Red Dawn is going places

[Faerie]

Unless Heartbrand mismanages something in a big way, or some serious drama crops up. Or if the bluebies get bored and don't stick around (xp bonus largely to blame if this happens). I hope Azrael realizes this.

What Heartbrand has done was really pretty smart, if disingenuous and manipulative. He correctly identified bluebie as the pool of potential recruits they are, and marketed his guild in order to attract them. Under his direction, Red Dawn was re-branded as anti-grief, family-style, and most importantly: something different. Heartbrand saw potential in what Serenity was about, and with his vast riches, friends, and PL capabilities lured bluebie over to form his own personal army.

He's fostering a sense of loyalty among his members by gearing and PLing them. And with the guild marketed as it is, those members are even more likely to stick around. They share a sense of... "We're the other guys; we do things our own way, and we're not going to be toxic like Azrael and Nihilum." It's a good feeling, to be the good guy and underdog (so long as you're getting kills and raid mobs). This, coupled with the aforementioned gear/xp parade, is the best model of player recruitment/retention I've seen here on Red99. And what's more, it seems to be working. Heartbrand is unfortunately a capable leader who knows what he is doing in pve progression.

Why did it have to be you, Heartbrand? Led by someone else, this could have been something sincere and wonderful; but it stinks of your unique brand of self-serving and egotistical manipulation. Maybe it's true that the most successful leaders have a touch of sociopathy.

charter was a lie
let the greef begin

[Squire]

stfu about the exp bonus. do you even play here?

[Smedy]

it's true that the most successful leaders have a touch of sociopathy.

Yes, same goes for the real world, anyone who wants to be president does not have all his shit together and is probably crazy.

Heartbrand leads where others wont, simple as that. I would not want to deal with this current drama, it's dumb on so many levels lol

[heartbrand]

any1 who watches house of cards knows u gotta be a bit crazy 2 want to lead

[Bamz4l]

now checkraise has Red Dawn branded as Nihilum feeder guild - they even get the scraps until they join the big leagues

VS confirmed scraps! BCG and CoF scraps too. Big Andis probably torn by the fact that Nips is getting Druid Epic before him.

I was pretty actively aggressive.

If we all join Nihilum, we all win. No PvP crying to be had.

spoken like a true bluebie. Andis is red as fuck, if he was pixel driven he would have joined nilly a long time ago.

[heartbrand]

Ya that guy who sits in crypt 24/7 farming fungi #17, throws temper tantrums over a 3rd FBH for his 4th alt, def not pixel driven heheheheh

OMG this is almost sig worthy. Didn't Andis and you have a huge falling out OVER A FINGERBONE HOOP? Wow, a new forumquest level.

Had to use Google Fu, but I think it's Oxycontin? No clue what shiny side down means though, not a druggy.

I'm going to take credit for heartbrands success for:

A. my flaming of Nihilum
B. my very own pre-recruitment of bluebies prior to Red Dawns relaunch
C. my putting him on a pedastle before the bluebies.

This is why <Red Dawn> or any guild fears/slanders me so extremely hard when I take a critical and negative perspective of them.

So, your welcome HB.

Also Serenity gave me the idea to be quirky and crazy with Azure.
