Kent siege 4/5

Good morning,


I went to the Kent siege today and it saddens me that Zen lost kent this will mean I have to run down to mlc 3 to get caspa pack.... that is quite anoying. There is also the fact that slm continues to own most castles so overall I am quite sad.

It has been a while since I have had such a busy wis panel, however I will cover the siege first as the rest of the stuff is a lil daft !!!

Someone mentioned to me that I am a jinx and I never come to the sieges where SLM get beaten :( ..... it is quite frestrating for me as well as I get wis saying I missed awesome siege :(((


Maybe I am a jinx o.o !!!

Eternety BP is not one to give up and it was another spirited performance from the pledge who are emeraging as a talented set of siegers a few people mentioned that to me today as well Meph and his boys are doing a good job.

For the most part they keep trash talk to a minimum and go about there business in a well manored way. It was SLM today that could not resist a good gloat !!

I want to point out it is really easy to sing when your winning and with the odds stacked in your favour it is easy to invite then to the other side of the flags knowing you have so much support... Troje you were doing this all day it does not suit you..... you do not strike me as a person who goads the opposition then when they come running you hide behind the 3 level 60 tanks !!!

I wis him afterwards :)



This siege started off with Zen lining up his boys, however SLm quickly arived in numbers and quickly took charge of the seige area. This Siege was only going to go one way as SLM had 8 60+ chars roaming around.




Eternety came at SLM time and time again, with too much luck. After fully securing the area they moved in a prince.




After this there was a stand off as SLM were too great in numbers. Just when I thought we were going to see an uncharateristic white flag I saw an awesome move....

Speakers is brought onto the field all of a sudden the SLM camp was calling for buffs and quickly getting ready for the coming assalt from speakers who as you know I am quite a fan of. Yes he is botted but he causes lot of problems for SLM and can often turn a battle on it's head.



Up pop speakers at the main gate .....



Then a quick sneak round for Chrysis and Swordhunter to the side gate for same gate smashing.... unfortuatly the did not make it through, however this very nearly worked... it deserved to !!

By the time Zen arived SLM had got enough people back to defend.


This was another victory for SLM, however a glimpse of what's to come from the promising blood pledge eternity.

Thankyou you to both sides for not attacking me, apart from my abligitory trip arrow from darkcasm (lol!). On a side note can I please remind people at the siege that Silver Radiance is a neutral pledge and that I do not siege.

Justi has given us all instructions that if we want to siege we leave SR and rejoin afterwards. Whilst syni and others may wish to siege in the near future I am not sieging. There are still a few who like to remind me I am fair game in the siege zone and that is true so I accept it :)

Idle Gossip

Hello everyone,

The server has been quite quet this week I attended heine, giran and kent sieges and nothing really up to much a few castles changed hands but there was not much of a fight.

On the forums I posted about the pledges that are strong at sieging and Crysis was all to eager to point out angel club as a silent but deadly pledge i.e when they turn up in numbers you should hand over the keys to your castle or they will take it..... and so it was the case with heine angel declare 10 mins later MUT no longer holds castle.... I did not see the fight however syni tells me it was quick and painless ^^.

Sieges

Congratulations to Eternity for 2 reasons.


Kicking franse out of the pledge as he multi users. I have never been so insulted over something so trivial... note to fransance MANNERS COST NOTHING !!!!

The other reason is that they have left kent open like they said they would do...... I hope you keep kent for a while longer however I fear taht when SLM next come knocking there will be more then 2.

I was having an interesting converstion regarding sefiroth who braved th entire eternity defense by himself and it is amazing how much damage he can take he has 6 guys pounding on him and he still managd to walk away





.... anywaythe interesting point came when the person said.

"Sefiroth is kinda wierd"

"how so I reply"

"he can somehow hit me from 4 cells away.... x.x"

The person in question is not your normal hate monger or cheat accuser so this was quite interesting for me !!! why do I miss all of these stuff.... I have not seen this particualr hack on sef but will keep an eye out :)

300

So I thought that when papi moved on and Sua took over that 300 would be on the mend.... out would go the huge over extended ego's and trash talk that filled global under it's previous prince. To a certain extent I was right and it has been kept in check. I have seen the likes of Kantor, ravensky. Blackjack21 around and about and they are the model preffessionals being gentlemen they are, however all to happy to grab there sword and smack you a few times if needed :)

So the 300 we all know and love ..... erm not quite !!!

