Guild Wars 2

Jay.7546:

You guys are a joke using golems to take a keep and towers with no one but a few of us laughing at you. We can’t siege, you have the same few taking the camps all night and when we take back anything you wait until you see red and send golems. It’s a joke, I am leveling a guardian on recaps only and I’m level 25. So thank you.

Are you having fun. Are you improving your skills. Are you finding out what tactics work best. NO. You are a product of a tilted playing field and it’s a waste of your time. So congratulations on another empty cap.

PS Many of us now are running lower level toons to level so you are not only fighting less of us you are fighting our baby toons. Congrats on the big wins.

Sounds like you’ve been outplayed.

SBI/FA/DB rematch will be legendary.

There is no doubt that the conclusion of Silver League will be amazing

Stay tuned to find out

To BG!!

They must be good since they are winning right!?!

The maps favour the attacker and not the defender.

This should be looked at. ESPECIALLY in the home borderlands.

[SM] Looking for Small Scaled GvGs

Most of this match-up actually I’ve been commanding, it’s not been fun since you know the enemy server has a much larger force and just attack doors with sheer numbers, but I expected this from a game mode with absolutely no balance.
To be honest, FA has alot more skill than SBI by far.
I’m saying this because everytime I try to raid in FA BL there is RAM,RET,BOMB,BURN,FTF,etc waiting at spawn ready to gank my guild of nearly 10, this makes me no longer want to even play WvW when matchups are this unbalanced and people have the mindset to spawn camp a smaller guild for the fun of it.
Also, don’t roam in FA BL, 100% Chance of getting zerged.
Meanwhile I’ll be off playing BF4 or something until Anet decides to balance these matchups.

Windmill bro!

Set it up and take all challengers.

I don’t like to see FA zerg down servers with less population. You guys deserve to fight on even terms.

GVG arena is coming soon

I thought pistol thieves were half decent, but against a necro, I didn’t think they would even try. Pistol thieves seem to be rare these days. I see more double dagger or sword dagger.

I’ve seen some awesome necros in this match so far. Some being nearly impossible to kill. I have also had some great fights with a couple warriors. The warrior fights were cool because they didn’t get interrupted even when people stopped to watch.

Did he open with thieves guild?

That’s my favourite XD

It’s over now, I won.

Dio gave up and stopped posting. I think he went to practice his grammar, punctuation and spelling.

FA was getting “stomped” for half a year in tier 2. The only difference between FA and other servers is that it didn’t crumble under the pressure like Kaineng and Dragonbrand.

Unless you’ve seen the upper tiers, you can only dream of the numbers playing at all hours.

You almost did though. Saved by the bell.

I won’t disagree. Silver League came at a good time for FA, but as long as we’re having fun, we’ll be out to fight.

Well [CORE] nice to see you have not changed much, cant do much without numbers still, id figure you all would have learned to step outside the box and find some skill amongst at least 5 of the 50 you have to run. Well have fun!!!

love Asura Blood Reaper

Sounds like you got outplayed.

IOJ has always had an obsession with PVE. This is why I left there last year to FA during the first WVW exodus.

They sat in tier 1 and 2 riding on the coat tails of the dedicated WVW players and left them high and dry during tough weeks. In return the WVW players left them to their PVE and went to servers that wanted to fight.

Tell us more about how all those mean and nasty PvE players hurt your fee fees and forced you into exile.

What, are you 5?

Give me that little dolly you play with and I’ll show you where the bad PVE man touched me.

Nice attempt by EB to ninja SMC, too bad we responded just in time. Should have left well enough alone and just settled for the tower.

We hit SMC, bailed, then took your T3 tower while you guys sat in SMC and congratulated each other on the defense. But good job on the defense. You guys are surely superior at coverage wars.

Wow, I try to pay someone a compliment, and this is what I get in return. No wonder these forums are going to hell in a handbasket.

Don’t worry about it. Having something flipped while being T3 or not just means we have something to flip back. He doesn’t like being pressured 24/7.

Lots of fun today guys! Thanks for all the fights

Great fight in EB BL bay a few minutes ago

Faux Sheaux.6179:

Whenever I walk into FA BL during the daytime

hehe, this is true

Here is that duel with a ranger that I found while roaming. I mentioned earlier in the thread.

So you’re saying a country or region is a team because the team is named after the country in the World Cup.

Soccer fans are smart!

You do realize that the publication is identifying the team right? Not the country? I just want to make sure you understand what’s written there.

England are full of smart people. London are home to many people. Spain are near the ocean. Earth are located in the Milky Way. North America are above South America. Fort Aspenwood are not fun to fight. Germany are at odds with other Euro nations. Whitehouse are where Obama works. Australia are a place you can find poisonous creatures. Canada are not fun to fight. France are not fun to fight. Belgium are not fun to fight.

Please continue to post more examples. I think you’re very close to convincing me.

