Props to him. He had good control over the lemmings. Don’t take offense as we call our own pug groups lemmings as well. Funny moment over the weekend when running with Bannok in EB, when he shouted in team chat ,“Lemmings, get off the door!”
Mostly we didn’t have lemmings in that group. We refer to them as pubbies, generally. Not sure anymore if I count for that title, anymore… Anyway, just about that entire zerg was in voice comms and listening to him. I hadn’t been able to be part of a group like that in a while. It was good to see.
I play on Maguuma
Uru Kalach (80-War)/Kalthin Leafletter (80-Rgr)/Kalfun Gai (72-Guardian)
Leader – An Unexpected Kinship (AUK)
I feel like this thread needs to be more active. So I found this ranking made by somebody from EBay in their matchup thread.
Maguuma – t3/4
Yaks Bend – t3/4
Ehmry Bay/SBI – t4/5
Borlis Pass – t5 strength (t4 population)
Crystal Desert – t5/6
Let us discuss this now.
Yeah I must be remembering some other night where we held East. CD still regularly resets all of our stuff. CD’s NA crew needs to start talking to CD’s night crew~
What can I say, I get around. I will say that you had a tough group running around your own BL’s last night. 30 strong that were smashing the SBI we had running around. I actually saw some tactics from this zerg, like mass invis and good movement. Wish I remembered the commanders name. It was the best I have seen from Mag in bigger numbers.
That was lead by me and the D|ERP train with a bunch of solid pubbies in mumble. Get out of EB it’s the worst place ever made and 10v50ing our pubbies in there shouldn’t be an accomplishment because they’re so bad. Trying to command in EB without a guild group of 15+ is mostly like trying to herd a bunch of autistic, declawed cats.
I’m still waiting for someone to take NW tower when we start farming it. Every time CD / SBI eventually give up and we leave to go find better badge farming. I can only imagine how terrified you all are when you actually take it back waiting for a hammer train to come raining down on top of you.
In other news, why has the [SBI] guild started straight up running from us when they see us coming? There were several times last night we were outnumbered by about 1.2-1.5x and they would fail a flank and then run the hell away. I was sad because you all have put up the best fights and have actually made me have to yell things other than “Stack up” and “Veil going down on the left” over and over.
Also every time we roll over you everyone is making lawnmower noises in mumble. Try to imagine the sound effects and it will probably make your gaming experience much better.

Seems legit. I’m sure Borlis Pass would beat us, unfortunately they have never been in a tier high enough to fight us yet, so it remains highly speculative.
If you’re going to say Yak’s and Mag are possible T4, I wouldn’t say Ehmry is T4. Ehmry lacks the numbers and coordination for T4, they wouldn’t and don’t stand a chance, even after the loss of our fair weathers. Dunno how they’re doing in T5 though.
CD is definitely T4, your strong oceanic presence gives you the numbers and lead you need over the other servers and to stand a fighting chance in the tier.

LOL…moving away does not mean we are running from you….(we see Guumbas running from us too at time)…….it might be tactical positioning……or just a feint to throw you off…..or we saw a bunny that needed killing……I’m not telling which……..we have pushed into very large Guumba zergs many many times…sometimes with very good results….and sometimes not so much….but almost always against much larger numbers and with much joy and fun……..we are not scared…lol…it’s only dying pixels after all…..don’t even leave a scar =>)
No, you literally run away. Like, run until we catch you or until you get out of combat and waypoint or head to a tower/keep. We understand trying to get to higher ground or a better position. But a some of you guys have just been bailing on fights despite having a number advantage.
My favorite thing to do is kill players who think a buffed supervisor will protect them. I just love shattering that illusion they have of safety.
Another week of this matchup would be pretty painful. Two more weeks would lead to some serious problems for SBI, and probably CD. Mag you really need to put the boot to the throat for all our sakes.
Rather find out, theres not enough movement in the tiers. 2 weeks of this and we’ll all be alt tabbed or afk in Lions Arch. No blame towards you (Mag), numbers being what they and current attendance being taken into account its borderline silly to participate. Is what it is though, probably every tier feeling this.

LOL…now the Guumbas are going to claim we have the numbers advantage…??? HA!!!
My bags are full of loots and badges…wonder how that happens?…hmmm o.O
If SBI guild was the one leading the SBI main group of Mag BL, we had a fun time playing back and forth games with you on mag BL. You have many hammers which Paralda would appreciate.
PYRO did a GvG with them, maybe they learned the way of the hammer there.
You are so kind to offer to teach us the way of the hammer. Too bad these guys did it months ago
12 pages thread, 90% being from a dozen of condescending Magumas trying to lure opponents into forum wars. I’m glad my SBIers stopped from posting here.
Seriously though – CDers probably remember our first matchup (YB/CD/SBI) – the thread was so much better. Then we ran into DR, now into Maguma. Well, things are what they are.

Chill, it was a joke. Speaking of hammers, though, that’s all we’re using in CD bl right now.

Trolljoy was a nickname given to be after our first guild bounty, when I cried wolf and claimed to have spotted the guy. It has nothing to do with this forum or that post. It was an honest assessment of a couple of situations with SBI, not the entire server as a whole. Was it that hard to follow?
There’s little doubt that we’ve outnumbered your [SBI]-led group a lot of the time (especially tonight, from the sounds of it), but it definitely didn’t look like it all of the time. The most distinct instance in my mind was when we came up our east keep road to engage since you were at our north gate and we knew there were a lot of you, but a bunch of you just disappeared one way or another. I doubt the numbers situation will get better as the week progresses, unfortunately (we had more in our BL zerg today than the weekends, oddly enough). But yeah, despite that instance and any others I wasn’t there for, you guys put up good fights during the weekend, and I’m happy for it.

Thank you for this. I do not come on these forums but I was pulled to this by a fellow guildee. I’m glad our 2 hammer warriors made such an impact on you that you thought we were many. I’ll take it as a compliment. =)
Reading thru the rest of the posts here, you guys really give [SBI] Champs too much credit. Really we only run about 5-8 [SBI] made of mixed classes sometimes lowbies too. The rest that run with us are ppl on TS or pugs who just follow but have no clue whats going on.
We are not in the level to compete as a server at Mags overall skill level from what I see. Still in the building blocks stage.
I wish we had the right classes that i’m trying to build for WvW but that target is still far away. Our server can learn alot from Mag. I hope they do.

One last reply before I vanish from these forums again. I knew we could not fight [DER]P led group that time because I saw thier lineup and the tactics being used.
I really really wanted to get my hammer wet becuase I’m into open field training right now but we’d probably just be lootbags for you at that time (which we were many times).
We had no mesmers. No veil. Not a single one. 1 ele. about 3-5 Heavy classes. Out of which only half was built for frontline. No necro. Hell i dont even know wtf everyone was rollign that night.
Without the basic skills I required to fight an enemy that utilized such, I felt we had to switch our tactics to hit and run.
For the record I did a headcount /supplyinfo. Less than 20. So yeah. If i can get what I need for a fight like that like the day before things might have been more exciting.
We don’t really worry about class composition or anything, we just had at least double your numbers the entire night. This only seems to happen when we’re winning, though.

A good way to get open field training is to participate in fight clubs and GvG. There are also a couple Maguumans that are willing to lend advice, tactics, help, and tips.
P.S. More fight clubs please. I need A LOT more practice and almost every time I try, I end up running into a group and getting my face smashed in.
I will miss the weekend where SBI put out some great fights on the borderlands.
