the 666 teamspeak is going to be the real nerve center of the NC fight,there are just too many of us old NC guys that actually know how to run an event from Markov playing on Connery to let some stranger get us all wiped out due to a lack of any sort of ability to lead ppl in a game that he doesn't really play.

the 3 hour timeframe is way too short too,just as you get your rhythm(?) the event will be over.

When you mean "us" do you mean the 666th in particular? Or perhaps the NC? I know you aren't talking about Hostile Takeover

I think EvilPig is a decent guy but time and time again the 666th on Connery have proven a couple things:

1) They spend an awful lot of time in the warpgate doing nothing
2) They spend an awful lot of time outside of the warpgate achieving nothing

People can play this game the way they want to, no problem. Outfits are also obviously free to choose what they deem a successful op, or a fun night of playing but from Day 1 of Connery I've yet to hear (until the recent smooching between CCG & DD, which is a good thing to be honest) anyone say, "Man, thank God the Devil Dogs are here."

We do with 20 what the Devil Dogs can't get done with a full platoon - time and time again.

The entire event is gonna be a PR nightmare. Why haven't the rules been released? I can only imagine because of marketing that SOE is going to lock the event to Indar and it will involve The Crown or something similar because it will show the most explosions for their live stream.

I wanted to go to the live event but I'm gonna go online instead and make sure my outfit Hostile Takeover makes this event a pain in the ass for all the TR & Vanu involved. Fuck the idea of winning, we just wanna make people groan.

And Sarge you should know better than anyone, strength in numbers is only an illusion; zergs always follow the path of least resistance. Sure, you throw 2 Platoons @ Rashnu against 15 people and you'll get it. Fine, we'll do something else on the perimeter to keep you moving and spread out and getting pissed off. It's how us smaller outfits roll.

Besides, the best big large outfits on Connery are TRG and whatever alliance they have cooked up. I honestly don't think 666th and CCG can stand up to what level of organization TRG has to make a big enough difference. The Vanu can get organized into large Scythe & Mag swarms but those are easy to deal with - TRG come with everything.
