A neatly scripted flyer can be seen hanging near other advertisements for The Tournament Of Kins, It reads as follows: Event: 1st Tournament Conditioning Time: 10pm (server time) Date: July 29th Where: Tournament Grounds (Training ring in Theramore behind the tavern, and across from the keep) All combatants are encouraged to prepare and practice for the main event! The training grounds will be open July 29th at 10 bells for the first conditioning event. Come hone your skill, and size up your opponent! Or just watch and have a social time with others who have gathered. (( Please take some time and go over the Combat system we will be using so you are familiar with it. At the event's start, there will be a demonstration of the system with a spar between two people already familiar with the system, and a chance for everyone to ask any questions they have before everyone can begin ICly practicing for the tournament with each other. If you can't make this event do not worry there will be several conditioning events designed to lead up to the tournament and get everyone used to the system between now and then. I am also available in game for private spars/ to explain how the system for those who can't make the conditioning events or are eager to learn.)) As always if you have any questions please feel free to contact Rasmira or Novurix ( I am available in game, discord, these forums, or my guild's website)

((I added a link to the entry form that is on the kinships website, so you are able to fill it out, and turn it in either by forum message here, in game mail, or replying to the post ON THE GUILD'S WEBSITE! please don't post entry form information on this post so I can keep everyone who has signed up organized. This way no one has to wait around to 'find' a kinship member in game to sign up. Thank you! ))

Registration for the Tournament Of Kins is now open!! The rest of this month there will be open registration to enter into the Tournament of Kins!

You can RP getting one from a member of the kinship by contacting one of us in game, or you can take a form that is ICly attached to the advertising flyer) Each participant will be using the simple turn by turn roll style combat system the Kinship uses in our RPs (( Guide to The Kinship's combat system )) No level, class, or race restrictions! Open event to any who wishes to join! Spectators are welcome (So long as no one is disrupting the actual tournament, please RSVP if you plan to attend and watch by letting Rasmira or Novurix know via whisper, or in game mail.)

Several precursor events will take place between now and the tournament (Each event will be posted on the forums with their date/time) Open registration (Till July 31st) 2-3 conditioning events hosted at the tournament grounds ( Where everyone can practice, spar as well as learn and practice using the combat system that will be used.

oh goody, I got the day right! wanted to make sure everyone knew when it was lol

I just wanted to add that I spoke with Nik about this and I THINK the event will be Sunday, July 8th. but don't take my word for it please get in contact with them to ensure its the proper date! ((sorry if I am wrong!!))

I read this post and see that it is now in the TOU that it "disallows any large-scale, organized collaboration between opposite factions on all of our servers" I understand what it means and agree with it in most cases like the ones listed for using cross collaboration to hold a world boss or something. I am a role player and have a RP guild on Darrowshire alliance side. Would cross-faction RP fall under that category so long as no groups involved (horde or alliance) attempt to hold, or are actively holding a monopoly on world boss spawns or any other PVE content? Surprisingly I've had a lot of interest with cross-faction RP or if I will allow Horde to join in events I run alliance side. So just want to check to make sure that doesn't count as Cross Faction Collaboration .

AAAHHHHH! I love this, I did an event like this with Kinship (on retail) where the guild went to each faction leader for approval/support. I would be happy to help any way I can... but...erm.... what day? unless I missed it all I see is the time, not a date, I hope I didn't miss it!

That is up to Nikaela , I know it isn't the same tavern night <Solstice> would run. Someone else just wanted to bring back a tavern night. She picked Sunday at 2 am server time but I am unsure if that is going to be a set event that will be every Sunday at 2 am server time or not. I was told it was kinda a trial run thing and she would see how the turn out was, and go from there but from what I heard it was a lot of fun so I'd Message her to find out, but if I find out sooner I'll let you know!

Thanks a bunch! and I am so sorry I missed the tavern night, but family first. I posted about it for <The Kinship> and I hope some of them were able to make it. However.. I heard great things and will do my best to make the next one!

