Dear Mr Lee.
How do you do?
I am byakko, the guildmaster of Alone100.
We are going to play against your guild in today's guild war.
It is the goal of all guilds on server 100 to advance to the Gold League and to be active as a Gold League guild.
We have the same goal.
We want to fight with all our might and enjoy the game.
However, we only have 20 members and three of them are inactive.
Alone100 does not have the strength to compete on an equal footing in the Gold League.
Alone100's motto is 'a guild where everyone can enjoy the game'.
In order to be promoted to the Gold League and enjoy the game, we need to become more competent.
I and the other members think that we have a long way to go.
I wish you and Liverpool all the best and hope to see you shine again. ... From byakko
With 960 points, we have surpassed our target of 759 points, so we are now confirmed in first place in the Silver League this week.
Tomorrow's promotion match will be against 'Liverpool'.
Liverpool have been weakened by the departure of a number of key members since being promoted to the Gold League, so I think we can beat them if we fight seriously.
However, 'Alone100' only has 20 members, and some members have refused to participate in guild battles, so the actual number of guild champions is 16.
To compete on equal terms in the Gold League, the 20th Guild Champion, Titan Team, must have over 200,000 power.
Even if they win the promotion battle and are promoted to the Gold League, they don't have the power to fight seriously, so they will just be oased, beaten to a pulp and feel miserable.
I play the game for fun, so I don't think it's necessary to stick to the Gold League to have that kind of experience.
So I'm going to blank the main points of defence and lose on purpose.
If you have any objections to this idea, please don't hesitate to raise them.
If anyone wants to go to the Gold League, I will not deny it, even if I accept it.
I have a strong desire to fight in the Gold League.
But I just don't think it's the right time.
However, I want to attack with all my might and enjoy the game.
After the bridge is removed, it will be a free attack, so I would be happy if you could join me as a "test of skill".... from byakko
If you are scheduled to participate in a guild war and are unable to do so due to work or other commitments, please report this in advance to your Guildmaster or General for confirmation.
It is essential that you inform them as soon as possible, but please do so by 15:00 Japan time on the day of the event, as time is needed for registration and preparation of substitutes.
If you are unable to participate in a guild match due to a sudden business trip, illness or accident, please report the reason to the Guildmaster or General at a later date. (This is a game, so please prioritise your real life).
If you miss a guild match without notice, you will be temporarily removed from the Guild Champion list, as there is a possibility that you may be absent for an extended period of time due to illness or accident.
Once we have been contacted and it is confirmed that you are able to compete, you will be re-registered as a Guild Champion.
These are the rules regarding absences from guild matches.
Yesterday's guild match against ВАЛЕЬЯНКА was won by 962 points to 131 points, ranking them first in the Silver League.
However, due to susumumu's absence, we lost 160 points and should have gained 1122 points.
This morning, we received a private message from susumumu apologising.
The content of the message was the same as the apology that susumumu had given to the members in guild chat.
He said that he was unable to participate in the guild competition because he had to work suddenly.
I think that I should give priority to my private life because it is a game, and I tell that to the members on a daily basis.
At 2am, susumumu still hadn't participated in the guild war, so I asked him, "I hope he's not injured or sick, is he alright?" I was concerned.
It can happen to anyone, so it can't be helped.
I could fall ill or injured at any time.
I think it is the same for everyone.
Work in particular is the basis of life, so it's no time for games.
Family and love are more important.
My girlfriend asked me out on a date, but byakko scolded me if I missed the guild game, so I turned her down and things got bad between us." I don't want to be told that.
And if, 20 years later, people think that the reason I am still single is because of byakko, I will be in even more trouble. lol
It is a game and your private life should be your priority.
Guild rules and etiquette are not like Russian or Chinese laws, which are designed to bind members with rules.
The guild exists to maintain order and to make the game more enjoyable, so that everyone can enjoy the game.
One of the greatest strengths of Alone100 is the strength of its cohesion.
We believe that this is nurtured by members caring for each other's position and feelings, recognising each other and forgiving each other.
Alone100 will continue its activities under the motto "A guild where everyone can enjoy the game".
I play Go as a hobby.
I am an amateur 4-dan of the Nihon Ki-in.
Influenced by Shizuka Shirakawa, who was my teacher when I was a student.
Hero Wars is very similar to Go.
