Oh Baby Baby, we did it again!

[CharGar]

"sung in my best Britney spears voice"    Anyways, Siege has done it again. We beat the void pool record held by Asuka.  255 waves completed this time.  Thanks to all the non Gilfane folks that participated.

The Void Pool

SIEGE PERILOUS had held a record for the number of waves completed for a very long time, a record that was not broken until last year on Asuka Shard, 11-23-15 a record breaking number of waves set was 252. 

Today players of Siege took that record back.  Siege Perilous is a melting pot of players from all over and having a date and a time that would work for all of these players was the first bump in the night to cross.  Then there was the fact that there were players that might try to sabotage this event and use it to raid the players that were conducting this event in Covetous.  Being that Siege is set in a Felucca rule set, this was something that could have been done very easily.

Steps were taken to ensure that this event was kept a secret from most PvP players and guilds.  A date was posted on an open forum for such a event but canceled as it would invite those they did not wish to attend, that was the reason given but in secret they planned, private chats, messages in guild and alliance.

Skilled crafters, (in secret) made weapons, suits, jewelry for individuals that were to participate in this event.  Individuals worked very hard training skills to meet the requirements for this event.  A date was picked and a time was set for all to meet.

O dark thirty, today, they met.  Most were from GIL, but there was several trusted players from other guilds, all alliance members.  Parties were made up, breaking them down with Tamers, Archers, Mages, Bards, Crafters.  Extra bandaids, arrows, potions, orange leaf were made available for all.

Once ready a gate was open for Covetous and all quickly moved into the choke area where they would take their stand.  Tamers and dragons out front, mages and bards and archers behind them.  For hours they battle, none taking any long breaks, a quick run for a drink, or a nature call.  All snacking, if dinner was called, where they were, we did not notice as they remained on station with all the rest.

Sometime around nine hours they finally hit the count of the waves where they could say “We did it, the record was ours once more”.  255 waves!!!

I'm ecstatic!  YAY!  I'm so proud of all of you!!!!!!!  I wish I could have been there.  I was in an airplane almost all day, two different flights, or I would have been overjoyed to help.  I'm glad I got to be there for the first time Siege got the record.

Congratulations, Siege!

[Wolfman]

Yes, congrats to us!

And what I enjoyed most: Necro-Mage-Myst seems to be the "hot-template" now (top 4 point achievers).
Don't get me wrong, every peace bard, every tamer and every crafter with us was responsible for this record as the top damagers, but it seemed a one way road: Increse the number of archers/throwers and you have a chance of doing it quicker/better.

This new template idea and aproach realy made me smile.....and I gladly take 5th place!

Again to all of us who participated: Job well done!

*starts looking for the next challenge*

[Hoffs]

Congratulations to all involved, a fantastic achievement. And I think that everyone who took part stuck it out until the very end. You are all clearly insane but I salute you nevertheless. o7

Indeed, it was a great effort by all. and apparently i did fall asleep for some period of time as you can see by the picture below. i missed out on 5 of the waves. regardless of my slacking it was an awesome accomplishment and I thank you for the great time.

[CharGar]

^^^^^^^  omg that's so funny!

[kelmo]

Well done. You make Siege PR easy. Thank you.

[Aislin/Litha]

You are all clearly insane but I salute you nevertheless.

Just following the excellent example of our leader..... 

[Sarah]

That was so exhausting! I am getting old! I sure hope they do NOT beat us again. *smiles*

(of course if they do...I will be front and center....killing waves...up to ...300!)

[Hoffs]

Still no banner or recognition for Siege I see. Looks like we have been forgotten again. I assume Asuka still has their one up?

[Nonel]

Let's steal it!

They do have their shard shield above the entrance to the 2nd level at Covetous in tram.

Its funny that it took 149 players, yes it was trammel, but we did it with far few folks, there should have been some sort of word regarding this.

There is a small plaque on the wall of the tinker shop behind the West Brit. bank by the moongate.
I don't think we got a banner.
