Hi all, been a long time since i posted here now (had to create a new acc due to not remembering my password heh).
Anyway, thought i'd explain what happened and what we wanted with the raid etc.
>>>I am in no way speaking for all of those participating<<<
but i was among those driving the thing in the direction it took
( i.e. towards Excalibur doors
).
As we all know Albs had been raiding our keeps the whole evening, we lost just about every keep at some point or other, and had only 2 keeps left at a couple of points. This kept going into the night, which proved to be our salvation since we seem to have alot more nightowls in Mid than there are in Albion ^^
Me and alot with me have our own personal primetime at this late hour since we dont have a regular day/night cycle - there was no setting of any alarms - it was a continuation of the previous action in Mid frontiers.
When the main albion force had gone to bed we still had alot of sleepless ppl hungry for some retaliation, so many of us suggested we go take a crack at a RR of our own. We started with only some 4 grp's and took Beno, but when ppl saw we were really serious some more decided to join us bringing the numbers up to at a maximum some 60 ppl.
One thing is sure tho - for many of us it really WAS an attempted RR. I wont try and hide that - had we broken into Excalibur we would have taken the shiny stuff (at least noone ever said "lets not do that").
However, I doubt even one of us seriously believed that we would succeed in going all the way. But we did have our fun and that was what we came for.
Now, i hear Albs saying we should beware cause they will bring on alarmclock raids to punish us for what we did. Well, sure you have every right to do so - as someone said: it doesnt really matter if an alarm clock is actually set: its the time the attempt is made that matters. I agree with this - We did an alarm clock raid by virtue of the time we performed it so you are entitled to your own. But i do however fail to see the fun in it. We did what we did in the course of playing a natural session of daoc, we didnt sacrifice anything for it (i.e. sleep) - what attacked you was i.m.o, the majority of the sleepless level 50 population of Midgard at the time.
But enough of this rant, and if you wish, come bring on the raids - its only a game after all, and we should be glad for all dynamic elements (i.e. unexpected things) we can find in an otherwise very static world.
