Some familair faces

4 days is a long time in lineage and it seems that silence once again decends on the wispers of Silver Radiance as 300 and PiLimit got there way and took Giran and IGG respectivly... Thank goodness as such good players should not be moaning like bitchness everytime the lose a fight :P

Non the Less I hear that few numbers and siege times when not many were on ensured the result was going only one way !!!

Well done to PiLimit and 300.... I look forward to a few more good fights ^^

We have a few familiar faces back in the pledge after an all too long absence... In particular I am pleased to welcome Conal back into the fold as rings clearly have enough 60+ tanks and do not need another one !!!!! .... me on the other hand could do with just such damage slave !! and boy is he a good one to have !!!

One of our first hunts was to Lasta Basement which was good fun apart from the mops there love to kick the hell out of heal masters..... first boss was Blaze !!!



Who we ended... Troje got the bag and said it contained 200adena !!!! typical.... shortly after we got kicked out of the room >.<

The party was: Troje, Justifier, Dakeeblerelf, myself and Conal

It was a great start to what I hope is prolonged spell in the pledge, what is rings loss is surley our gain. Since then conal has gone on to end Seers and Vampires with a lil help from our next arival.......... Drum Roll........

Crimson Claws..... Welcome back CC... he has conquered all game bosses with his might kaiser smacker, but this time he has picked a challange feared by anyone....

To get Justifier to level 50 ^^

I wish him every luck in his endevours :)

Sometimes you just get it wrong !!!



Running a column like this is hard work for a number of reasons....

- People do not like that you have taken the piss, finding a balance betweeen humour and griefing is tricky

-People feel that the the things you said were not accurate.

- Sometimes you follow a logical path which gives you an incorect solution !!!

The top 2 I am not too bothered about as I do things in good taste and always in humour !!! the final point however is a biggie.. with more and more people reading my blog it is important that everything I write is accurate.

I wrote a post abut a player in our pledge EvilMagii that we kicked out of our pledge for being a bot... we followed did some research then some more and the result was that we thought we had a bot in our pledge.

The reality is that some players have special circumstances, they could be foreign language speakers who can barley scrape together Hi or a smile. They could be disasbled and have mental slowness, they could just be so damn wasted that he is in his own little world....

We all have differnt reasons for playing Lineage, for some it something that makes them smile and takes them away from things in real life.... I have to imagaine if I logged in only to get a message that my account had been de-activated for failure to meet terms of play... how would I feel !!!

Evilmagii is not a bot...... and I got it wrong ... very wrong !!!

Several people in pledge know him in real life and he just has some personal circumstances for not answering.... that does not mean the wis I got wrong because it was a good call ^^. It does not mean that we did not have evidence to support him being a bot... the fact is that despite all of this I still made the wrong choice !!!

Spare a thought for the monitors as this is a situation they face every day !!!!

Thankgiving Event Post !!!

I have been asking people to come forward and show me there +9/10 event items I have been putting something together for this blog and I hope the main lineage site as well. It is not finished yet, as there is another one that I need to make up as well... but I need some more names !!!

Come on now Don't be shy !!! drop me a wisper on ZjoeZ it only take 2 mins






There is still time I will be looking for some more names over the weekend and I will submit it to Lyz early next week.

I have also found out that Lyz reads my blog o.o

I reminded her that my blog was a little cheeky !!!

*** News Flash ***

There has been a lot of talk on the forums about 5% exp loss instead of 1%... which lets face it would be a disaster for the game... so I took an opportunity to speak to Lyz about it. This is what she had to say on the matter :)


I think it is great we finally have someone who can give the community a voice in the NC office :D

Bot Buster !!!!


Bot Busters - To the theme of Ghostbusters theme song !!

If there's somethin' strange in your Hunting ground
Who ya gonna call... Bot Buster
If it's auto-hunt an it don't look good
Who ya gonna call... Bot buster

.....I ain't afraid a no Bot
.....I ain't afraid a no Bot

Lyz dropped by TOS to "take care of 1 bot"... Personally I think that is freakin awesome !!!

I forgot to equip my Killg ring and when we got swamped I could nto turn then fast enough so SuaSponte seized the opportunity to show off and "save me" he he !!!

WOW... A propper siege

Tonight saw a fantastic seige between the powers that be on Ken server...IIIIII'nnn the red corner...

Credance
SLM
ResolutionRings
MUT
and friends

IIIIIIInnnnn the blue corner.....

PiLimit
300
X11

I was catching up on some exp loss after chief mermaid showed me who was boss when global came to life and stated that Credance alliance had won the fight against PiLimit alliance.... There was cheering on Global and all of a sudden Giran was packed full of PiLimeveryone stopped what they were doing and came to watch.... then everyone started picking sides :D..... then...... we had a seige !!!

When I first arrived I was expecting a hostile reception... which I kind of got, not helped by some dodgy intel (Thanks for that !!)


Credance were superior in numbers with around 50ish defenders and PiLimit had only 20-25... yet they broke through and busted up the tower pretty good.



Credance were well organised with a strong line of tanks and after some desperate defending someone called the order for a tower switch :D..... (A very good move!!). The tower would be repaired but everyone would be booted out and it would be a mad dash back to the tower.....


The risk worked as the defenders ran to tower and amassed in far greater numbers with a lot more organisation... They broke the line at the main gate but there was no way through to the tower for PiLimt who came.... and came... and came relentlessly !!




They were faced with overwealming numbers and could not find a way through... slowly but surley Credance pressed, pegging them at the front gate. But PiLimit would not stop.... Speakers and 037 (PiLimit) were fearsome tanks taking many many players to stop them.

As the seige went on Credance became more and more organised and I think it is safe to say that the differnce between a win and a loss was the organisation of a large group of 10 elfs who worked as a unit to provide extra firepower for the tanks who were mercilisly smacked around by PiLimit !!!



Not to be outdone the tanks pressed and presssed to secure the front gate repelling wave after wave of attacks... The pack of Credance,SLM,RING and MUT tanks were not letting anything through !!



Eventually they pressed them far enough to regain the main gate and then they started to pick them off as they took the fight to PiLimit...

That marked the end of a frantic seige which was a best totally biased towards Credance, with greater numbers PiLimit might have had a chance and still caused problems with considerbly few numbers.... Credance/SLM/Rings/MUT were well organised, have some really strong players and worked togther so deserved there hard fort victory...



Congrats to the Credance alliance

There were a number of deaths from 300 (did not get screenshots!!) but the best 2 are below!!!!..... both at the end of the seige when no exp is lost ^^





Nami got ended for going camping at the back of the seige... (lol!)

Edit - He later confirmed he did not want to use pots so instead of tele he let himself die ( he wanted to make sure that this blog this factual !!... and it is) consider the post amended !!


......Speakers got ended for spending too much time in DVC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny bits from around the server !!!

Bored !!!!

I got bored of the event and have been hanging out in seige zones for a bit of a laugh.... I had a poke around Kent as I normally do on a Tuesday and went to see Orc fortress as well today....
