When we look at the Agit Standing tonight, located in this thread, we can see that in all the siege maps, most of the castles are held by established guilds with one castle in the map held by an FFA guild.

What's an FFA guild?

An FFA guild is a guild that has no actual purpose except to see their mangled guildname in bright yellow letters during WOE. They're mostly composed of a few people, mainly breakers and support characters. There are legitimate FFA guilds however. Guilds like Happy Birthday [Name Here] and Boy Loves Girl. These guilds die a natural death after said person's birthday or when Boy breaks up with Girl. Unfortunately, there are FFA guilds that just refuses to die and keeps resurrecting itself from the deathblows dealt to it by other guilds. That is what we'll be talking about tonight.

As in the case of Britoniah.

Hellion? Established guild. Frailty? Established guild. Mutiny? Established guild. Tempest? Established emblem-photocopier. Err ... I mean guild. But what's this I see? Hazards? Can we consider Hazards an established guild?

In a word ... NO. Hazards used to be one of the hardcore guilds back in old school Sarah. But it died. And when something dies, it should remain DEAD. It's really sad and a little pathetic to see people trying to revive something that should by rights remain in the grave. Yes, this also goes out to all the Something Of Valhalla guilds. LOV died a long time ago. Let it rest.

Anyway, we can consider Hazards an FFA guild since they don't really have some sort of organization. They're just a bunch of kids who duped their way into Emp rooms. Yup. I said it. Duped. It's not like it's a secret anyway. It's really disgusting when people duplicate stuff just to have an advantage in the game.

Speaking of duplicating ... I see that Tempest has a new guild leader. But like the old guild leader, this one is also prone to copying other guild's emblems.

Tempest ... when will you STOP? Tempest ... when will you DIE? If you had any decency, you'd throw yourself into a lake and DROWN. Tempest is a perfect example ... a perfect example of what a good guild is NOT.

In Luina ... we also see an FFA guild. Look at the standings and it's clear to see. Yup. It's Trisha and her friends. Such a pretty pretty girl. I'm surprised she actually managed to get friends. But enough of Trisha and her drop-dead gorgeous looks.

It seems like there is a new Alliance in town. Frailty has allied itself with Minions. Old news? Try adding Dominion to the mix and you have a new Alliance. I wonder what we should call them? Since they don't have an official name, we can go with ...

Dorainions. That's cute. If Dominion should leave, we can call them Frainions. Sound delicious!

It's obvious why this sudden alliance sprouted out of nowhere. One word. Event.

Let us all look back at the famous alliances of Sarah shall we?

There was BBA.
There was the "Twin Towers". Whoever thought of that name anyway?
And now there's Dorainions!

In every alliance, there's a leader and there's a lapdog. The question is ... which guild is which? Tuta ka ba?

Strange Bedfellows.

Have you ever had befriended someone you didn't really like or you couldn't imagine being your friend because you needed something? Have you ever tried putting the past behind and made peace with people because you had a common goal? Have you ever tried COPYING AND PASTING ALL THE EMBLEMS IN SARAH BECAUSE YOUR GUILD IS A TALENTLESS PIECE OF CRAP? Well tonight, we're going to talk about weird alliances and of course ... guilds that should be wiped off the face of the earth and shot off into space directly into the burning sun.

It's a refreshing change to see that most castles are held by REAL and established guilds. I was getting tired of looking at Trisha's face. But then again ... I said MOST and not all. Of course, Hazards managed to grab a castle. Not surprising when almost everyone in the guild has a GR+GTB given to them by the Dupe Fairy. A little bird told me that Hazards was in a trashtalking fight outside PVP. I wonder who their enemy was. Actually ... I know, but I won't tell. We should always remember that when trashtalking against Hazards, we will always lose. They're already TRASH. No sense reminding them. Let's just all wish that they drop DEAD.

Speaking of dead ... can someone please remind Sarah that Valhalla is DEAD.

