So. I talked this idea over with a few of you in the guild, and I've heard it can be done... I suggest that since its Pre-season in ranked warzones that we take this time, and the initiative, to actually begin working together rather than arguing about gear, strategy, and whatever else.
The idea is that we get 16 interested people, and queue up together in two teams, and run a 'scrimmage' match against EACH OTHER rather than against Imps who are better geared, who know their rotations, who know how to work together, and who somehow manage to stomp us into the ground within the first few minutes of a match.
I've already pitched the idea to Rux and Kontraz of ACo, who agrees that its a good idea, and it could work. So he is seeing who would be interested on their side.
What I need to know is how many of you here, in FA, would be willing to do this, and more importantly which days and what times work best for you? Obviously it would be ideal to have an 8 man FA team against an 8 man Aco team.. but there's nothing saying we can't run two teams of FA, and two teams of ACo, or a mixed team if we don't have enough interest.
Please let me know as soon as possible!
List the following:
Character name:
Class/Role:
Day/Time that works best for you:
EDIT: Kontraz suggested Fridays, for drunk nights :D which makes it all the more fun. But the chances of us running against ACo are smaller then.. so we'd have to run more teams.
Current Signups:
Adam- Sage/Heal?
Tett-Slinger/DPS
Nakari- Slinger/DPS
Tecknik- Commando/DPS
Longboard/DarkAngel- DPS
Sared
Broin

Sorry I wasn't able to get with your earlier Ahrrie, but thanks for going ahead and getting this posted!
I should be there, still haggling over schedule details, but it should be fine. Going to check with T, B, and Alrek about having Acoy join us on TS.
Who are you organizing this with over at Acoy? Just so I can coordinate things with them.
-
Sared> No worries, love. Organizing mostly with Rux, cause he's who I know best over there.. We actually got this going tonight, after you got d/ced.
Speaking of.
For a Friday night? This went swimmingly. Managed to match against ACo 3/4 matches (the other team got against another pug team on match 4) so far, and planning on doing more. Super fun times! Going to see about planning some more in the future, but gonna try and delegate this to Sared since its more his area than mine :D
-
I'm down for doing some of these if I am around. Was close to having to go when you guys started it up the other day
-
Awesome Broin!!! We'd love to have you. Last night was really a super success, and word is there will be more guilds getting involved.. so we'll have more teams to run up against.. I'll try to get a text message out next time or something :D
-
Thank you to everyone that showed up tonight! I had a good time playing with, and against you all, and really felt that the experience gave a great opportunity for some tactical insight and analysis. Things like knowing who would be the first to split off of south in NC if north got ambushed (Adam), or who, when they die at south, is more likely to switch to north (Lathazia), etc. etc. etc.
I had to step out after we finished to take care of a wicked headache, but next time I want to talk over what happened, how we did, and how we can polish up.
Also, maybe I won't be shooting you in the back as often. :P

Nice work Nugget! Had a good time scrimmaging with AC and FA. I went for 4+ hours while I think you "shut the place down". Please include me on all future events and if family or work does not have me tied up, I'm there!
On a side note, I have seen a big improvement in AC's WZ's play. In the "old" days, they appeared to just PEW PEW everything but now they have some effective strategies. Not saying that they or us are perfect, we can all use some "training" and "practice".
Thanks for taking the ball on this.....it is a pleasure to have you in the guild! (Even if you are a space slut, your are our space slut.....lol)

ACo wants to run again tonight, and we're going to balance out teams before we jump in. About an hour - hour and a half from now (that's 7:00-7:30 FA time). Gonna try and get someone to send a mass text, since I can't from my new phone yet >.>
-
See below.
-
I should be able to be there
-
Friday August 10th, we are running this again with ACo at 7 pm FA time (that is 8 est/7 central). If we have people who can come later, that's fine too, we're always rotating players for whatever reason. :)
Can you add this to the calendar for sign ups? If you prefer, I can add it for you as well.
-
Scratch that, they had another event scheduled that Rux forgot about. But he does want to start planning them as a 'regular' sort of thing for Friday nights.
-
I'll continue to make it to them as much as I can. It has been fun.
-
Anymore scheduled?
-
I haven't heard anything, maybe Arhie has...or I can check with Rux later tonight
-
I'll try and set something up for tomorrow :) Sorry I'm out of town, visiting family so I've been spotty at best.
