JUGGY RECAPS THE HORROR

Juggy recaps the night:

A copy of this will be saved on my blog if this thread gets locked.

This is 100% the truth from Juggy's point of view. Any discrepencies are due to events hapening all at once and things may be missed while i was not paying attention or afk.

In the begining there was boredom. It was a slow day at work and Juggy was bored out of his mind, untill Xandir poped up on IM and said that dragons were confirmed poping when spires were completed. Not wanting to miss this Juggy took off 15min early to rush home and see the new dragons.

When I loged in about the only thing I knew was what I had read on the live event update thread. The CL spire was nearly done and antonica's was only 150 or so behind. The crafters had done their duty all day and more then enough crafted materials were ready for use. All that was left were essences.

Dutifuly Juggy set to work collecting. It was not long before the rumors came flying in.
Another server had spawned a lvl 60 x4 dragon in EL which droped 24 fabled necklaces and a title.
The dragons had HUGE AE's and were impossible to kill.
There were 4 possible dragons.
If you killed one dragon you couldn't kill any others (lots of rumors on this point)
The EL and ANT dragons were lvl 30!

Soon the spire was at 950/1000 and Defiance had formed up. The plan was to fan out, find the dragon and lock it before anyone else could. The rumor that it might be 30 was a hot issue. Defiance offecers decided that if it came in lvl 30 to back off and not waste a possible lockout on a dragon that others could benifit from.

998/1000 and everyone was forming up. Insults were traded between DP and Defiance.
AD shows up asking what was going on... was it true a dragon poped when spires done?
999/1000 Scouts spread out with track up.
1000/1000! The dragon was on its way! Soon it swooped in from the north east! But it wasn't agro! No one knew what level it was.
A message flashed that it was overpowered by our force. Juggy shouted on TeamSpeak BACK OFF! IT IS 30!!
Defiance ran back and waited to see what would happen.
Some wanted to log alts, Juggy included. There was no honor in mentoring to kill a 30, and no point if it locked us from a lvl 60 fight! A few Defiance camped. Teamspeak was horrible to understand anyone with everyone trying to talk at once.
"DP IS MENTORING!" someone said. "Lennadel was one shotted" another anounced. Finaly it was clear DP was taking the dragon and were going to win.

"EVERYONE HEAD TO EL" The call came in that EL was at 700/1000 and needed help to finish.
Defiance raced over and after some experimenting found the best mobs to kill for essences.
A post was made congradulating DP on killing the lvl 30 which was quickly removed by mods.
A 2nd post "gone in 60 seconds" was later locked.
Several jokes traded on TeamSpeak and Stannis bet Juggy that Templar was lower DPS than Defiler.
PROVE IT! Stannis and Juggy each grabbed a ^^^ Nightblood and the race was on. For a while Juggy was ahead, but in the end Juggy's mob droped first with Stannis's at 1%. Guess Templar and Defiler realy are evenly matched.

Where is DP? THEY ARE DOING POETS PALACE RUNS!!
900/1000 the first DP show up and begin forming under the spire.
950/1000 lag is realy bad from spectators and a DP/AD (unsure if they were linked or 2 seperate) raid was standing by.
998/1000 Scouts spread out, DP is going to try and steal! SAME PLAN GET ENCOUNTER LOCKED WE STILL DON'T KNOW 100% IF THEY ARE LOCKED OUT OR NOT!!
999/1000
1000/1000 EVERYONE LOOK OUT GET IT LOCKED ASAP!

The huge black dragon flew in. Juggy did not see it arive he was on the north side of the spires. The earth shook as the beast set down. Chaos, pure chaos, then finaly "We got it!! Everyone heal abelia!" The dragon rose up and with a flap of its wings threw everyone back. The raid scatered in all directions from the blow. Stunned it took Juggy a second to realize he had landed in the water. Another second to get his bearings and he was swiming madly for the shore. Abelia was taking hit after hit from the mighty claws but it could not pierce her armor! The clash of teeth on steal rang out and Juggy called the spirits for their protection. Wraped in an un-natural ward Abelia was protected for now. Once again the beast rose up and once again Defiance was scattered! Bodies flew everywhere but thankfully no one died. Another second of chaos as Exenka turned tward Armus. Un worried Abelia calmly grabed the beasts attention with a resounding shout!
Seconds later the body lay lifeless and a great shout of victory echoed through the Enchanted Lands.

"Good Job all! We did it! Congradulations on our new titles" Juggy will wear his proudly. This title shows that Juggy has stood against a great dragon and won.

What now? Many great warriors are tired and need to go home to rest after a day of battleing. Some want to try and kill the Antonica dragon.

(1140258421)[Sat Feb 18 02:27:01 2006] Shargul has killed Exenka.

ENTER SUPER FRIENDS!!!

About 8 Defiance alts showed up to try for the Antonica dragon. When we arived the tower was at 900 / 1000. A few crafters worked away at benches and a group of Beegy Raiders was watching on waiting to follow in DP's footsteps.

Un-detered A raid is formed. SUPER FRIENDS Want a stab at the dragon. The 30-39 channel is spammed with advertisements for a pickup raid to the Antonica dragon. A flood of requests comes in and the raid is completed.

