honestly open faction is about a bad idea. for those in leadership that dont want to be there step down. for darka makign a rant about a supposedly scheduled meeting the meeting was not very scheduled and to expect that people will just be online on a holiday weekend friday night is ignorant.
there is nothing going on in the game that is important enough that its got to be like omfg we didnt have someone online fri night for cotps meeting no offence cotp barely plays we have more than they do most of the time.
make kgb open faction and when transfers come there will be noone left to tag up on na.
5 weeks to go supposedly .
this entire string of posts seems silly to me honestly.

ya no need for open lol

And Jag our alliance right now seems to be falling apart also


Retalition and Warcry are killing each other Council of mages set retalition to war status and invalid target is helping Ret and a few privates from COTP are attacking Warcry also

And Warcry tried to call KGB out also but for the most part we didnt listen some captain named Joes Salve was being a prick pretty bad but w.e

Its cool that hello kitty split up yesterday or we might have issues hopefully things get solved

Retaliation was removed from the alliance last night. I have set them to neutral for us. (although I would have rather it been war cry removed than retaliation)

Yea some drama was happening in CA.. and some not thinking before acting.

I think now would be the time to get out of this alliance though.

none the less it seems a good time to maybe remove ourselves from this alliance and look for other people to ally with perhaps those with sieges we could assist with.
either way i do not feel its worth a whole lot staying in the alliance with what its come to.
i agree with val warcry should deff be gone by now but then we all know i think they shoulda been gone the day they started shit with me.
seems as ussual the decisions are all up to cotp who wants to do pvp as a once a week event. and not allow people to get their own cities and really do anything at all less it possibly bring pvp to their door
but to be honest i think i could just do my own thing till transfers and not worry too much about what they do and just keep things as it is.
i quit living and going to tiq shortly after i had issues with warcry living out of apautan is okay by me i am liking things as they r

Simply enough, the people who are unhappy right now feel trapped by the fact that we're closed faction. They want to go out and fight and do whatever they please for a while, and KGB's name is tied up politically with the alliance at the moment.

3 Routes:

A. Stay the course - Some players become extremely unhappy and become likely to leave or stop playing because they're bored.

B. Leave the alliance - we almost undoubtedly lose our holdings and no longer have CotP to fall back on, basically leaving leadership to find us a new, less secure home than we currently have thanks to political dealings.

C. Go Open Faction - We lose some manpower who may have been considering splitting for another game anyway while not messing up any politics while being able to keep KGB active with the people who choose to stick around. I suppose we could close the doors, but that's not what I'm suggesting at all. I'm simply saying that if declared open faction, there would be an open door for restless people temporarily slip through in order to get their fight on.

---

Simply put, we're short staffed at our best and we have no business holding down a city+hamlet on this server right now. If it wasn't for our political agreements with HK, we would have lost it by now... but regardless, people want to go fight all over the map which will inevitably bring a fight to our holdings, which our alliance isn't really in a position to defend.

If there are some more options, I'd love to have some better alternatives, this is just what I see from our current situation , numbers, timescale.

If our 10-20 man guild isnt supposed to have a hamlet then many of the 3-5 man guilds out there who have them don't either heh

Point being is i don't really care i'm saying lets stay in the alliance and just go do whatever anyways i dont even care about the sieges i just wanna play the game

I thought it was funny Turlis jumped in vent and said well we don't care if yssam raiders app'ed were just gonna tell them no period reguardless of what the alliance says cuz we said no its a no... then when we got uppity he was like well i'll talk to vessa about it but im sure they know what they are gonna say already and thats fine were leaving soon hopefully they will give celiah a chance

Were doing fine as is i think were just gonna play the game as it comes and stay out of the politics as is

4 - we stop harvesting to macro and start harvesting to pvp. And pvp.

I'm gonna start some group or solo pvp during week days and farm for gear during the week-end / off-days. I'm not playing at darka's hours but if other kgb want to go, I think we really need it and will be usefull for NA to have some experience after the last changes.

Let's be honest : we have carebeared this too much, I'm tired of hearing people losing their regs / gear / loot, and I want to get GY and HK's loot. Let 'em farm for us.

Well I finally got bored, and moved to Aputan. I still have runes for Tiq when I afk macro (ie I wouldnt be on anyway).

But Aputan so far has been plenty for me. Right before I get up to bind, then I went west to explore and villagers got me. Then they came to aputan, and I tried even got close once but 2 vs 1 I couldn't pull it off.

Either way I was headed to Talpec to secout it out and came upon a guy who had about 600 reags total so I just decided to recall and consider myself ahead for the day.

In my opinion, stay in the alliance for macro but stay bound in Aputan, and when we got intruders stop farming and come escort em out. Mabey pick a fight with Talpec or someone too smile

I know darka was outnumbered today as well when I was on but I had no rune and had not bound so I apologize for that, if I am not afk can count on me to come assist now grin

Well it seems like I am a bit late to the topic, since we are discussing tonight in game.

But, wow if mainland Alliances knew the state of this island.... I don't even want to bring up all the crap with the Ceileys Crew and the non-hostility they had toward the Hostiles we just fought. I don't feel we have any allies in this alliance, that being said I don't think it really matters.

How much time should really put into this? Those of us that play have our routines and schedules. Are any of our current players, and let me restate "PLAYERS," going to leave? I know you got tired Jag, but it seems to me you got tired of politics. We have almost constant small scale PVP around Aputan, and great farming. With the change in skill leveling I am solo farming with Fireball and Curse Bolt. We have our win's and losses(sorry Morlander 1k resin hurts). I am kinda rambling so I am off.
