I'm really not a troll...

I just would likt to know, an my 6 hour search revealed nothing.

What was the cause for the dag/belegarth split.

All the responses I can find are "if they wanna know they can use the search function" and things like that, well I did use it, and can't locate any info.

Or, "lets just forget about it move on" . I don't know what happened, but I don't think forgeting it is the way to fix anything. If it was big enough to cause the split, then it wust have been worth it. I just want to make sure, what ever it was, I don't repeat it.

If what I ask is considered a taboo subject, then please. E-mail it to me. My e-mail is in my profile.

you are asking a question that many want answered, and few have the answer to.

Put as simply and objectively as is possible, in an effort to protect their service mark on the name Dagorhir and all related intellectual property (IP; such as the original Dagorhir Handbook), the Dagorhir Board of Directors (BoD) requested that any group wishing to continue to use the Dagorhir SM and IP sign a legally binding contract regarding their use. The former Dagorhir groups that chose not to sign this contract, for whatever reason(s), instead formed a new game known as Belegarth.

It would be very difficult, unpleasant, and ultimately counter-productive to attempt a detailed description of the events that lead to the separation of Belegarth from Dagorhir. In simplest terms, it was largely caused miscommunication and mistrust among the leadership of both groups, which was made far worse by heavy reliance on bulletin boards and emails to discuss issues that should have been discussed over the phone, if not in person. Ultimately, both groups did what they thought was best for their game at the time, and in the end went their separate ways.

Best description of it ever, Winfang.

[Staef Banner]

You mean the Chapter contracts? So belegarth doesn't have those?

[IKE]

Nope, no contracts. Think of Belegarth as open source.

Cool, thank you.
