WG Victory

The Battle of Turning Tides was a war between WG and Dangerous Business which took place in June 2010. It is the second war in WG history to be given a special name, following The Great War which occured six months previously. WG's victory over DB ended a six-month losing streak for the clan.

Background

Following The Great War, WG continued to lose all of their planned fights until June 2010, when His Lordship began preparations for another large-scale war. He originally considered around 20 other clans for the battle before finalising a war with DB, as they were the only clan who would accept WG's conditions of a P2P, knock-out (no returning) Wilderness war on a Sunday.

The war had one week's preparation, and the intensity was even greater than that of the Great War. Forum signatures were made in a film-ticket style, as well as a custom Flash banner. His Lordship stated that all attendees of the war were to get a limited-edition GuardianScore medal, have their names entered in a draw for a WG T-shirt or cash equivalent, and to have their character drawn in the next clan Flash movie. The draw for the WG T-shirt was held on 4 July, and won by RiGiiD.

War Preparation Video

A war preparation video was made in Flash by His Lordship, and is considered one of his greatest Flash works. The video is done in the style of a news report, and features various artistic interpretations of WG members (all voices were done by His Lordship). A public version was released to the wider clan community which was slightly edited to retract some specifics such as exact gear setups.
