Im glad you agree. Its an excellent description, seeing as Tertiary Meats natural habitat is nestled in 3 layers of pugs.
Finally, we see eye to eye.
there was a time when this simply wasnt true, once Tertiary meat was literally the strongest AD pvp guild, in the time of the buff servers we where a super power, HAVOK was the only guild that could beat us in a stack v stack fight. man.......... what the hell happened?
who was that EP werewolf horde last night? that was probably one of the coolest things i had ever seen!
Gather around children for story time.
TM were once "The Elder Trolls" under Murderthumbs leadership. I took my only break from the game shortly after launch to play Wildstar and when I came back, Murderthumbs was gone and there was a new guild (because he didn't transfer GM) with all the same people in it called Tertiary Meat that had a weird almost merged with Alacrity thing going on with half of the people in that, and then TM split off from that completely.
Primary meatbag, secondary meatbag, tertiary meatbag.... hey, look at that, yes at a time TM did have a minimum of 3 meatbags in most keep defenses and sometimes open field fights, much to the ire of other guilds. One member we recruited along the way is the infamous Vujk, who was also a DIG member, who then taught the ways of siege defense on keeps to DIG, from where it spread on. So, I feel like one of the legacy's of TM was teaching AD how to generally be very annoying with siege and one of our longstanding rivalry guilds GoS picked up on the siege game too. Other guilds gave them the same hate for their sieging that TM received over the years.
TM has never claimed or tried to be the best guild in the game. Some members were more competitive than others to be sure. They never went to the big servers to fight against the top guilds, mostly because of lag. TM really has been about having fun and social, not the best in the game. That may be one reason, they are probably one of the longest running and active guilds in the game, while other adversaries did not last. Striving to be the very best can and will lead to burnout. This is easier to manage on an individual level because you can go play another game, do other content, etc but if you are a raid lead that has to corral 10+ people and get them to enact some level of discipline to play at the top of their game, then is no easy task.
Side note, our siege game these days is no where it used to be, which is ironic because siege is so broken OP in Azura's. And like Kart said, TM does as much as they can to get away from other members of the alliance if the group size is large enough to fight a faction. The way rezzing at outposts works now, makes that more difficult than ever though.

I wish this post could be stickied in any thread that involves a campaign where TM is homed. Thank you @Magus for taking the time to share some history.

It's probably because @Micah123 has been on DC with most of TM the past month
I've done my fair share too, and it's cathartic but not really helpful

Apparently it is a guild. They normally run small mans, but every Wednesday (Or every other Wednesday) they have a WWW, Werewolf Wednesday, where the invite anyone who is a werewolf to join their group. Had a friend who ran with them, they got up to 15 people at one point and were wrecking everything lol, was really cool.
It amuses me how few people know where TM got their name, even I know that and I have never been associated with them past a few groupups because of my buddy Sisko (Cesare Bull) back in the day.
I remember the Elder Trolls/Aldmeri Vice alliance wayyyyyyy back in the day vs all of those DC at Alessia Farm, 6v20+ all afternoon long. I think it was on Chillrend during Kamikaze's first reign.
That was.... 2 -2 1/2 years ago now wasnt it.
Hard knocks and sometimes a load of trashtalk, but guys like Marek and Vujk were always class acts I considered myself to be cool with.
Nine months away from this crap game, but those days were the most remembered, seriously. Growing up as AD on chilly before I ever went EP.
These are probably all lost to you in the blur of fighting over the years, but I never forget a good PvP fight, and those 3-4 were what made ESO good at some small measure of times.

Im glad you agree. Its an excellent description, seeing as Tertiary Meats natural habitat is nestled in 3 layers of pugs.

Hell the dragon leap montage was from that era, and esoinabox. If the game was like it was back then, i might still be playing. The whole one tamriel thing, and the lack of lag fixes and whatnot over the years (coupled with some hilariously stupid drama with a trainwreck of guild leadership) just made the game unfun.
But TM made the game fun (whether alongside or fighting against). Only one other guild gave me as much trouble as a raidcaller and that was VE in their prime right after they rerolled to DC.
The only time fighting TM sucked was when their 10 guys were wrapped up in a lolzerg of 40+ other free AP under aoe cap protection. Then it was a bad day to be EP on whatever server we ran into them on.
Just thought id throw that in there, a voice from the past.
In fact my three greatest battles in ESO involved TM believe it or not.
As AD fighting with Aldmeri Vice members and TM members at the aforementioned Kamikazizerg farm on Chilly
As EP during my first veteran emp reign with VE and TM battering down the walls of Alessia and later BRK for hours until it was over.
As DC at Fare Farm watching the DC noobs get obliterated as TM fought LoM out behind the tower in the field.
And an honorable mention - Sejanus 8v8 for almost an hour while neither team ever fully wiped, was absolutely epic.
These are probably all lost to you in the blur of fighting over the years, but I never forget a good PvP fight, and those 3-4 were what made ESO good at some small measure of times.

I think I missed most of the old VE//TM encounters. My only memory of them back when was hearing in TS that they'd bombed our TV farm groups down in the passage, and 1-2 dethroning battles on Had.
I didn't know they ran back during the 1.6 era, but that's prob cuz we spent most of our time on Thornblade. I'll have to get Dureon to refresh my memories again

Yo DC, got details on that Roe o-tick for dethrone? Crazy fight;)

Think he means 1.5 when TM had fights like these:
IR was memorable when we ran into them.
Havoc was memorable, Tom Hanks, Anon, etc. Don't see any old footage from that but I remember those days.
NM was memorable but only really ran into them early on. TM had more of rivalry with KH for a while (post 1.5, pre-TG patch). We would try to farm and they would come across the map to mess with us.
Most everybody else just got farmed then again we mostly went to buff servers to farm pugs. DC on Chillrend. EP on Azura's Star. Then eventually AD would follow us to the enemy buff servers and then they would become AD buff servers, so TM got accused a lot of killing servers back then.

ah u played on had (ad's buff server). found some of u in here from one of our farming sesh's

guess that's why i didn't know tm was a guild till az last year, tho i had seen most of the player names b4.
Any of you the player behind Apocalypto Belial? He always has whispers off and is so mysterious, but he has my vote for best mDk PC/NA.
If you're in here Belial congratulations on being tied with Booz as the reason I can't make my medium armor builds work. Every time I feel like running a glass or ranged build I run into one these guys and get 2-shot and run back to meta builds with my tail between my legs XD
