DC got seriously cockblocked from emp today, I'm pretty happy. Not that I like congratulating my enemies but Roe held out pretty good despite apparently very little EP being around, while we ninjaed ale and ash.
@Agrippa_Invisus That does not mean you guys get to get emp back though
Also, lol at only 2 DC defending the chim scroll the ENTIRE way... then having 20+ defend glade. lolwut

Brace for it… the fight's not over .
I'll be there and bring my whopping 1 FPS with me!
Will you be there, or were you there?
Nymeria was deposed while I was at work, sadly.
I contented myself by holding Roebeck against the blue hordes until we could start back capping things.
Emperor farming is easy. Just imagine two guilds AD and EP.What Bloodvax was saying is what has happened to me and i'm dumbfounded as to why I should stop killing the enemy. I still don't understand what Emperor farming is all about.. sorry.. just having a blond moment.

Nice job with that BTW. Sorry some of AD kept attacking you there. As I've said I'm not going to make a deal with the enemy, but that was just strategically stupid of them at that point when Roe was the only keep DC didn't hold in the emp ring.
You guys held out long enough for us to ninja Aleswell and Ash from DC and stop them from taking Emp.
To whoever it was in this thread that accused us (I believe the comment was directed at us) of not defending our keeps: by taking the northern keeps we are helping you defend the keeps. When we pull a zerg of 60 up to Aleswell by attacking it, where do you think they come from?
They weren't twiddling their thumbs in the woods until we attacked Aleswell - they were sieging you at Alessia and Faregyl. If the rest of the AD force on the server can't defend one keep while about 20 of us distract a force of 60 DC… well then AD is screwed here.

We should probably move our discussion there and quit hijacking this one…

Emperor farming by inviting the enemy into your keep for tea is pretty shady and cowardly. The only sure way of stopping that is spreading out the pop a bit.

I've never had a problem with letting people pass you or dropping from the campaign once deposed. Those are personal choices.
Deliberately sabotaging your own defenses or refusing to fight for your crown breaks every spirit of competition that exists in this game.
We're a hardcore guild
Because Casuale doesnt want to lose his guesting buffs for Wabba? Pretty obvious reason why, and it was never a threat besides the other AD guy that was getting to high on the board for his liking.
DC wasnt a threat.

How can he be guesting on Wabba if his guildmates just said he plays 20+ hours a day on Hopesfire?
So, what you're really upset about is when the factions gang up to rule the server, which isn't even what we were talking about. Yes, I agree with you there. There is something unfair about that, but then there are a bunch of servers out there. For every one where it's AD dominated there's one that is DC dominated
and one that is EP dominated.
No what I am upset about is that I try to play on a balanced server and go up against groups of a half a dozen or more former emps who have an advantage over me simply because they gamed the system.
Do you also QQ when a group of impulse spammers kill you because they too game the system by unilaterally using nothing but the most OP abilities?
How about when someone like my team finds your invis group of 20, immediately sets up one meatbag and 8 fire balistas; and fire at the same time? Would you also be QQing about gaming the system?
The greatest exploit in this game will always be coordination, whether you straw man it in emperor, communications, etc. Everyone QQ's about coordination and organized pvp every moment they get.
LEEWELLS's Law of PVP: The more coordinated a PVP team becomes, the infinitely more QQ and butt hurt that will exist outside said team.
Have you seen a single QQ post from me on any of those things? You see that is actually PvPing. The thing I am "QQ" about is a mechanic that encourages people to not PvP.

Please explain to me how 40,000g over a period of 3 months encourages people to pvp.
Wait, it doesn't does it? Ok, then, explain to me how one person playing 24/7 for 8 weeks straight pulling 3,000,000 ahead of the 2nd person in line for emp whilst refusing to drop emp encourages others to play. Oh wait. It doesn't, does it?
The simplest way to put this is, while people have hope that they can achieve emperor, there is a reason to PVP. When someone locks up the title, refuses to pass it down and prevents anyone else from challenging him/her, THAT makes people not want to PVP and it is just that simple.
This is indeed AvA with a personal leaderboard. If people in the top 100 have nothing but prestige to look forward to, then what's the point? Its not like PVP gear is so much better than PVE (it sucks actually and visually).
Let me summarize with a request. Tell me how hoarding emperor encourages people to play. Tell me how anything in this game besides the emperor passives encourages anyone in this game to PVP other than to measure manhood.
I'll be right here waiting for that answer.

pre-arranged 8v8's can for sure be a ton of fun - that's where some folks find their fun
others find TONS of fun in sieging or defending keeps, outposts and resources held by other players and the MANY other things to be done pvp-wise in cyrodiil
it's why i just used the one word of 'fun' without putting in just my interpretation of it - that would be too presumptuous of me to define that what is fun for me must be fun for others, and what isn't fun for me isn't fun for others
people typically play mmo's for fun, and typically leave when they cease having fun - since folks are still playing in cyrodiil it's not a stretch to assume that many are still having fun, no matter what form their own definition and sense of it is

It's tough to argue that Alacrity isn't one of, or the strongest guild on all servers. That said, hardcore seems like a stretch, to me. To me, the definition of a hardcore guild would be one who said what server they were going to, prior to campaign shift, and fought against the other good guilds, not ruled over an empty server like it seems you do, and have prior, as others are alleging now.

I understand your point and I see you're pointing out hopes fire saying that. I don't know if you play on wabbajack but we've been holding emperor there for almost 8 days and I think (maybe I'm wrong) wabbajack is currently the most populated server.
