Please note that this is just a prediction thread I won't be doing reports on them, just predictions, just for the fun of it, that's all they will be 'prediction' I could easily be wrong, so please don't get discouraged if I didn't choose your faction to win. :)

Defender first, Attacker last. =x lol

(pow = prediction of winner)

Equinox vs Calamity : PoW: Calamity | Actual winner: Calamity
Equinox vs Inversion : PoW: Equinox | Actual winner: Inversion
Equinox vs Renegades : PoW: Equinox | Actual winner: Equinox
Calamity vs Equinox : PoW: Calamity | Actual winner: Calamity
Calamity vs Dynasty : PoW: Calamity | Actual winner: Calamity
Calamity vs Vanquish : PoW : Calamity | Actual winner: Calamity

EDIT: Not an easy choice choosing who will win this weekend, (between calamity, and equinox, and even equinox vs inversion, only time will tell.)

Please remember that nothing is set in stone, especially when it comes to any prediction. Unless you believe in the powers of premonition which honestly I don't have, this is just mostly a guess, so good luck to all factions, may your swords slay many of your foes, and more importantly have fun.


Not much different then last weekend, good luck to all Twing this weekend.

    Volf tanked my FB39 with Nyte as cleric when they were at lv 79, or so...

    So I'm sure he can pull it off. ^^

    Calamity wins all
    Equinox wins all except against Calamity

    The only fear I have is that EQ shows up against Calamity and then inversion manages to take a land from EQ through a gank.

    Propability of Cala losing = 0%

    With BB on vacations, we don't just lose a leader for this weekends, we lose a TW coordinator that's been a key piece in coordinating 100+ people to defend versus 140+ This will be the first weekend in a long time where someone else other than BB takes over tactics in Calamity. So it will be a bit crazy in the leader room, to say the least.

    Still it always comes down to attendance and smarts. I wont be able to TW this weekend most likely either, but I'll be rooting from the sidelines. Equinox already had succesfully defended Calamity and Inversion both at once (as in managed to beat inversion while trying to hold off Calamity), so I don't see why wouldn't they be able to pull it again. My predictions are:

    Cala wins all their defenses, if losing, they'd lose to Vanquish, not for being outsmarted but for being outnumbered.

    Equinox loses against Calamity, the result of inversion depends on their turnout. I'd say they're giving Calamity an empty map if they don't have the numbers. Fridays are usually slower than Saturdays in terms of attendance for any TW faction.

    Dynasty 3 hours Tempest and manages to not lose. I always nagged at Calamity that a default 3 hour war isn't a victory. I don't consider anything that doesn't involves killing the enemy crystal a victory, if anything, it's just home field advantage.

    Sure Andres, I can believe that TW organizing is bit hectic without the guy that usually does it. That would be true for anyone.

    But I'm not convinced that the lack of BB would be enough to topple Calamity. I'm sure there are plenty of very capable people in Calamity, if there weren't... how is it exactly holding all that land? There must be several very capable persons in there.

    So I don't see lack of BB being all that meaningful. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying that it'll be a cakewalk, or effortless. But I am certain that Calamity is 100% behind every TW they make, I just can't see them half-assing it now. So even if winning is hard for Calamity, I still cannot see them losing either.

    Inversion had a great turnout tonight. We came prepared for a knockout dragout fight. From our estimations we only faced 4-5 squads from EQ once Renegades was finished. We had the most people online that we've had in a while. Growing stronger daily! Great work to all and a good effort from Equinox.

    EQ had a really sad turnout...70 people to fend off 3 way gank. It made it worse that the Cala fight was the first one to go off so we couldn't send that many to Inversion...and it was actually 2 squads, squad I was in and another squad.

    I saw more come in after Renegades... I was curious though why 2 squads would try to attack over defend against us. Around 5m hp left on Crystal we saw reinforcements arrive though. I could be wrong, but video of the end was much more than 2 squads. Either way it was a fun fight. Will we hold on to it? We will see.

    QQ sorry, I was kinda busy thursay/friday so I pretty much assumed that Tempest went to attack Dynasty, I don't understand why they didn't, and they didn't attack Equinox or Calamity Either.

