PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU SEND AN RTJ:  As the scope of the game will be quite broad, I am looking for players who can post a minimum of once a week under normal circumstances - if you can't manage this week by week, then please don't apply. I realise real life takes precedence, but failing to post at least once every seven days should be rare, and the result of exceptional circumstances only.

I would also expect that players (and myself, of course) let everyone know if they are going to be unable to post at a normal rate for a time. Players who are holding up others by not posting regularly, and not explaining that they are unable to post, will receive a warning, and will ultimately be removed from the game if such actions continue.

Due to the PvP nature of the campaign, the disappearance of a player has the potential to greatly inconvenience the flow of the game for those who remain. If you can't commit as a player to ruling over your clan holding long-term, this isn't the game for you.

---

If this all sounds reasonable enough, please briefly detail in your RTJ your previous gaming experience, and the main reason this game appeals to you. Please do not send me a completed character sheet with your RTJ - the rules for character creation are a special variant and will be given at the start of the game. Final selection of players for the five warlords will be made by the 10th of April. Unsuccessful applicants will also be notified as a courtesy.

Obviously, I have designed the five clan holdings to be balanced in terms of pros and cons at the start of the game, but nevertheless, preference for a particular holding will be strictly on a first come, first served basis, with the successful applicant who sent the earliest RTJ being allowed first pick of the clan holdings. The other players will then select their clans in the order in which they applied, with the fifth player being assigned the last remaining holding.
