I had no vested interest in this, however, I think it's important that we consider everyone's views before we come to a consensus about the validity of the page.

Furthermore a large rp event like this was bound to lead to the creation of hundreds of opinions and "breadcrumb trails" to the answer of what happened there and what the result was. If one roleplayer thinks that this battle should stay, so do I... No one here can say for certain that everyone in charge and involved decided to void this engagement A. because we are mostly anonymous and B. because there are people who were there that no longer roleplay.

Also, It would be pretty boring to have a history as detailed and rich as our community's is, without any memory of the battles that took place simply because everyone voided it or one side was sore about it... It would be a huge lore-break to ignore an event for one side's own purpose- especially when that side has icly been defeated. All that remains after the opinions are the facts.

For example, what if I were to ask the purposefully dumb question;

...I wonder if the Jacobites got to have a say in how history was written after Culloden?

The answer is of course they didn't those who we're victims of the genocide that followed, were shipped to the Americas. Anyone left moved to Ireland or the cities.

Or even if this event was voided and everyone who was there could be consulted on the matter, would it not be better to keep this for posterity's sake? So that ten years down the road two old friends can look back and go;

"oh yeah, that was a pointless battle... no one even won l0lz"

"Yeah, I had fun though, it was cool cause there was a ton of people there all fighting at once- like a real battle"

"Oh, yea, yea, yea remember so and so?"

"What he was an asshole?"

"No not Ramenhotep, that other guy"

"Oh right!  Prably the best rper i've ever met"
