Can we have an European Thornblade (EU) topic?

RensDG

The more bananas are talking of a purple alliance, the more i actually feel like doing so.

If only people would work together within the pact. Then we actually could let the bananas feel what a purple alliance is. Then they would know there wasn't an Alliance in the first place.

And the only reason why the Bananas won twice on Auriels bow is cause they were the ones night capping. Just like the pact was doing so (1 or 2) campaigns before.

My dearest Smurf friends,

you seem to be confused regarding the current location of your lost scroll. Is your GPS out of order again ? Let me help you: The scroll rests at a place called Arrius. That's neither Roebeck nor Alessia, though it starts with the same letter as the latter.

For your convenience I have marked the location ( lighter shade of blue ) and the shortest route there from your home territory ( darker shade ) on the map:



Hope that will be enough for you to find your way.

xoxo, a concerned Banana

PS: Keep on Smurfin'.

I love how you are quick to point this out, but at the same time prove there is no alliance by the very fact EP have DCs scroll. They took that scroll along with Warden and Glade while AD were trying to take Rayles. If they were indeed our ally wouldn't they have gone for AD's scrolls and not ours? You also don't see EP taking Dragon ? What lovely allies we have.


Some of you guys really are Bananas.

Not been on in days

But my, this topic got salty! So bitter, so many tears. AD really do love a whinge.

Well it's been a crazy night! GF all!

More evident of purple alliance.
Blue don't want to take back their scroll which is just next door but instead attack roe.
Red capture faregly so that blue can get emperor.

You just missed one thing in your story. We let the smurfs to go for emperorship while we were pushing to bring our scroll back to home. Scroll you got because you and our allies were camping the north-east side. Perhaps our allies were there to help us but in this case, they are the most sucking allies anybody would love to have.

And by the way Pact is fighting buffed guest all the time so really don't care if there is a blue emperorship for a couple of hours.

Well, this night was interesting.. I have some screenshots as well.





Look at all the ebonhearth pact notifications in the chat, they constantly kept hitting us while blue taking all the inner circle keeps for emperor.

And I really wonder did any blue group paid some gold to reds for keeping us busy at faregyl, bb and bm.

Also thanks to Zeni for their *** servers, crashed 5 times in an hour.

Look a second time at your map. Do you see the stange stick in Faregyl ? No ? Once again.This is our scroll. Do you think we were keeping you busy or were a little bit raging to have lose our scroll ?

The continous tears of some AD turn into a very ridiculous thing.

Soris

You could ask nicely, im sure we would give it to you very gently. No need to team up with other faction. And it was funny to watch, there were very little blue presence when you on the way to the temple with your scroll.

edit: and I think they were there only to guard you lol

wow, red got blue to guard their scroll

Sorry, we don't ask to take back what belongs to us.

You EP and DC players are funny. Just admit that you don't attack each other as much as you attack the AD. Its so obvious to everyone and the more you deny it the more you lose credibility. Since my group 'The Rat Pack' ganks regularly where opportunities exist I must make known some observations:

There is far less traffic between Chalman and Aleswell than BRK and Allesssia or Roebeck and Ash. WHY? Because you guys hardly attack each other...... thats why. We do gank some players ups there for sure, but not nearly the amount of traffic exists there as in the south.

I add this to all the other evidence that has been presented so far about either a underhanded or tacit alliance between EP and DC.

Further... if you did not gang up on us so much we would own both EP and DC completely. So the purple alliance keeps it competitive... we shall see who the best is in a few days. But I already know the answer to that one..

The Alessia fight was very fun, Decided not to go Kings straight away and help out a tad

The map is very red at the moment, And most likely gonna be fully red when everyone wakes up

Fun, but frustrating. Had to hold the DC server to def emp with one small group... while MANY other AD decide to farm at Farragut for the night while we loose our back keeps. Good Job AD -.-

As always; opportunistic DC strike again xD

synnerman

Lets get this straight , you yellows say there is a purple alliance when for the last 2 weeks you and blues have been in the NE corner of the map and attacking Arrius from both sides????? is that what youre saying?
It must be the fact that most yellows must be schoolkids that only see the map for 3 hrs a night before mommy tells them to switch off.

What do you mean inb4? Have you read the last 12 pages, they are all purple alliance talk XD

Btw we couldn't have picked a worst day for the Arena tournament lol

Turelus

As one of the main EP raid leaders last night I will explain from my side the tactics involved and why you think you see "purple alliance".

