www.strikeforceguild.com – JQ SINCE 1836!
Guild of United Soviet Quarry www.jadequarry.com
Good fights all around on SoSBL tonight, nothing like an awesome 3-way open fight down south, was weird too…not as much lag as it was when we were with our t1 counterparts. Shout out specifically to PYRO, I really dunno which one of us from JQ peed in your cereal this morning you guys just kept coming and coming everytime, but you gave me more bags than I could ever pick up. Good stuff guys.
Yeah… you sure showed our 25 people with your queue.
T1 so good.
You’ll be seeing more of our teams probably running tagless as the week goes on. Reset night is pretty stacked to the rim of everyone trying to get in because it’s the weekend. Glad to see your team maintained a higher skill level as well.
It would appear I have a cure for all 3 servers attached to this post
Anyway, good matchup all, it was crazy all round. I thoroughly enjoyed the non-stop action. There was always something to do whenever you logged in.
Can the commanders on JQ please stop whispering the BG’s commanders to 2v1 SoR?
It’s pathetic
I did not initiate this type of conversation. Ask the BG commanders that were online. In any case, my main objective was to push SoR a second day straight, yet I somehow ended up on home BL again. So, I pushed SoR from the moment I logged in to GW2.
That doesn’t make sense.
Why would GoF approach you to 2v1 SoR if you are already pushing them for the entire day? They were asking you to do something you were already doing and you said no? (pushing SoR)
If what you’re saying is true, then GoF could 2v1 SoR whenever they wanted to, and they wouldn’t even need to ask.
A 2v1 on SoR would be a disadvantage to Blackgate, and an advantage to Jade Quarry.
What you’re claiming doesn’t add up.
It was the other way around buddy.
I’m saying for you to ask your BG commanders and ask them if I had initiated a conversation with them to 2v1 SoR. I do not initiate conversations cross server like that. I’m pretty sure the rest of you commanders on both servers know that from gaming against me for over a year now.

BG tricked SOR to be their lapdawgs and spanked JQ hard over the weekend. Now BG realizes how close SOR is to sniping the win from them, they decided to smack their well behave dawgs. The same spanking SOR is feeling now is what BG and SOR have done to JQ for the most of the week. In the future, maybe SOR stop playing the puppy to BG and bite their master hard?
‘Lapdawgs’ don’t end the week with a 5k lead. Continue QQ’ing, JQ. I have never liked JQ because it always took advantage of the BG/SoR rivalry and you are doing it again with this post. When we all que up all 4 maps, JQ comes in dead last, says alot about the server.
Has it ever occurred to you that there may be a slight, I know this is shocking, rivalry between all 3 servers? All 3 of our servers go through pretty good lengths to see how bad we can screw each other over non-stop. I think it’s pretty awesome!
Psh, every night you are active and go on those borderlands consider it a 1v2
After about 20-30 minutes of setup and laughing and making fun of “the fat kid” who gets picked last, we rolled out.
You mean Rangers.
No one out of the 6 teams wanted to be the Pink ranger…
Enough with the 2v1 bickering, it has happened to all three servers this week; no single server can proclaim innocence in this regard.
The real problem is blobbing and what it’s done to T1. Instead of servers trying new things and splitting up forces, we are all so obsessed with winning league that we would rather blob around a map and lag it to oblivion. And for what? Bragging rights on a forum? A special finisher? Who knows and who cares, because it’s coming at the expense of actual enjoyment, and weeks of struggling to press auto-attack is not my idea of a good time.
I’ll share a little story about BG BL earlier this week. I had organized us in to 6 teams and did a kickball team style pick. We all lined up at spawn and each commander picked their team from the pool of players. It was hella fun, then we all organized by colors. After about 20-30 minutes of setup and laughing and making fun of “the fat kid” who gets picked last, we rolled out. At this time we had teams running blob interference and hitting multiple targets across the map. We had many white swords up, clearing siege, capping nodes, and capping camps.
We failed on the first converge, to save Bay, but that’s fine. We got the hang of what we were doing with our random players we had across the map. Team Black (wooo gooo team black!) capped Bay the 2nd time while the remaining 5 teams skirmished across the map and did mini-converges on pressure points of the opposing servers.
