I don't know what day it is where you are at but we invaded on Wednesday not Monday... hehe

and yeah we do laugh because we got out with 4 gems and all you guys can do is run stand at alsius gate and try and stop us from getting that last gem.

Why not worry about the Gems in your own realm and defending it and less defending alsius for them. Maybe more ppl will come out and stop grinding if they realise they don't have syrtis to protect them.

We may have bickering in our realm but i am proud to say I am ignis because when we want something we all work together to do it. Great teamwork guys.

Leave it out Plat, this sort of thing always sparks off flame wars

Great organization by you guys yet again. You have become an almost unstoppable force.

Now as for protecting or helping Alsius...

Stopping you from getting that last gem prevents you from opening the portal for the millionth time. Considering the enmity you show towards Syrtis and the negative RLM malus Ignis most happily gave us recently, it really is in our best interest to do whatever we can to stop that portal opening. I don't consider it as us helping the goats but rather as helping ourselves.

Unfortunately for us, when you took the Sytris gems, most of our night time defence force had already logged for the night (which is par for the course) so we had too few numbers to defend. So tell me (and this is a rhetorical question), what other choice do we really have to prevent another portal opening?

I'm glad you find your zerg victory over a small force of low level Syrtis players and the few remaining higher levels who were able to stay up insanely late so amusing.

Fact 1: the Syrtis night crew is small compared to the numbers you have on during the same period of time.
Fact 2: many of the Syrtis night crew have other obligations (jobs, school, families) during the day which prevent them from staying up late during the week.
Fact 3: Ignis chose a good time to invade, knowing very well that there would be very little opposition at the gate. Good tactics for you. I notice that you keep using them.

I don't see how you can consider that your victory counts as such a great success since it was done with so little opposition to slow you down. I would think you'd find such one-sided battles unchallenging and dull, but, go ahead, pat yourselves on the back for another job well done anyway.

And don't bother with the snide remarks of Syrtis not putting up a fight to defend their own gems. If there had been enough of us online to defend, you would have seen a defense. Unfortunately, getting a good night's sleep is more important to the majority of the night crew than playing a game. We just don't have the luxury of staying up all night long to defend against the late night Ignis invasions which have become the frustrating norm.

As for the 10 or so of us who helped defend the Alsius gate last night (that was the sum of all the high level players online before I went to bed shortly after the Alsius Gate timer reset to 120minutes), what would you expect us to do? If we can prevent you from opening the portal, that's just common sense. You can call your overpowered zerg teamwork if you want. The real teamwork happened last night when Alsius and Syrtis worked together to prevent you from opening the portal.

@ Fact 1: That's simply not true. If Ignis has more online at those hours on most days, it is not significantly more. When there's an invasion there are more online because they plan to be on then, but at that hour we usually don't have many more players than you do.

@ Fact 2: Noted. The same also applies to the "regular" Ignis night crew (not the invasion zerg).

@ Fact 3: Yep, good tactics. You should use them too. If you felt like planning an invasion, you should probably plan it at the same time as Ignis plans ours, since that is the time ALL realms are weakest.

I do mean this, with no sarcasm or ill-will. I think you should organize an invasion at that time and just see what happens. Unless you're lucky enough to plan it on the same night as Ignis, I really believe you'll stroll through Ignis' gates just as easily as we do through yours.

[Arafails]

My theory is that Ignis is made entirely out of shift workers and jobless bums like myself.
Although, of course, our invasion attempts tend to be just after lunch time, not in the early morning

Just want to reinforce here — Ignis doesn't normally have that many on at these times (trust me, I log on to a more or less empty realm sooooo often, and these are the times when I'm on anyway), invasions at these times are organised. You'll notice our opportunistic invasion attempts when we have a lot on because then actual fighting happens.

Funny thing is that Syrtis can invade us when we have normal numbers on. I've seen it happen. I was the lone barb running back to the gate when a gazillion of you broke through it once, even (gazillion defined as "enough to make my framerate drop to one frame per week" or thereabouts).

That marksman (and the dark elf with the funny hat behind them) looks like the screenshooter has some kind of LoD setting for the player models....

It was a metaphore, "ignis monday morning invasion" almost become a mem in Syrtis. :>

Yes, it was fail. No one responded on our cries to prepare welcome comitee at the gate for us.

However you can't laugh at us that we can't get more gems than you do, if we invade in rush hours and you in dead mornings.

Why not worry about the Gems in your own realm and defending it and less defending alsius for them. Maybe more ppl will come out and stop grinding if they realise they don't have syrtis to protect them.

It is kinda hard to defend something when you sleep like a baby in your bed.

We may have bickering in our realm but i am proud to say I am ignis because when we want something we all work together to do it. Great teamwork guys.

Yes I was even wandering Ignis for a while on my noob char, and indeed your team work and organization is nice. Well it requires orgnization to gather invasion group on "monday mornings". No one denies you that.

Regards.
