Morgan - ONtario
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to bring hard core role play to the voyage north. More importantly, thank you for convincing me to come back. I would have regretted it FOREVER If I had given up on Biccoline. I am now addicted to Bicco like the rest of the rapscallions”
Andy - British Columbia
"Without every single one of the Ordo and our friends the trip wouldnt have been the same. This was my first vacation in a long time (I didnt get to half of what I wanted to do) and I now know how I will spend my vacation every year…. with the brave and valiant Ordo Cervi! For Victory or Death!"

"Meeting and seeing every single one of you do amazing things; from monster slaying, to trollball, to bread and butter. And finally to spend a week with my favorite people. From real life, and from Bico. I love you all."
Kerrie - Australia
Fought and healed on a battle field with 2000 other people. While healing I laid down on the ground, hid under my shield and pretended to be dead. And after the enemy had charged passed me and the person I was healing, we both got up and took out as many as we could before being killed. I took out their healer while she slit 4 soldiers throats. During a battle I again, hid under my shield and waited for the enemy to pass. They didn’t even check if I were dead or not so when their back was turned I took out three of them and walked back to my team alive.
Cassie - Connecticut
You are all so amazing and wonderful. I’m so grateful to have met all you talented people and I’m inspired to start working harder to just get to all of your levels of awesomeness. Seriously, to be surrounded by such talented and amazing people, I cried so hard on my drive home. You are all beautiful and I miss every single one of you. I can’t sit here and tell you which was the highlight of my week. It was all of it. Ugh, the tears. Ordo!
