Ok, so some people will say 'you only got the relic because of the time' or 'it was because of the huge numbers'.

Truth be told, both those helped, but equally if not more importantly, you seemed well organised and quick to respond to threats, whereas we seemed to spend more time arguing between us over where to go next. A good attempt at leading the defending forces was made by Bluesky, but it's very difficult when people keep splitting up, and ultimately, that's what won you the relic.

So congratualtions on being the better organised of the realms tonight :)

There we go.. xD

Thx to all the albs who stayed up.. this wasent actualy a relic attemt at first, just to get our back, but we where trying to distract mids by taking keeps, so might aswell go for it, when mids couldnt be bothered, defend.. <grins>:worthy:

+1 for bad english...

1) we try to take our own relic back
2) in the process, we try and distract mids by taking their keeps, and mids letting us.
3) relic gates open, so we go for it..

hehe had a good laugh defending fens with dotmonster ,but the amount of fireballs toasting my face was insane, was a ridiculas amount of fire wizards there making it nigh on impossible to kill anything.

early hours yes, but 24/7 game, so gratz :cheers:

Well done.

Your numbers greater than ours.

Your tactics better than ours.

But we tried to put up a bit of a fight.

Bastards! :>

All I know is that I logged on late this evening and had to do a double-take as I thought I had clicked on alb map, when I saw all the keeps that Albs had taken in Midland. Once port was up, there was not much we could do, and every attempt to kill port off was reversed very quickly.

Enjoy the relics, we'll be after them soon!

Several things about tonight/this mornings alb farm fest:

Gratz to albs taking the mid str relic and gratz in advance taking any other "trinkets" you may acquire tonight/this morning aswell ;)

Great work by us mids defending for sooooo long vs ludicrously higher numbers of albs - around 2am there were 51 visible mids online with 30 in my BG and 500ppl on cluster I was told and those figures support what we saw with albs running rampant all over the mid frontier taking anything they wanted. I was fearing bled would be a target for our str relic gate to open but was amazed albs took so long to get to it.

Not a lot we could do with so many priorities and so few ppl to defend against the alb onslaught: 1) defend fens to keep alb power relic, 2) defend hild incase albs went for bled next to open str relic gate, 3) take a blend tower to stop alb port. All 3 of those changed priorities many times during the evening/morning.

There was no way the mids could keep up with the alb advance and tbh im amazed we held albs off for so long. Looking back over the evening I still dont think there was much we could have done different to stop or slow the alb advance down as sheer numbers won the day imo - we were permanently on the defensive with lower numbers to cover all the bases albs were attacking.

I would like to say many thanks the the mid grp leaders that were pm'ing me for instructions and for their support.

Ahh well least now we can attack an alb keep instead of perma defending Fens like we have been doing for the last 2 weeks :)

Merlins staff was totally bugged tbh. Carrier got bugged on the scout
boat and suddenly got to a negative location. After some very heavy
discussions on TS we found him but the relic was gone....
So we had to search for it.......
Well, just look where we found it: http://web.telia.com/~u23308117/sshot233.jpg

hypocritic, lame, same excuses every time albz do RR ... (see: that wasnt planned, we started at 10pm, more enemy than us etc...)

imo grow some balls albz and for at least one time admit: yes we cant do anything primetime so we do it at night...

Was only a matter of time imo, every night at 10pm an attempt on fens has been going on for the last week or so.
Blindguardians grp usually shows up 1am'ish (GMT) and it carries on till about 3am+ (i usually hit the sack at 2.30am).
Mids have done a great job at defending, but slowly and surely more ground/beach-head has been made by albs each day ending yesterday with albs owning blend.
Once port was open it was a fore-gone-conclusion tbh, albs have greater numbers, better organisation and did very well.
Hats off to you albs, well done! But.. and hears the negative bit..
I miss the old frontier type relic raids, the highly organised prime time ones, where battleplans were laid and executed successfully or failed.. those are the rr's that deserve respect not relics that are taken at stupid-o-clock where its damn obvious that no one is there to defend and its pretty much pve a relic no matter what the excuse (i.e. we started 10pm and it carried on).
Just reverse the situation and I can see the mega glottis/alb whine and cheese if mids had done it hehe.

anyway, just my 2-pence and I guess it is a 24/7 game so well done.. will be nice not to rvr in fens for a bit and hit alb instead :D