Once Bay was secured the 2nd time around we ran multi-teams in rotations to grab supplies and siege up, then we did a counter push on BG as soon as we could in the north. SoR got the hint, especially since BG thought it was a great idea to break in to Hills. BG now forced the 2v1 on themselves after kitten ing in SoR’s cherios and from being the last team to hold JQ Bay on the map. The rest of that night after the last break in to BG Garrison was spent figuring out why the lord can be bannered from underneath a platform and crossing our fingers for SoR to clear the lord pit while we hunted Warriors.
Though, this may not work for every situation. I utilized it for when we had nothing left on map. If teams are truly interested in “breaking up the blobs” then they would run this style more often. The problem is, is that “blobbing” as everyone wants to call it these days, is so effective. Teams of 60-70+ are capable of extremely fast movements across a map. Toss in a Way Point, that cuts the distance down to half. You would figure with the addition of more objectives, the nodes, would assist in breaking this up. It does to a degree, but not as effectively as we would like right?
In any case, you can tell that Anet is going in a direction that they do want to break the massive teams up and get it more to where you run multiple smaller teams. Blood Lust just so happens to be the first true addition in this game that is working toward having multiple teams/people work together to attain something that’s worth while.
Just giving you guys a different perspective on things..
Great fights this matchup everyone, I don’t think any teams out there are slacking. I see nothing but WvW trojan warriors on every server. It brings a tear to my eye to have this level of competition between all of the teams.
Your target audience is filled with competitive PvP based players. I don’t believe any of us recognize the word lose easily unless it’s in a sentence involving “the other team.” If you were really wanting to grab the attention of the masses, you would state your purpose and goal for all of this. As a stakeholder in a project that you would want to do such as this, what am I going to benefit from doing this? Would your goal even truly get hit?
Some things you would want to personally review before trying to get a ton of people to even remotely want to do what you are recommending is evaluate the “what would Anet do?” scenario. Anet would probably not care and make a post stating that they will do tiebreakers for the 3 way ties. That would be the simplest resolution for teams being tied for positions. Is this supposed to be some sort of protest toward Anet on making leagues? With that in mind, I don’t believe you are going to rally the support you are aiming for, just for the mere fact that at least we have something. Keep in mind this game is not pay per month based and we do get updates with skill balance changes, some WvW changes here and there, even with their overall focus on PvE which would be their cash cow. We as WvW’ers are the minority compared to the PvE masses that are out there.
buzzkill
Seriously. Why follow boring Jedsus when you could follow Wahammad?
You’ve obviously never been in voice comms with me…
I bet Jed sounds like this kid…
You were pretty close, but I resemble the following, even more so when I’m playing League of Legends ;x
I saw SoR Sea ticking +270 most of the time today.
It seems Wahas attempt at demoralising our SEA earlier on in the year failed
I don’t know between Waha and Tarkus that is pretty scary. Plus NYS+SONG run more than ATM does on any given day lol.
Are you sure your counting right?
You might have a counting reputation as IRON..Lets do some quick fire maths:
SONG run 25 (portals)
NYS run ~30/35?ATM queue the map
Your move
D2 Pawn to D4

In regards to SoR Garrison take last night, with the timing of my pm’s and us finally getting the port in, I feel as though last night was legit. Yet, after the many PM’s I received from SoR community members feeling as it was not a legit take and one of the GM’s stating he had video evidence, I pulled the official team running the map out of garrison. Which is quite saddening because I was going to put as much siege in to SoR garrison as they had when we pushed in with the 12 golems. I had a “Get gud” message to return to the FEAR team lead. It’s fine, we got our obvious advantage win in the NE tower
I personally do not like to be associated with any illegitimate means of teamplay. I like my kills and team play to be pretty clean cut. With the video from the previous incident that is in plain video, I will have a lil’ chat with a couple of people here and there though.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
To the oPP War I just dueled, good show, sorry my member didn’t know it was a duel. I also just got to finally popping food when I noticed I didn’t have any on
Lies! We only run in packs of 50, all thieves…
Ahhhh, yeah forgot about that, thank god they were stealthed the whole time, that could have been very scary to see around me. I appreciate your guys’ consideration for one’s mental health and well being.
