Hoffs had this.

An excellent event with a total of 30 participants, most of whom were there for the whole run. We were heavily out numbered and taken apart in the first town (Britain), but managed to hold our own generally over the next four. Ru of TnT helped win another town for Vice but Delores and Madison helped secure victory in the other three to give Virtue the overall win. Still, with the huge numbers we were facing, we ned to try and get more people in the field for future events.

Thanks all.
Yes Virtue did not have the numbers, but you do have one big advantage, you are all green to each others and can get full advantage of field spells.
Vice was splitted in 3 alliances so half of the orange was on our side. A little hard, when all run so fast and you have to check name/guild tag on orange before target them.
Was alot of chaos but great fun and at least TDO*/The Unwanted did win first town.

Congrats GIL for your great team work :)

Also the odds not as clear cut as it would seem, I was killed as much by "vice" as I was by Gil, at the end I was no longer sure who was friend or foe

I did attack a few vice with a mistake too but I believe they understood it was a mistake, believe I 2 times did hit a hidden Vice with a field spell and I know I wrong target Bo and Dark Star too so it may have been a mistake, that they attacked you too or if you made fields, it will make an Archer running in to it auto hit you.

I would like to inform anyone that cares IPKU may be considered Vice but we claim no loyalties to either side we have been known to attack either Vice or Virtue and we also have been known to run along side Virtue as well as Vice. So basically im saying dont assume we are on the same side just because the days actions show Vice tendencies tomorrows actions may be just the opposite.

These battles have been awesome and every week there seems to be more and more guilds out there i love seeing it
Play your style and have fun Siege.

I think it is fine if we have a vice group or two, who will choose to fight on their own or even fight side by Virtue if the balance is bad for Virtue however it would be nice to know, when you are with the Vice group and when you go alone or aid Virtue.

I was mostly healing, when multiple mages chain flamestrikes on you when you are stood waiting for players to form up at the start of a game, that is intentional, but yes, very often its mistakes

Looking for a wandering healer
One thing I appreciated was the high turnout just after the patch a few days ago. There are frequent comments about how on Atlantic pvp dries up for several days after a patch until the third party programs get updated, but it didn't seem to affect us at all. I think this might have been the most in a single battle at once I've seen.

Whoa sounds like everyone had a blast. Unfortunately I can never make it to weekend events due to work. Imagine if it was no loot all the time we could have this much fun everyday!

We were such a small group we were all in party so any non party members were targets for me, sorry if I hit anyone that was on our side. Zardoz still claims foul when that rune bug, nightmare and Greater Dragon were jumping all over his chest. ;) I learned real quick to run the other way when I saw that team coming toward me.

It can happen everyday if we want it to happen. As far I know, no one of this players will loot at VvV battles other times of the day/week, but I could be wrong as I rarely get looted at all. You may have to make them know, you are out looking for a fight.

If people know, you won't loot, most won't loot. Most just want some actions. No looting may be far away from what "Siege was meant to be" but who care if we have fun.

Also if you do want to loot, when out PKilling someone doing PvM, let them keep their and only loot, what they just looted from monsters, this way, they can go on with their monster killing right after. You get to kill and they get a adrenalin kick or some of them do.

People are way more willing to PvP if they know, their combat gear is safe. You can even stay around, let them get a friend or two, if non PvP'ers and try to take back the monster loot.

Share the fun and you will have fun.

As many times I died, during the VvV battles I have been to, no one looted a thing, one thing that I got a laugh at was on Ocllo at the healers, three people were exiting the healers still wearing the death robe when Zardoz runs by, we all stop, Zardoz says "I don't rez kill", and was typing "run along you are not the droids I seek" when they all took off back to their bodies. Since they were moving east, I felt it was better to go west so as not to give them a feeling that I was chasing them.

Res kill do happens, when so many around but most times, it is followed of a sorry and a res if they see you dropped to fast.

Now I just get my stuff, heal up, remount and join the fun again, stat loss or not. Sure I may drop easier but the stat loss timer to not reset if you die again, so sometimes I res with full stats second time and did help kill someone before I died second time.

Freja i guess best bet would be assume ipku is fighting as a solo team (we dont belong to an alliance ipku at the moment is a stand alone guild)
unless we talk on the battle firld any type of feild alliance would be decide during the fight

It's funny, when my alliance before the fight, asked who was with us, my answer was most Vice (RES, B^A, TBB including Ramerius and his beetle, Parser) would fight with our alliance (TDO*, HOoO, VIC and MAD!).
CLAN and maybe IPKU would be on their own, as I never know where I have you :p
