and of course I would be remiss if I didn't add the comment.."Morganigail, do you have to make every thread you post in about you?"...there..again though Rico, nice idea...

I had a Fred or a Bob in that forget which name now, on Chesapeake back then. I was in other Fred Bob wars too assorted shards they are always fun !!


I can make a Fred or Bob anywhere, but I do have res chrs on Ches. and Siege would be fun to see a lot of Freds and Bobs on Siege too, or Chesapeake ...

of course if we pick Sonoma...I think Dor's one establishment is nicely located by a cemetary ... tis kinda nice to DIE by or upon, a place of internment. lol :)


I am up for an overdue Fred Bob war...or even a Lupa the Butcher we had that once too, myriads of Chesapeake players all made Lupa the butcher and invaded another shard we were like a throng of ants upon all their peeps attacking em makin lag from hell upon the shard we invaded, it too was a riot. :)

That wasn't an EM event...it was umm...another of Stuffa's ideas that I kinda got to help on...:D It was good times!
Kind of a spin off of the Barton invasions..lol
The best one was when we did the Santa Barton invasion on Origin..
Yew gate fel will never be the same after that horde of Bartons came pouring out the gate at them. Talk about mass suicide! Barton carcasses everywhere! :eek:

Nice idea. Might attract a lot of non-PvP people as well. But, how do you prevent a griefer guild from ruining the event?

That's perhaps the beauty of it...having 100s of newbies that have nothing to lose swarming and griefing the griefers :D

I'm in too!

OK,

How about anyone who is willing to provide supplies or healers chime in. Then based on response we pick a shard.

Im in for Chessy. Supplies and/or healers.