Unfortunatly it is people like Sua who let the server and himself down with stupid actions that hurt his pledge and his own repuatation... lets recap.

Duringthe giran siege Syni wis me and said something had happened that was a bit wrong !!! so I had a chat with the player as I like to get both sides of the story. I was expecting for him to be some stuck up kid that deserved it and Sua did us a favour..... unfrotunatly not !!! He was a nice friednly person who was new to tha game and had lots of questions I even lent him some armour until he gets on his feet.... I had to force him to take it as he wanted to work for it and not be given stuff for free (a breath of fresh air!!)


He went on to explain that he had also visted the grian siege and was taking a look around the castle when he came across lucky who after chatting with him escorted him to some where safe where they chatted some more.

Then up comes Sua apparently ends him in 3 hits then just runs off without any kind of appology !!!
Syni tells me that he came back 2 mins later and appologised and Lucky ressed him, however it does seem that old habits die hard !!!!

I am sure that after this I will get countless wispers saying how bad it is I wrote this, however I have a screen shot and transcript... the truth hurts sometimes !!

Millamare return from lineage rehab

Welcome back Milla and corro who also came along for a while. We went to hunt lasta with ZwarlordZ aka maddog and had some fun..... until I accidentily subbed escape scrolls for escape scrolls..... hunt ended :(

Sorry again guys :\

Thankyou to Maddog for running through some pledge hunt formations ^^

No sooner had milla come back that she says something very funny :)

Milla confesses that she and corro are recovring Lin addicts he he !!!

Interesting !!!!

I was trawling the internet for various bits and peices on lin looking for some inside knoweldge on the next big thing.... I came across this little beauty !!


Omg.... totaly busted !!!!

Final note

SR seems to be the place to be with another elite player joining the already swollen ranks.... welcome AmericanGirl.

With the new players in the pledge I have found time to hunt with some genuinly talented players which has helped me learn a lot more about hunting/pledge hunt dynamics, however I still enjoy my hunts with conal ^^

I had the chance to link in with AG and Augi who I had heard about, however not hunted with. We went up for a mummy lord and after 3 mins had already started teasing me about the fact I need a GPS ......

We got to 60 in the end did'nt we :P


Then he left me with little nugget !!!! .... some people like cheerleaders, some like fat girls (see previous post) other like Augi are MILF hunters !!!!

maybe you should change aftershave !!! :P

Giran Siege 21/4

This Giran siege was only ever going to go one way with SLM having far superior numbers, howver it was a good fight and 300 got stuck in once again.

This sige was however a good siege for several reasons..... I saw some people sieging using there heads not there swords...

1. Someone using the back door.... forgive me for being stupid but if there is a shit load of 60+ at one gate.... why not try the other one !!!!

Some good initiative from Susponte !!!



2. Buri Buri in crawling hand poly.... nice move !!!

Unfortunatly with no ac he died a few times..... but it made me laugh when 5 SLM were playing chase the hand through the garden only for him to go and hid in a bush ha ha !!!! very funny ^^


During the sige there was some death..... No one likes to see dead mages :(((




The siege was over SLM had a confortable victory, however that was not the end >.<

Heine Siege 15/4

Thankyou once again to everyone who lets me drop in on Sieges.

I checked in on Heine seige that saw ZenSword from bloodpledge eternity defend against SLM and rings. When I normally swing by I see all sorts of preperation going on.

.... Knights checking pots
..... Mages checking M-Gems


However this time I saw this o.o !!!



This made me chuckle and made me wonder what stype of a siege this was going to be !!!




The siege started off with some light skirmishs and a few deaths, so I thought I would stay and see how things progressed.


Eternity BP were defienat in there defence who bravly faught chars superior in level, however could not hold them off forever..... right lets take the fight inside.


Bizzarly SLM were reluctant to take the crown, I am not sure if this was tactical or that they did not have a royal to take the castle :\. SLM formed up ready for the incoming attack.


And it certainly came with Eternity re-taking the tower area and forming up, hower you always know that with time still left to siege there were always going to come back... and they did.




Shortly after SLM took the castle and formed up at the front of the castle.