There are basic attacking moves (joseki), and victory or defeat is almost decided in a few moves in the early stages, and it is difficult to rewind unless the opponent makes a mistake in a certain way.
Chess is not my forte, but Hero Wars guild warfare is very similar to chess.
Since the creator is a Westerner (Russian), I believe that the game strongly reflects the presence of chess.
The best way to ensure you earn points in Hero Wars is to wait for members with the right power to log in and then attack.
I hate waiting, and I don't like to make members wait.
It hurts me to have to wait half an hour.
As I said before, in order to win Hero Wars, I need to wait for a member with the right power to log in and attack.
I used to ask myself, "How long can I wait?" I've always thought, 'How long can I wait?
That's why I wrote yesterday's blog post, How long can you wait? How long can you wait?
Including the members who gave their opinions in private messages and in the guild chat, we have nine members who have given us their thoughts.
If I and Kirin are added, that's half of the members.
Each member has a different job, education, lifestyle, opinion and way of thinking.
Some members prefer to start early, while others can only attend after 22:00.
However, except for Donar and COCALAR, all the other members are Japanese players, so there are no members who join extremely late, like after midnight.
Donar and COCALAR also join us early in the day.
Considering the various factors, we have summarised the procedure for the smoothest possible guild warfare as the "Guild Warfare Flow".
Although it is not significantly different from the previous procedure, we will follow this procedure for guild warfare from now on.
※All times are based on Japan time.
'Guild warfare flow II'
➀At around 17:50, announce that a guild war is about to take place and inform the players that they will not attack until instructed to do so.
➁At 18:00, we tell our opponents and the members who have logged in since the guild war started that they can report back to us.
The full-scale attack will begin by 19:00.
➂If members with appropriate power log in, depending on the day's strategy, they will be instructed to attack.
If members with appropriate power do not log in, wait until 20:00.
④If no member with appropriate power logs in after 20:00, the strategy is changed and the attack is carried out by the members who are logged in and available to attack.
Depending on the war situation and the log-in status of members, all attack points will generally be designated by 21:00.
⑤ Depending on the war situation and the log-in status of the members, instructions will be given by private message to those members who have not logged in by 22:00.
With this, the guild war instructions are finished.
For more information, read the Guild Blog 'About Guild Warfare'.
It is largely the same as before, but 'If no member with the appropriate power logs in, wait until 20:00.' This is the main difference.
This puts a burden on all members, but it is necessary in order to ensure a certain amount of points, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
If you have any other good ideas or opinions, please do not hesitate to speak up.
Thank you very much for your cooperation. ... from byakko
We won yesterday's guild match against TeamJPN by 1220 points to 620.
Following the result, we are provisionally ranked 3rd in the Gold League. (It's a temporary position...)
Thank you very much.
In yesterday's guild match, Ant attacked the Fountain of Elements 1 at 20:52, without waiting for further instructions, and immediately logged out.
He immediately realised and sent a private message to.
Ant, there is one more turn left to attack. ... I didn't specify another turn in order for you to attack the same point if you couldn't kill it in one turn.
I specified Lighthouse 2, so please attack it when you log in. ... Good luck. ... from the White Tiger".
I waited until 5 a.m., when the guild war ended, but Ant never logged in.
So, in the guild chat, I said.
Good morning.
I was waiting for Ant to come back and attack.
Unfortunately, you didn't come back.
I'm sorry you were mistaken.
It's a pity that the pride of Alone 100, which says that everyone participates in the attack, win or lose, without giving up, has been lost. I have added the message "From the White Tiger".
We were not angry with Ant.
I wrote this message to tell the members that Ant did not attack them and to inspire him.
However, this morning, after 7am, I received a private message from Ant.
I am very sorry that I did something that made you lose your pride. I will be resigning from the guild to prevent this from happening in the future. Thank you for your help." The message said.
I wrote the following message
'Good morning.
You have left the guild.
I am not angry.
Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes you have to be absent due to unforeseen circumstances.
I think it's important to ask, 'How do you recover from a mistake? is important.
I think this is the same in real life.
Ant chose to recover by 'leaving'.
I am working with the stance, "I do not chase after those who leave, and I do not reject those who come".
I don't say, 'Come back'.
But if Ant wants to come back and contact me, I will gladly accept.
