Chaos Wars is an event that is completely run by volunteers who share a common passion for Belegarth, sword play, and the meeting and interacting with medieval enthusiasts from all walks of life. Please be respectful and understand that the process of coordinating an event as large and exciting as Chaos Wars requires the time and commitment of a dedicated few individuals. While it is the hard work of coordinators that makes this event possible, it is the attendance of the people who participate and enjoy Chaos Wars that makes this event a true success. The easiest way you can show your support of the coordinators' efforts is to be apart of the fighting and activities throughout the week and to play fair and have a great time.
Thank you, and we hope to see you at Chaos Wars 15!

Thank you Sare


Thank you Aphex.

Isn't there a site for making those countdown things? I thought I remembered making them web myspace was around.

Yeah, but a lot of those sites are sketchy. I'd rather someone make me a cool Belegarth or Chaos Wars related one.

I see. I'll talk to some of my people and see if they can do it. I'm not a web master.

How much is pre-reg going to cost?

MOD EDIT: it's $30

most likely $30 though Dopp is the one to really answer that question.

When will minors waivers become available? I am thinking of bringing some younger guys and the sooner we can get to work on these the better (as it could take a wile).

The adult waiver's text says:

The Undersigned releases Belegarth MCS, Highlands of Chaos, the owners of The Silverbell Ranch, where the event and tournaments, contests and meetings will occur, and any other participant of Chaos war thirteen individually, from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions and causes of actions, arising out of or related to any loss, damage or injury, including death, that may be sustained by the Undersigned, or any property of the Undersigned, while participating in any of the activities, events, tournaments, contests or meetings that Chaos Wars participates, sponsors, attends or supervises.

*, I tried to get all of those.

Isn't the Assassins Tournament supposed to be run by the person who won it last year, i.e. Lady Rose of Shannara? I know she is planning and plotting and possibly scheming about it, has been since the end of C.W. 14.

Corrected

POW!

not sure if it has been posted elsewhere and I just missed it but I am totally willing to volunteer for Troll again this year as is Dashalin....would you be so kind as to schedule he and I to work troll together so I may torment him with my presence? Kidding aside we would dig working troll together

Better poster!

edit: it's up yonder ^ now.

**** yeah.

epic, thanks for ruining my medieval experience, in a good way

I've had some questions about preregistration for those who cannot attend the entire event.

Standard registration is 40$ for the week. Monday - Saturday.

Because of the large number of people who attend this event both preregistered and those who pay onsite, it is too complicated to deal with mail, filing waivers and tracking specific payments coordinated to the arrival dates for individuals.
Similar to how like Chaos Wars has done in the past, the event fee declines 10$ for each day you are absent after Wednesday. Down to 10$ for Saturday only. Friday is a big battle/nightlife day and Saturday has a feast.
This discount only goes one way so if you register for example on Wednesday but skip Thursday or Friday it's still 40$. Leaving early does not constitute a refund.
Keep it simple is the rule here.


tldr:
If you cannot make the entire event don't preregister.
There is no advantage to it if you are arriving later than Wednesday. Instead register at Troll when you arrive.

Or,

Do preregister and thank you for your donation.

BUMP FOR NEW STUFF AND THINGS

I guess i need clarification. We are planing on attending thursday friday and saturday there is 2 adults (one is fighting) and 4 children. How much are you asking us to pay to attend????

Salutations!

Who would I contact for information about being a merchant at this fine event? Are there any specific rules or conditions for merchanting?

The two adults will both have to register and pay $30 if arriving Thursday.
Children are free.
Everyone needs a waiver when you register.


As posted earlier: See bold.

i THINK you can just sell whatever you like since it's a private property and a private party. last year some of use were selling/trading things and it wasn't a problem at all. I would ask at troll where the best place to set up a tent or something is. also, pm Elwrath or Cedric just to double check since they are coordinators.

should be just fine man. We'd love to get some merchants but we are really laid back about that kind of stuff, so ya. good luck.

TOOT TOOT
PRE REG CLOSED ON FRIDAY

The CW T shirt Design:

This years colors are Blue, White, and Silver. Our two guest musical artists, D Poetica (Aphex) and The Dirty Words (Sare and his band) are the symbols in the bottom left and top right corners. Silhouettes for the Fighters are Paksha (blue) and Alexii (white.) I'm not sure who took that original picture but it's a reversed version of one from the best of the best picture thread. Chaos Star is the bottom right. The letters are Greek numbers for CW15, 2011.

Enjoy.

Sweet design!!

Yes. Acorn is the very template of awesome.
