Hello Archosaur forums

I miss Narla vs Impulse rivalry, Nemesis vs Elusive/Zulusive wasnt bad either. Who wants to be the new bad guy to provoke this forum alive? =p It kinda sucks we cant keep these forums alive w/o drama but honestly whole server feels sorta dead since nobody dares to say anything to provoke rivalries. Where is the guys with balls or Geos with egos?

Rivalry isnt all bout hating the other or going over the line of bannable offense but what we got going isnt only boring but its fake. Maybe this season will change things, Defiance & Rogue hitting on each other early into season, gonna be interesting to see if few months of TWs are enough to spark rivalries. Oh how I wish TW map only reseted once every year. Seems like it resets once every tear some kid sheds for big kids owning the map.

To me rivalries are clearly good for entertainment, honestly, I used to watch quite a bit of hockey and if you got your favorite sport, what kind of games you watch most? To me it was the rivalries, heck, I even watch el classico on soccer and I aint that big of a fan of soccer. Pretty much only games I watch outside WC, which is in Brazil in half a year but Im derailing. Rivalries are clearly good for entertainment as long as they dont go too far, its understandable to cross the line but its not something one can defend.

Maybe drama was wrong word for it but everybody knows certain people are trashtalked in "private", word really goes around. And its my point bout being fake, there is this need to act "we are all fun and cuddly" so factions wont burn bridges with factors but in fact people are trashtalked on gc "all the time". I just miss the time when people didnt get along and admitted it instead of this fake bs to not burn bridges while in the same time trashtalking said people in private. Bullying isnt something to aim for though, crossing line can be easy but not something that should be accepted.

Summa summarum, I miss the times when our server was more lively and rivalries clearly create that buzz. Going too far can be easy though and its not something I am looking forward to.

Rogue vs Defiance rivalry is too carebear.


WTB more barfights similar to the faction eras Sami mentioned!!!! b:angryb:angryb:angryb:angry

Shut up Meg.

Don't really want people to "hate" each other, or use personal attacks, but I do miss and love a good rivalry that motivates the server to gear up, shut the opposing side up, PK them, etc. It adds flavor to TWs. I look back on some of the goldmine threads in our Archosaur subsection forum and really miss it.

Geo creating thread over youtube video to troll proski and getting trolled back in same manner, raging hard and deleting posts the next morning. At times things went too far, no question bout it but I do miss the times it didnt go too far. 1k apo arguments, god how I miss those.

ROFL! I used to worldchat buying 300 IG's for "tt" and then say "got them, thanks" LOL was great.

Maybe if the people who played on this server grew a pair of balls and stopped fleeing to the current "IT" faction of the quarter, there would be a chance for rivalries to take place.

The first rivalries this server saw were created out of two opposing factions, wanting to prove to themselves, each other and the server that they were the best, in different areas. Gear, teamwork, coordination, structure, tactics, ect.

What the most ironic thing is about the rivalries that existed previous, a few involving Narla versus multiple factions, was that it wasn't about not liking the other faction, or having a grudge (I speak for myself, not for Geo). It was pure sport. Sure, things will be said, actions will be made, and feelings will get hurt, but that is the price you pay for a damn good time b:laugh

Faction leaders lately need to be willing to get their hands dirty, and have a faction willing to back them up no matter what the risk may be.

Good luck with that.

Grow some balls and do something new or challenging for your faction and your members are going to leave in droves. Sad, but true.

In most cases, true. There are a few rare instances where they band together. One could only hope that happens more than we would think.

Metalogue - Archosaur wrote: »

What is this hope you speak of, and can I cash shop it?

His just some level 30BM who doesnt know what his talking bout. You can always order mail-order bride from somewhere called hope and thus buy it with real moneys!

Metalogue - Archosaur wrote: »

I've really gotta stop listening to those level 30 blademasters.

Yup. Nothing but trouble.

Kattanyia - Archosaur wrote: »

For all my carebear whining and QQing over all the drama in the past I would give anything to see some of it come back. Hell, bring back Proski and Geo even.

I would be happy to have WNB trolling me and Rob attacking me about my "dusty panties" (I STILL laugh my a$$ off when I remember that post..EPIC)..and BLOOD and Pro telling me what an idiot I am (which turned out to be true...god I HATE it when BLOOD is right!!!)....b:laugh At least acting like a dumbass brought some added drama and entertainment value which we need back!!!

This next tw season has got to change. Since I don't have any anatomical balls I'll just have to borrow some from one of you guys and see what might be done to shake things up a bit next season. I'm seriously bored as hell right now.

