DC took four scrolls - or was in only three? - while I was saving Lyris, which doesn't take very long.
Or was that after the not-at-all-PvDoor part? I'm just curious.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Someone will always find something to complain about when it comes to emp'ing.
But seriously. I've seen small children handle being left out and/or losing better than some in bwb "Prime Time." So don't be so pretentious and high that you honestly believe that the only reason someone emp's at night is because you and your friends/guilds/mothers dog were not online to stop them. Get over yourselves.
Besides. The prime time players are not the extent of the "cream of the crop." While some are very good, yes. Some are also not as good as their ego's might like to think they are. Some of the most hard fought and fun 1v1's, skirmishes, and sieges I have encountered were late at night.
This is because 'Skill' does not have a bed time that it's mommy will ground it for if it stays up past it.
@ofSunhold I don't even know what to say to you or where to begin.
Clearly.
Who's complaining? I'm not complaining. It was nice of you to pre-emptively post your screenshots including population bars and subtly suggest no shade be thrown, so people not bother saying things like, "It's cheap and cowardly to hoover up scrolls when your faction has emperor and the keeps you're hitting are all empty," which as you say wouldn't even apply here. What with all the resistance that had to be overcome. And so quickly, that was the impressive bit.
Unless the resistance and overcoming part was earlier, which was my question. Never mind, not important.
May your Skill enjoy many more four and five AM, it's just a coincidence North America is asleep, triumphs. Let me know again when it only appears to be but actually isn't shady, so I know for sure to throw no shade.

Well. If you wish I could go on to tell you in detail as to how we managed to get emp over greater numbers than us, and how EP was actually DC's MVP without even realizing it-- that we were manipulating them until it was already too late.
Also, you want to know how we really took all the scrolls (was three) so fast? Alright.
After emp'ing we set our sights on the scrolls. However we were still at a pop disadvantage, so we had to move quickly if we wanted to get the scrolls before AD and EP started taking back the emp keeps. So we split up into teams prep'd the keep's we needed all sneaky like while AD and EP set sights on taking back keeps. Once everything was ready, we blitzed Bloodmayne and snatched the scroll of Mnem asap since we already had fare and bloodmayne ready
So while everyone was like "ERMAGERD SWHOLE!" and chased after it, what was left of us 13 wolves that weren't with/didn't go with the scroll pushed for the scroll of Ghartok; meanwhile the other group we were corodinating with pushed for the scroll of Chim.
Not long after we secured Mnem, (Barely. We had a really close call) we had ghartok moving, and shortly after that, the other DC group had chim was on the move as well.
Here is where EP and AD made a little mistake while chasing Mnem. The other two scrolls were on the move, and with absolutely nowhere for either faction spawn anywhere near them. Securing Ghartok and Chim may as well have been a victory lap.

Same here... highest I've been is 11th. Got me by 4 places!
I'm not sure why but the more it goes, the less I care about what's going on in BwB and I was probly the one who cared the most at some point. I guess this is finally getting old
Seriously guys. If 2 people are in a 1v1 fight, dont stand on top of the stairs spamming snipe to help your friend. Let them fight. Freaking scrub ass chumps.

I want to use this statement as an example.
There is one thing we all fail at, and that is excepting that everyone has a different play style.
I play a hardcore DC character that wants to kill everyone and thinks AD/EP should move out of BwB. If that happens then I move on to the next campaign until DC owns everything. I don't sleep with the enemy, and there are very few players i call my friends that are on the other alliances. In PvE it is completely different, but when I step into PvP watchout!
Stridid play style is he likes to play with his friends, no matter what faction they are on. He is loyal to the Pugz but thinks he has the right to play anywhere he wants.
The 2 Srub ass chumps play style is having fun, and doing things that annoy other players.
My point is, who is the one that is taking the game too serious? In the example above is it Stridig, or the 2 ass chumps? I often get put down because I am loyal to DC, and am told things like "geezz... it is only a game". But nobody understands that is how I play the game. I get more enjoyment working for DC, and talking trash to AD/EP.
One thing I have noticed since i started playing is, if someone doesn't play a certain way people talk down to them. If it is a ganker kicking you off a horse.. he is a scrub. If someone cloaks, they don't know how to fight. If someone tbags you, they are immature idiots, or if someone zerges over 1 player they are a bunch of noobs.

Lol. You sure like calling me out don't you? I don't THINK I have the right to play wherever I want. I KNOW I have the right to.
Also: when I do /played on my AD character you know what it says? Just under 9 hours. Geez I'm such a faction hopper.

You are amazing.
But stop summoning me back to this thread now, must work, no self-discipline...
Seriously guys. If 2 people are in a 1v1 fight, dont stand on top of the stairs spamming snipe to help your friend. Let them fight. Freaking scrub ass chumps.
New to the forums but you guys may know me as "A King" or "@zRaver". Unfortunately what ever I say right now, people are still going to think poorly or negatively from which ever faction either if you cross faction or have a specific faction you stick to. I simply want to tell a simple small side of myself cause people can obviously and will make assumptions and I have no problems cause people are entitled to their opinions except when it goes out of hand and have little to no basis to make assumption and start a commotion or "Drama" which sadly usually is the case. Nonetheless I solo and been known to solo(most of the time 90% of the time) for those who know me well or even a little. I have met awesome people and made friends to those from opposing factions either if I'm on DC or EP and of course made plenty on the same faction on both EP and DC. Sadly there are encounters where things do get heated from player to player (I=Myself and X=other player) even some to my own fault but overall I don't influence nor help those from other factions to achieve their goals or help EMP those from different factions just because I played on a different faction as a solo player for a short amount of time. So lets keep things simple and clean and stop beating around the bush as they say and just ask away.
Personally, If I find 2 people fighting, I'll generally just put my weapon away and either /sitchair or /lute.
The general goal of the faction is to take under control and defend as many objectives as possible.

Pretty sure it's about getting drunk in teamspeak and /danceorc.
But I have been told I do it wrong.

Unless there is other fighting or a siege nearby. Otherwise, I'm curious as to who will win this 1v1 fight, so I just watch. Because ultimately, in the grand scheme of things in Cyrodiil, 1v1's outside of immediate combat zones don't really matter. So why not just watch and see what happens?

I don't like this play style. If I see a 1v1 fight ( especially near a keep ) I am going in and helping my team. I hate when I do that and the other DC just backs off and lets me die.
PvP is not about 1v1. It is about fighting for alliance, helping each other, and killing all enemy. I think many players forgot what PvP is about.The general goal of the faction is to take under control and defend as many objectives as possible.

I have a few questions.
1. I know many of the AD players lie on here, but there is a rumor that all you do is trade AP with other board leaders, is this true?