    Equinox decision surprises me greatly, I can say I'm shocked, to a point impressed by the fact that they finally lived up to their philosophy and focused on Calamity rather than inversion. Calamity faces a hard choice next week, Inversion can only attack EQ land if not Calamity land, while Calamity could choose to wipe one faction of the map, hopefully only temporarily. Dynasty or Equinox. Who would we bid on?

    Most interesting, who would EQ bid on? Duke it all out and set the end of this over a year long rivalry with Calamity, by risking the chance to lose their last land next week and not being able to retake one from Calamity? or secure land for another week and hope for an easier war vs Inversion?

    Sure inversion looks like a great contender, looking forward for future TWs vs Inversion. Who knows, at this point, they could well be the last faction standing before a full red map?

    More focused on tonight. It all comes down to attendance and squad movements, fighting vs 140+ people with 100+ is never easy. Equinox is getting stronger, most of their new recruits are people that will flourish into great treats in no time, and the few that are not, are motivated greatly to take down Calamity. We'll see what happens this afternoon. For now, I'll stand on my prediction:
    We defend all if attendance allows us to do so. If not, Vanquish wins.

    Reinforcements came after our crystal was being overwhelmed.
    The plan was to steamroll Inversion by going right to the crystal so we could join the Cala fight right away. Like I said, only around 70 people signed up for TW (despite there being 100+ members on at the time) and Inversion fight started 6min after Cala which gave us a severe disadvantage in squad numbers.

    Despite being outnumbered tho, I believe we did great against Cala. When we arrived at Cala fight the crystal was more than half perished but we got it together and held it till it was back at 800k-ish HP.

    The way I see it, the problems were
    1) low TW attendance
    2) extremely disadvantageous start times (Cala -> Renegades -> Inversion...)
    3) we underestimated Inversion

    I'm anticipating for tonight's attack but unfortunately the same can't be said for some of EQ members who have low moral after last night's double land loss. =/

    To settle all the rumors as to why Tempest didnt bid it was an oversight on my behalf i work 12 hour shifts one week nights and one week days. Ive had to work a ton of overtime not by choice lately and on the day of the tw i ended up working 18.5 hours in a 26 hour period and i thought maybe one of the other officers that have my pass would bid i just completely over looked it. So the rumors of us not attacking as a favor to one faction or another,or that we are broke, or that this was punishment in one way or another are all false. Some people have real lives to live and sometimes mistaked in game are made due to that. And ive read that Cala if they take the server will disband but do you really plan on that? why would a faction of friends simply give up and part ways?
    Funniest tw request ever b:thanks

    Congrats to all who won.

    As for equinox going after calamity instead of inversion, well it is their choice, didn't care much for how some of the people of one of the losing factions world chatted a personal vendetta against another faction for going after them and winning.

    Whatever though, I don't want to say how I feel that is wrong, obviously wont change what that faction will do when they see the faction that they now hold a grudge towards.

    ....

    So again congrats all, good luck keeping your last land, whomever calamity goes after next weekend. Whether it be Equinox, Inversion, or Dynasty.

    Anyone else notice the ranibow colored map? :D

    Ranibow colored map ftw! Even if it will only be a week. =x

    As for calamity taking over the lands as... wrong, as pretty much always for me... I have... mixed feelings about it.

    On one hand all is fair in love and war, and whatever decisions one super power makes, in the end they will be the ones with the power; therefore, whatever they think is right will go, as that old saying goes to the victor goes the spoils. Not to mention I do feel that they deserve to paint the map red at least once, and hopefully if/when they do they wont disband like many people seem to want to believe.

    That is where the other part of my feelings come in, I do not like it when one power holds all the lands, but if it does happen, I for one will be glad that it is a faction like calamity; however their will obviously be people who will disagree with that, whether they feel calamity wronged them in their fb, tt, or tw chances, or that they just believe that no one power should hold all the power, whatever it may be, calamity has my respect.

    Equinox has already been wiped of the map. Not even by Calamity's hand. I guess dreams not only do come true, they are also recurrent.

    Don't try blaming on Inversion your TW loses against us. first week. It was your decision to give us an empty map. Second week you decided again to give us like 40 people. Third week, you managed to defend inversion while we were having fun dropping middle lane and gate towers and still lost against us 80v80, not outnumbered. Same thing this week...

