With a heap load of neglect in terms of updating due to recent events, we’ve entered into an alliance with AE ( The remake of Imperial Order whose name I can still not remember) and BU (Baka’s United)! The meetings were fast, there were no huge objections against the alliance that were voiced, and the terms for the most part were discussed. lol I really should have updated this to say this earlier, but I’ve been quite busy since my work hours have been extended.

The order and terms of holding are as follows:

1. Turns are on a weekly basis
2. Turns in order are LS, AE, then BU. So this week is ours.
3. During WoE, vent hostings will be on our vent during LS and BU’s vent during AE and BU’s turns. Vent information can be found here. If unable to see it, you need to register on the forums and either speak to me or have an officer validate your LS guildmanship.
4. As with alliances like this, only the guild leader of the holding week may give the command to break a castle. Please refrain from breaking castles randomly as this restricts our breaking capacity endgame.

Guild Title Auction

As there was some delay on it being set up, the auction is proceeding from the 5th to the 10th. Once the month is over, on the 1st, the auction will resume as it normally would and winners of the auction will receive items to make up for the lost days based on what the end result of the auction is in terms of points used.

Recruitment Points

I’d like to thank those that have been recruiting, but alas! No one is actually fessing up for being responsible for the recruitment! This makes guild points impossible to distribute so you can’t quite increase your point total. The Recruitment Pickup Center is a good place to post with a screenie or name of who you picked up!

There have been a lot of things going on lately. So with what time I have, I’m going to try and cover as many points for the lot of you. Some good, some bad. So since no one is around to tell me what you’d rather hear first, I’ll start off with the bad news and finish with the good since that’s what I would rather do. Also, as a precursor, I’m fully aware that it’s April Fools Day. This post is in no way, shape, or form an attempt to trick anyone.

Alliance Split

You read that header right. The alliance is splitting as Devil’s Advocate’s decided to pull me into a meeting last night to state that they’re leaving the alliance. Later on, I found that they have already allied to Faction. This bullocks caught the Love Suicide attendees off guard, but myself personally, I saw this coming months in advance around the time of some of the first joint meetings while Lorek was in Poland. Of course, there was no way for me to know who they were going to ally with, there’s been a lot of association between Lorek and Darton as of late.

Which brings me to another point. While it was stated that Lorek wouldn’t hand the information to get onto our vent, I’ve still seen some unsavory people enter. While no trouble was started and it wasn’t Lorek who handed the information, it goes to show that there are people out there with the vent information. Soon I’m going to be changing that information. Might be today, might be a few days from now.

As for what is left of the alliance, from what I’ve heard from Lorek via the recorded meeting, Instinct is going on break or something. I’ll need to talk to their officers or something to see just what they plan on doing since DA is apparently not keeping them.

What does this change? Really not all too much. Towards the time they split off to “get back to their roots”, which never seemed to happen, alliance teamwork consisted of maybe seeing Lorek or Eggroll in the ending minutes. Other than that, nothing much has changed. We may either work co-op with Instinct or keep things going as we have been. Only thing now is that we have one more guild to worry about.

Guild Point System Released!

That’s right! I finally got off my arse and organized the guild point system and released it. This involved many hours of calculation and distraction and I’m hoping that it’s used for the greater benefit of the guild. Especially ones with gear that isn’t so good and could use improvements.

Speaking of which, the auction thread for guild titles is released today as it’s the 1st of the month!

The system is going to have more ways to earn points as soon as I work out the kinks for the entire lot of it all. Namely, one of the ways is going to involve guild tax and the other will involve recruitment. Point values however are still being touched on.

lol Also, I’m out of time. So my bad for not putting a fancy image or something to distract you. xD I’ll do it next time. Promise! Stay gold everyone and…

After talking and asking more about your take on the LS/EQ stand alone alliance, apparently there is more disapproval this time around. This means that I’m going to everyone that didn’t want to ally and find out their reasons for not wanting it to happen. I know a few of you the first time around were indifferent towards the matter. For the most part, everyone seemed cool about it besides zan and if I remember right, Mayhem. This time there are apparently those that would leave the guild over going into an alliance with them.

I do not particularly appreciate having used all this time going into meetings, writing up proposals, and overall losing a lot of time to actually play the game to find out only now that your decisions were actually “no”.

Treasures

On a lighter note, the treasures from the Saturday hold are finished in their collection. They’re really very good and we will be omitting one of the shares due to recent events due to some leaving. The shares will be mailed to the character that you attended on, so after today, start checking your mail.

EXP!

This week, the server has double exp going! I’m going to be trying to run in Thors as much as possible for those 85-95 depending on who is available. If you know priests/high priests in the 80+ range, you are welcome to ask for a party for thors. I just ask that you have fire armor prepared as you will undoubtedly die if you don’t have it.

Do keep in mind though that I am not a bank. Me taking you to Thors means that I personally spend about $10 in kafra points and about 1m an hour in pots. So please take that into consideration. If you are able to go, you undoubtedly will get a lot of experience unless you just wander off without the group. Levels 88-90 whooshed by fairly quick on my TKM that was on 50% tax.

Leveling of the Guild

Considering this week will be double experience and that the guild is only 24m away from a level, we’ll be having our new guild level pretty soon. Possibly even today if I go at it hardcore.

Not much else I don’t think. Off the top of my head that is. So stay gold everyone and…

As you have most likely have read, heard about, or experienced, the Love Suicide, FN Pirates, Kakumei alliance is no more. This was discussed at length with the guild officers among others that have found the actions and words of Kakumei’s leader intolerable. This has been going on for quite some time now and has been escalating as of late.

This has by no means left us vulnerable. It was also discussed that we acquire a new alliance. This is going to form between Devil’s Advocates and ourselves. Another alliance is in discussion now, but needs intervention with Lorek (DA’s leader) so that this can be a mutually favorable alliance.

In the event that you are still using the FN Pirates ventrilo server, you are still permitted for now via their leader. This will not always be the case, which is why I have purchased a new vent server in joint between Love Suicide and Devil’s Advocates. The information to get on can be found through the guild message. Please do not post the information out, even in our own forums unless you’re in a hidden section.

With the server information, I’m going to be changing the global password every now and then and I request that you talk to either myself or Neko to set up a user account. If asking Neko, do a few tests over vent since she hasn’t set up a good deal of accounts. Keep in mind your password, but if you forget, it can always be changed.

If you run into any problems with the said vent, tell me about it via RO, a comment here, or something on the guild forums.