I only got a few snaps of this siege which does not show how brave Eternity pledge was and that they are shapping up to be a nice little siege pledge...

Angrim caused lots of trouble for Eternity... that is until he got decay pot by BlackJack21 and venzed >.< ..... however Agrim always re-appeared 2 mins later ready to rain hell (until he got decay pot again!!!). I have said this a number of times now and that is mages and elfs cause a lot of problems in a siege yet they are not often see non ken ..... When you look at LOA siege videos they are the ones causing the death :\

well done to ZenSword for putting in a good fight.

Lyz drops in

it has been a long time since Lyz has visited me, and still the wait goes on :P, however she dropped in on Conal who I was hunting with to say a few things about the up and coming stat redo.

I would like to point out that this blog was the first blog to break the new guidlines on the stat redo. I have seen a few other blogs dropping the material I dropped 5 months ago :P

Here is another exclusive from Lyz with a few further details and refinement on how Hp will be worked out... If you suffer from knight envy then look away now, this ain't pretty !!!!







A huge Thankyou to Lyz for dropping by it is always great to see you :)..... Conal also put a lot of effort into making the forecaat spreadsheets to help the community and he also makes lots of posts on the forums. I feel his contribution often gets overlooked :(

Good job with this Conal !!

It's been a while/ Idle gossip :)

Hi Everyone,

Lineage has been a huge rollacoaster ride for me of late. my wireless internet connection is slowley sucking the fun out of this game for me which is a huge shame as I like playing it so much.

Further more I have gone back to uni and have not had that much time to play, however the main reason I have no updated the blog to be honest is taht I have been a bit lazy I have continued to collect content in my capture folder that is now 700mb big o.o !!!

Also I have spent so much time camping caspa pack then some babo goes and gets a merk cap !!!! god damn !!!!

So lets start with a few funny bits from around the server.....

Global fun

Other funny bits .....

You know when a joke is so bad it is funny !!!



Grats to Synyster on getting to level 52

After a large amount of being teasted about beeing a noober Syni finally reaches level 52. He has been getting there slowley but surley until he decided that enough was enough and did a 18% day o.o to leave him at 98%.

He then finished off that morning before going to work :)

Grats Syni you really do deserve it... maybe now you can afford to buy some MR :P !!!!

Come one Come all !!!

I huge welcome to the new commers to Silver Radiance in addition to Sk8, Cossa, War, Augi, DL we also have Trevor, Moli and Friar Joe which makes SR a busy place nowadays. I have always said SR is a fun place to be and now it seems we half the server in our pledge..... It seems just's recruitment strategy of

" If you press /join I will give you n-zel " works on high level players as well as noobers o.o

Lasta 4f

Whilst some babo was raiding caspa pack for a merk cap I was in lasta 4 having a great time... although it was quite tough for me I had a lot of fun. I was kindly donated a DK scroll as well as I was able to go to the holy land which was really cool....

The migits with 6 packs made me laugh so much I nearly fell off my chair and the ootyu were really cute... until they attacked at which point I was running around shouting " get it off me.... get it off me, I did'nt mean all those mean things Mad Dog.... get it off me" he he !!

Thankyou very much for inviting me along, although it will need to be a treat by the time we finihsed it was 6:30am for me x.x !!!

Note to anyone going with this lot..... DO NOT LET MAD DOG PULL THE MOPS !!!

Aden siege 27/3

Well what started off as a day of me trying to get to 10% resulted in lag deaths all around :(.... I was just getting bored and swung by kent to see what was going on and I saw this .....




This was a little strange to say the least.... any prince who fancied kent could have it ( even Justi who would no doubt d.c 5cm from the crown and still claim it >.<). I thought this was very strange becuase it was an SLM owned castle and they are rarley so charitable with there castles !!

Then I got a wis saying there was a siege going on in Aden.... and boy it was a big one.... On one side we had the juganaut that is SLM with rings submitting there heavy hitters... rings are also very experienced holding IGG now for a good 6 months on a very regular basis and showed it... SLM lack strong bow elfs so it is a good job rings brought theres ^^

The other team were formed up of 300 (now headed up by Suasponte) Pilimit who can boast a range of talent including Speakers, royal family who largly provided fodder for Oin :( and noob club who are not afriaid of a fight and have 037 umungst there ranks.