Whatever path you choose, I hope you will always enjoy the game. ... from the White Tiger.
However, I could not send my message because I have blocked it.
Ant has always said, "I'm not as good as everyone else, so if I'm a liability, I don't care if I'm expelled." I don't care if I'm expelled.
I said, "Ant, you are an important member of Alone100, so take it easy and enjoy the game in your own way. I said.
I consider both high power and low power members to be knights of the round table and important members of Alone100, just with different roles to play.
I often say, "You don't release a tiger to catch a rat. It's the cat that catches the mouse." But sometimes the right person is in the right place at the right time.
Not only in guild battles, but also in everyday guild activities, such as digging for titanium, adventures and Asgard, the activities of each and every member support the guild.
Even if there is a big difference in level and power now, Hero Wars has a counterstop, so after two years, everyone will be on the same level.
As I always say, Hero Wars is not a game like Monster Hunter, where you build a temporary team to hunt and have fun.
It is a game with a very long time span, where you join a guild, a group like a neighbourhood association, cooperate with its members, level up and compete with other guilds on the same server for years to come.
The winner is the one who continues until the end.
The most important thing is to create a strong bond between people.
As a guildmaster, I am a person who is not good enough, but I do my best to make the guild a place where everyone can enjoy the game.
This time, I could not convey my thoughts to Mr. ANT, and it is very regrettable that he left the guild.
If you have any opinions or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.･･･ From byakko
Good morning, everyone.
Are you enjoying the game?
Yesterday, KEN and Cupid of the Silver League merged and became 10-Dimensions.
This has changed the balance of power in the Silver League slightly, as I estimate that 10-Dimensions is now on par with Sweet-Play and The-Oucasts in terms of overall strength.
Currently, the Silver League consists of nine guilds.
If a guild disappears in the middle of the week, the guild scheduled to play against it will not win the game and will be awarded 1200 points.
Yesterday, a member asked, "White Tiger, what do you think about guild mergers?" I asked him.
I lack the ability to convey my thoughts in short, concise sentences, so I decided to write a blog post about it.
For example, in the early days of the server, when only the preliminary and bronze leagues have been set up, there are guilds with less than 10 members, or guilds with only about 10 members.
At this time of year, it is common for guilds that speak the same language to merge, mainly as a result of discussions between guildmasters.
Guilds are often renamed or use the name of the guild with the most members.
Guildmasters can also be strong players or idle players, and players who do not become guildmasters can settle for being generals and come to an agreement.
In this case, it is a win-win situation for both guilds.
At best, members who were previously able to participate in guild battles will no longer be able to participate in guild battles due to a lower guild ranking.
However, since this is still in the early stages, it is easy to overtake them immediately if they are willing to do so, and since guild members are the biggest rivals, this situation will always continue, no matter how many years pass, so it cannot be called an obstacle.
However, if you merge after the server has matured to a certain extent, many problems arise.
A guild that is on the verge of collapse is a different story, but a guild in the Bronze League or above with normal activity has more than 15 members.
If guilds with 15 members each were to merge with each other, there would be fewer problems, but most would end up with a combined membership of over 30.
'Who do you cut out?' This is the biggest problem with mergers.
Would you say to a top player, "If you are as strong as you are, any guild will let you join right away, just transfer?" Would you say to them?
This is not possible, as the guild is merging in order to strengthen the guild.
Inevitably, the player with the lowest ranking in the guild will be cut off.
They will not be suddenly expelled without question, but they will not join a new guild as a result of discussions.
If you really want to stay, you can stay, but the merger will lower your ranking, and unless you work hard and improve your level, you will not be selected as a guild champion.
You will either have to keep on being a member or leave the guild before you know it.
After spending a certain amount of time in the guild, you will develop an attachment to the guild.
This is the most important feeling for a guild.
I cannot abandon a player who has such a feeling.
I also don't want the other guilds to have sad players or to abandon their members.
Alone100 still has 22 members, but there was a time when we were down to 18.
Several guilds have asked us to merge with them.
However, we refused all of them.
This was because of this.
For the remaining members of the guild, when the guild master changes or when they play with many new members, things often don't go the way they used to, and it is easy for various problems to occur.
The guild ranking fluctuates greatly, so players who used to be able to participate in guild competitions can no longer do so.
