It was more like a 2v2. All was going according to plan in my attempt to outlast him until they decided to focus fire me right when I was one tick off from immovable.

I'm personally waiting for Team Brown, where all 3 alliances sit by the campfire in the Imperial City and talk of days of old.2 -

✭at this rate team brown will be mainly comprised of former emp farmers and exploiters since many of the legit players have left or are leaving
appropriate color though

I have it all but confirmed that major cooperation occurs between AD and EP guilds ... but that's not an issue because its been done before and it's a legitimate aspect of AvA politics. We've fought through it before and will do it again; one bad day won't ruin anything.
I am interested in the nature of the agreement though. Red and Yellow still want to win, respectively. This means someone has to f*ck over someone at some point. It is furthermore a concession of sorts that Blue Master Race is the single largest threat, since despite the impassioned cries of certain people (;)) all factions pop-lock and all factions have pretty zergish zerging going on. Thus, Blue Ubermensch dominance boils down to the superior coordination of our pugs and the superior play of No Mercy.
I know for certain (since I have EP friends) that a significant Red thinks they will easily crush AD once they have enough of a lead on DC. I have less AD friends but I assume a similar attitude prevails as well. This implies both realize neither can defeat Blue Master Race on their own, and betrayal is the logical course of order within this tentative alliance as well.3 -

ah - i have no doubt of that - it's always been a part of AvAvA
what's amusing is that some of the individuals doing the loudest crying of 'team purple' 'team orange' etcv were also the ones who saw no problem in teaming up as team brown to farm emperors and ruin campaigns
what is going on right now is good, healthy 'collusion' - one look at the current scoreboards shows just how strongly and passionately contested the campaign is - THIS is what cyrodiil is about

No Mercy. If you don't know who we are, set your PvP campaign to Thornblade; click "J"; click the trophy tab (farthest icon on the top right); See the first 11 places on the server leaderboard? 9 of those are us. (Tripwyr and Kaghei are the exceptions at 5th and 10th, respectively.) Now click the "Daggerfall Covenant" option on the left; Scroll down to 21st on the leaderboard. No Mercy is 1st through 21st there. Now you know who we are!

hello, nice to meet you as well.
however, time invested doesnt equal skill, and since you seem to run a zerg, i have to assume the worst, and thus wouldnt group any of you, no offense.
if you aim to impress (you certainly talk the talk) then i look forward to you breaking that zerg down into real groups and "competing".2 -

We field between 12 and 18 players 90% of the time -- not even 5 full groups. Your definition of zerg is unusual and not one I've encountered before. I wasn't aiming to impress at all. I wanted to introduce you to our guild and now you can see our names and find us (or avoid us, since we're not skilled enough to run with you) in game.The only substitute for victory is overkill.0 -

It is unlikely. However, blue and red absolutely hate each other while AD doesn't really give a damn. I'd be extremely surprised if Brandon's group ever left the west side of the map though now after what happened.0 -

A full night is like five groups. But group five can go [snip] itself (<3). We break into six groups rarely.

Nala_✭✭✭✭the average size of the pvp guilds on each faction (in my experience) ranges from:
crystalized's group: ~ 6 -14
alacrity: ~ 6-14
TYSM: ~12-24
no mercy: ~18-32
EG: ~75-1255 -
Ifthir_ESO✭✭✭✭✭LOL @ AP points having any indication of skill.
The only thing they represent is how much the player plays and how good they are at farming AP.

No mercy runs max 17 people during peak times, cos i am group 5, and i am always alone in that group, thats why i get to go "*** myself" when group objectives are assigned, but we feel like 32, so its a nice compliment
we have never had more then 24, ever.Edited by Viracocha on August 13, 2014 3:49PM4 -

hmmm. ok
just seems like too many to me, but we have some really heavy standards, which limits our group cap to 4-6 usually. i dont think we have grouped anyone in cyrodiil who we didnt bring from daoc.

TSYM 90% of the time never fields more than one large group. You may think they have more because people "follow" them and they don't care or tell them to go away. They just do their own thing and people see a ton of goblins around so they follow.
