    Most populous: SL
    Next in line: CoM
    Shakey at best: Minax and TB

    I'm in TB and will be as long as I remain in factions but I don't really know when I'll be actively fielding again. Probably not for some time. You can check with amfeKk or Pax Romain for status in there. They roll with CoM sometimes to fight the SL juggernaut as well I think.

    TB and Minax.

    What they need is new leaders - people that aren't poisoned and bitter and allied with the other factions. Someone that has some pride and plans to fight three enemy factions and not one. The thing where everyone is bumbling with three factions worth of oranges and blues on their tamers that can't heal each other and won't come out of a house thing just hasn't worked and isn't working. It's terribly myopic.

    what I told another player:

    what I think you should do is join a faction and not get indoctrinated. Walk into it and know you're going to get ganked and it won't be fair. Know that you'll be res killed and trash talked at times. Don't be afraid to avoid a fight because it doesn't look winnable. But that's not a reason to run to irc and vent about it. Instead scout thoroughly and plot ways to win fights. Trick your opponents into running into traps. Play dirty because it's war and your opponent will be doing everything he can to win. Instead of making it your goal to convince people you are good and compare yourself to others- make it your goal to get a kill and survive.

    GL and welcome

    lol, talk about poisoned and bitter. Keep encouraging new players to join empty factions. It's really going to help you get more of those 'good' fights you enjoy where there's no chance of loss. lol


    Also, don't play dirty. That's kid stuff. Leave that for those too high on themselves to take a loss when a loss is coming.

    Well that's entirely subjective based on situation and skill level.

    I would like to dedicate time to building TB back up but I'm afraid for every new orange SL sees there will be a new tamer recruited.

    Are we moving directly into fear mongering? I thought there'd at least be a little bit of constructive conversation first.

    That's simply not true. But I suppose you're not on the field much to see that. I have even faught many fights against Com as of late where they used several tamers while we faught with none. At this point you're just making up excuses for your inadequacy as a leader.

    I'm not going to turn this into another flame-trash talk faction thread. We all know the issues with factions.

    Yeah. Bitter and beaten people expressly trying to discourage new people from entering the system. Why not just drop out of factions if you're so beaten? You can always rejoin when you find another zerg to ride.

    Rocko if you and your buddy are looking for people to fight alongside or just pvp. Log into Blaise's mumble and please have a mic for communication. Most users in that voice are willing to help and fight. I'm in there but as of late my time is going to be limited to the pm and weekends. Pm me on irc as well.

    Guy asks which faction to join.

    Guy watches it all devolve into shit-talk.

    That pretty much sums Factions up.

    Yeah, your faction k/d clearly reflects that.