It died when arkdave quit.
It died when Lanzelot managed to stay alive despite the many death threats he's received.
It died when it decided to ally itself with Tempest.
It died when Parnasus was too busy to keep the guild alive.
It died when Parnasus had his character piloted.
It died when the pilot made a lot of stupid decisions.
It died. Period.

So for Heaven's sake! Please leave Valhalla to REST IN PEACE! Stop making "Something Of Valhalla" guilds already!

In other news ... it's rumored that Parnasus might play RO again. If he decides to resurrect Valhalla, then more power and support to you! :p

Tempest wasn't caught changing their emblems tonight. I'm guessing they were too confused with the emblem changes a lot of guild leaders have been making. But I'm sure they're doing some other nasty things we won't even know of. Once trash. Always trash. I guess it's harder to decide when emblem to use when DoRaiNions have a multi-colored array of emblems. The Rainbow Alliance emblems are hard to copy. Tempest can send me an email asking for the emblems if they want. Email me at tempest@basura.com

Alliances? Two new alliances were born tonight. Well ... alliances that matter anyway. I'm sure there are other alliances out there, but most of them are insignificant and negligible.

When Jaem left Sarah (Thank God he left!) to pursue a career in Thor, we all thought that Fear Us would die. Well they did. But lately, they have Risen to continue their dream of conquering Sarah. Tonight, they allied with one of Sarah's rising stars. Ruthless was seen sporting a sun emblem. This will probably mean that it'll be harder to get Valkyrie castles since that's where ruthless and Risen has been ruling supreme. Good luck to those who have the guys to try their luck attacking this new alliance. I'm sure Risen and ruthless will give them a hard time.

Speaking of HARD ... I bet it was HARD for Mutiny to put aside their differences and ally with one of their foe guilds ... Hellion. Yes ... you heard it first here. Mutiny and Hellion have merged. We've seen them fight it out here in pRO-Sarah and in the RB. There have even been rumors that they've almost taken it to RL. I bet that would have been a great RL WOE. :) As long as I can remember, Mutiny, through the trashtalking ways of Heather, has always been attacking Hellion and their alliances. She even has a Hellion enemy who always screams, "Heather Sucks!" So why would Mutiny ally with a guild we all know they've had MAJOR differences with?

Obviously, they felt that with Fraily allying with Dominion and Minions, the only way they could have a chance at beating that alliance would be to ally themselves with another major guild. Hellion and its numbers would sure help them in their quest to gain an edge over other guilds.

But in every alliance, there is a loser and a winner. Who managed to gain more from this alliance and who has the losing end?

Mutiny lost. Kinain ng Mutiny ang pinagsasabi nila and ended up with their fiercest competitor.

Yabang kasi.

Try and try until you succeed. Or in this case ... try and try until matapos na lang ang WOE, wala pa rin kayong agit.

There are those who don't like my commentaries. People who say it's biased and unfair. But if I know ... these are the people who always check if another commentary has been added. My commentaries are like a 20-car pile-up. You know it's disgusting and really disturbing, but you just can't look away. Anyway, my commentaries have there good side too. Tonight, we're gonna talk about what my commentaries did for Tempest.

We've all seen how Tempest photocopied other guilds' emblems, hoping to get inside the agit and break the emperium. We've seen them employ their talentless tactics only to have these tactics blow up in their face. People posted anti-Tempest comments, and sudius even made a dummy account in the RB to defend Tempest. But HERE in pRO-Sarah where the true voice of Sarah is heard, we haven't seen any trace of Dark_Assassin and his kamote sudius.

Tonight, Tempest went on an all out rampage in Midgard. Attacking castles here and there. They wanted to prove to Sarah that they're not a trash guild. They wanted to prove us wrong when we said that "Walang kwentang basurang guild ang Tempest." They even changed their emblem to reflect a change in their attitude. At first I thought they copied another guild's emblem. I was wrong. It's their all-new and improved Tempest emblem!

