"Thirdly out numbering happens I get that I really do, take a good look at the graph pancake just posted. That is pretty extreme in any spin you want to possibly try to put on it. I was ok when we woke up to night cap and it was only emp but when it's 3 bars v 1 bar v 1 bar on a regular basis and you are 20k up on the score board then you decide to take 4 scrolls it's extremely poor sportsmanship that only drives players away from the game. Then DC/AD log into no home keeps, a population disadvantage and EP has scroll/keep buffs along with a 20k point lead. Put yourself in our shoes? how would you feel if this happened every 2nd night."

So if 60 DC are at Bleakers, and only 20 EP, it doesn't matter because overall EP has more people? Unless you assume all of EP is always in the North (which we aren't), the fights are more fair than you're making them out to be.
I love the way you guys fight harder on Forums than gameplay.
And yes I know all to well, about the logging in to nothing but fighting.

Bingo!
I play during NA prime time and on the weekends when populations are at their greatest for all three factions. Far more often than not, 85% of DC is battling EP in the north while 85% of AD is battling EP in the south and east. The remaining 15% of AD and DC are fighting somewhere in the Nikel corridor - and that 15% may be a generous estimate.
Somehow these forums translate that into 300 EP fighting 100 DC and 300 EP fighting 100 AD - even when all three factions are pop locked or sitting at three bars. Prime time hours are very easy to identify on that timeline graph. Not so easy to find in that graph are prime time hours where EP has more numbers than the sum of the AD and DC numbers.
Sometimes EP is pushed back to their gates like over the weekend. Sometimes EP pushes out into enemy territory like last night. Numbers only tell part of the story as all three factions have their ebbs and flows. An impartial bystander would never realize that if they merely used these forums to gauge the status of the war.

Thats not actually true, thats your perception of it. Given you think blue only ever pushes nikel with 15% of their people... lol. Nikel and Brindle are blue's manifest destiny. And a huge portion of AD would rather fight blue than get zerged by EP. But whatever, as everyone in this thread/forums goes... they come up with baseless reasons to excuse either failure or success... in addition to somehow ignoring the only evidence/data presented showing the contrary.

Me too, I love forum PvP.And yes I know all to well, about the logging in to nothing but fighting.
Then what happened? You guys all of a sudden "grew skill"...or was it the influx of players from another faction that came to help?

In other words, if you suck stop sucking. It is inspirational what happened to EP. EP sucked and you just learnt from that. Now back to the reality, DC needs urgently good players willing to pvp in Thorn. AD needs good players too. Either those pugs grow a pair and start showing some sign of learning or new players.
When the battles are won by skills not numbers Thornblade will have some decent competition.

Maybe your AD sense of entitlement has blinded you; but all factions have access to the same map and there are fewer crossed swords and real estate ownership changes in the Nikel corridor than in the Bleaker's and Sejanus corridors. It is simply a matter of observing the lack of activity over there for the most part.
Whenever AD takes BRK or DC takes Chalman, there will be hordes of yellow and blue inside when EP attempts to reclaim them. All the while, the western half of the map is starved of conflict. That region of the map is not the hotly contested battlefield you make it out to be.
Oh, and to address a previous comment of yours, Pride is one of about 3 yeoman guilds for EP who spends more time capturing or maintaining real estate than they spend farming AP. None of the guild's players are even in the top 20 players on the EP AP leaderboard. If you run into an organized group of EP players who don't spam Impulse or lag out the server, chances are you encountered Pride.

As pointed out you can do quite much with overwhelming numbers specifically when the opponents are offline. It really helps to ask in zone for more defenders at those times. Even if we ask in very polite way people don´t just don´t show up. I appreaciate your advice not to use toxicity in zone. Really helpful.
As if you didn´t know EP has much more numbers more so during the off peak hours. Why not reroll a DC or AD toon and show us how to ask nicely in zone? At the same time you could mastermind some unpredictable attacks while we are at our last scroll temple. Seeing there like 10 people against the EP zerg of 30-50 as in the past. When the numbers start slowly showing up later the zone is full of toxicity. They sure seek inspiration from EP.
Lastly, it is a well known fact that EP all of suddenly started to shine after so many rerolled an EP toon. If you claim your skills grew it just doesn´t make justice to the fact. Just check the leaderoards. How many previously AD players are now top of EP?
Keep tipping on good advice anyways. Don´t let this crush your world.

Minne, you cry a lot. Tell you what the next time my 20 man group runs into a 60 man AD or DC zerg you be sure to tell 40 of them to wait their turn, you know, just to be fair.

That is not very helpful, Cala. Sure you can tip off how you do it:) Just curious....
You mastermind some surprise attack when 60 AD are online? At the same place....Ok it is the bridge fight. Am I right?
Also how in the world there is only 20 EP? What about the rest of the faction that follows everywhere. More like 100 EP against 15 AD/DC.
When you see a 60 man Zerg from DC , Screen shot it . Until then this is mythical creature and I chuckle at the notion .
