On the contrary I don’t think you will find a lot of people undermining JQ outside of just pure egging them on to fight. Most people here have a great deal of respect for JQ as they have the longest standing history and the guilds/people that are representative have been genuinely good people (from JQ of course).
The egging is more or less just coaxing them into giving great fights which compared to the past 3 weeks vs SoR have been way closer by comparison. I for one know the Jedians won’t give up till the week is over.
At this point you are just feeding the trolls (primarily SoR as I already recognize a few of them have posted here) to assist them in their efforts of undermining this weeks matchup/thread. Also in general based on your post history thus far you have sent very mixed responses in your messages. A lot of the times it is trying to point fingers at your fellow servermates instead of supporting them. It isn’t a matter of yay/nay to BG pride when you are trying to call out others openly for mistakes they made in combat on a forum when you can easily utilize the community TS or other routes to voice your concerns. Your name has also been popping up around the community from what I’ve heard for causing drama since you have arrived. I don’t know you so I’m not going to judge, but others may have already thrown their hat in that ring so maybe tone down some of the mixed anti-BG messages/complaints. We are a community and we are suppose to be supporters of that not detractors from it.
I’ve already said I’m not going to complain anymore about my servermates’ performance or mistakes. At least I did in the previous thread before it got canned.
I will say though that a big part of the reason we’re leading JQ and steamrolled SoR is because we have a numbers advantage. The fact is we have queues on all four maps almost all the time. We are so often queued that people often feel that “no queue for this map” is worth reporting. Try playing for a server like SoS where “no outnumbered buff” is worth reporting, then you’ll know just how stacked Blackgate is.
Because of our population advantage, if we win this matchup it’s not something worth boasting about. In fact I’d say boasting – or, worse, to claim that we don’t have a numbers advantage (i.e. we are not stacked) – is insulting to our opponents, who are doing a great job considering the disadvantage they’re fighting against. It’s not just JQ as well; SoS are doing great too. Before I transferred to BG I played for SoS, and in the SoS / FA / JQ matchup not long ago we couldn’t even get our keep in Overlook upgraded. Yet this week Overlook is T3 and has been defended successfully against two T1 servers running on full queues. With their current population SoS will not be able to compete with JQ or BG, but they’re still doing great in their own way.
Finally note that in spite of Blackgate’s population advantage, JQ still managed yesterday to claw back the BG’s lead and even build up a few thousand points of its own lead. Considering that we were still queued all the time, the only way this could have happened was because JQ played very well. By extension this means that Blackgate could’ve played better (or for the less diplomatic SoR forum trolls, Blackgate played badly, but I’m not going to go there). We should realize this, because acknowledging that our own play isn’t the best is the first step towards getting better.
You can say what I wrote is negative and is undermining BG’s efforts, but I think SoR’s complaints about how stacked Blackgate is have a point.
By the way thanks to JQ for actually showing up and playing, and playing hard. This match has been very intense and fun so far. Even if BG eventually wins this, I give you guys credit for doing as well as you have against the numbers advantage.
we did a golem parade later last night after that but jq was not happy and started hitting things.