After 2 hours of WOE, after the battle trumpets have ended their fanfares, after the fighting inside the castles have died down, after everyone has finished celebrating their success in tonight's WOE ... Tempest was left with NOTHING. Yup ... NOTHING. No castle, no success in capturing an agit, no luck in changing people's minds. A leopard can't change its spots. And a trash guild will ALWAYS be trash. Even with a new emblem. So Tempest ... you might as well go back to your old emblem. And go back to copying other people's emblems. And employing your worthless tactics. At least, you managed to get a castle before. And you managed to amuse and entertain us.

Speaking of entertaining ... it seems that Dorainions has fallen flat on its face. The grand alliance has obviously ended with the return of Dominion and Minions to their old emblems. Whatever the reason why the alliance was formed, Dorainions failed in achieving that goal. Thus the alliance was dissolved and people went on their separate and merry ways.

I have this to say about their alliance ... Lolo Temyo, in every alliance it's important to recognize what the alliance can give you in return. It's practical to see that should the alliance fail, your guild will have more than what it started with. It took you a long time to establish Dominion as one of the strongest guilds in Sarah. And to establish your credibility as a guild to reckon with. Your guild was one of the 3 guilds who managed to defend your agits to gain a Crescent Helm. With the onset of Ice Picks and EDP, holding on to an agit for 2 straight WOE's is an accomplishment.

So I have a question ... I know what Dominion can offer to the alliance. What exactly has the alliance to offer to Dominion? The alliance can benefit from your numbers and siege tactics. We all know they're in desperate need of numbers. But what do you stand to gain? Nothing.

Someone sent me a PM asking me ... "Baket hindi mo feature ang Magna Carta? Biased ka naman masyado." Well, little girl ... the reason why Magna Carta is hardly mentioned in the commentaries is because they don't involve themselves in Sarah Server Drama. What's Sarah Server Drama? Server Drama happens when an incident of a series of events affect people so much that they end up duking it out in WOE or IRL. An example of that would be ...

One Day In PVP:

Jin-Overdrive : Hayop ka! Chamba ka lang napatay mo ko! Naubusan lang ako ng Bwing!
Hellion Champ : Hindi. Wala ka lang kwentang Clown. Pambakla ang style mo. Unfro lang katapat mo.
Jin-Overdrive : Hintayin mo kami sa siege! Babasagin namin ang agit nyo!

After Siege:

Hellion Champ : Akala ko ba babasagan nyo kami? Eh bat dedz kayo?
Jin-Overdrive : AFK.

That is Sarah Server Drama. You can rarely see Magna Carta making pubs in Prontera or trashtalking people. I'm sure it happens but not as much as the other guilds. Of course there was that incident where Magna Carta took advantage of the Pressure-Emp bug and managed to get 5 agits in 1 WOE. Bad bad Luina. But I heard that he was severely reprimanded for it. If there's a guild that Tempest can learn from, it's Magna Carta.

Hmm and possibly Dominion too. And Lost Command. Those are the guilds that I've hardly heard anything bad about. We can learn a lot from them about how to act well in WOE.

P.S.

I will be taking questions from now on. Just PM me your questions And I'll answer 1 or 2 with each commentary. Questions about Sarah Server Drama, WOE Questions, Rumor Questions like "Totoo ba na si ganito ganyan ay gumanon?" and other stuff related to WOE and Sarah. Please don't send me your LOVE questions. Send them to Boo. He's good at pretending he knows a lot about love. :)

Return of the Comeback.

Sounds redundant ba? Well ... sometimes some things just keep coming back. Even when it's no longer wanted. There are times when comebacks are welcome. And other times when their absence was more enjoyable than their return.

