The river of tears
Destro’s Sunday morning Altdorf push is like the tides — constant and predictable. We know they will storm Altdorf to kill our king and thus become better geared.
A few Fight on the Flag members were about to log off. The city is not very fun when we keep getting stomped into the ground. Usually there are only six of us and it’s hard to make a difference when the PUGs keep pushing center and keep getting owned.
FOTF only had five people online that early in the morning. We decided to open up the warband to alliance members with Ventrilo. I helped form the warband and make sure everyone was in vent and Pylith led our tiny zerg of three groups around.
Usually when we have led Vent-only warbands a lot of people just run and do their own thing anyway. This time, Pylith was patient yet firm. We stayed together and started catching up in Destro’s PQ stage 2. Then we pulled ahead and won the stage. Then we won our stage and got some points on the board. Because of our wins, the Destro did NOT get what they wanted.
All of us envisioned the tears they were crying. They had to plan so much to get up early to push zones just to get to the city. All of that effort, wasted.
In my glee I posted a thread on WHA about the situation, where Destro went on to minimize our victory. Either way it was good clean fun.

It was so nice denying Destro of King access all weekend. We’ve let them just run ramshod over the city on their way to the king to much. Saturday morning, I know us in Blitz decided that we wanted to make them work for it, and snuff their perception of entitlement to Royals.
Considering the responses on the forums, I think we did the job Saturday and you guys did it amazingly well also on Sunday.
High five!
