Horus Alsius Organization

[Brother-brian]

I am posting this because it is clear to me, after months of playing as a full-blooded Alsian (i.e. no syrtis/ignis alts), that we desperately need more organization in virtually all WZ activities.

Home Forts:
defending
re-capturing

Enemy Forts:
capturing
defending

Home/Enemy Castle:
(re)capturing
defending

Bridges:
defending

Realm Gates:
defending

Enemy Gates:
attacking

Universal Regroup Spots

Home Invasion Procedure

Enemy Invasion Procedure

Gem Defense Procedures

etc.

I can't remember who, but someone began posting detailed lessons on several of these aspects. It was a great start.

I specify Alsius because it seems that, while we CAN be a real whoop-@$$ realm when we wanna be, we usually aren't. We are an underpopulated realm, but probably have the highest number of Clans, lol. We seem to be a realm of individualists, who all want to do what they want, rather than go along with a tactical strategy that is likely to bring victory, if everyone cooperates.

But there is really no way to enforce such strategy, and there should be no need for "enforcement". Only people who are willing to help are going to help, period.

So, what I think is called for is some kind of "training" aspect for lower level players, before they really get to WZ level. If everyone knew what to do before they got there, then no one would have to try to convince anyone of what to do WHILE we are being invaded. I would start this myself, but, as I am currently only level 46 on both of my chars, and I dont have the WZ expereince that some of yall have, I am unqualified by myself to do this. But I am willing to dedicate some time to this, so maybe all that is needed is to help feed info to me on these subjects.

What I suggest is perhaps a series of threads dedicated to specific WZ subjects, like the list above (which is not complete, btw).

Also, I am thinking of a special "WZ Training" class to be held in the Coliseum, specifically for lower levels that are not yet really "WZ" ready. Something in which they can try out different spellbook setups, different powers, get a feel for casting times, practice against single opponents and multiple, things like that. It would require some time dedication, as well as keeping the trainer(s) out of the WZ during "class" time. BUt I think the payoff would be HUGE, in a regular cycle of newer players that were more WZ competent than many of the players we have now. We would wind up being more organized, and there would be more respect for all those high-level players that contributed in some way to the training, which breeds loyalty to the WZ leaders, and the the realm in general.

There could even be a clan for it, (Alsian WZ Trainee) or something. Something to graduate from, before going into another clan.

Anyway, what do the rest of my Alsian bros think?