To the oPP War I just dueled, good show, sorry my member didn’t know it was a duel. I also just got to finally popping food when I noticed I didn’t have any on
My condolences to JQ regulars. It sucks when it swings this heavy to one side.
Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment, even if nobody else seems to…
Also, @ my fellow JQ’ers, stop giving BG crap about not trying, and going fareweather. Our server simply has more WvW players, and more coverage these days. I know that it’s a lot of new people saying that, but seriously, cut it out.
Shenanigans, they’ve got the coverage that equals ours.
Hello everyone My name is Wilson… I play a warrior in the small man squads of Jade Quarry’s Strike Force. I have been making videos for only about a month now. With the great fights OPP has been providing this week I really wanted to post this video here for all to enjoy. I only have a free version of Bandicam, so I miss a ton of stuff but here are some highlights anyway.
Dude give [Opp] a break, clearly their guild name was meant to be ironic. Like people who give their fat friend the nickname “tiny” I hear their guild leader’s nickname is
Sir Robbin The Brave.Here’s Opp’s latest fight against the ambient creatures of JQBL
I heard oPP are xferring to JQ soon anyway :/
Only for the right price. If you ask how much it will cost, then you can’t afford us.
What is a Z-j exactly?
Sir, the explanation would get people banned for that kind of talk on the official forums…
Actually, the data is not skewed. While the above example is completely true, you are discounting BG being able to maintain that bloodlust. There are two sides to the equation. The points acquired from bloodlust is a by product of killing the opposing team AND maintaining that bloodlust. That is what makes the statistic accurate.
You are not understanding what I had laid out. Yes, you guys do maintain bloodlust, but what is not being account for is the deaths that BG is getting while the JQ and SoR teams are not maintaining or placing focus on Bloodlust. These stomps are not translating in to the data that is being collected.
This is small and large scale combat between the servers. As I stated before, BG has placed priority in sending main team to center ruins in order to maintain this Bloodlust buff. While doing so, any stomps count toward their score. We noticed last night that BG did a pretty kitten good job at holding pretty much Bloodlust across 3 borderlands, as to SoR and JQ were not doing this. For your factual data, this translates in to less stomp points for JQ and SoR yet more structural holding based game play. As a compliment, you can state that BG is doing their best to try and get ahead of the Bloodlust curve and was a great example last night of maintaining that Bloodlust to get points for stomps while the other servers were not gaining points through their stomps.
(edited by Jedbacca.6297)
Bla bla bla, my made up facts are better than your made up facts – Here’s something i made up to prove it
Fact: You get stomped, BG get points = you loose on the field, and you loose the match.
This video will depict our current situation when it comes to you and I. In this example I am Arian Foster as of to where you are that “other guy.”
Score not from tick.
SoR = 29%
JQ = 30%
BG = 34%So BG is the worst server to capture towers and play for PPT.

You are the best yak\sentry killers by far.
you guys give us no options. all you do is run into keep/tower and hide behind the ac’s
You have my sincerest apologies. We get so many bags from your server on a daily basis and it seems impossible to sell fast enough. But you’ll be happy to know we’re working to improve on that. Were starting donation funds to make sure our entire server is outfitted with full 20 slot bags and encouraging everyone to try and buy an endless salvage kit. We’ll make it and get to the point that we dont need a sell break from farming your zergs and can keep giving you guys the attention you so richly deserve. : )
I like this guy…
I can’t tell, do people like the changes or not? Or does no one care one way or the other?
On the long run I can say that SoR will complain about the world point per kill XD but if they were what they always claim to be they would have a very high % AND IT DOESN’T SHOW that because they have been always making fake statesment that noone believed ever at least now we have game data providing true colors.
BG 36.32% and n°1 from every servers in the “farm your ennemy” % XD
JQ 30.46% and n°9
SoR 29.38% and n°13 (lol)
This would be twisting the data that is collected to what you want to perceive. The analytics do not show 100% of the fights that are going on out there, this would only prove that BG places priority on the middle cap points instead of objective holding.
