    After having broken a hole in the inner wall make sure you all enter individually and go straight for the flags. Clearing out upstairs is always a waste of time.


    Wait a minute. I thought we were suppose to stand in the opening and try to kill the enemies from there? A little oil dropped on your head is fine. If you die from it, it's because no one was running with Purge.

    Of important note:
    Sieging from low ground helps ensure a 20% higher chance of survivability and of course line of sight greatly improves due to having a clear view of the sky.... This helps to spot the baddie enemy siege since you can see their incoming shots in the sky... which is usually the last thing that you see but you can then direct to have all 10 stone trebuchets to gang up on a fire ballista and take that ballista out..... however... make sure to leave one Iceball Trebuchet to continue siege on the wall while the stone trebuchets bring the pain to the one fire ballista..... mas impordante!

    Just for fun this is my ten rules to pvp success.

    1. Never repair walls. They repair their selves over time.
    2. Leave keep before the tick. You get more ap that way.
    3. Always Nightcap. If an alliance can run 40+ zerg against 6 defenders then its ok to nightcap.
    4. Spam. Spam what ever skill you want. If they can zerg you, then u have the right to spam.
    5. Be cool, goto a keep and watch everyone else siege and repair.
    6. Hide, and watch your teammates die.
    7. Never use soul gems, it prolongs the fight.
    8. Watch the walls, if you look at them long enough they come down.
    9. Be cool Have fun, take a resource with 24 man group, then celebrate.
    10. 1v1 near keeps, so everyone can see you get your tushhurt.

    6. Though shalt share with thine scrub brothers and sisters who have forgotten the above listed inventories, and thou shalt call them out for being scrubs in guild chat.
    7. When siege is called for, thou shalt drop at minimum two of the kind being used. Shouldst thou drop three and manage them well, though shalt be considered an elite siege meister.

    8. Thou shalt cast thine proxies when commanded by thy Crown, and not an instant before.
    Shouldst thou reveal us by miscasting while we are in stealth, though shalt be compared to the dung of a donkey.
    9. Thou shalt have a min/maxed build for performing as well as possible in the PvPs.

    10. When the @Zavus has been killed, thou shalt teabag him until such time as he revives in another place or thou hast been otherwise commanded by thy Crown.

    If a group requires TS and you don't want to use it, join their group anyways. They won't notice.

    It doesn't matter if you are racing to save a keep and stop to pick up wormwood. A few seconds won't make a difference.

    People with the crown are just egotists. Don't have to listen to them. They don't know the game any better than you.

    It is perfectly fine to go afk reading your map as you stand in front of the last emp keep. The enemy will just ignore you.

    When talking in zone, it is perfectly fine to insult /degrade /humiliate the rest of the players. It's just a game and words never hurt. No one has ever been upset by words.

    1. Rams are for walls. Rams are stronk
    2. Maingates are for men. Men don't need siege, we can stare maingates down
    3. Oil bath is fun. Enjoy the oil
    4. If are a group of 15+ and you see a solo player, zerg him down to play it safe
    5. As in 4, if the player runs, chase until the man is down
    6. As in 4 and 5, Teabag that player after
    7. Res as many pugs as possible if you are a pug. Never res the good players.
    8. Crown emps between 3 and 7am. Best way
    9. If Brk, Arrius and Chalman are available, zerg it until the server lags, then zerg it more
    10. Spambush

    11) There are never more than 12 on ts.
    12) Only enemies run away. When 'you' do it it's called 'disengaging'.
    13) The other factions only ever attack yours.
    14) Lag doesn't exist for the other faction only yours.
    15) If you die accidentally (like an idiot) always blame fall damage or lag even if neither are present.

    SHOULD YE BE RUNNING SOLO:

    * Find an enemy keep that is under siege by the third faction, to ensure you have absolutely no stake in what is about to transpire

    * Stalk the periphery of this third party siege line for a spell; not in stealth, but visible and periodically recasting vigor on yourself, so thine foes might cast their eyes upon yonder distance and reckon with the fact that something annoying is about to transpire

    * Smack whomever is on the outer edge of the siege line, retreat to nearest Exercise Boulder, run laps around it yelling WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP like a cartoon animal, and hold your sword up to the heavens on cooldown so God can see how strong you are

    * Should the three people chasing you remember to run in an opposite path around the Exercise Boulder and secure your demise, purge off your respawn debuff by cussin' it up about AOE CAPS!!! on your stream, or in a whisper to whomever is least likely to respond by asking you the following question:

    "...do you have any AOE on your bar to even cap?"

    Of course you do: Leap is on both of your bars. You mutter something about ball groups and chug directly from a carton of milk. You feel yourself growing stronger every day.
