Battle Royale VI Postponed

This just in from LOC Admins:

We are sorry to announce that the Battle Royale Event VI which was schedule to start on Dec 20th 8:00 pm will be postponed due to an unexpected error with our server provider.  A notice regarding the new event schedule will be posted at a later time.

Legend of the Cryptids still down after 13 hours

LOC was taken off-line for emergency maintenance around 6:30PM PST on Thursday.  At last check, it is still off-line.  It will be interesting to see how the LOC staff responds to this outage and its interference with the planned Battle Royale that was to start last night at 8:00 PM PST.

UPDATE: As of 3:50 PM PST the servers are back up.  21 hour outage.  OUCH!  LOC is putting the blame on their server provider.

Plans for Battle Royale

Here are several thoughts I have bout how we should approach Battle Royale as a guild.

  • Don’t declare war unless you know that there are at least two other players available and ready to fight.

    The reason for this is simple: unless the other guild just doesn’t show up, soloing a battle is pretty much going to be a guaranteed loss.And the losing guild always LOSES BR points after the battle.
  • Don’t declare war if you are low on PP and aren’t committed to playing for the next 70 minutes.

    This is similar to the above.  If you aren’t able to play through a battle, you shouldn’t be declaring war.  We’ve won a few battles because someone on the other guild declared war and left the game, leaving their guild defenseless.   We’ve also lost a few battles for the same reason.
  • If you are planning to do some real fighting, post a “Checking in” message on the guild message board along with an estimate of how long you plan on playing.

    Be sure to post a “checking out” message as well.

    If you have limited PP and just want to jump in and place a couple of hits without sticking around, there’s no need to check in.
  • If there are 6 or more people available for battle, knock down the enemy’s ramparts first! 

    Rampart busting is a double-edged sword.  You don’t get a lot of BR points for hitting the ramparts, but once they are down, everyone gets the full points for attacking guild members.

    Ideally, we should have several guild members on hand with rampart busting skill cards.  Properly equipped, all 50,000 point rampart can be downed in ten hits.  If everyone takes a couple of whacks at the rampart, everyone will reap the rewards.

    If the plan is to take out the ramparts, don’t bother with any of the guild members until they are down.  Remember, as long as the ramparts are up, you only get HALF the battle points.  So if the plan is to knock them all down, finish that first and then go after the defense leader.

New Name?

I created our guild as a response to my prior guild being disbanded without notice.  Two of the older members of that guild convinced me to start a new guild.  The old guild had just taken on several new members, all of whom I’d just added to my friends list.  So, between the prodding of my guild-mates and a wish to do right by the people who had joined our guild just a day or two before, I rushed to start a new guild.  I wanted to have “Justice” in the name since it is part of my own tag.  I tried “Justice League”, of course, but it was taken.  I tried a few other things and ended up with “Knights of Justice”.  Yes, it’s a bit cheesy, but we needed something.

So now that we have a better place than the guild message board for discussing things like this, I’m opening up the question: Do we need a new name?

Use the comments area below to discuss.
