You know you're a scout when ...
You’re dirt broke but still won’t sell the siege in your bags.
You’ve died running off cliffs while manically typing out enemy movement.
been there done that!!
You spend eight hours on a map testing out new siege placement … And suckering in teammates to help you figure out trajectories.
You die and still keep typing like mad to let map know where the enemy’s going.
You kamikazee into a blob to delay them flipping a camp so help can get there.
The enemy blob knows your solo guild tag.
You actually sweep for mesmers.
You die as you check the map to see if any towers have swords on them.
You see a single different color sentry in the middle of the ruins on a map all your color and insist on flipping it.
You politiely step out of a camp or senrty circle you have just started flipping when you see a fellow scout frantically running your way to get some of the credit.
Commie trades your life for knowing how many attackers are preparing to siege outside. Scene is from The Hateful Eight (2015)
You buy a second monitor to watch all four maps.
Not mine, but a classic I enjoy very much
when you tab back into wvw from gw2wvw.net and notice 35 mad Charr Guardians just broke your watergate and are coming up the stairs.
You spend a quarter of every hour running around attaching yourself to siege so it doesn’t disappear
Enemies will send a pm to you asking if you’re that solo Warrior known as “Banner Man” & you have no clue on how you got that nickname.
p.s.
Ok…I might know why, but that seriously wasn’t my primary build!!!

When people ask you who is going to watch over home bdl when they find you on another map.
Madness Rises [Rise] – Banners Hold.
Don’t argue with idiots, they pull you down their level and own you with experience.

OMG! I LOVED this video!!!!
I hadn`t seen it before. It`s brilliant
(especially the 10 SFR vs one heartbroken scout lol, oh so many times)
You get a whisper from an enemy roamer you barely beat after fighting them for 5 minutes in the middle of freaking nowhere congratulating you on a good fight and asking for a rematch.
When you land the perfect mortar shot to take out that solo Bali trying to kill all your south Bay seige and you, and send the operator of the bali flying backwards. GOAL!
[HaHa] Hazardous Hallucination
When things get hairy you book it to the nearest body of water knowing you’re going to win any underwater fight you get into.
You understand but still object to auto upgrades taking away your free thought.
[HaHa] Hazardous Hallucination
when you’re headed for the gate to scout the next target as the claiming circle goes up.
When you are an a slow blob guard build and you still brake away from the blob to see whats up with those swords that poped un in a tower…..
You’re running up the stairs to every tower and keep’s lord’s room and just miss the capture because you were flipping the sentry so the enemy only saw one dot. Every time.
when your build is custom rather than meta-battle because none of those have quite the right balance of speed, DPS, sustain and stats.
when you’ve answered the question “eyes Hills?” at the same time as it’s asked.
When you’ve defended a tower for the last 20 minutes with one arrow cart and 73 supply just to have the zerg to arrive just as the wall goes down.
You’re trebbing, ramming or cataing a tower only to have an opposing team come and capitalize off your work, then immediately respawn and start again because it’s the PRINCIPLE!
[HaHa] Hazardous Hallucination
You run completely past an opponent showing no interest into a tower because you are worried about the siege decay timer.
You get the scout of the week award and give it to two others, because your fellow scouts are as poor as you.
when you’ve answered the question “eyes Hills?” at the same time as it’s asked.
When you kept calling it Bay and Hills on DBL.
When you’ve defended a tower for the last 20 minutes with one arrow cart and 73 supply just to have the zerg to arrive just as the wall goes down.
And then you’re the only one left to repair the wall.
…. And the tower has zero supp
When you run free accounts on extra computers to passively scout towers/keeps while actively scouting on a main account.
When wvwintel or mos is always up in a second monitor.
When you actively block players that confuse east and west on map chat sending you to the wrong tower.
When a zerg shows up to you in a T3 then leaves since they know it isn’t going to happen.

When you got so used to pin up and type in map chat, “XX server zerg! My tag!”
You run frantically to get credit for flipping a tower as you had diverted from the Zerg to see why there crosses on Hills . You do not make it in time and as your zerg leaps the walls to proceed to the next tower you notice the enemies siege still up against the back wall of that just flipped tower and spend the next 5 minutes taking it down because someone has to do it.
You’re the only one on the map but you can rally the troops from other maps to respond because you don’t call unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.
Not mine, but a classic I enjoy very much
Event failed…brought tears to my eyes.
Hehehe…then starting all over again…9-5 attitude brought smiles back again.
+1
You coordinate tapping enemy Keeps directly opposite of your Home Zerg’s attack.

How the hell did I miss this gem?!
When you type out numbers, server, location, and then 30 seconds later have someone ask the status of your tower/keep.
/sigh.

Wow a linked video that is actually worth watching. I actually watched all 5 mins of that….very good. On another note….do people like this still exist? It’s rather touching they go through all that work for nothing.
The Tiny Yuno Sniper of Ebay [EBAY]
Your wvw rank is still way below 1,000.
And you don’t care
You die just to throw siege disable to give the comm an extra few seconds to get to tower/keep.
When you are screaming at the enemy zerg to leave bay alone so you can go back to watching the anime youv been burning through for 2 hours.
You miss being able to do this to contest circles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j54bkD-3Nr0

Hahahaha…Bravo Zulu!
You cried when they nerfed the small Guild’s ability to create Catapults.
You creid even more when you found out that Catapults took more supply to build.
You stared in disbelief when you found out that they nerfed Traveler Runes & Golems.
But, applauded when they brought down the Catapult Build Costs to appease you.
We’re soo easy to make happy…

You decide in the wee hours of the morning to run havoc tag to organize everyone. And you kill them all. Lol. Sigh.
You’re out tapping the gate of the Opposite Keep that’s on the other side of the map from where your Server’s Main Zerg is really attacking.
You have the Port to Button for Citadel or Spawn WP up for a quick evacuate while running around doing solo havoc & camp capping on outnumbered maps.
