A city for a day

[safira]

Hello dear guildies,

We are going to try a new sort of 'monthly event' with the alliance.

All guilds have agreed on not donating luxon faction to the alliance untill a donate day is called (once per month). If all alliance members donate at the same day we will create a donation-spike, possibly gaining as much faction as required to own a city.

Like that, the alliance can own a city for 1 or 2 days each month allowing us to buy all stuff from merchants at 20% discount during these days.

If you can't donate at the called day, please hold your faction till the next called day (each month will see 1 day called).
Likewise, if you have a full faction bar and you want to farm more, you can ofc donate a bit at other days, farm more and donate a full bar on the called donate-day.

Please also keep in mind that this is not mandatory and just a try. No guild is required to donate (taxed).
It will just be fun (and beneficial) if we can do it and no shame but a nice try if we fail ;-).

The donation day will be announced in this thread as long as we want to keep doing this event.

Please check this post/guild announcement again at this day, because the date may change due to the changing border between luxon and kurzick area!

I like the idea, but i want to stress to everyone there is no obligation, this is no FFF (fast faction farming). Just if you happen to have some Luxon points, try to keep them and donate/deposit them at the given date. Personally i'll try to max the faction before the date and i'm anxious to see if we 'get a town for a day'. I hope you share, but absolutely no problem if you can't or don't want to do it.
Best regards, Hans

I'm very sorry Tim and I won't be able to contribute (and share the benefits if you guys are able to aquire an outpost for a day of course). But we'll be there if we decide to continue with this event in the future. I think it's a lovely idea for guildies to do things together and as Merijn and Hans already stressed out, there's no obligation and no fast faction farming. It's just about doing regular things, squishing Luxon areas, maybe some AB, JQ or FA if anyone enjoys that. Our guild is not into things like speed clears or PvP anyway, so it's all about fun and hanging out.
So good luck and have fun everybody.

Yes indeed it is not a FFF and no1 is ever required to donate. Neither of us TLSsies would ever have agreed on this event if there was an obligation attached to it. Im glad that this is underlined a couple of times .

Does it matter what time on the 18th?

[safira]

yes, you have to donate at 3 o'clock in the morning.

No seriously ; every guild's faction decays by 10% every 24 hours at midnight GMT. So the time of donation should be somewhere in between past midnight GMT the day before and before midnight GMT at the day itself.

Ideally, donate in the afternoon or early evening so we can reap some of the benefits of controlling the outpost. The decay can take the outpost away from us even at midnight of the same day.

I think that went fairly well, we seemed to have several cities across the day, even with my pitiful donation.

And I had to do a luxon mission so the stupid faction 'computer says no' would speak to me and let me donate!

[safira]

Yes it went very well .

many people in the alliance do want to give it another try (in fact the idea was to try it once a month on average).

Also see the pics Sven (Hans' son) has posted:
theforum2006.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=images&action=display&thread=301&page=1.

Rinus has set a new date at [glow=red,2,300]to be announced soon but it is cancelled for the moment due to high factions everywhere (+/- 7M to take an outpost)[/glow]for another spike. The hope and reason for this date, is that it is after CNY and factions of the owning guilds of any towns are probably low so more easy to conquer.

So the same as last time: If you want, please save your Luxon faction till this date and then donate . And maybe we can buy them lockpicks again for 20% off .

Best regards,
Merijn/Safira/Niobe

Pls be informed that the spike day has been cancelled due to high factions everywhere (+/- 7M to take an outpost), but we hope to set a new day soon, when factions are lower ^^.

[moonchild]

Do you know if this guild (I mean alliance of course!) plans anything similar?

[katya]

I don't think so, Moon.

[moonchild]

Well what about if our guild just announced it?

Could TLS generate enough faction to briefly get a city? Especially given the low player levels atm.

I know I am rarely on......

[Zerk]

Hmmm, we could if wer really good and faction requirements are not more then 3M factions as it was when AVE owned a city. We'll have to keep and eye on the outposts and talk to at least 1 more guild about it.

[safira]

When we did it in our old alliance we needed around 4M factions. So that's the only thing you 'll need to 'worry' about, how much people do you need together farming to get to that amount.

Fairly easy matter of maths but getting enough players together for it is just another thing ;-). I don't think I can contribute a lot to it this time either. Too busy playing another game that takes a bit longer than I expected...and grabbed me so that I MUST play because I want to win! So hf and gl with it if you go for it.
