Motivational material

By Stokenut on 11/11/2009
I want some opinions on this.
In DI, motivational speeches and songs played over TS before and mid-fight were key in keeping morale high for those intense 10+ hour fights.

At the collision war the crap audio meant most of you couldn't hear the speech I prepared, so here's a copy of it.

I suggest that before every (large) war, we have a motivational speech from Lordy or another influential figure. (Not some random, it loses it's effect). Just as we're walking up. Right before the fight starts. This really gets most people pumped.

After the first hour of the fight, the drag starts to kick in and dedication becomes the key factor. Now in when our morale really needs the boost. Basshunter songs are great, fight club theme music, etc. They just give the whole clan a boost and in my opinion, is what we need Sunday night against MoD.

Good or bad? You could have completely different views on this. Let's hear them.

Sounds like a good idea. Keep things interesting.

In the past the speeches were the best part of being in WG.

I absolutely love when we have something pre-war to motivate us. The war where we did Giraffes in the Air was probably my favorite pre-war motivational thing that I have done.

I think that if they get overused, it would deter from the impact that they might have and make it seem a bit casual rather than what they should be used for though.

Playing some of the usual WG songs such as Giraffes in the Air or We're Not Gonna Take It, along with some new ones that really get the adrenaline pumping would definitely work for Sunday.

A speech? Maybe, but we need to make sure that a good mass happens.

Please not giraffes in the air.
I will shoot myself if I hear that song once more.

I play my own music in a war anyway hash.png
But a motivational speech at the start wouldn't be bad.

Completely agree, hence why I tried to let you play it. But yea, was a good speech.

We used to have a rap.
Sung before the start of important wars/pkri's

This war was before I even left to join DI lol
It was a one-off too.

By rachellove9 on 12/11/2009
Yah the speeches are great. (I did giggle just a lil when I played the rap thing.) Didn't Glenn do one motivational speech or something?

Steve yours are great. I think you're motivation is great. We your history with WG, you are a person who can motivate a lot of WG.

Those words make me want to take a blunt knife and slowly cut off small sections of my body so I experience the maximum amount of pain before I die from blood loss.

NO.

I made that happen!
Oh the days of being a Warlord... I miss them dearly. sad.gif
