NA PC BWB second attempt

Adenoma

Sora, please don't call my guild a clique. We're all friends in it, but we became friends because I advertised in zone to people who wanted to learn a bit more about PvP and were willing to use TS. We started the whole thing because we wanted to expose more people to organized PvP that was different in nature from larger zone guild groups.

I'm not even sure if Alex logged on for any of his reign - I really hope he did, though. I had to do real life things instead of protect his reign, but I helped to crown him in the first place. It was pretty neat to see him snag crown from Kill'la by only around 500 AP and it was even cooler to see Kill'la be such a class act about it. I'm really thankful that even if we're pushed to tri keeps, at least we have a supportive community.

Kind of funny seeing AD lose 4 keeps to EP and pushed back to Bloodmayne and Roe only, just cause one of the clicky AD guild members are emp. Got most of their pop locked faction defending 1 emp keep while losing everything else >.>

Edit: And he just got dethroned anyway. Lol.

That is nothing... that actually makes sense given the circumstances.

Today was completely messed up. In the afternoon our zerg completely wiped DC off the map (DC 1 bar, AD 3 bars - nothing to be proud or ashamed of). Then, we take both scrolls and some dude drops it in the lava (not sure how this happened).
I spent a good 20 mins with a couple of other people fishing the scroll out the lava while improving my parkour skills - which was done by one guy logging out so another guy above can pick it up - rinse and repeat. When we finally get the freaking thing out, a troll runs with it and intentionally drops it into the lava.
Does anyone know who did this? ^

Then instead of pushing for emp (two EP keeps left to go at that point), people had a good number sieges up at Warden and were defending tri-keeps.
Later on, we lost BRK because EVERYONE was at freaking Bleakers. I was LITERALLY the only player defending BRK against a dozen EPs and asking for help on chat.

I mean, zergs will be zergs and do whatever they want. Just expected more from the groups that were pushing for emp. But maybe I'm just salty cause not a single knight in shining armor came to my rescue at BRK haha

Yeah I was on for like 20mins during that time to see AD pop locked while DC had 1 bar; it was pretty boring. I hear ya though, right after we dethroned AD @ Roe, EP had Alessia, Faregyl, Blackboot, and was through the gate attacking AD's scroll. Everyone says "Where do we hit next?" etc and some zone chat genius's say to hit EP at Faregyl. I ofc advised them not to touch EP until we take our home scroll back from AD @ Bloodmayne. I told them if they attack Faregyl it will cut EP off at Blackboot/ AD's gate where they had one scroll and were going for another (ofc EP didn't realize they can't take AD's scroll until they place theirs but that's another story). I further explained that this would cause EP to lose their home scroll and allow AD (who was still pop locked) to kill the EP at gate, retake Bloodmayne, then Faregyl and so on. Additionally, it would cause EP to attack us at Roe where we had one of their scrolls, and ultimately prevent us from getting our scroll from Bloodmayne while also allowing AD to take the map again with superior numbers while we are fragmented fighting both factions.

Still DC pushed into EP @ Faregyl and exactly what I said would happen, happened. When I went to bed we were fighting EP @ Arrius, then Farragut, and taking EP's one scroll while AD took BRK and probably the rest of the map over night. Some people just have no mind for strategy and no plans for the long term. They were so happy that they took EP's scroll, however, by continuing to foolishly hit EP it only helps AD (who was fighting them with already superior numbers) and causes us to lose to AD. I wouldn't be surprised if I log in to another yellow map and another AD emp.

How much does the score factor in to everyone's thoughts on who/where it is important to push at any given time?

To me, score is top priority and sometimes, if I'm feeling vocal, I try to encourage DC to push wherever and whomever will bring our score either closest to the leader's score (if we are 2nd or 3rd) or the furthest from the 2nd place score (if we are in the lead).

There have been plenty of times when this is clearly not the goal from what I see in zone chat, so I'd like to hear other peoples opinions on this as well.

Adenoma

I'm all about pushing wherever I can move AD map and have fun - sometimes I've had a bad time on the EP side of the map so I push DC or the opposite. It's a game, after all. People take things so seriously.

Good question. I guess alliance scoring plays a big role. Emping to me is like an investment to get someone that can make a huge difference, plus it's a morale booster.

I guess my priorities would be:
1- defend whatever we have (retaking stuff is always harder then defending it).
2- take home keeps.
3- prevent other alliances from emping.
4- push for emp or scrolls, whatever seems more feasible at the time.
5- hold emp keeps, let tri keeps go - no one likes a one-color map.

Probably missed something, but I guess that's most of my thought process when looking for action.

Pretty quiet today. Has everybody lost interest? I have the sense that something is about to be very different in BwB this weekend. I can feel it.

It was really active earlier before I left for work. AD almost emp'd again, stopped them while they were working on inner Aleswell and it seems they gave up after that.

Yep, out of state this week and most of next.... finally got a chance to read the last several pages of this thread.... how's EP doing (I really don't have to ask, but I guess good news isn't totally out of the realm of possibility, right?)?

I have a baby EP in the wailing prison right now, gearing up to fight the good fight for Red. First time on a non DC since summer '14.

AD, just in case you don't know. EP has Emp.. no reason to keep attacking us. Let me know if you don't know what Dethrone means.

Push em to their gates? More mine towers to siege then.

pft.. don't even go there.. after EP was taking Fare.. AD still came to try and take NIK. Maybe if you were not attacking us then maybe we would have still been on the other side of the map. Did u ever think about that?

I try so hard to agree with u.. but i can't.

Congrats to the new DC Emp..

Ok we just have a different view of what constitutes as attacking dc. I don't consider it attacking DC if it is our home keep or outpost. That's just getting OUR property back. If we were hitting Ash, then I would say we are attacking DC. Just a different point of view.
