What a compliment.

[de_slider]

Tonight, we poor -Slave-'s were paid one of the highest compliments that a little ole guild could receive. We were raided. Now I know people like to take advantage of when there are few or no faction members on to grab relics, heck we do that too. But tonight, wow. What can I say but a huge Thank You.

When we got raided, it started with 1 IO, who did not succeed. Then a couple of TSS tried and we foiled their plans. One might think that would have been the end of it, but no. The next raid paid us homage. IO, TSS and FoN pay us a vist, not just 3 or 4 folks, but around 7 or 8 to start with. We were out numbers 2 or so to 1. Then, if I am not mistaken, a couple more turned up. I'm not sure, we were just a little too busy to take an actual head count. I think there were around 12 raiding during the hieght of the battle.

Us 4 little ole -Slave-'s got our butts handed to us time and time again. We did a lot of respawning. I know the raiders themselves went through a pile of raise dead spells and/or rez scrolls. I know before we respawned we made sure that 3 or 5 of then had their own dirt nap to deal with.

This battle raged on until a couple of relics were stolen and the runners ran with them. As their numbers started to fall so did they. The end result was, they did get away with a couple of relics, but not all.

So from the 4 little ole -Slave-'s that defended I thank you for paying us such a compliment in that you felt you needed 10 or 12 raiders.

To all, this battle was fought old school style. No one healed except 1 person and only 1 time. That was a -Slave-. Before we let him get back into the battle we took him into our special "back room" where he received a royal spanking for doing that. We will do our best to PvP without healing.

PS: It was a huge blast, thank you all.

Good job. Sounds like I missed a hell of a fight! It is such a pleasure to have the Slaves back in AO with the same vigor as days of yore! We're gonna have some fun nights ahead i'm sure!

[lordshelt]

Yeah the huge raiding getting raided battle royale was fun as heck, I hadn't been involved in 1 of those in so long, I had almost forgotten how much fun it was. BTW at it's height last night there were 43 players on b4 i left...GOOD FOR YOU NS4, KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!

[Gornickthy]

Indeed it was a glorious battle. Great defending and return raiding by the Slaves and well fought by all. It was a grand old school fight for sure, with very little healing and running away. I hope to see more battles in the future of such magnitude. That was fun for sure. Great job to all!!!

[frogofpeace]

Yeah, great fun - thanks for being good sports and great competition, Slaves. You speak the truth, it was a t least 12 on our side, but you guys kept coming and dishing out at LEAST as good as you got. At one point I resed 4 dead raiders by the door, and I died at least twice (I think Voice was the first, truth be told).

No shouts, no chugging (I will defend to the death the right to chug, but man those pots leave a bad taste in your mouth!), no smacktalk that I heard, just good clean smackdown.

Huzzah, slaves!

[number one bastard]

twas a great battle indeed, well fought and well defending slaves, i rather enjoyed it, and best of all, there was NO cryin or whinning, from either side , was a great night INDEED !

You guys are good. I think you're generally harder to beat than MD was. In my short time here I don't think I've ever killed a -Slave- player.

In fact, one of your members is one of those guys I get so frustrated about because I can't even hit him once.

So, congrats. -_-;

[-BannyD-]

hah wow, this brings a smile to my face...im sorry to have missed it...but good job

lol...in general, (1 -slave-) = (3 M.D.)

slaves and bb are 'hardcore' guilds that only recruit people with a clue... all the other guilds have a range of player abilities.

BUT on the other hand, in relic raiding - it IS a lot harder to ATTACK than DEFEND since when you're defending you can easily respawn and regroup together and come back as a single force, or maintain a steady assault on the attackers. Plus there isn't a penalty for defenders to respawn, and they can relog any toon they want to as the situation changes.

There was a DW there in the action as well.

You slaves did well, I was impressed.

Ho.
Ly.
Crap.


I need to put this on my calendar then, because if no one either cried foul, claimed the -Slave-s had DM support, or griped about epic defenders, unfair cradle layouts or exploits...then it was indeed a day to remember.
**Edit: Oh, I forgot nerfing on that list.**

We need more days like that.


(We could almost say that there wasn't even any trash-talk on the boards, either...but Celorn just couldn't help himself, I guess... . )

[P. Fricebottle]

I am so sad that I missed this...

[DeputyDog]

Hmm honorable no healing pvp? WTF?

Wish we could code in no healing during a pvp fight or if you have been in a pvp fight in the last 5 minutes.

Maybe we could just make heals 100x the price?

[mgrjebbo]

whats it matter, people try to use a word like honor when it comes to a video game.....


i dont heal in pvp unless i am using my cleric ofcourse, that being said i am use to others doing so

[Celorn]

Well, in a world where you can chain-drink endless potions, the only honouable thing to do is to withhold from drinking in PvP - except possibly when you've been ambushed while engaged with NPC mobs since you WILL lose xp for respawning.

oh, and I have to add an amendment about slaves; 'except if it's redrum, then it's more like 1=1'