Consider the following, BG on BG BL, primarily rolling 40-60 deep in the middle of the map at the cap points, SoR and JQ from what I have seen attempt to send smaller squads in, they get farmed. Each small team that gets farmed is another 5-10 stomps, this translates in to score. What the score will not show is when JQ or SoR counter blob or zerg the middle and clear the whole middle ruins out. It is this period that neither SoR or JQ has bloodlust to translate this in to score, hence the factual data presented as to “whom really does play for points” is not reliable. Again, this would go for whoever has a server playstyle of placing priority on middle caps as opposed to objectives.
Just take this outlook when you analyze the data that is presented, these are mechanics that should be clearly defined when posting such “factual” data.
Happy Birthday Kytana
Just so you all know what RATS is composed of, the majority are up leveled Asuran characters. So, if you get steamrolled by an upleveled group of new to WvW players being trained, there may be an issue at hand

I know I have solid leadership during EU prime and would like to get a better scope of SF support for the EU time slot. Please read our current analysis below.
Thank you for your time!
I am looking for WvW minded players to compliment my commanders during EU and Oceanic time slots. I rarely open recruitment, but we would like to see if we can generate somethin’. SF is a primarily WvW based team that allows for PvX playstyles.
We have a heavier NA prime based team that practices:
EU coverage currently:
I am looking to recruit for my EU commanders to have more individuals that we can work closer with on a more long term basis. SF is a long term gaming community that has been around for ~15 years. We are an international team. Our team started off in FPS games, but due to getting old, the twitch based aiming kitten es us off when we miss shots, we are more in MMO’s these days. I promote having your kitten together as a PvP player and expect to work with your team and not off kittening around in a corner. Again, my objective is to open recruitment for primarily EU players, Oceanic welcome as well as we do have active members in the time slot, to support my team leads active during those time frames. We would like to have a higher impact for our server and provide structure for more players during this time frame. Thank you for your consideration. Application submission at www.strikeforceguild.com, click the recruitment link and select GW2. All apps will be reviewed and taken seriously to be apart of our gaming community.
One player does not represent the server as a whole. There are quite a number of us that do not post regularly on these forums compared to those that do. As far as “begging” for another server to recruit for us, I am personally unaware of such interactions aside from maybe what Fuzzion just posted up. I know he’s probably the only one that has stated that a few times here and there. Other than that the remainder of us in the population and the team leads that work with other guilds for recruitment do our own footwork to the best of our ability in regards to reaching out to other teams.
So, to your concers, we do actually try to work for our server. Not always successful, but we give it a go when we have the opportunity.
yeah my gpu is done ;(
Thats what you get for buying an ATI.
Also , pls send oceanics to JQ. We could really use some help. Infact any recruitment post for late NA to Eearly NA by BG should be barred
You guys do realise that BG is so large that they have Anet had to build an anti-matter quantum super computer just to handle the population
Look at the recruitment section, we have 1 thread up by one of our medium to small guild JINX, at least i dont think they field that many. Not like the nine threads from SOR, and they complain about us stacking xp.
I agree though, i would love to see JQ pick up some guilds
I’m actually reworking our recruitment publicly as a server again. Made us a new shiny post! https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Jade-Quarry-Server-Recruitment/first#post2820438
Wish me luck, I haven’t done this type of stuff since SBI :x
What Jade Quarry is recruiting:
The purpose of recruiting for these two time slots as more of a priority is to compliment our NA prime forces to our Sea forces that are our there. Our teams from the different time zones have grown closer over time and would like to have an improved changeover between teams

oPP does the same thing our small skirmish teams do on “offensive maps.” This is to run from one bottom spawn area to the other bottom spawn area on either of those two maps looking for small scale fights. It’s the quickest area to get in to a smaller fight making the ruins a pretty popular place from one spawn tower to the next. For this upcoming update, these skirmishes will probably get relocated to the cap points because that will have a natural draw of more roamers toward shiny lights.
SF, You guys tried to go for a swim south of hills in shallow water. That was funny as hell. GG today.
Well, laughter did ensue, I was like well…that’ not a Jed safe jump
Atta girl, you got me to swap my build when I’m out soloing on my war because of you hyping it in TS. Jerk…
Is this a troll thing or is IRON truly relocating to a different server? If this is true, I am somewhat saddened by the news… I don’t follow guild politics too much.