We were doing a nice days worth of fighting, with the scroll finally out of Arrius it meant attention was away from our home keeps and we could push out to assault elsewhere.
Eventually we got beaten back by Shido and Initiation's groups working flawlessly together as they always do, we lost all our scroll guarding keeps and both gates went open.
I took my group north to guard the scroll of Chim and the other TeamSpeak raid as well as raids not on TS went south for Ghartok. My group held well against both AD and DC groups trying to break through while the main AD raids broke through and stole the Ghartok scroll.

Once the scroll was secured by the AD in the south we had our chance to fight back, all attention on the map was now on Faregyl and Alessia, the former having a scroll and the later the last keep needed for DC to take Emperor.

Using the fact most attention was focused on those two places I took my raids (under the advice of a senior raid leader) through Kingscrest, Arrius, Drakelowe, Bloodmayne, Black Boot then finally went on to push Faregyl for our scroll.

Now the AD had only two important keeps left and needed to make choices on where to send their forces. This is the situation we (the EP) have suffered a lot recently with the DC scroll being in Arrius. When you have a high priority target you get stuck playing defence on that target losing everything else on the way.

Now to answer some questions, free to ask more.

Why don't you attack DC and push them all the way back?
Because right now DC don't have much chance to win the campaign and catch up, so keeping AD points down gives us (EP) more chance to win the campaign.

Do you talk with DC members?
Yes, we also talk with AD members, this is normally in the form of friendly jabs and jokes about killing one another. On rare occasions intel on the third faction gets shared, this is done by all sides AD, EP, DC.

LegendaryMage

I don't know who'll win Thornblade since I'm not playing on it for a few days now, but I can tell you we (AD) have a good chance of winning the first pvp tournament.

I admit we don't attack DC as much as AD. This may have something to do with AD having the largest and most organised groups (trains) in the campaign which are far more successful in capturing our keeps than the DC groups.

Bushrat wrote: »

Once again you're corrects about this. Most of the EP forces are normally defending BRK from Shido's vastly superior raids then Chalman from DC's groups. We also tend to lose Chalman to DC on a regular basis but even after a recapture are rarely successful in the capture of Aleswell. Mainly due to needing to devote too many resources south to BRK again.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. There are no formal agreements, no secret chats or meetings. This simple is the nature of a game with multiple parties fighting, if one force is superior (AD) then the others will focus less on one another in order to fight the stronger entity.

Bushrat wrote: »

Thank you for proving that all my comments above are correct reasoning as to why we focus on beating the AD back more than each other.


The interesting thing about all the purple, green, orange alliance comments and how it's underhanded, sneaky, dishonourable and unfair is that when two factions work together it's a game mechanic working as intended.

Let's say that the situations were reversed, than EP had the most organised groups and the strongest guilds. Wouldn't you understand as an AD member than the smarter course of action would be to not push DC who are suffering the same, but to push against the EP.

I will again say, none of what you see is an alliance forged on paper, in meetings or conversation. It's just an understanding that pushing against a weaker opponent while the stronger one burns everything behind you isn't a tactically smart choice.
Next campaign ask Shido and Initiation to leave for another campaign with their groups and I am pretty sure we will see a "green alliance". As (and no offence to DC) the EP are the second most organised faction right now.

Nice try, but we dont have our home keeps there! If you take a look on the other screenshot, you can clearly see that DC already have ash, and it would make more sense to push for EP

You make a valid point.... and I do appreciate what you have done to explain your actions in other posts. I for one like the friendly jabs and jokes....HOWEVER...maybe you are not participating in the said alliance, but it would seem that some in your alliance are. I have said this before: that I don't think the majority of players are in on the purple alliance, but a few people seem to be and some cross guild chats have revealed that previously. I can tell you that its not been an easy campaign when you look at the map and you rarely see ANY action at the top of the map even when EP holds a DC scroll, they still attack us.. or vise versa. We do have some elements in our faction that go and do some crazy things like take a keep way behind enemy lines for farming purposes and to alleviate pressure of our home territory.... and I am sure your faction has people that do that too. But that cannot account for the near complete lack of fighting between EP and AD.

Consider this: many AD players attribute the hatred some EP and DC players have against AD down to several reasons:

1. The AD faction were portrayed as real *** in Skyrim and some people just hate High Elves because of it.
2. Many EU players like to play Nords for cultural reasons and Dark Elves for the fire resistant trait to be Vampires.
3. The map is skewed to have AD in the middle and south causing a physiological effect that draws enemies to attack the center south all the time.
4. Some enemies hate SH**O because he is extremely successful and don't want him to win.


Search your heart EP and DC players... you may find a kernel of truth in what I have said.
