Oh yes! The Sword of Agot will be there for the taking, but it shouldn't be
the only thing to focus on...afterall, if you hack all of your opponents to
bits, there really is not need for the Sword. AND, the Sword will *not* be
so powerful that should someone get, the game is over. What I'm thinking
here - and this is just an idea - is that each team come up with some sort
of power or side affect for the sword. There will also be at least one
negative affect. Each one of these powers will be assigned a number(s) and
so when it is used, you will not necessarily get the desired outcome
(afterall, you haven't been cleansed, have you, hmmm?)
As for the castle/Ancient's Keep, I have an idea of something mountain-like
at the base with pieces of castle poking out the higher you get. This is
the main thing that I think would need multiple people to build...it's also
a call for BURPs and POOPs. It should definitely engourage warfare on and
around its surface.

See above.

Yes, 1000 CP per team, but, again, we can alter that count, if you think
that's best. The idea is to have large armies...troops, magic folk,
ballistae and the like. I would be fine with increasing the total count.

Hmmm, I don't seem to recall the conversation you're referring to, but I
actually wrote the story before the weekend. I created 'Agot' by taking the
first letter of each word from the book I'm currently reading: A Game of
Thrones (by George R. R. Martin - it's remarkable). And, yes, it would be
cool to have something as you or I have described in the center of our
Little Earth.

Ahh, cool :) Yeah, that's more or less what I thought would be cool-- the sword is really helpful, but if you're restricted to running up to enemies and slashing them, it doesn't prevent you from being killed along the way or whatever.
