Anyone know of a smaller alliance accepting guilds that don't bicker in /as?


And whatever happened to gheris? he said he was going to quit in a big thread on the lance boards, and then two weeks later he was *trying to lead a relic retake. Shortly after those albs getting slapped around all this drama began...

Btw, I saw this coming from a mile away.


After we lost our relics, I had a feeling people would be pointing fingers -- mostly the guilds who didn't send anyone to defend... Sure enough, AWC is gone now.

Managing the /as in any big alliance is tricky. Personally, I think people get way too uptight about what is said in /as. Most arguments start because someone tells someone else to stop spamming /as. This invariably results in 100x more spam than if they just stayed quiet, or sent a polite personal tell. The funny thing is, the person yelling "stop spamming!" is usually someone sitting up at hill fins or something. Why a little spam is so bothering to these people is beyond me.


I have become very good at selectively tuning out /as and /gu spam. I still have problems with /send spam, but that is a separate issue. I can lead a ml raid, never notice a word of what is being said in /as, but instantly see if a relic raid problem is in the works.


There are, of course, limits. But I have seen people blow up long before what I would consider a reasonable limit. I have seen the rvr people blow up over someone asking who has the toa cg, and I have seen the pve people blow up over someone requesting help in defending a keep. Considering how huge the Zerg This alliance is, I think there is remarkably little /as spam. So everyone should relax and enjoy the game. Let a joke or two float through, it's not going to kill you.

Heh, funny thing Mist... I agree with you 100%, but apparently the alliance GMs got together and decided officially that all corrections were to be done over /as. I thought it was fine when it was in tells...

>>>And whatever happened to gheris?<<<

you think someone who is so into roleplaying this game will ever leave?

If he left king arthur would weep and there'd be an empty space on the round table.

I would bet that at least half of the people in any alliance have no clue what their GMs agreed to when they joined the alliance. The cool thing is, if I am on an important raid, there is a nice checkbox next to Alliance in the chat properties that can very easily be unchecked.

One thing I disagreed with after thinking about it was AWC's decision not to attempt any RR on Mid and Hib, and just let them get reset by Frontiers. The problem this causes is it lets Mid and Hib breeze through their MLs and Artifacts with no interruptions, like we suffered. Suiciding out of a high ML raid you waited 2 weeks for the repeat to happen sucked. And if we don't at least bang on their doors we're giving them a free ticket to have all their MLs and Artifacts leveled by the time Frontiers hits.