Let me break this down for you.

You are talking about the World Cup. An event that has teams representing their home country. Not so ironically, the teams have the name of their country.

The team name is Spain and they come from Spain.

Fort Aspenwood is a place or country if you are following along. The people that represent their home country of Fort Aspenwood have guild names or run solo. When you speak about the players from Fort Aspenwood, you would say “the players are tough to win against” or “Fort Aspenwood is leading Silver League”.

There is a difference between the home country and the teams or players that represent it, which you an incapable of grasping from the look of it.

In your desperate attempt to find a suitable argument, you have completely lost sight of the difference and end up providing examples that don’t reveal anything except for your lack of understanding.

I think you’ve had enough and should give it a rest.

That unfortunately doesn’t say “Spain are”… so, yeah… you have only further proven that you are incapable of keeping to the format of the first sentence and have not proven anything.

Game set match?

You never even got off the bench. When you learn to stay on topic and not resort to petty insults, you might be able to debate. Until then, you can continue to ramble on like a fool.

Good day Dio.

I fought an upleveled GH minion master nocro near west camp yesterday and a ranger in ruins. Other than those fights I haven’t seen many roamers.

That being said, I also have a lot of small fights that get completely zerged over by both enemirs and allies.

It is rough out there.

Poor Dio

You lost brother, and sometimes in life you need to accept things and move on.

Maybe after you’ve experienced more in life and learned your native language, you will understand what is happening here.

Data is a rockstar in a Casino.

Some of the malitia blobs are painful to watch in action, but they love coming out to ravage the servers with less coverage than FA.

Enjoy the bags and get some loot guys. I’m sure you can make it a profitable week where you don’t have to worry about ppt so much.

Craig!!!

I miss you man!!

I’m glad to see you’re still out and about

DIE was playing well yesterday even though you were getting blobbed on.

I’ll see you more this week if you’re in the borderlands. I don’t do EBG.

I hear the FA players in EB were getting spanked a bit tonight XD

Some strong roaming builds out there from Ebay. If I remember correctly, that was something I noticed last time we faced them months back.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Let me ask you a question Dio.

If you wanted to tell people on a forum that Fort Aspenwood players were not fun to play against, how would you word it?

You still didn’t answer this Dio

I expected more from Mend. They had an easy cap on bay which was being held by 6 defenders, and didn’t run in for the cap! That gave FA time to rally people to bay which was getting close to fully upgraded and then you wiped! I was upset for you. That was yours easily and you let it slip away.

I hope to see you guys out there more this week to redeem yourselves.

While you were so angrily trying to defend your bad grammar, you let your spelling and punctuation slip over the last two pages. Go clean that up and then come back and talk to me.

<—- still the winner

Your English is terrible. Go hang out with your friend Buffy.

Just had a great duel with a [FOSA] ranger in ruins from IOJ on IOJ BL. Nice one sir.

Also wanted to make mention of [AD] who is roaming with a couple necros, engi and thief? Solid group and really good on control and focus fire. Great stuff guys.

Brutus!!!!

Did you just get stomped by a little sylvari warrior in south inner bay up near the bridge?!?!

LOL

<—— winner

Fort Aspenwood is a place, as well as the borderlands around it.

The people on these boards use proper grammar for the most part when referring to a rival server. Go read some more threads and you’ll see a trend.

As you said, Fort Aspenwood is a region in GW 1, meaning that it is a place.

The server is a physical object on the planet Earth. People have their digital characters on it. Again, it is a place that they reside.

The teams that enter WvW are usually in guilds that have names, otherwise they are individuals.

Like you say, “two places can’t fight each other.” You need people to do the fighting, so you would refer to the players and not the place they come from.

I am destroying every example you have and you still won’t accept it.

Even though every server is named after a region on a map, you still say “I am not going to accept that Fort Aspenwood is only a location…”. Your ignorance is quite impressive.

Let me ask you a question Dio.

If you wanted to tell people on a forum that Fort Aspenwood players were not fun to play against, how would you word it?

Fort Aspenwood is a place or region on a map. It is not a team. The only way you are able to validate your answers is by assuming that Fort Aspenwood is the team name (which it is not).

U2 as an example is bad again because it refers to a group and not a place.

This is basically the sticking point of our conversation. Unless you accept that it is not a team name, and is in fact a location, we cannot continue the discussion. It is at an impasse.

Here’s a little video from last week that I didn’t get to share in the matchup thread. IOJ and EB don’t really need to watch this unless they feel the need.

Furiousbeard.7602:

You need to stop changing the structure of Buffy’s sentence or you will never get this right. You constantly put “The” at the beginning of your sentences which changes the meaning.

Fort Aspenwood by itself at the beginning of a sentence refers to a place. With “The” at the beginning of Buffy’s sentence, it is closer to being correct, but still poor English.

The doesn’t matter.

