I admit I knew nothing about city sieges. Absolutely nothing. So when my warband zoned in, we had no clue what was going on, but I saw two nodes on the map that we were supposed to take. Off we went to secure those areas.

Word to the wise: when you first zone into IC, the warband leader has a choice of instances to pick through. For your sanity, please coordinate with another warband that knows WTF it’s doing and pick the same instance! That would have saved us a TON of heartache last night.

While my warband tried, we could not overcome the suckiness of the other warband, which was full of level 30-36 players.

(Side note: MYTHIC why do you allow anyone who is not capable of wearing the upper tier gear to siege the city? Those guards obliterated the Order who did not have the right equipment. Either fix the guards or up the level requirement, please!)

The warband leader, who shall remain nameless on this blog, refused to communicate to my warband, refused to recruit more players to his/her warband and did not talk with people who were in his/her warband (I know this because people from that warband came to vent because they were frustrated they were getting no answers from their leader). He put me on ignore when I asked a few pointed questions, such as “why do you only have a group and a half in your warband” and “could you please coordinate with my other warband leader so we can win a scenario?”

I also made other enemies that day. Another player, who shall remain nameless, was not happy with the macros that I make that informs my warband members to either log into vent or risk being kicked from the warband. He promptly told me what a jerk I was, left the warband and continued bashing me in region chat. I was not able to read the fallout because I was busy leading and healing, but I am assured my reputation was upheld.

I got a love letter after I was done with the Inevitable City raid:

Unfortunately I could not respond to this missive because my beau had put me on ignore. But if you’re watching, read my rules for running warbands, posted on the WarhammerAlliance.com forums.

In all, it was a really fun day. I have to praise Mythic for putting out an awesome patch. You put the WAR back in Warhammer!

Aye, we first landed on the Isle o’ Quel’danas with our parrots in tow, and commandeard a ship in the harbor. Gar.

Ahoy, we feasted upon Sa’ory De’iate Delights and also installed the Pirate Speak mod. No screens o’ the talk in general chat unfortunately Ye’ll ne’er get me buried booty!

Arrr, though I was the only wench aboard, the guys didn’t seem t’ mind. Thar war enough blood el’es around t’ keep them company. Gar.

Aye, we ran up and down the shore, killin’ e’ery Alliance in sight. We ga’e no quarter, nor ceased our relentless attacks despite pleas for parlay.

Aye, surprisin’ly, or maybe not, thar was verily no effort t’ boot us from the zone or mount a counter offensi’e. Ahoy, they just sat thar, tremblin’ by the guards:

Ahoy, we war thar for more than an hour. We had enough fish t’ keep refreshin’ our pirate buff. E’entually our sword arms grew tired o’ hackin’ away at Alliance bodies. We retired t’ a field t’ gaze upon the corpses o’ our fallen enemies. And we picked up a few friends along the way:

Thanks for coming with Aryx and Kell!

Aye, i hope e’eryone had a little fun. I know I did, argh!

Since the 2.4 patch we’ve had to be creative to enjoy ourselves as a guild in PVP.

I thought I’d combine our love for fishing with PVP. Today and for the past few day’s I’ve fished up about 100 Deviate fish and sent them to Xorena to cook Savory Deviate Delights. These fish, when consumed, turn you either into a pirate or a ninja. We are aiming for pirates.

To complete the pirate disguise, everyone should get a parrot pet from Booty Bay or farm one somehow, AH or what have you. Please also download the Talk like a Pirate mod from curse, here.

If anyone can think of other ways to make us more pirate-y, post on the forums. I’m aiming for Saturday afternoon for this event.

Hope to see you there!

To <Fight on the Flag> members, this is completely unacceptable. So Friday, we staged a protest on the Isle of Quel’Dalas. Alliance were ganking, and one of our members called for help. We rallied to his call:

Corpses, corpses everywhere and not an Ally to kill. Oh wait! The bear!

Why wait 45 minutes to kill Alliance in a BG when you can go to the Isle of Quel’Dalas and kill them now? Well, personally I like killing people who want to PVP rather than random victim bastards, but we had to take out our angst somewhere.

We were there for about two hours maybe? I’m not sure but we killed enough to get 400 honor.

In any case, FotF faithful, the officers are brainstorming solutions and scouring the Blizzard boards for possible solutions. It is inevitable that a ticked off PVPer will create a mod to get around this stupid requirement, much like the author of Preform AV Enabler. Keep an ear to guild chat. Look for the MOTD.

Most importantly, do not be daunted by this latest development! This will not kill our little PVP guild or any other.

We got bored and decided to try some world PVP. We’d never really done that as a guild before except for Halaa. Halaa was ours so we headed to Honor hold.

Unfortunately it didn’t draw the numbers of alliance as we’d hoped.

Can you find a dead force commander? I can!

After about an hour of goofing off we parted ways.

We also did some WSG.
