King’s Reign Plan:
Back by (hopefully) popular demand, my reign plan is going to be driving one main point forward, bombastic and ridiculous. We are going to be experimenting with some ideas that I had the opportunity to implement during my time as Duke of Dragons Forge. My agenda is to give everyone something that can contribute to the kingdom, the game, and to the non-profit aspects of our organization.
This reign I plan on running several different style of events such as a Quest Write Up and Quest Item Creation competition, a Cooking competition with a battle game attachment to it (so everyone can be involved), we are currently working on a plan for homeless kit creation with an organization called the Blanche house here in Portland. The first Tournament we have isn’t one of fighting but a recurrence of the Best/Worst Garb Competition that I ran during my previous reign. Additionally, I plan on setting up a garb swap like we saw in King Brodar’s reign (more details will follow towards the end of the reign as we just had one almost six months ago).
As you will read, all of my officers have their own reign agenda. I am here mostly to support their plans in every way possible, however I do plan on doing some special battle games to warm people up during the cold winter months. Much like my last reign, I plan to incentivize holding level raids with a special reward in mind for the holding that comes out on top (more to come if I am elected). You’ll get a Cribbage tournament held during the reign with prizes in mind for it as well. Additionally, I hope to coerce the crown knights and master crowns into helping me run an Ithra for those interested in taking holding and kingdom officer positions. I want to use this reign to find ways to reduce the cost of admission to Winterbash and will get with the Autocrat of the event to figure some options out along with my wonderful team!
Lastly, I plan on making a personal visit to the Kingdom of Westmarch to do a Kingdom meet and greet (if possible) with some gifts from our kingdom (more information on that will happen if I am elected), however I’ll let all know when that is figured out and see if anyone wants to join me in that effort.
I have this reign plan stacked with events in mind for every type of player in the kingdom (Color, Peasant, Battle Gamer, Peerage, You name it!). How are we going to fit this all into one reign? I don't know! But we are going to do our damndest to try. I ask the people of Blackspire to be your king one last time and to get this ridiculous Winter Reign plan kicked off immediately after coronation!
Kingdom Regent Reign Plan:
My focus for this reign is to build up the community through communication and connection and praise. I am looking forward specifically to hearing from members of all holdings for at least one person to elevate from the masters of their crafts.
There will be a month-long Writing A&S that is digital and will specifically focus on submitting a writing, having a week for judges to read and give a bit of growth feedback, then another week for you to edit and adjust before final judging. (Writers Conference Style!)
I also am looking forward to at least one Kids Under 18 A&S event which focuses on improving our young generation. Additionally, I plan on running ‘Under 5’ and an ‘Over 6’ A&S competition. My plan for the Hydra trials this reign is to set the events as a ‘5 over 3’ event at the KLE we plan for Specter’s Gate in January. I’ll be helping facilitate Sir Opi’s plan for a Battle game cooking competition which will require teams to fight for ingredients for their meal during the January KLE, and at the February KLE, bring their creations to be judged based on the ingredients they won in January’s KLE!
I could use some help specifically for volunteers who'd like to run some the Ithra’ s during my reign. My goal is to have at least once every couple of weeks either an online Ithra for crafters that can be attended via discord or at the KLE’s themselves. Any who'd like to contribute or work on this are welcome to message me directly. Additionally, I plan on running some special Ithra regarding scribal work where we can.
Overall, I want to find ways to uplift our wonderful community and bring us closer together during my term serving you this reign. For any person who would like to reach out to help with this reign, please contact me! I'd love to work with you!
Champion Reign Plan:
My goal for this upcoming reign's battle games is to go back to basics for the Winter and play staple games such as King of the Hill, Ring the Bell, Capture the Flag and more in order to keep mechanics easy and allow players to show off prowess in their classes and work towards attaining Paragons. I also would love to work closely with our Kingdom Guildmasters on creating watchlists of players to keep an eye on for Paragons as well as assisting me in making the decision if players are up to that standard of play that would be considered Paragon level.
