Nice work, everyone on Dragonbrand borderlands tonight! Big shoutout to Dragonbrand and their garrison defense tonight against my drinking-game/offensive. Honorable mention to Kaineng for possibly giving one of our commanders alcohol poisoning.
Just a friendly reminder that today is your last day to get out of Maguuma for free! As you can see, the bandwagon got stuck in the mud, and isn’t going anywhere for a while. If this applies to you, now is your last chance to transfer to another server for your world completion cheeves.
Every minute you wait is a minute not spent karma training on Sea of Sorrows’ Furnace !
Given the current state of things, I’d like to propose an alliance between Maguuma, Yak’s and IoJ.
If you would be so kind as to not fight each other and just cap all of our stuff, I’m sure our “core players” (read: the people who don’t ruin fun) would be more than happy to let you do so with impunity if it results in us “trimming the fat” (read: driving off bandwagoning scum).
As a show of good faith, I will personally extend to you this offer by idling in WvWvW and doing as little constructive action as possible.*
We warned you, Borlis Pass, but you had to be obstinate. Look at the ruin your pride has wrought! Your garrison, crushed beneath the relentless might of Maguuma, its defenses eroded away like so many shores by the ocean.
For your transgressions, for access to the EB jumping puzzle, we shall demand a sacrifice of one Shaboozey member per run.
Or, you can deliver to us one (1) Jessie Cox, and have free access to the jumping puzzles again.
Borlis Pass, why do you not comply with our fair demands? Why do you continue to stick up for the Jesse Cox? He has led you to only ruin! Simply deliver to us the Jesse Cox and you may continue to live in peace with Maguuma no longer trampling on your home.
Give to us the Jesse Cox or we will also camp every jumping puzzle until we have what we want- no, NEED.
Borlis Pass, surrender Jesse Cox to us, and we will leave your garrison and give you back “your” borderlands. Refuse our exceedingly fair terms, and you will be crushed under the weight of your own hubris.
Blowouts suck, no matter which side you’re on. There’s no reason to log into one. Better off letting the week go and see what happens next. the only problem for BP is that it’s been this way for weeks now and it’s lead to some pretty terrible results. I know I used to be in WvW 7 days a week for 5-14 hours a day. I no longer log into WvW for anything other than curiosity about the score and map (I usually end up in LA overflow). I doubt I’ll be back any time soon either.
Blowout weeks are good times to try out stealth-capping strategies. If you can steal a tower from 50 guys before they come in and take it back, you’re doing well, and getting better.
Seriously, you guys need to loosen up. Remember, the Buddha says “to gain anything, you must first lose everything.”
But then, some of you weren’t here for SoS’ rise to power. :v
A prioritized list regarding the long-term strategy of Maguuma’s hivemind:
1) Have fun
2) Make the other servers work for whatever they have
3) Have fun
4) Do interesting things with siege
5) Have fun
6) There is no #6
7) Have fun
Realpost: Despite all the confusing strategies and zergy moments, you guys (and especially DR) are some of the most determined guys we’ve fought in a while. Keep your chins up, and use this as a learning experience for when Ebay winds up in your tier so you can steam roll them like the scrubs they are.