The deer is pretty.
The deer are pretty.

The subject can be both singular or plural, the VERB tells you which. The same thing is happening here. You don’t know what you are talking about.

People would never say The Fort Aspenwood but yet it is still the name of a collection of people. You also don’t have people saying “The players of Fort Aspenwood” they just say Fort Aspenwood. It can be used either way and a reasonable person can tell the difference.

Furiousbeard.7602:

" The staff…" is not singular by definition. It means a group of people in an organization. You are again using pluralized words for examples. This is not helping your examples and you are wrong.

The staff can be either singular or plural depending on whether or not you are talking about the entity of the people in it. That is the whole point.

Furiousbeard.7602:

“Furioushammers are…”
You cannot put “are” after a person’s name since I am singular. “Are” applies to plurals.

That is my point, glad you agree the just the fact that the word is plural doesn’t make what it represents plural. Same applies here. Fort Aspenwood can represent a place, a server or the people on the server. It is singular or plural depending upon which you are talking about.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Every single one of your examples is flawed and your English is just as bad as his.

And infinitely better than yours.

Deer is can be both singular and plural. Bad example.

No reasonable person would call a player by the name of the place from which they reside. “London are really hard to play against”. Really? would you Dio? London is full of people, but the sentence is wrong.

If you refer to the people in London, you change the sentence to “Londoners, or Londonites”.

Look up the definition of staff.

Based on your confusion, I think we need to give Fort Aspenwood players a name like the Furiousbeards just to make it easy for you.

You need to stop changing the structure of Buffy’s sentence or you will never get this right. You constantly put “The” at the beginning of your sentences which changes the meaning.

Fort Aspenwood by itself at the beginning of a sentence refers to a place. With “The” at the beginning of Buffy’s sentence, it is closer to being correct, but still poor English.

Let’s look at your examples now.

“People from Berkeley yell “Cardinal sucks” and not “Cardinal suck” at football games."
Cardinal is the team name, and again is not a place, but a group of players. Fort Aspenwood is a place, just like Toronto is a place. Fort Aspenwood is not our team name since Fort Aspenwood doesn’t have a team name.

" The staff…" is not singular by definition. It means a group of people in an organization. You are again using pluralized words for examples. This is not helping your examples and you are wrong.

“Furioushammers are…”
You cannot put “are” after a person’s name since I am singular. “Are” applies to plurals.

Every single one of your examples is flawed and your English is just as bad as his.

I’M CANADIAN!

The REAL English of the world. UK English is a travesty of the spoken language, and American (U.S.) English is an abomination to both written and verbal forms!

If Buffy would have said any of the following, I would have been fine with it.

“Fort Aspenwood players/guilds/zergs/underlevels are…”

“Fort Aspenwood(ians/ites/ers/etc) are…”

Fort Aspenwood is not plural since it’s a place, and not considered a collection of people. It has a geographical location and cannot be pluralized. It would be like saying “Canada are cold all the time.”

Nope. You are wrong. In this case, Fort Aspenwood is a collection of individuals, not a single unified entity.

Think of it this way:

The Edmonton Oilers are playing on Sat.
The MN Vikings are playing on Sun.
The Crimson Tide ARE playing on Sat.

The plurality of the moniker doesn’t matter, the noun is representing a collection of individuals and thus the plural verb form is used.

Edit: BTW, it isn’t a place. You don’t play against a physical location, you play against a set of people placed into a group named after a non-existent physical location.

Sorry, but you are the mistaken one.

Fort Aspenwood is a place. The people that reside there are individuals or groups of people.

If you use the Oilers as an example and compare it to Buffy’s response, it’s like him saying “Rexall Place (the arena the Oilers play in) are easy to beat.”

If you play against a group of people, you would refer to them by pluralizing an individual players title.

Singular player – Oiler
Plural – Oilers

For example, I am Canadian. If there were more than myself in a group we would be called Canadians. We reside in Canada (a place) and Canada is not pluralized.

You seem to be taking his phrase out of context.

Edit: I also want to point out that your examples are all properly pluralized, hence the s at the end of each team name, except for the tribe, which implies more than one person by definition. Buffy’s reference to Fort Aspenwood players was not properly pluralized.

Further to that, your examples all start with “The”, whereas Buffy’s starts with only Fort Aspenwood, which means that you have not followed his sentence structure to support your examples. Even if you change your example to “Oilers are playing on Saturday”, it becomes a sloppy sentence and somewhat vague since Oilers could refer to Oil works instead of “the Oilers” which is a specific reference.

It’s after 8:45 am Buffy. You have no excuse this time.

Well I won’t see BP or NSP again for a while, but this match was very entertaining, in both pvf and in the game.

This match was over before it started, but I appreciate you all coming out to face the FA hordes and constant pressure at all hours.

Have fun during the rest of your matches and come guest on FA once in a while.