Mushroom stamp of approval for HzH’s WvW knowledge and presence.
Signed,

The worst part about your screenshot is this “Savage Cheater” guy on your server who stole the name of one of the greatest gvgers in gw1, Ensign. Despicable.
I know, I should be ashamed of myself.
Gkick for impersonating yourself!
As for the rest of this thread. It appears that people are heated about xyz reasons.
Here’s the short of it. We all end up in “blobs” at times, we all end up wiping blobs by sheer luck and/or skill. We all use terrain to our advantage, we all do stupid suicide rushes just to see what happens. Regardless of what your situations are, there’s prolly no need for any consistency of saying whose tallywhacker (hehe, funnier than getting edited :P) is bigger every other sentence. Everyone here has a right to boast about their victories and feel shame for their idiotic moves or be content with feeling like you broke even. It just somehow gets even sweeter when we see our opposition sweat, so..I’ll grab me some popcorn and continue to watch you guys all go at it, this was an amusing 4 page read so far
Cheers all, keep up the activity, the SAB is a pain in all of our sides on all servers, DEATH TO PVE!!!!
SAN DIMUS FOOTBALL RULES!!!
::Drops Mic::
It’s really a shame that certain guilds from all server try to ruin GvGs.
Especially on a night like this when the match is more or less over.
Guilds like BT from BG, FEAR from SoR, and SF from JQ should try and respect other people’s game regardless of how you feel about GvG. At the end of the day, it’s a game and people are out there to have fun, let them play the game and get what enjoyment out of it they want.
Really not needed to troll the GvG game, especially because the orbs may kill it soon.
I don’t think SF has interrupted any GvG’s. When did we break one up? If it happened I don’t think we’ve crashed one intentionally… We usually back all you guys doing GvG’s because we have always left it an open option that we may want to get in on one, and if we were to interrupt GvG’s we would get the same treatment whenever we may start doing it. That’s something we wouldn’t want.
I feel dirty after watching the TW video because I was all like YEAAAAHHHH GET SOOOOOME, then I realized it wasn’t my own guild….
So, Tuesday night Kelo decided to record and make his first video ever. I think the trolling is cute in the video. SF had an offense of 26 members, and a total of 34 online on the map. SG had just left the map and SoR appeared to want to dance w/us, so here we tango! The remaining 8 were running havoc and scouting spawn tower and north hills. This was the most hardcore fight that we were involved in this week. We had to bail before the fight was over, apparently BG thought it was a great idea to setup 5 trebs in NE supply camp. Razethh and I were pretty much giving each other the Good Game after the fight. He told me that they brought three teams and kept splitting on us which was extremely hard to keep up with.
In some of the parts you will notice the field movements, but from a Kelo perspective it is hard to see just how coordinated the attacks were from the SoR teams. We had spawn advantage which helped, but we were reluctant to not do a full wipe in the camp and stay mobile with at least 15 on the tag and alive. Vic was calling the primary fight, at one point he did get downed and I had to take over calling.
This fight lasted almost 15 minutes and was a non-stop kite fest mixed with, “OH GOD kitten IT THEY ARE DOING THE THING WITH THE THING AGAIN!” “RALLY RALLY RALLY BRRWRRAAAAAAAAAAAAA.” Apparently Vic likes to use the term, “drop the baby” these days, which added hilarity to the fight, because we were “dropping the baby on chokes.”
In any case, cheers to the teams on SoR for making that the fight of the week for us!

It was.
I feel as previous video game experience of Liesure Suit Larry, Mafia Wars, Tetris, Farmville, etc.. may not have made the cut :x
Meanwhile on Tempest Wolves application site at 3AM in the morning…
The old joke for years is that in Jed’s van we have candy, and well…candy just so happens to be a 300+ lb ex-inmate with a shirt that is waay to small that says, “Hi, I’m candy.”