    @Paco
    I sure hope Calamity won't disband. This is my home, will always be. I hope that we can commit our leaders to work together with those that were never our rivals and have always been respectful and friendly towards us. There's plenty of lands that hold very little tactical advantage and are next to each other that could provide small TW factions environment for their fun. We could also try making more "fair" TWs by evenly distributing squads to wars instead of just rush 80 for 5 minutes against 40 people and full turtle the other wars we have in 1 day.

    I'm not saying, hey, we should fix TWs so that our friends get lands for not attacking us. But if we have 3 defenses in one day, it's hard to coordinate 100+ people to 3 wars, the risk of having to sacrifice 1 land always exist. I will always say that. That being said and no offense intended to any small factions. Many of us TW mostly for our rivalry, personally, I am only free to TW any day that we have to defend EQ/Dyna/Vanquish. The rest of the weekend, I rather give my spot to new blood. I will always fight with Calamity to keep Dynasty, Vanquish and Equinox from taking land, as long as we're succesful doing it. I would love to see more colors in the map.

    @Azzazzin
    What bothers you today is no different from over one year ago, when both EQ and Calamity silently agreed to split the map in Half. Many small faction players voiced their discontent because only 2 factions would have all land. Truth be told. No map will ever have enough factions or lands to please the needs of all the players or factions for a fair TW distribution.

    Logic behind it is very simple: Who "deserves" a land?
    Is it only the ones that can defend it?
    Is it only for the ones that can afford TW expenses?
    Is it only for the ones that can show 80 to TW?
    Is it only for the ones that have at least 60 of those 80 over lvl 90?

    Pick your favorite reason, and leave Calamity out of the poll. Next power in line is Equinox and then very close together you can find HDT, Dynasty, Tempest, Inversion and a bit behind Vanquish, Warlocks, Bushido, Violated, Prodigy, _Legacy_, Exclusive, Contender.

    In order to achieve a "fair" TW enviroment, we'd have to disband both Equinox and Calamity and spread them through all those factions b:chuckle If not, what will stop Equinox from doing what they have already done, and hide behind a curtain of small factions trying to rebuild? We can't afford that again.

    I have every right to post behind whatever account I wish to, and you don't know whether I may have a main in EQ or not. I could be in Dynasty, Vanquish, even non TW factions such as Oldies. Believe it or not there's people on the server besides those in EQ that want a less red map.

    The only reason they were wiped off the map the first time is to relocate with the new TB lands. It was a voluntary thing, and it helped them for a long time.

    EQ might not have the TW numbers at times, but they have a huge fighting spirit to hold onto what they already acquired; and its greatly admired.

    Also Andres, thanks for addressing Alaxan's gen chat. I'm not trying to bash calamity; it's just sometimes things people say bothers me. Feels like they get away with things. Hard to explain, but yeah, thanks :)

I don't mind talking to a John Doe. Was just hoping some of us would be more open to show our "True Colors" specially after what the faction you support speaks so proudly of.

    You think you're helping them. You're wrong. your lack of commitment to the truth ends when you chose to hide your name. Nice example for the ones you support and for the ones that troll this forums.

    And yet it's Equinox who's gonna let all of them attack us next week, while they go and attack inversion. Nice example of a useful alliance. The leader does whatever he can to survive while the allies are used as meatshields.

    The feeling of Calamity when Equinox fled to the south was not of victory. We were sad, disappointed, frustrated. We hoped that our rival would fight until the end, instead they "relocated". You can name it as whatever you want. But to stop fighting us to go hide behind a wall of weaker TW factions to rebuild doesn't yell pro TW planning to me. If anything it spells despair. Desperate measures generally result on short term. And your measure resulted on short term solutions. Equinox was a formidable faction to TW against for 3 months.

    Whomever it is hiding behind an alt to post knows what the full context of the chat was. It was in my overall disappointment in the faction I helped build. I will not go into detail here, as it's not the place for it, but I will simply state. Equinox has taken actions beyond measure to prove to myself, Inversion and the server now that they have no intentions of keeping a "colorful" map. Doing that is only if those factions are in alliance and friendly with Equinox. Simply because Inversion attacked Equinox we are now subject to the childish behavior of res killing, ganking, world chat death threats and the assumption that we are allied with Calamity. I spoke up against that, I continue to speak up against player harassment of that nature.
