The Great War_[Updated]
By Squelchyfish on 31/01/2010
We did not win the war...
But we did win a sip from a cup that we once used to own.
And it was sweet.
I was thinking of quitting once again, but when i heard of the great war i was exited. It was something I wanted to be part of. It was just like any other war, but we pretended it was so much more. And it was great, and in the end it turned out to be.
From everyone getting together, in preperation, in name changing, the speeches and the pre battle music. It was like the good old days. It will never be the same, but we are working on getting what we once had back.
We were preparing to face Dragonwood, but fought a clan three times better, without fear. Yes most of us were packing 1.5 - 4m. Although we did not win glory as victors of this fight, we should take respite in knowing that every one of us was willing to put a portion of their bank (or the whole of their bank in some cases) on the line for the good of the clan. And perhaps we will gain a reputation of going into battle fully armed with expensive gear - a testiment to the resiliance of Wildguard; although we may lose again and again and again, we will always be willing to fight and fight with great gear. Unlike our adversaries today, who were wearing rune and hides.
I am sure many of you want to comment on the war, please build upon what I have said. This was the reason I was so anal about the boots, this meant alot and I wanted to see that in the eyes of everyone else.
To next time, friends.

I don't even care that we lost. The way we came together, the effort we put in, nothing matched the excitement that I fealt today in my time in WG. Not only that but it was also a really fun fight.

FUCKING EPIC RECRUITMENT PICS THERE.
Although I wasn't there, you all did so well.
Today is the day I am ONCE AGAIN proud to be a guardian.
This is the beginning of great things and we can only thank WG, every single one of you, for making THE GREAT WAR, so GREAT!
Well done.

Congrats guys you really won whether the final numbers show it or not.
Winning isn't on paper its in your heart.
I wish I could have been with you but my granny is sick and I had to go see to her today.
By VEPHYSAURAS on 31/01/2010
Good day, we would have crushed Dragonwood 3 times over today. I can't wait for the next big war.
By Armybuilder1 on 31/01/2010

In my opinion it was some of the best 2m I've ever spent. I consider this to be a community event to be honest. It brought unity, nostalgia, laughter, and it showed what WG is really about. We can spend all this money, devote all this time, and valiantly lose against an extremely more powerful clan than ourselves, and come out with our heads held high and our hearts more confident than before.
If I had the choice, I would do this all again in a heartbeat.
Sorry if these pics turn out to be huge, I have a kinda big monitor:

loved it, i hope we get more fights like that
By hamfield3 on 31/01/2010
Really was a fun war, my first real fight back with WG (cwa doesn't feel as real). Now i just gotta earn back that mill and maybe a few more to buy equipment, make some more forum post, and get some people to support me and I will be a Guardian again, w/o this trial thing infront of me.

For those worried about getting their money back:
Do the two quests for the kingdom in Miscellania. You can get 1.5m to 2m off of your 525k per week, which would make this feel like nothing. And it is the easiest thing to maintain.

Was very fun
By Dieyou2000 on 01/02/2010
Nice to see that we can still pull that many. Now let's do that every fucking war.

The 2 pictures on this topic of members getting KOed having barely eaten is disgusting. This is why we lost. We had them at the start.

I do recall you getting 1 hit by about 20 people, simply because got speared. TBC had alot of spears, so it's no surprise that so many people got KO'd.
By Ubg-Fcbruges on 01/02/2010
It was a great feeling to battle again like we once did. This ain't the end, it's the beginning of something new for WG
By His Lordship on 01/02/2010
Considering they pulled 54 and we 47, we did bloody brilliant and could have won with more even numbers.
I am most impress. Even the loss was a win. We were almost on par with them, and we exceeded our own expectations.
And besides, the respect we're getting on RSC is already worth it.
Guys, I am so touched by the gesture.
I appreciate it, I really do.
By Planolocal on 01/02/2010
hell yes. I loved this, one of the single most influential moments in WG over the past 2 years. Good work guys, good work.
By Snowzak on 01/02/2010
Loved it. I keep hating Dragonwood for pulling out though.

Ya, ragging on people that get ko'd in a P2P fight with spear and d scimmies when they are the beginning piles is totally the responsible leader thing to do.
Just because you like to brag about being so awesome at these wars doesn't mean you can talk down upon people that showed up for you and the rest of the council, in full gear, who happen to be the unlucky ones who get piled first.
Way to turn a positive, uplifting message into a pointing fingers, depressing topic, or at least trying to.

Blaming members for the loss isnt the way to go. We would have done easily twice as well, maybe even win the fight if leaders took my tactic into consideration.
By Mmangler on 03/02/2010
Hell I am a good loser BUT I AM A BETTER WINNER! GOOD Fight team.
By WG_Keanu on 22/02/2010
Do we still need attendance for this?
By WG_Keanu on 24/02/2010
Ok here's what I got:

41/47ish I think, and not sure about the teas.
By Ubg-Fcbruges on 24/02/2010
W3 G0T TE4 is me
By hamfield3 on 24/02/2010
I'm 36
By Nick on 24/02/2010
I am 27.
By WG_Keanu on 07/04/2010
Ok, I am going to get attendance for this one way or another. Using CCs:
27 - Ubg-Fcbruges
31 - Imbryanman
32 - His Lordship
34 - Pyroclastic0
35 - ?
36 - Hamfield3
37 - Joe (confirmed)
38 - Mmanglers
We have EVERYONE EXCEPT #35 which is "WE GOT T3A", the 3 in Tea is only change. The CC no longer exists. Rachel says this is Billy, confirm? Because then the list is complete.
By rachellove9 on 07/04/2010
I was there. I was wrong Strokenuts was Billy. I asked Kyle. All but one person got their attendance. If anyone figures out who it is, please pm me their name. Thanks
By VEPHYSAURAS on 07/04/2010
No way really? +war attendance?

Well that pic has only 41 of the total 47 people we peaked at, plus the one Rachel missed. So 6 people missed out on attendance for one of WG's greatest wars. And I imagine if they wanted attendance they would have posted by now, we've had what, 3 months?
By DZ on 09/04/2010
I was on His_Lordships account for the war (WE G0T TE4) give me attendance