Speaking of return ... it seems Dorainions has come back with a vengeance. Apparently, their alliance has higher aspirations than the Maya Purple event. We have been speculating about the reason for their existence and it turns out ... we were right on the dot. Although we failed to mention it, Dorainions has their eyes set on a Server Champ crown. Of course we don't want to cast aspersions on their ambitions, but this all seems a bit premature. Placing the cart before the horse. Blah blah blah. Most assuredly, they will deny this and surround themselves with this air of mystery and try to convince us that we were misinformed and that we have no idea what their plans are exactly. Let us remember that people who think they're mysterious and subtle are actually quite transparent and delusional.

I recall hearing of a rumor that one of the Dorainions guild leaders was going to "rest" and hand over leadership to another person. Wait ... haven't we heard this before? Like months ago? Oh yeah ... this guild leader was telling people that he was quitting when Thor opened. Clearly, it was all just a ruse to get attention and have people tell him "Wag ka na mag quit. Kelangan ka namin eh. Wag ka poh quit ha?" In a word ... NAGPAPA-PIGIL lang pala.

While we're on the subject of returns ... it seems that Chronicles is about to make a comeback sometime soon. Will Chronicles be able to get the members who have filtered into other guilds? Or will Chronicles have a new roster of members? With the return of Chronicles, will the old RPC guilds from last year return to set their sights on an RPC crown? Or will Team Punishment represent Sarah once again and lose in its first RPC match? smile.gif I love tradition. Burn.

Tonight was a terribly boring siege. Of course Tempest copied the emblem of Radiance and we can assume that they copied other guilds' emblems too.

Question for the night:

"Is it true that Dominion is about to unleash a new guild? What is this new guild for?"

- Yes. The guild leader for the new guild is still a rogue. The new guild is for RPC. Of course they're free to deny this.

Plans ... plans ... plans ...

Sometimes they succeed and most often they fail. Sometimes we put months of planning into a singular goal and sometimes we spread ourselves thin trying to achieve something that doesn't contribute to the achievement of better goals. With hindsight, we realize just what we did wrong. And where we failed. So let's look back ...

Now it makes sense why Lost Command always made sure to hold a castle after WOE. Their leader was planning to make a Godly Item. Kudos to Smoke` for gaining the 3rd Godly Item in Sarah. I'm sure the Megingjard will be put to good use and will benefit Lost Command. Unlike the two other Megingjard's that don't really benefit the guild that helped create it. smile.gif

What is an alliance? An alliance can be defined as a close association of groups, formed to advance common interests or causes for their mutual advantage.

With that in mind ... can we call the association of Frailty, Dominion and Minions an alliance? Well ... they can. But we don't consider them an alliance.

Firstly, they're not close. They were only formed to prevent Mutiny from winning the event. Are you so threatened by Mutiny that you had to form an alliance to beat them? Oh sure ... I bet we'll hear stuff like, "Ano ba alam mo? Mali ka. Hindi yan ang reason blah blah blah." Yeah (Censored)ing right.

Secondly, they weren't formed to advance a common interest or cause. Dominion and Minions didn't have a need to make common cause with Frailty. This was Frailty's agenda and mission. However, they didn't have the manpower to make their goal happen. So they deceived Dominion and Minions into thinking that it will be for the good of their respective guilds to ally with Frailty. They convinced these two guilds that there was a threat and they needed to ally themselves to combat it.

Thirdly, an alliance is always for mutual advantage. Everyone in the alliance gains something from the association with others. Can someone tell me what Dominion and Minions gain from the alliance? I'll tell you ... NOTHING. Frailty's goal is either to win the Event or gain an Emblem from the Danau castles. Which leaves Dominion and Minions with what? The job of guarding the castle for Frailty. So in the end ... one of Sarah's best guilds has been left with the task of guarding a castle for another guild. A guild that was once great but has now fallen along the wayside.

Where did they go wrong? They rested on their laurels ... always bringing up the fact that they were part of the "Twin Towers". Aside from sounding really melodramatic and Tolkienesque, they seem to have forgotten that their past glory won't help them in their current campaign. People won't stand aside for them just because they were TP's lapdogs. Dogs eat below the table. They don't deserve to sit in a throne.

