Currently we are looking to boost the activity level all round for SBI. If you are in Tier 1 and are on an opposite server, you may have found that there has been a decline of WvW activity from our neck of the woods for the last month or so. I would like to see if we can liven things up a bit and get some extra numbers in all timezones out there.

Consolidation of coverage:
There have been inner workings that are slowly but surely going back in a more positive direction. One of these items is simply using a calendar to get the overall guild schedule down. We are not looking to burn all WvW guilds out, we are just looking to see when a team intends on being available for coverage. They don’t even have to sign up on a specific map, just the time/day is fine enough.
The current weakest times are EU and Oceanic. Currently we are seeking teams in all timezones to liven up competition for all servers and provide a higher grade of entertainment for everyone all round. Without each other populating our servers properly we will not be able to entertain each other. Without being able to kill some of you out there would take all the fun out of the game.
The officers of SF have banded together and would like to support more community members, please read the following

SF is willing to invest in SBI’s future
In an effort to help recruitment the SF treasury will support EU or Oceanic guilds of considerable size and determination who are willing to xfer to SBI. We will buy enough influence for them to rank up their guild on SBI pending an evaluation period where we can ascertain their commitment to and effect on SBI WvW.
If you stumble across a viable guild candidate put them in touch with Hoschi or Jedbacca to discuss. If holding your guild back from transferring is due to the need to level up your guild, we will do the best we can to assist in that department.
We have members farming up in dungeons to support the community and selling everything they earn in WvW and putting it toward siege or community building.

Strategies:
Per the norm we have guilds working together to always reverse engineer strategies utilized against us. As a Tier 1 server for so long we have seen a lot of interesting tactics utilized against us and have been successful at countering by reverse engineering. Our server enjoys high end tactics being utilized and being utilized against us.
Communication:
The main source of communication is our forums. A lot of our guilds are willing to work with each other on multiple voice comms and we do have a public voice comm as a centralized means of communication that is utilized on an ‘as needed’ basis.
Education:
We have a multitude of teams that are very open to assisting with players that are newer to WvW. As a GM myself I have taken plenty of players that have not stepped foot on a WvW BL and now screams at the screen shouting profanities as of someone stole his cookie dough running to kill pixels on a screen.
Community:
For the most part everyone is laid back. We frown upon exploiting, even to the point of advising commanders on other servers to assist us in reporting the bad apple. We are willing to work with other servers to keep our streets clean and safe from crime. I personally love the community and am willing to work with as many members of the community as possible. Everyone is very generous and are willing to go to bat for those guilds that cannot afford comm tags that are proven good leaders out there and bring each other up as a community. The communities focus is to mainly play for fun, yet get serious when we want to as well.
Thank you for reading and I hope to see results or hear from even those smaller teams out there, you guys make a difference too!