You know, I was right too and not just trolling. As for promoting entertainment? We need faction like impulse/Elusive, faction with PvP oriented players who dgaf if ppl like them or not. People on this server are way too concerned what other people think of them or more like leaders tend to be. I honestly miss the atmosphere of factions, which are usually lead by young adults and are bout beating the others. That creates rivalries and entertainment for everybody.

Honestly, server should of not listened to Blood and his rambles bout fun, it kinda cost us the rivalries with the TW map reset ****. While on short term it was fun, on long term we lost the entertainment. Granted his rambles were only minor part of it if they were part of it at all, far larger is this map reset ****.

Ps. You bored cause you in Supermen, I had fun weekend with closer to 4h of good TW I think.

Alright mudda humpers. Let's get this show on the rode. 'Murica!

b:pleased

BlurrBerri here..uh current guild im in Defiance..What i like about arch well..when i first started playing on this server about a year or so coming from (heavens tear of 5 years) there were really nice people on here that helped alot b:cute , uhm..haven't ever been trolled or anything so its a good feeling hehehe


It is nice seeing you around Canus i remember you when you were like level 80ish in a low level guild when i was level 74 b:laugh

Oh and! TW's are fun and something actually to do in game, then sitting around doing nothing at all

I tend to agree with this view on drama, bar a few exceptions of course. "Drama" is just two people who were passionate about opposing views butting heads. When it's all said and done, you have a beer and more than likely wind up pals out of respect for one another. In other words, he pk's me, I pk him, he says I'm bad, I say he's worse, the fight goes on and before you know it, who the hell cares who 'won' when we both laugh it off and take away a great memory. What this server has seen too much of is: he pk's me, I pk him, he responds by zerging and or immediately CS'ing for better gear to secure an advantage because his ego can't tolerate dieing, and now everybody is bored, standing around asking what happened, hoping and wishing for ...

Is this real tea? That sentiment epitomizes exactly what it means to be an effeminate coward. If you worry about members leaving, they will. Just decide what it is you want to do and go and do the damn thing. While there will always be those who leave, those that stay are the truly supportive ones. Sure, the latter may not have the best gear, but that's the beauty in it that all you new brahs who trace your ancestry dawt com to nemesis/defiance/rogue can't see because you aren't risk takers.

Ps. Yes, Defiance is stronger but imo its been ages since top2 factions have been this close in power. It only lacks the rivalry.

Rivalry is a byproduct of competition, and competition is only created by those who are willing to have it. It doesn't matter how close Defiance and Rogue are now, what matters is what happens if Rogue manages to win one, is Defiance going to accept kattanyia, metalogue, pulseofhell, that one archer with all +12 gear who acts like a phaggot, and whoever else for whatever chitty reason you gave us last time?

"But Rogue would've done the same thing." that mentality has ruined Archosaur. It's a collective action problem, and it's what the sheep practice because they lack the mental fortitude necessary to stick to a worthy standard by which you should hold yourself accountable.

All of Archosaur wrote:

Proski, wait, don't go, stay, we have more we want to ask you. If rivalry isn't the answer, then what is?

Let me tell you a story. The single greatest achievement this server has ever witnessed was Elusive, and not for the reasons you might expect. Elusive broke 5-6 months of absolute nothingness, when it was destined for 5 more because the only remaining factions either: 1) openly colluded by forming a coalition of douchebags with each other (impulse included), so they could all safely secure what income they had up to that point by dictating who bid where as determined by "the council," or 2) were stuck somewhere in the visceral fat of narla, too afraid to bid anywhere and possibly upset the status quo. (immunity, fatalis, etc.)

More, tell us more!

Calm brah. And then one day, 3 years ago, one guy decided to start having fun in the here and now. Gone were the days of hiding in TT/FC for hours, just like all the other sheep who were chasing after empty stats, waiting for an opportunity that was never coming. He had no officers, no money, horrifyingly bad gear, little to no knowledge of the game beyond 90, and not much patience to boot. But he realized the one thing that mattered most.

-on the edge of their seats-

See, it wasn't rivalry that inspired the original Elusives. There was no rivarly at first because there was no competition. What inspired people was this idea that we're all in this thing together. Archosaur's best players, the greatest of the greats, were not the 'best' in traditional terms; they were the best because they realized the value in being a part of a community, and so to it they committed everything they had to the cause of maximally enhancing the greater good, through the selfless sacrifice of time, postponement of gear, levels, and money, all in order to lay down the conditions for genuinely competitive, objectively fun TW's that hundreds of people could have memories about for years to come.

-Elusive, it wasn't a faction, it was a phucking revolution
