Sort of fizzled out towards the end here, but good read [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

sorry glitch pal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] it must've been on page 1-8 of the search which I didn't go into; just page 9. I do appreciate you correcting my oversight though.

Hasbin...you left out SO much! Great read tho, bro.

As much as you guys are gonna hate to hear this, and as much as I once argued so passionately against it...the only thing that's gonna work is

:drum roll

rotation.

The argument is gonna be "there's no competition". Sure. You bet.

Poopsocking will always be the answer because there is NO guild - not one - that can effectively and consistently beat IB/TR on an even playing field, and there has never been a guild that could.

There were a couple in the early days that gave them an honest run for their money, and that was probably the best fun I ever had here. The only problem is that TR would have to give a bit to placate the server. There's a price to pay for being TOO good, fellas.
I would rather suffer the end of IB a thousand times; I would rather die in agony than accept a rotation from you!


but I DO appreciate your reasoning [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As a matter of fact there shouldn't be any rules in regards to raiding. Lost a race? tough deal. Got steamrolled? /deletepetition. Got trained by the competing guild? Sorry I won't accept your video evidence, fraps isn't classic. That would encourage some healthy competition between skillful players and would benefit the growth of the server as not so many people would get burned out by this bullshit. It would also be alot more fun! Until then I think I will just remain guildless and go make a million plat in EC.
it sure as balls wouldn't be healthy. It would be the exact opposite. It would be horrible douchebaggery (which is obv the exact opposite of healthy). I'd backup this argument but rly I feel it unnecessary.

I love how IB getting steamrolled has gone from totally fake propoganda to some sort of fact. There was probably only 1 week where DA got more kills than IB in a given cycle; otherwise we always got the majority (or all). Unless you're counting when we moved to sky and didn't care about the dragons or gods for a while? then ok lol.

I know. I was there. I didn't sleep. I was driven insane by it. Go away. Stop touching me.

I honestly think it's the only way their inferior little minds operate. They latch onto something until it's real to them. It makes the world a better place when they're too dumb to improve it for real.

That's the only explanation for gulping down bullshit this large without the need for a bib.

You had quit during this period. Infact a lot of core IB quit, and tbh I would think this was the reason DA thrived. (and it was months... not a week)

My dear, I think not sleeping had a profound effect on your ability to remember things.

It's okay bro, I've prepared a diagram dispelling this myth that IB was always on top of the server. So you know, it can go from being "totally fake propaganda" to... fact [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

by the way, I appreciate the good sportsmanship earlier today at Faydedar guys. I'm being sincere in this.

I hope you'll appreciate me resurrecting your memory for you Ektar! <3

Or if you count when they cheated and knew the exact spawn times I guess :P

I kept reading it and assumed it was while I quit. but according to loly's timeline (the trans merger), I was still playing.

and it didn't happen while I was still playing.

In fact, I only quit once we finally won the war against DA and they began to crumble. Their core left, some joined us, and they were forced out of sky due to lack of numbers. It's quite possible they rebuilt after that, cuz we all know that IB was falling apart at the seams at that time too (splintering 2 new guilds and all that good stuff).

and I would dare say without me they took a huge blow too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The DA merge with Eminence was what rebuilt DA. Lots of Eminence members were major players. If IB would've merged with Eminence, the history of the server would be completely different imo.

lol @ the merge with Dozekar. =P
