I'll keep it short and sweet. (EDIT: that failed..again) Look, WG is at a barrier. Wars like 20v20/25v25, we're fine. Sure, we could do with touching up on the sniping and piling techniques which need improvement still, but we usually have even matches. When it gets to anything higher than 35v35, WG is past the barrier. We spend all our time in wars where the majority of it is when its at a low number of people, and KO's aren't physicaly possible. When some people in WG (those who probably haven't had as much experience as others) get into a war, they're overwhelmed. They're used to quiet and relatively uneventful sniping/hugging microwars. When they get piled by 40 people they think 'omg what do i do?!!1?1 click run eat ffs im dying, omg prayer, crap /dead' We need far more events where people have real experience of cutting edge tanking. Surviving against 10-20 people in full rune isn't tanking, its hugging. If everyone's fluent in tanking technique, and keeping an eye out, we wouldn't have the embarassing KO's that give us an ultimate lose in the war. There's 3 solutions: 1) Intraclan practices with rune scimiators and steel armour (or no armour) 2) Intraclan practices with full rune, but uneven sides (e.g. 35v5), and keep switching 3) Joint ally tank practices (If you want me to give a hand in and become more active, I possibly can in late June. I don't want to seem like i'm blabbering passive comments and not making an effort, because I want to help out. Its just a bad time for me right now.) Sure, we need to keep our hand in at the near-end-of-war technique, but to get near the end of the war, you need to survive to it. Let's learn how to climb the mountain before learning how to survive at the peak. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  |

If you make an effort to attend a practice, not only are you helping yourself, but you're making the experience better for everyone else. I dont think we need much more proof then this: WG vs RE matched opts Initial charge at 00:55 1:23 – First RE member falls. 41-42 1:35 – First WG member falls. 40-41 2:03 – Another RE member dropped. 40-40 2:03 - 2nd WG member dead. 39-40 2:12 – WG member koed 38-40 2:31 – WG member dead 37-40 2:56 – WG member dead 36-40 3:24 – WG member dead. 35-40 3:27 – WG member koed. 34-40 3:28 – RE member dead. 34-39 3:44 – WG member dead. 33-39 3:52 – RE member dead. 33-38 4:05 – WG member dead. 32-38 4:22 – WG member dead. 31-38 4:31 – WG member koed. 30-38 4:42 – WG member koed. 29-38 5:24 – WG member dead. 28-38 5:36 – WG member koed. 27-38 5:51 – WG member dead. 26-38 6:10 – WG member dead. 25-38 6:15 – RE member finally downed.25-37 6:21 – WG member koed. 24-37 6:38 – WG member downed. 23-37 7:19 – RE member dead 23-36 8:28 – WG member downed 22-36 (Best tank – Mathsnerd19) 8:55 – WG member downed. 21-36 9:29 – I die  Tunacan for council 2008 -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." |

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | I agree and like option  1 the best.It is most feasible when we know that we can't necessarily pull more than 20-30 to a practice war like that. Uneven sides are alright, but people don't get as excited or motivated for that. -------------------- |