This was always going to be a good fight and I predicted a close encounter.

SLM are very patient they will happily sit for hours and repel waive after waive with no appearance of bordom there stratagies are largly based on atttrition and form very strong defensive units.

The tactics the sieging side used were very smash and grab and frustrated slm for long periods slowly drawing them out and using up their pots.

It started off with a standard siege layout with around 10 a side with SLM forming around the main tower.

But it soon it became apparent that this was not going to be a pledge dipping there toes in the water as each side got more and more people involved.






SLM, as you would expect were very diciplined and experienced and set out there stall early claiming the tower as the ground to hold and forming a cube around it, however there are always 3 people that can really do some damage it tends to be the same 3 names....




And do not get me wrong SLM are packed full of talent with many 60+ but these 3 once were like a thorn in SLM's side all day !!!




Here we see Oin and next to him is 037 drawing a few SLM out into a small skirmish on the edge.

More and more people got invloved with SLM around 30 in number franticly defend the tower against a repeated onslaught each time they came a few more pots were used up this was going to be a battle of attrition and it was one that SLM were very prepared for.


Despite the best efforts of Pilimt and Co there first wave was repeled... round 1 to SLM.



On so many occasions SLM has outlasted there opponents by stobernly defending the tower using what seems to be an endless supply of pots with the ability to absorb damage and deal it in equal measure..... not this time !!!

By this time there were ring side seats available and I would just like to say thankyou to both sides for not attacking me whilst I was taking photos :)



.... there was one ( there is always one)... chance you babo E-bind me once is an accident but twice is just stupid >.< !!
Pilimit, 300, royal and noob came back and had a plan... it was a good one and it worked well.... mages send in wave after wave of LS and MS as the tightly packed SLM group just stayed resolute.... they had to they had no elfs to repell the mages !!

This led to 2 things !!!

1. SLM coming after the mages and engaging knights on the edge of the square, which created this beauty of an opportunity !!!

2. death of mages .... no one likes to see it !! (lol!)


Me and syni(babo) were commenting throughout and slightly after I said about speakers and 037 and then this happened ..... after SLM broke rank 037 and Speaker came through the middle !!!!



WITH 20 MINS to go !!!!!!!!!!!! the breakthrough happened !!!

Then came the call..... from Loushah !!!



come one come all..... with SLM on the ropes now was the chance to take up arms.... for every time you go to kent to find it closed, for everytime you want to hunt giran for every time Beleth takes your fancy only to find closed doors... now was the time to defend !!!!

I have no idea who LuoShah is as I asume that is not his main char but it made a refreshing change from the trash talk going on on global !!! I have had the pleasure of chatting to LuoShah when he was in noob tos and was a nice guy... maybe you will wis me with your real Identity batman !!!!

The previosly imperious SLM had fallen there battle of attrition was lost due to the sheer determination Pilimit and Co !!!! with SLM's weakness bare for all to see !!!!



For the first time Pilimit, 300, Noob club and Oin were is possetion of a 5m a week castle !!! they formed up around the tower ready for the inevidtable SLM attack that was assembling outside. 10 mins and they would be the first alliance to break the iron grip of SLM !!!! GAME ON !!!


If SLM showed that they miss elfs and mages from the pledge as there weakness, they sure as hell showed what there strength was. Wth SLM not needing to sit tight and out pot there opposite number they set about slaughtering all in there path with the array of talent they have at there dispossal.

SLM made short work of the defenders and reclaimed there castle with 5 mins to go in show of brute force.... with so many 60+ there was unlikley to be any other outcome !!



I like rings especially there prince who I think is very down to earth and of course high lev ^^ so it is funny that he should wis me and remind me that speakers is bottted... yes he is but he is still a bloody beast !!!! (this was in responce to me shouting on global that Speakers is a monster!!)

Whenever I see him at a siege he causes a lot of damage !!

I would also like to point out that NO PLEDGE !!!!! are 100% angels every pledge has the occasional botter or brought char or adena buyer or uses scroll macro's.

Overall another SLM win, but this time they had to fight for it !!! I was a great siege even better then the giran one a few months back !!!

* on a side note I cannot help but mention Nowudie.... I have hunted with you before and yes your a strong and skilled char, however please remember that once upon a time you were bad mouthing on global at SLM when you were at 300 !!!