This is an incentive to improve the level of the guild, but it doesn't work very well.
When the XX guild and the XX guild merge, the guild is sometimes divided into two factions, with members from the original guilds.
If that is the only problem, then there is no problem, but it may happen that former XX guild members do not participate in the adventures of former XX guild members.
For example, "A former member of the XX Guild has logged out of the guild after having been invited to an adventure." Or, "A former member of the XX guild failed to defeat the boss because he stumbled on the adventure." Or, "A former member of the XX guild waited for two hours because he joined the guild war too late." Even things that would have been laughed off before become criticism of the other party, and discord arises within the guild.
Eventually, the discord in the guild increases and the guild collapses.
I have seen many guilds collapse because of mergers.
A few guilds have even become Gold League champions as a result of mergers.
Mergers involve a great deal of risk.
Unless a guildmaster is very skillful, he cannot lead the guild in a good direction by merging.
I do not have such skill or ability, and I just want to enjoy the game leisurely, and I want the members to enjoy the game leisurely too, so I have no desire to do something that requires a lot of work and effort, such as a merger.
At best, if a guild is about to collapse, we just call out to the members. lol
We don't know how many members were unable to join 10-Dimensions when KEN and Cupid merged.
In KEN, it seems that some members who originally had a lot of problems, such as not taking part in guild fights, were excluded.
I have been in close contact with Shuri, the guildmaster of KEN, and we have participated in relegation battles as reinforcements, so we keep in touch with each other on a daily basis.
I had heard that Shuri-san had been talking about a merger for some time, and although he didn't say which guild he was negotiating with, I didn't ask him, "Where are you negotiating with?" I knew that they were "Cupid", so I was not surprised by the merger.
Yesterday, huurinkazan, a member of Cupid, joined Alone100.
Shuri told us that he had been wondering what to do.
He didn't join 10-Dimensions, but joined Alone100, so I hope he gets used to it quickly and enjoys the game.
On a side note, I would like to ask Shuri if she could tell us about the origin of the guild name. ... I'm studying family names, so I'm very interested in names. ... If you don't mind, I would appreciate it." I asked the following question. I received the following reply.
The guild name "10 Dimensions" means "10 dimensions" in Japanese.
This world was thought to be four-dimensional in time and space, but the latest physics seems to be able to explain it best if it is assumed to be ten-dimensional. (The theory is called 'string theory' or 'superstring theory'.)
I'm not an expert, so I'm just a passive reader, but it is expected to be a grand unified theory that integrates general relativity and quantum mechanics. Matter, force and space can be (or are trying to be) explained by a single measure.
In HeroWars, you expect good combat results through synergy of power values and combinations, but that alone often cannot explain the results. I think that's part of the game's charm.
If the merger of KEN and Cupid could launch a grand unified theory that surpasses (or even includes) the element of luck, that would be really great."
The brilliant woman has a lofty interest even in the origin of the guild's name....
Although huurinkazan has joined the Alone100 members, there are still 21 members and the league ranking is 5th, so we are still in a difficult situation.
However, we are not in a hurry and want to enjoy the game while strengthening our unity under the motto "A guild where everyone can enjoy the game".･･･ From byakko
Thank you.
I hate waiting and making people wait.
Today, members logged in later than usual, so after 19:00, we attacked the bridge with the members who were logged in.
For this, I had Ninofuji and Mercury attack bridge 3, and I let them die in vain.
In the end, Bridge 3 was defeated by Suzaku, who logged in at 19:23.
This had repercussions for me later on, as I made a lot of blunders and was unable to increase my points as much as I wanted to.
If I had been able to direct the game well, I think I would have exceeded 1,000 points.
I am sorry. I'm really sorry.
To be sure of gaining points, you should wait for a member with the right power to log in and then attack.
But to do that, you have to make other members wait.
In the guild I used to be in, I had to wait until midnight for a high-powered foreign member to destroy a bridge.
I didn't like waiting, so I paid a lot of money and became the top player in the guild. At 18:00, I attacked the bridge twice and logged out.
I got stronger, but I couldn't enjoy the game anymore.
So I gave my account to a good friend of mine and retired.
In Alone100, the attack time is set at 19:00, but high-powered members log in comparatively early, so we can start attacking after 18:00, when the guild war starts.
However, this does not always work out conveniently.
