From the Shadowbane Boards - Are You a Closet Zerger?

Are you guilty of "Zerg'n" your fellow ShadowBane players? If you don't know, this small questionaire may aid you in answering that question.

1) How many people are acceptable to bring on a seige?
a) Everyone in the guild.
b) Everyone you can get to agree to come, plus their dog.
c) You should let the offending guild know they are under seige and ask them how many people are defending and match your numbers accordingly.

2) If you get to a seige and find your numbers are far greater than the defenders, you should..
a) Enjoy the game and feel good about the fact you're probably going to win?
b) Ask everyone to stop while you and the opposing IC figure out how many of your number is fair?
c) Ask a number of your guildmates to please leave the raid as it is upsetting the defenders?

3) If your defending a city and a force of unfriendlies approach you, but you see that you greatly out number the attackers, you should....
a) Enjoy the fact that you city will still be standing tomorrow.
b) Start asking players to log off because you're obviously, "zerging" the attackers.
c) Ask the offending IC if they can bring more people to destroy your city because it's unfair to them to attack with so few players.

4) If you have a large force and you're hunting the enemy in their xp grounds and happen to find a small group of them..
a) Enjoy the fact that the enemy is about to get ganked.
b) Hold the majority of your force back so that you don't, "zerg" the enemy?
c) Ask the enemy group leader if they can find more allies to come and help them so the numbers will be even, because you don't want to "zerg" thier group?

5) When you join a guild do you...
a) Check their rules of conduct to make sure they have rules against "zerg'n" the enemy?
b) Check the numbers associated with their capitol to make sure they don't have an unfair "zerg" advantage with the surrounding nations?
c) Check with opposing guilds to make sure your prospective guild is not accused of "zerg'n"?

6) If you're wielding two weapons and the enemy you are attacking is only carrying one, do you put one of your weapons into your inventory so you don't "zerg" them with greater numbers of weapons?
a)yes
b)no (you maybe a closet zerg)


After reflecting on your answers, I hope you will make the changes in your gaming so as not to be accused of anymore "zerging".

Granted not all of this applies to DAOC, but you get the idea :p

This is often used in DAoC. However, the 'So-and-so says something in a language you cannot understand.' is often interpreted as '700 or so is fine with me, mate.'