OOC: Date: Monday, July 3rd Time: 10 pm server time Where: at the midsummer bonfire in elywnn forest (right across from the lion's pride inn) Directions at event start: please whisper rasmira for raid/party invite, or ask ICly or OOCly in chat for an invite. Raid/party chat will be OOC. THE FIRE RITUAL This will be the kinship's first RP event we host for the public and it will be hosted once a month. The Fire Ritual is a serious, symbolic RP event where characters will have a chance to metaphorically let go of something from their past that they feel is holding them back, or negatively affecting them in some way. This is not a cure all and is only metaphorical and symbolic. Everyone will be allowed to come up to the flames (Called one at a time by Rasmira so it is done orderly and there are not multiple people trying to talk over each other), and explain what it is they want to let go of (a person, a thing, a feeling or emotion, a memory, etc) They can then toss an item into the fire to burn, symbolically getting rid of the negative association and allowing the person to move forward in life without being held back. only those who WANT to go up will go up, people are welcome to just come watch, and listen. If you plan on going up please make sure you have the following ready. -what you want to leave in the past (It can be an item that is representative or symbolic of it or, if it's a thought, feeling or emotion, you are welcome to RP having it written on a piece of parchment and tossing that into the fire.) -if you wish to speak about it, make sure you have the idea thought out. Remember, this is a serious and symbolic RP event and is to be treated as such. Please be respectful of your fellow RPers and bystanders. Depending on how many people attend the event it is estimated to take about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. Could be more or less depending on how many show up, and how in depth it gets. Apologies for the short notice on the event! ICly: *A flyer can be seen posted at various cities and towns, it reads in delicate handwriting* The Kinship is to host their first Fire Ritual on the eve of July 3rd at 10 bells, Come join us as we surrender what is holding us back to the flames, and from the ashes move forward! Everyone will be gathering at the midsummer bonfire in Elywnn Forest.

Ill be there and post it on my guilds calendar :) looking forward to rping with you!

Greetings again to all the RPers! I have heard many times since I joined that there is all this "talk" of RP, but no action. So this is just a small notice that soon (date and time are TBD) <The Kinship> will be hosting three events that will be open to the public. They are all still in the planning stages but I wanted everyone to know they have some things to look forward too. The Ritual Of Fire: This is a symbolic RP event that will be hosted monthly, allowing characters to step up to the flames and let go of the past, and "from the ashes move forward". The Tournament of Kin's: (Yeah a lil cheesy play on words but I like a lil whimsey!) this is an RP combat tournament that will utilize the kinship's combat roll system, the same system we will use during our RP combat encounters during guild plots and story lines. There will be a gold prize to the overall victor. This event will take much more time and planning than the previously mentioned events so be patient! This will also have several smaller mini-events that will take place as well, such as registering for the tournament on your character, being assigned a number etc. Tournament Conditioning: This is an event that will be a precursor to the actual Tournament Of Kin's that will give everyone interested in participating a chance to RP practicing for the event, as well as a chance OOC to experience and learn how the combat system works. This way we do not run into the issue of someone not understanding something and having to pause the whole event or slow it down to explain. I hope everyone will enjoy the events and once I get a set date and time for each I will be posting more detailed information on the forums, the discord channel, and on the guild website (In a section viewable by non-guild members). I am available at any time to answer any questions you have about any of these future events, so if you are not sure of something, or have a question don't hesitate to ask! Contact Info: In game: Rasmira, Novurix Discord: Rasmira#0299 web site: https://kinship.apexmega.com/ or you can always just leave a comment!

haha well, that might be a cool idea for a horde guild but i finally choose Darrowshire for my guild, which is alliance. However, tauren are tied for my fav horde race, So I understand your desire for supremacy and you have my full support! :)

AH HA!! I found one that works. AF_Tooltip will work with OwlRSP and display character's guild name on the tooltip.

I just did, and sadly, same thing. It works great when I dont have OwlRSP enabled. Soon as i turn it on though, it doesnt work.
