HOW TO SIEGE FOR BANDIT STRONGHOLD CLAN HALL

STAGE I - REGISTRATION

• Date: Friday, October 13
• RegistrationTime: 19:00 GMT (20:00 GMT+1) (14:00 EST)
• Start Time: 20:00 GMT (21:00 GMT+1) (15:00 EST)

• ONLY the first FIVE clans to sign up with 18 CLAN MEMBERS registered are allowed to compete in the battle to win Bandits Stronghold.
• Registration begins 1 hour BEFORE the battle at 20:00 GMT, so registration begins at 19:00 GMT.
• All 18 clan members meet at Bandits Stronghold at 18:30 GMT, so as to make sure we are ready to register at 19:00 GMT, because it the first five clans to have all members registered are only ones allowed to participate.

• In order to register we are supposed to be presented with two choices:
  1. Pay a fee of 200,000 adena - we are now registered and just have to wait until the gates to the Stronghold open at 21:00
  2. Clan Leader does a quest - if I must do the quest, I must kill tarlk basilisks, tarlk bugbears, oel mahums, etc in the area surrounding Bandits Stronghold. This will obviously take some time (about 20 minutes supposedly), so I prefer to pay the 200k adena if we have that choice.
• After we pay the adena or complete the quest, ALL 18 MEMBERS OF THE TWO PARTIES MUST BE REGISTERED IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE. This is VERY IMPORTANT. If *any* of the 18 members do not register we will be unable to participate (and it is the first 18 registered - we are not allowed to unregister. So we must ensure that we have the RIGHT people registered first time around).
• The first five clans to sign up are going to be the five clans that can participate. This can be to our advantage or disadvantage.
• If some same-alliance clans sign up that dont have a clan hall, and they're going to allow one of the other clans to take the hall with no PVP, and only kill the non-allies that have already signed up, we are in for certain death since it will be up to 18x4=72 vs only our 18.

STAGE II - GATES OPEN AND WE BUFF

• Once the gates are open at 20:00 GMT we have five minutes to enter inside the gates and to buff two full parties of 9.
• We must have the parties made before entering and we must know exactly which party member to buff with what buffs (so as not to overbuff or waste time). Five minutes is NOT a long time to buff, so we must know exactly what we are going to do ahead of time.

STAGE III - BATTLE THE COMPETING CLANS FOR A CHANCE TO WIN THE CLAN HALL

• At 20:05 GMT the area inside the gates changes to a PVP zone.
• Anyone that is NOT registered and is inside Bandit Stronghold at this time gets booted out of the zone and ported away.
• The gates close.
• If any individual that registered is not inside the PVP zone when the gates close, they CANNOT RE-ENTER.
• Five Oel Mahum Witch Doctors will spawn - one for each clan participating.
• Each Oel Mahum Witch Doctor has about 150x-200x normal HP, and are between level 65-70. They have increased magic and physical resistance and are weak to nothing. Each is much like a mini-raid boss.
• Each Oel Mahum Witch Doctor has a clan crest.
• WE MUST KEEP THE DOCTOR THAT HAS OUR CREST ON IT ALIVE AT *ALL* COSTS OR WE LOSE THE EVENT, AND ARE BOOTED IMMEDIATELY. In order to win, we must destroy EVERY other clan's Oel Mahum Witch Doctor.
• We must defend our Oel Mahum Witch Doctor against all other clans, as well as try to destroy every other clan's Oel Mahum Witch Doctor.
• Note that if an Oel Mahum Witch Doctor has no crest on it, that means there is no clan signed to defend it (less than five clans registered) and we should ignore it until the other opposing clan(s) have been destroyed.

STAGE IV - REST AND REBUFF

• After destroying the last of the opposing forces, when there is only one clan left standing, the PVP zone ends.
• If we have been victorious to this point, we have about 5 minutes to rest and rebuff. This is NOT alot of time, so we must be prepared to rebuff quickly.
• The outer gates remain closed.
• The clan that owns the hall (OrdoTenabrarum) is inside the little building (inner clan hall).
• The doors to the inner clan hall cannot be opened at any time until Stage V begins.

STAGE V - BATTLE THE CURRENT BANDIT STRONGHOLD OWNERS AND WIN THE CLAN HALL FOR CAELESTIS

• The doors to the inner clan hall opens.
• It is now our 18 clan members against 18 OrdoTenabrarum members.
• Once again, one Oel Mahum Witch Doctor spawns for each clan.
• The goal is the same as in Stage III - destroy the opposing clan, and kill their Oel Mahum Witch Doctor.
• If we suceed, we win the clan hall. If not, OrdoTenabraruml keeps it for another 2 weeks.
