Greetings! I don't know any of you personally, so I'm certain you don't know me. My name is Rhiannon and I am chieftain of the Welcrie, a mercenary group from northern Michigan. From a strictly RP standpoint, I suppose you would call us enemies (we have a lot of Celtic/Viking characters in our group)

But I wanted to address you guys out of character and this seemed to be the best place. I wanted to commend you as a group. I've observed over the last two Ragnaroks that you guys put up with a LOT of BS, far more than is called for. Especially during this last Rag... But through all the heckling and teasing your group has had to deal with, I have never witnessed anything but honor and tactfulness in response. That must require a level of patience I can only dream of!

So kudos to the entire group! You should not have to deal with the kind of crap you do. And after all the negative comments and especially bad heckling from this year, I wanted you guys to know that you made a heck of an impression. I certainly hope to meet a few of you in person!

Thank you so much Rhiannon!! You're more than welcome to come visit us anytime :)

thank you for your very kind words! :) it helps to imagine the heckling as just good role playing(really hoping that it is all just role playing lol).

I do not know about other groups, but as for the warband(the group I used to belong to) their heckling is just roleplaying. They all said it would be awesome for me to join you guys as they have a lot of respect for the way you play the game, and any heckling is just a viking vs templar roleplay

Hmm. well I dunno if i was too drunk and just posted that comment elsewhere mistakingly, but here goes again..

Warband? Who and when were you in Warband? I joined 2 years ago and like to have a good idea of who has been where I now tread.

On the topic at hand, aye, I have a lot of respect for the characterization and work that goes into all who I have seen from Templar camp, and the ways you take all that comes at you in stride. I've yet to see a single bad thing to be said of a Templar that isn't "In Character". You guys are champs.

Wilhelm I am/was Sazur the big guy who hosted the thyng at my house, chieftan of the steel hammer clan back when it existed, huskarl. I had a blind dog, cooked the food at most of our events. perhaps this pic will help, or this one(I am the guy in the middle)

Hoi there, I'd need only a name. I would never forget one that offered such hospitality, and shared of his mead. Good to see you're still in the game, your archery was top notch.