. I have a request regarding the Titan defense team.
We have a member on our defense team who is a Super Titan, consisting of three Super Titans, Huperion, Arazi and Eden.
They are good for attacking because of their high offensive power, but they are not suitable for defense.
In my case, I would put Hyperion and Eden in the Flame Titan and remove Vulcan, which has low defensive power.
However, in this case, if one of the Flame Titans is cut down, even if you defend, you will not be able to activate the totem in the next defense battle, which will put you at a disadvantage in the defense.
This is the main reason why three super titans are not suitable for defense.
However, this is true only when all titans are of the same level and power.
For example, if the main Titan is lvl 100 and the three Super Titans are lvl 120, it goes without saying that a team of three Super Titans should be formed.
Please consider these factors when organizing your defense team.
This is a bit of a digression, but I would like to share my personal theory on organizing a Titan team, so please listen to it only as a reference.
Most players will form a team of four Titans of their main attribute, plus a Super Titan of one of the Hyperion, Arazi, or Eden.
Eventually, all titans will reach lvl 120.
However, the skins and artifacts will still be enhanced with priority given to the Super Titans.
Indeed, it is also important to strengthen the Super Titans.
However, I believe that the most important Titan in a Titan team is Sigurd Moloch Angus, the shield of the team.
If the shield is strong, it can protect the whole team and make the Titan team more durable.
It is also recommended that the Titan defense team, no matter what attribute the team is made up of, should be composed mainly of Super Titan Hyperion, because Hyperion is the most powerful Titan team in the world.
Hyperion is the only magic user among the Titans and has a high recovery ability, which improves the team's own defense.
Each player has his or her own preferences and circumstances when it comes to training heroes and titans, so please enjoy the "fun of raising" your beloved heroes and titans as you carefully train them to your liking, while imagining their future image. ･･･ from byakko
Good morning, everyone.
I hope you are enjoying the game.
Yesterday, we won the guild game against "The-Oucasts" with 980 points to 356 points with everyone attacking.
Thank you very much.
With the result, we are provisionally ranked 2nd in the Silver League.
As of yesterday, I had predicted that "Sweet-Play," playing against "KEN" in 9th place, would get a high score and move up to 1st place.
KEN" couldn't overtake the bridge and only got 88 points, but put up a good fight in defense with 960 points.
According to Guild Master Shuri, the members were inspired by my participation as a reinforcement and improved their skills considerably.
What I didn't expect was the performance of "ВАЛЕЬЯНКА", which was ranked No. 1 and won the match against "DESERT-EAGLES" with 1070 points to 648 points.
My friend Kirin, who left the guild after transferring the guildmaster and transferred to the guild on server 99, won the game with an all-attack victory, probably due to a sense of crisis, on the contrary.
The match between "KOREA=KINGDOM" and "NO-BS-JUST-PLAY", which I had paid attention to, was won by "KOREA=KINGDOM" by 980 points to 800 points.
However, the fact that NO-BS-JUST-PLAY, with only 11 members, was able to produce this result can only be described as a "threat.
If they had added 4 members and played with 15 players, they would have won hands down.
The average strength of the current members is probably over "Alone100", and if the number of members increases, we may be defeated.
We renewed our determination not to take it easy.
According to the information I gathered, the guildmaster, Mr. White, is a YouTube star who has been featured on Fanvideo and has been playing Hero Wars for about three years.
He is from an English-speaking country, but he seems to be a hard player who is too serious about the game and doesn't accept any kind of cutting corners or rudeness. (I may be like me...)
We will be playing NO-BS-JUST-PLAY in a guild competition this Thursday.
If the number of members increases to 15, we will have a hard time.
Fighting a strong enemy is the most exciting part of the game, so I am looking forward to it with great excitement.
I would like to make this clear to our members.
If we have more than 20 members who can participate in guild fights, we will aim to promote you to the Gold League.
Even if we are promoted to the Gold League, we may continue to lose day after day because we do not have the ability to fight on equal terms.
However, let's endure it and become stronger.
I have made up my mind.
I hope you will be prepared as well.
Today's guild game is against "Cupid," a Japanese guild.
As a Japanese guild, we have a strong sense of rivalry with them, so we are eager to fight.
We will fight as a united team, attack as a whole and enjoy the game. ･･･From byakko
