Has the average IQ playing DAoC dropped while I've been away or something? Is this the standard of the average player these days?

I think AC raid is a bit of a loose definition. So lets try and define it:Tilda said:From what I gather, it wasnt an alarm clock raid, just a "lets start raiding fens and see how far we get/how late it gets" type thing ;p
GJ albs
Alarm clock raid;
Removal of enemy relics at non peak hours - these hours were originally determined by Albs who declared it to be roughly 0800 GMT - 2300 GMT, and called any raid "an Alarm clock raid" when an enemy realm did it outside of these hours.
It is also defined as being a raid done by any other realm other than Albion.
There must be minimum defence available to the target realm, made obvious by the severe lack of crafters to repair, sufficient classes to defend, and the fact that most people in hib and mid have jobs and families, and therefore must sleep, therefore taking advantage of human nature rather than game mechanics.
You havnt got a clue really have youMatmardigan said:Mids whine about a Alarmclock raid.
Midgard was and always will be the alarmclock real.
In the past, Midgard set their clocks on 3-4-5am on an saturday/sunday
In the past, Midgard fought against walls and npc's
In the past, Midgard hold str relics 4 more than 2 years.
So stop whine.
Do what u can do best.
set ur clocks, wake up at 4-5am and fight against walls and npc's again.

You still havnt got a clue have you...Matmardigan said:yes ive.
Mids whine about Alarmclock, that isnt hard 2 understand.
Funny thing is.
Midgard was and still is the EXPERT REALM in doing Alarmclock raids.

Arkian said:Whoodoo, i've normally got a lot of respect for your posts - some good stuff usually. Were you actually there this morning? Because tbh if you weren't you've not really got a right to describe it as fighting npc's or whatever. The fighting was far far from that, with mids having only a few less players and were hardly 'zerged'.
As has been said, if the players who play during the night (on all 3 sides) want to relic raid or just meet up and /hug that's perfectly fine and more power to them.
The thing that is a bit sad, which you are aluding to with the label of 'alarm clock' is the organisation of a raid by the largely non-nocturnal server populace to attack the enemy in the early hours of the morning, usually requiring said players to get up out of bed at the pre-determined time - hence requiring the 'alarm clock' For example 250 hitting Excalibur at 6 ish when an hour or so before the bulk of the attacking force had been tucked up in bed, while less than 40 insomniac defenders vainly try to stop them.
Insomniac raid's I don't mind, either attacking with or defending against (any ideas how many times Hurbury has been hit in the wee hours?) It nicely spices up my playing time if I happen to be on. Ask me to get out of bed to attack/defend, and I can't be bothered.
I'd like to think that with the exception of Bulbul (who quite clearly has some psychological issues he needs to work through) that all involved on both sides had a laugh, which god forbid a game is supposed to provide.
Finally, as i've already posted on another thread: A genuine gratz in advance for when you take your next relic, and a /cheer if the hibs do the same, whatever time of the day or night it is. Just if you do it in the small hours, give it a go with the people you happen to find online at the time, you'll probably have a lot more fun and feel a lot more satisfaction when you achieve your goal. If you'd rather get a truckfull of people out of their beds to do it, hey whatever floats your boat and have a beer on me when you win.