In the war of alliances, Hellion, Asher and Mutiny seem to be getting the upper hand. Let me point you in the direction of the Agit Standings for you to see what I'm talking about. In the world of RO, the only stage for supremacy is the War of Emperium. And I'm sorry to say that Dorainions were mercilessly butchered and beaten down by their enemies. Pride goeth before desctruction. I bet their tactic to start an alliance now sounds really stupid huh? Starting an alliance even before the trumpets of Agit Lords have sounded is not only premature but idiotic. Because they resolved to ally themselves against an enemy, another alliance answered the call.

Where is Frailty now? When you're at the bottom, the only place to go is up. Too bad, I don't see that happening soon. And they'll even manage to bring Dominion and Minions down with them. Face it ... the Twin Towers is so OVER. It's so LAST YEAR. Get over it and get over yourselves.

The Reason.

Everytime we fail at something or everytime we fail to achieve our goal, there is always a reason why we failed. Sometimes it's force majeure, circumstances beyond our control. But most of the time, we fail because the range of our vision is short-sighted and we see only as far as our little minds can comprehend. We fail because we deluded ourselves into thinking that perception is reality. That as long as we see ourselves strong and powerful, it is so. But that is wrong in so many ways. So we fail. Fail, failed, failure. And when I say "WE", I mean Frailty.

And so there really aren't reasons for their failure. Only excuses. And today ... we will discuss some of their "excuses".

1. Dinaan lang kami sa dami.

- Let me remind Frailty that RO was designed to ally 3 other guilds to your guild. And if a guild has the capacity to entice more people to join them, then that really isn't their fault if Frailty lacked the charisma to get people to join their ranks. Question? Who started the Alliance Wars anyway? Sinimulan ng Frailty, yung ibang Alliance ang tumapos. Eh di tapos ang Frailty.

2. Nasa dami ba ng agits ang labanan ngayon?

- Alangan! How would you measure a guild's progress or an alliance's progress except in WOE? We can't measure it through zeny because anyone can buy zeny. We can't measure it in PVP because PVP doesn't have an organized system. Guilds weren't created for PVP. They were created for a purpose. That is ... WOE. So obviously, the only way to see if your alliance did better than the other alliance is to see after WOE how many castles you hold.

3. Eh di 1 on 1 guild na lang.

- Been there. Done that. I observed Frailty get beat up earlier. Not once, not twice. Not three times. I lost count after the 5th time.

4. We don't siege for the happiness of others. We don't care what you think.

- Then make a private server and dun kayo mag-hari. pRO is a community and like it or not, you are constantly being judged by the whole Sarah community. You have been weighed ... and found wanting.

5. Di nyo naman talaga alam plans namin eh. Asa pa kayo!

- Na gagawa kayo ng Sleipnir para kay Egg? Duh. Feeling nyo lang secret yun.

But anyway ... enough about Frailty. I don't want to sound biased. So I won't say that Fraily had a really horrible chain of WOE's. Defeated badly and miserably. Seeing their numbers go down. It's the fate of a dying guild. People will no longer want to associate with a dying guild. And so you'll see people leaving.

So we'll talk about another guild. I saw a 13K Triple Slash on the Emp earlier. From Smoke` of Lost Command. And before you say that you've seen higher damage on an Emp, let me say that Smoke's Megingjard is the ONLY Godly item used by a guild master FOR the guild. The other godly item's were just passed around and sold to benefit the needs of one person.

smile.gif

Let us welcome tangkad, who has made a new ruthless guild. Welcome back. It's nice to see someone who didn't give up after being hacked. But sometimes, people should give up because they're fighting a losing battle, like Frailty.

Kudos to Magna Carta for excellent battle tactics and organization. When it comes to battle mode, Magna Carta really has what it takes. Discipline and a strong sense of loyalty and decency. Honor in the battlefield. Which is more than I can about Frailty, whose honor is like a stain in mud.
