The kingdom of Ascalon (K^A) is one of the oldest Guilds on this shard.
over the last 3 months we have been rebuilding our guild.
many old members are returning and we have been recruiting new members.
recently, i have been helping new players and old players build up resisting spells.
i decided on Resisting spells because i know this is a hard skill to raise.
these are some of the past public events i held.

lately, KA has been holding resist session without posting on the forums. we would have KA members go to town banks and invite new members to join our guild resist session for free.
after our free resist sessions we held a quick info session on our tower top.
a guild mate took screen shots and he hopefully will post them here.
with all that said, our next step in training is PvP
now, i am in no way good at PvP, i have a treasure hunter and a smith. (i have 2 char i build for capture the flag, but i havnt been at one in months. )
many of the returning KA members are good or have experience in PvP.
i remember reading guardianknights irc post "since when i KA a pk guild"
more old members are coming back.
we need to train new players pvp and hold pvp events.
can u guys help me out?

Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
Being a guildie I support this petition but not just for the simple fact that I am a guildie...
Prior to the resurgence of recent member growth of KA, Damascus has worked hard all alone to manage the logistics and running of a very worth while service to the populous of this server. He opens this service to all players of all play styles and turns no-one away, be they 733t PeeKay dudez or newbies, from his event (with the exception of but one guild known for griefing the event). I've never know Damascus to be outspoken, in fact I've learnt of him his humble and generous attitude in the short time I've been in KA - and to that end I cannot deny him his request and I trust that the many people that know him will probably feel the same way.
To build on our resist gain events, the plan now is to expand our contributions to the server by holding PvP classes aimed at educating, preparing and inducting players into a very valid playstyle which they may have neglected or avoided by choice, or not, for any number of reasons. We aim to provide a learning environment that fosters an attitude of unconditional positive-regard. We hope that top PvP players will make appearcances for master classes, but we do wish to cater for players of all PvP levels.
Ultimately we hope to aid more players to be ready for PvP, either in a attacking or survival capacity, so that if the day comes they will be more willing to either stand their ground during a gank or step into an arena along side the top players of this server. Broadening players' playstyles and attitudes can only help to grow the numbers on a battlefield or a tournament roster.
Just like the mYm duel pit, this isn't a simply frivolity to add to our township, it will serve a purpose of helping the current player base and potentially draw in new players onto the server that can become known for catering to all playstyles.

Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
Short Answer: No
Long Answer:
KA has been around for a long time, but they are exactly the reason why we need more controls over existing town add-ons, your guild has done NOTHING for the shard community in the last 3 months likely more, if you were to ask a player who joined this month who KA was they would likely have no idea, which is not the point of player additions,
I before I even consider giving my vote to this project I would need to see some new events being held by this guild, there are lots of pvp style tournaments and even more non-pvp related events that you can host! if you need any help please feel free to message me for some ideas I have over 20 sitting around, I digress...
Please host some events and try again in a month perhaps, get your name out, if I has not seen this I would not have even know about K^A comeback, and frankly Resist sessions are not events, they are macro orgys.
Cheers and good luck - Wise

Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
I live close to K^A town and I frequently make a run through to check things out. Your town is the reason why I voted no for mYm getting a duel pit! You have all these buildings and even roads and add-on walls connecting them, however no one is ever around actively using them.
It's a total waste of space. You have property all over the shard that I would love to use, but these places just seem to be lifeless place holders for you. And I can prolly count on one hand how many K^A I actually see playing. It's like one or two people are active and they just go around refreshing all their damn houses.
No! No! No! At least mYm would use thier duel pit. I wish the town of Ascalon as it is would be burned to the ground. If there are as active players as you say there are then a new town could spring up from the ashes.

Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
Thanks for the feedback Wise - true that our offerings aren't yet at the level of something that BlackFoot has done, but it's still early days and we just take you up on your offer of ideas 
I will not deny that some of our resist sessions can become afk macrofests, but not all! In fact some of the banter has been quite humorous and a lot of the newbies get ample help with their questions. Either way, does the mechanics of how the session works make it lesser a service to the players that choose to have resist for their toon?
Please be assured that we're not taking this petition lightly and we will be doing more in the way of a what you would call an event. And we certainly don't consider that being one of the oldest guilds entitles us to kickbacks.
Thanks for reading my walls of text and your potential YES vote!
You could say this about any guild in fact, but that's beside the point. The addon is not to grow our fame but for the reasons I have stated above.if you were to ask a player who joined this month who KA was they would likely have no idea

Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
I Like the way your made your request and to me that counts for alot .. but i have to agree with wise here ... your town may have to much right now for level current level of helpfulness . I don't remeber your town to well really .. but maybe for now you should wait a small bit more .. or maybe offer something up .. give up a reasonable dec. as a trade off ..maybe start well thought out thread like this one was .. stating why you need the pit more now then "said other item" and though you do like your town add on .. at this time the pit would really be better for the shard.. Hope that makes sense

Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
thanks for all the info and detailed feed back.
one thing, resisting spells might not be "an event" to most but it helps the community more then a PVP tournament.
lots of time is also needed, making sure no one acts up and kills everyone. think we have had 1 or 2 deaths in about 12 resist sessions (not all are posted on the forums)
i have watched some tournaments, never participated, and from what i have noticed these players at the tournaments dont need any help/ community help.
if the out come of this is to not allow us a dueling pit, its not the end of the world.
i look forward to trying help more new and old players the best i can.

Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
well damascus ran the escort thing witch was great ended at the tower one of the most fun guild events ive been too. vote yes . also its summer stupid k/a has been out enjoing SUMMER. not all sit behind the computer all SUMMER. 
Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
Wise you are about as dumb as a bag of rocks... K^A is one of the primary reasons this shard exists. You are one dumb POS Wise.
Re: K^A request for town add ons: Duel arena.
Eh... I kind of agree with his sentiment. I think they're the biggest guild on the shard, and I saw one event from them (a resist session) back in the summer. That's it. And on top of that, they're one of the more obnoxiously punkish groups on here. I've never seen so many people jump in on fights, pick fights and then turn and run after the very first swing back at them, etc.
