You all need a valium. Where the hell is Paz? DOC SOMEONE NEEDS A SCRIP STAT!
Look. I am in Heretic, and I was in the recent Heretic siege vs Faction. Yes, that in and of itself is really weird. Actually I am totally weirded now. But anyway, I have been friends with Kanuu for a long time, and an admirer of PPK, and an admirer of Core, and a friend of all those people... and wait, is Soup also Soapy? cause now I am confused. Soapy is creepy, but maybe just to me, what do I know... but. Oh wait, you all mean Alphabetsoup, who is not Soapy. Right?
I'm tired now.
Anyway, I've been in Faction's position. By that I mean, I've been in a struggling guild with decent points staring down the barrel of almost certain (well, ok, completely certain) destruction more times than I care to recall. And we ALWAYS prolonged. Not because we were meanies, just because that was our siege ethos.
If you want people to just roll over and let you anally probe them so you can go back to PvE faster... dominate more? I mean, I get that people want to go run stuff, heck, I always want to go run stuff. And siege is kind of irritatingly in the middle of the evening hours. So I have sympathy for that too- but you can't ask people to stand on the castle when they'd rather have fun getting killed.
And if they can manage to take on a stronger force and actually win, using actual tactics... I say grats to them, even if I like PPK and I don't particularly like Faction (no offense Faction, but Greenie = <3).
This is not the end of anyone's world. Honestly, I wish sometimes people would put their toon names in their sig, cause I would love to know who tyrr and Sticking are, just for my own private musings.
Don't feel bad PPK, sheesh. There's no doubt in anyone's mind that PPK is easily the best PvP and PvE guild in US RoM history (sorry Valk, you had a damned good run though). Losing once as a symptom of ennui is not that bad a thing. I know Kanuu whines all the time about how boring siege is. It might be less boring if a mouse roared every once in a while. Well, the mouse done roared, and even if no one is particularly fond of this mouse, and even if the mouse won in a tricksy way- they still won, and it's over.
Like my beloved Rexella always said, siege is the eternal war. PPK, you'll get to pwn them into the ground in 20 minutes next week, so there's no point even worrying about it. We all still love you anyway. Or something.