FOR THE RECORD ONLY ONE THIRD (1/3) OF THIS RAID WAS SUPERFRIENDS! THE REST WAS PICKUP RAIDERS FROM ALL GUILDS! NO PREFERENCE WAS MADE WHAT SO EVER TO ANY ONE BASED ON GUILD! RAIDERS WERE CHOSEN SOLY ON THE BASIS OF LEVEL AND CLASS!!
And why shouldn't they be? This is a lvl 30 dragon, seems fitting that a group of 30-40 should kill it! We even had a lvl 28 and a lvl 29 involved.

What seemed like hours passed untill for reasons unknown to me Beeglin and his raid brokeup and logged out. At this point the spire was 917/1000. Yes thats right only 17 progress in what seemed like hours. As a matter of fact it was probably only one hour.

Great! The little raid that could keept working. Despite trouble with mentoring, afk's LD's and other common pickup problems.

When the spire is nearing 980/1000 another raid apears. A raid of 60's who will be mentoring down to try and steal the glory of killing a mob half their lvl.
Along with competing raids comes insults. I was not paying to much mind to /ooc and /shout

(1140271847)[Sat Feb 18 06:10:47 2006] Ordanach has descended from the Overrealm!!

4 HOURS LATER! The spire is finished and the dragon arives!

Several times the dragon turned agro and the other raid grabbed it. EACH TIME THEY LOST IT BEcAUSE SOME OR ALL OF THEM WERE TOO HIGH OR OTHERWISE NOT ALLOWED! The dragon turned un-agro again, reset and we tried again.

Eventualy we got the lock. Down it went. I was a little unsure how a pickup raid of 30-40's would handle a x4, not many in those levels have any kind of raid expierence. I even had one person who joined ask me what a "pickup" raid was.
My voice on teamspeak was clearly showing my frustration all night. Organizing a pickup raid to get the last 100 of the spire was not easy and it took 4 hours to complete what should have taken 30min.

BEEGLIN: I have a whole new respect for what you do. I never want to be leader of a pickup again.

On the whole the night was good. I was thanked MANY times for a wonderfull raid, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I was told repeatedly that I had done a wonderfull job making sure this raid got the kill over the others that were simply mentoring to steal.

The above is completly un-edited. I even left in my cursing to show that: yes at 6:19:11 in the morning I do not expect any children to be online, and those that are should have the language filter set. However I would like to point out Kaze. This is entirly un called for. As mentioned MANY times there were no defiance members in this raid. The highest lvl in this raid was a 51. the lowest a 28. EIGHT(8) members of the raid were in SUPER FRIENDS whom you all know by now is defiances alt guild. that is 1/3 defiance alts, and 2/3 pickup of whomever wanted of apropriate level.


AFTERMATH:

NO NAMES ARE EDITED FOR THEIR PROTECTION:

Re: lay off beeglin Having read your post carefully and giving it some thought, I've decided that about many things you're right. I've been harsh on your guild, and intentionally so, due to the actions and behavior of some of your members. I will lay off the attacks and see what happens. Granted I'm not saying I won't post if I disagree with something, but I won't outright flame your guild the way I have been. We'll see how that goes. Also, for the record, I'm not in a raiding guild, never have been, and have absolutely no interest in being in one, so jealousy is not a factor.

In light of facts I have to say: Tigerloord, fuck off. You just proved your jealousy with your comments.

Super Friends. No further words are needed or will be given.

Super Friends is an ALT guild, you got a problem with us fuck off. I don't need this shit, and if you want a war keep in mind what I have told you before:

Re: lay off beeglin

What exactly then are you hoping to accomplish by flaming every thread that I respond to? 24/30 of your posts against Defiance makes me wonder if your just looking to cause drama.
You speak of self controll yet you can not controll yourself. You respond to a post I make telling others to not flame with inflamitory remarks!

As for my all caps posts? Run a quick search for other server firsts... DP even uses bold and italics in their darathar post. If you look at other guilds posts and their entirly positive responces, I can only come to one conclusion: Jelousy. I am very sorry for whatever reason you have to flame but some facts remain the same:
1) Defiance is a raiding guild
2) We are the best on the server
3) Being so far ahead of the other raiding guilds we will always get the server firsts
4) As is human nature we will always post our accomplishments. Bragging, cheering, and jumping up and down screeming like little girls is what is expected after a hard won fight.
5) posting our accomplishments is also a way for others to keep up with how we are doing. Its advertisment. In the 2 days following our defeat of the Godking, I personaly got 4 recruitment /tells, and as a guild we gained 3 new members.

Finaly the most important fact:
6) Flaming us is only making us look better in the eyes of the comunity. Re-read all of our locked posts. You will see that yourself, flycry and only 1 or 2 others have taken stances against us. The rest of the comunity tells you to back off and let us celebrate. You are not making us look bad, you are not making any one chage their minds against us. You are showing the comunity that defiance drama is directly a resault of YOU THE FLAMERS!

tigerlord001

I looked up his record on posts. It seems that 24 of his 30 posts are directed against me and my guild. I can not see how this is a contribution to the community or acceptable behavior on the forums.

He is now draging his drama over to other guilds posts simply because I have posted there. He is stiring up trouble and causing honest threads to be locked. This kind of harrasment is going to far, can something be done about him please?

PS I also sent a copy of this note to staryeyedelf, I am not trying to spam the mods, just hoping that one of you will take notice and at least review the situation.

TIGERLORD001: I hope you keep in mind when you are proving how childish you can be that the mods are watching.
