TW Predictions: 8/21/09 -- 8/23/09

*slap* Wake up, you lazy Heaven's Tear players! Now, I know that last week's Predictions were all too great, and I confessed to random guessing on some ones...but now that's all gonna change! This week was the debut of my first-ever TW Predictions Chatroom, and I have to say, it was a resounding success! Not only was I able to get some good info, but everyone helped decide on some decent TW Predictions and times. So let's give this shot at redemption a try! TW Predictions...go!

DISCLAIMER: All predictions are the sole opinion of Konari Raiden, and are not to be attributed to any Faction, player, or group, unless otherwise specified. I also do not claim to be a TW know-it-all, and do these Predictions for their entertainment value, rather than accuracy.

Ooh...tough luck for the smaller Factions this week...I bet they were hoping to try and hitch a ride on the Free-Land-Gank Express...but no dice. Both newcomer Factions are gonna have to face the Dark Blue Warriors alone...together, if that makes sense...whatever. These should both be quick battles, but...

Victor: Enrage, in less than 10 minutes.

...knowing Enrage, they like to have a little fun in TW's. After an anonymous tipster let it slip in TW chat about farming him some lowbies in TW...*cough-spawnkill-Barrage-cough* ...I think Enrage'll have some fun with one of the two newcomers tonight. My money, and most of the chatroom's money, is on Heatwave...just 'cause we think they sound a tad cooler than Sonic. So, enjoy those free PK numbers, Enrage...have some smexy fun out there.

Victor: Enrage, in about two hours...if you catch my drift. b:sin

Ah, yes...who didn't see this coming? Tien only has two choices to attack now...Assault, or Caesar...and I'm not sure that they're ready to take on the latter yet. Assault seems to be a Faction made of mostly Ex-Triad members (if it's true, I find it ironic because of the color of their territory... b:chuckle), which seems to already be very, very formidable. Tien seems to have carved a good niche into the TW map already...but I say Assault will be their biggest challenge yet.

Victor: Tri--Assault, in about 35 minutes.

Things seemed to have changed a bit for the Blue Meanie (Yellow Submarine FTW), in regards to its crusade against Tao. After the 1k TW, I think I've been forced to rethink Enrage's intentions. This three-way gank this week should show if they have a new target in sight, or are just biding their time to strike back...who to defend...who to defend...? b:question

Victor: *sings* We all live in a Yellow Submarine... ಥ_ಥ

When I spoke about Enrage's changed intentions, I was pretty much talking about this TW. This topic seemed to be one of the more debated topics in the TW Chatroom. After a good amount of back-and-forth between members of most of the current land-owning Factions...we seemed to settle on the prediction that Enrage was best suited to defend against Radiance this week. I think you know what this means about the other two TW's...even though I still want some PEW-PEW action...but what are you gonna do? These things happen from time to time. If Enrage does completely defend against Radiance, I'm fairly sure they'll be able to keep their land.

Victor: Enrage, in a little under 30 minutes.

Ah...what to say, what to say, what to say, that hasn't already been said before. Merely...the pattern of Caesar getting ignored by Enrage yet again, scooping up another land, and moving one step closer to completely sealing off Archosaur, continues...congrats, I guess.

Victor: Caesar, in 5 minutes...yet again...

Hehe...this was the most-hotly-debated defense of the weekend. Tien's defense against both Belial and the possibly returning Triad is going to be a good one, no doubt. But with the new funds comin' in, and the respectable power of Tien, it's going to be an uphill struggle for both attacking Factions. I think Belial will be just tad more difficult to hold off, but if Tien keeps its head together, they can win these defenses sure enough.

Victor: Tien, in around 35 minutes.

Well, it seems like Triad is trying to make a return to the map, hoping for a new start and a new color (I'm thinking the smexy pink...hehe.). However, even with a 2-way split of their forces, I think Tien's got enough fight in them to repel the attack. It's true, Triad isn't what it was before...and I think it may be proven yet again in this TW.

Victor: Tien, in 25 minutes.

Enlighten seems to have been an on-and-off sort of Faction; getting land for a while, then losing it, only to get it back later in the future, and disappear yet again. Well, I think the curtains are closing for another time for Enlighten. Assault's power is...well...extremely assaulting, and in a 1v1, power can be quite the factor in deciding the match. If you do leave the map Enlighten...don't let this be your final bow. We await your return.

Victor: Assault, in a tad over 25 minutes.

Well, it seems like DrkRiders just won't quit. This week, they're going after Radiance, hoping to score some slightly easier land, perhaps? Admirable effort, gang...but I still don't think Radiance is the right way to go...but defeat IS the greatest teacher, after all! Keep learnin', keep growin', and you'll find that one opponent you'll be able to take down!

Victor: Radiance, in about 10 minutes.

I have to say; it's about time. I'm sure Radiance was psyched after snatching Etherblade from Enrage...but now the tables have turned. The six-catapult advantage is now in Enrage's favor, and, even though they've been weakened, Enrage isn't down for the count just yet. I'm sure they have enough fight to give Radiance's "A-Team" a good battle, and with the catapult advantage, the battle is turned even more in Enrage's favor. Radiance has always been a heavy wall when it came to their defense...but like everything else, it has its limits.

Victor: Enrage, in approximately 25 minutes.


So...let's hear it, gang! This time I actually put some work into it, and I thank all those who helped me out with my first TW Predictions Chatroom! Trust me, these predictions would have been WAY different if it wasn't for you guys! If you wanna join in the next session, it's going to be mostly every Thursday night, right after bidding, and usually lasting an hour or two! Hope to see you again on Sunday, for the weekly TW Wrap-Up!

b:bye