While we may complain about this matchup being stagnant as hell, it is the most competitive WvW that we’re likely to get in its current stage. Think of map politics this way (presuming everyone plays for first);
JQ: Strong SEA/Mod NA/Weak EU/Weak OC (1 strong, one mod and 2 weak)
BG: Mod SEA/Mod NA/Mod EU/Mod OC (4 moderately pop’ed)
SoR: Mod SEA/Strong NA/Strong EU/Mod OC (2 strong, 2 moderate)SEA: JQ comes out ahead, SoR and BG fight over ppt and is often a stalemate (JQ++)
NA: SoR comes out ahead, JQ and BG fight over ppt and is often a stalemate (SoR+)
EU: SoR comes out ahead, BG leeches JQ points (SoR++; JQ-, BG +)
OC: SoR and BG come out ahead, and both leech JQ points (JQ-; BG/SoR +)On paper SoR should always win via coverage, BG coming in second and JQ last – why is this never the case, well its to do with server politics. Its in JQs best interest to buddy up with either side because in that way JQ has less points that are leeched off by either BG or SoR (in oceanic for BG, EU/NA for SoR) – they have used this strat ever since the ET/HoD days where JQ would double team ET so that JQ would get a guaranteed 1st or 2nd place.
In a three way there is always a server that in reality is stronger than coverage than JQ but you have to give them credit, they are good at the politics game. Also it doesn’t hurt that BG and SoR generally don’t play nice to turn the tables back on JQ.

(32) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArqZ3AWECmvVdDloMEozRlhIcUJiMjR2bjhWbFA0M0E#gid=1JQ Drunks: Moderately strong due to SF’s presence alone.
BG Drunks: Moderately weak due to no longer have Quenta to drink for them.
SoR Drunks: Raging Strong, a Server made for alcoholics and crazy party goers. Unmatched by any in all timezones.
Don’t worry Tarkus, I put up the info we really needed to see.
Well, at what point do you tell your commander to shut up while drinking? Is it when he starts telling a guy that was racist in his jokes in public comms that he can’t tell racist jokes because the Jed has a bigger kitten and can get away with it? Or, is it when your commander starts telling the team we are going in balls deep with freedom b@ners popped? Or is it the comparison of how tight we are keeping it with a relation of a virgin bu77hole compared to a prison bu77hole?
These events may or may not have happened within the past two weeks…
Good time on JQ BL tonight fighting the big SF zerg. Had a nice 2nd night on SoR
Yeah, it was a good night for fights. My bags filled up at least three times within’ an hour of fighting.
Only wiped twice tonight in suicide rushes to inner hills to kill siege if at all possible. This was within an hour, glad we could fund your next legendary
Was a really tough night of calling all round to pull a fullcap on JQB. Good fights and cheers all round.
Ravan. Please forward me the bill for the 14 omega golems and 5 alphas that your night shift SF guild destroyed in our bay. They didn’t get to use them as well as they had hoped so we will return your money on them as they were probably defective golems.
If your paying for bills can you pay for my car insurance? Thanks ahead of time.
Wrong guild, but we will accept the cash anyway!
I don’t deal with greasy people if I don’t have to…I guess I don’t like to be ‘rubbed’ the wrong way…
On that note, back to not checking these things for quite a bit, enjoy the fights out there ladies n gents
I HEARD SoR IS IMPLODING IS IT TRUE
I HEARD JQ IS IMPLODING IS IT TRUE
Yeah, it happened last night. Apparently we lost like 6 guilds and 24.5 pugs. They all transferred to Devona’s Rest. We wish them the best of luck even though they said mean things about our dogs and cats. I find that rude an offensive, I’m glad they all left!
I was running armies of lookalikes when it wasn’t cool son…
I have two characters with Comm tags that I take out in WvW. One is a tall Norn Guardian with the Medieval armor from the gem store, typically in red, white and blue. The other is a huge Charr Warrior with the upper body of a tiger god and the lower body of a horse (all parts involved), with CoF armor. Colors are typically random depending on our theme night, but you’ll usually see me with a wild pack of SF around whether it is 1-2 to 35. You will also notice me on the field where your teams are probably spamming their aoe’s and cc’s, quite possibly already marked with a target from a member of your group.
I got a hell of a lot of respect for all commanders out there, we all know what it’s like out there in the open field
Scary place out there when you have a server full of people you are fighting and the person they want dead first is typically the commander.
I think i got a Moa on you once outside Aldons on EB :p
Keep in mind there are a rather large group of people that may appear to look like me too. Yet, they are only in my ‘likeness’.
