Another Milestone for Exiled

July 14, 2008 - Just as planned, Clan Exiled has come to take back what’s theirs. After taking Sword City out of Guardians’ hands the previous week, Exiled looks at an attempt at making a PW-PH first: The occupation of three major cities by a single clan. With momentum on their side and little else in their way, it was all just a matter of time, really.

The battle opened with both clans employing the mid-lane rush, with Guardians almost immediately destroying one of the two Exiled mid-lane towers. Well…almost. After having defended the towers, Clan Exiled immediately switched to an all-out offensive, going as deep as it could into the Guardians’ part of the map. With the attackers closing in on their base fast, Guardians launched several attempts at a counter-offensive, sending catapult parties through Lane A of the battlefield, but every single attack was thwarted by The Red Machine’s fixed defense parties, while their offense teams hammered away at the Guardians’ base relentlessly. Like I said earlier, it was all just a matter of time.

So how long was Guardians able to hold on to Beast City? 53 minutes.

Congratulations, Exiled! The first clan ever to occupy three major cities simultaneously in PW-PH! While I think about it, I think it’s pretty safe to say that this may be the first time any clan has done this on any Perfect World server. O_o

My next swig of beer is for YOU!

The Successful Siege of Sword City

July 6, 2008 – Shrugging off the loss of Beast City to Guardians the week before last, Exiled kept its eye on the ball as they geared up for what they crawled up to the north part of the map for: The capture of Sword City. The Red Machine was more than ready when the battlegrounds opened, and fought one of their greatest battles to date.

Unexpectedly though, it was Guardians who set the pace of the battle from the outset, as they went for the mid-lane rush. Having been immediately aware of this, but missing several of its key members (the battlegrounds fill up in a matter of seconds, keeping everybody else who isn’t fast enough outside), there was little else Exiled could do but hold off the Guardians offensive. This went on for the greater part of the battle, as G did their best to keep the clashes as far away from their base as possible and deep into Exiled’s half of the map, so did the Exiled veterans hope to get in the battlefield to be able to fulfill their respective roles. Several counter-offensives were done by the incomplete catapult team, resulting in some damage to the Guardians base, but as they were lacking support and firepower, they were quickly pushed back by G’s defenses. While Guardians fought with heart this time around, the inevitable came when Exiled’s key members were finally able to join the battle. With the catapult team finally complete, and Guardians seemingly not even trying to make changes in their strategy, the hammer dropped on the anvil. And it dropped hard. A few pushes of the cata & strike teams while the remainder of Exiled held off the mid-lane leading into the Guardians base, and BAM! Sword City’s walls were painted red, with 42 minutes remaining on the clock.

So what’s next for Clan Exiled?

Why, the re-taking of Beast City, of course.

T-Shirt Design Contest Winners!

Let us congratulate the winners of the T-Shirt Design contest. It was indeed a close fight but according to the mechanics of the contest, the winner will also be determined by the number of votes. The poll is pretty much clear and so we can announce the winner of the contest.

T-Shirt prize is removed but the Yuan prize is upgraded.

1st Place - Entry #3 - GanTiger - 25 million

2nd Place - Entry #2 - Aldz15 - 10 million

3rd Place - Entry #1 - Mordeth - 5 million

Consolation Prize - JoeyDLeon - 2 million

However, it was indeed a close fight so we cannot rightfully declare which T-Shirt design we will use. There was a suggestion that it should be a mix of both.

Stumbled at First

June 28, 2008 – Like everything else, good things come to an end. Clan Exiled’s winning streak was stopped cold, as Beast City fell in Guardians’ hands. While nobody was certain how it really happened and there were indeed a number of factors that came into play in the 9 a.m. battle, one must admit it was overconfidence that did them in. Although Exiled started out strong and managed to damage the Guardians CB, the latter managed several counter-attacks that Exiled wasn’t able to contain and ultimately ended in a loss of a major city by Clan Exiled, with eleven minutes left on the clock. Instead of having a chat with the higher-ups in the clan, I decided to go to one of the members for opinions/reaction on the defeat, immediately after the battle.

Note: Interviewee wishes to be anonymous, claiming he has enough people hating him & death threats/prank calls, as it is. He wishes to go by the name Mr. B, and I agreed to do whatever it was that turned him on.

Me: Ok, how do you feel?

MrB: Hungry.

Me: Why?

MrB: Beekos…can I answer in my language, flease?

Me: I’m sorry…. Sure, let’s start over. So what do you think was the cause of this loss?

MrB: Madami, eh. Bukod sa kagigising lang ng karamihan,’yung iba walang amulet…’yung iba hindi sumusunod, patay lang ng patay…iba naman hidi na sumipot, dahil siguro ‘kala nila kayang-kaya…kumpiyansa talaga yumari samin. Eh tapos anim pa catapults ng major city attacker…May yosi ka?

Me: Yes, I have cigarettes with me, but we’re online. Anyway…so it was indeed overconfidence on Exiled’s part. Anything you wish to add?

MrB: Magsaya na sila sa Beast City, sandali lang naman sila d’yan. Tamang-tama, ire-renovate kasi ng Exiled ang Sword (City). Ok na rin ako sa pagkatalo, tingin ko pinasarap lang nun ang laban, eh. Hindi naman nila nakuha ng 13 or 15 minutes. Halos tatlong oras nila pinaghirapan ‘yun. Kukunin na ang Tradewind bukas, kaya mag-babay na sila sa mga npc nila sa Sword.

Me: Okayyy. What do you think are the things that will assure your clan’s victory tomorrow?

MrB: P*****inang tanung ‘yan. Parang fajent, ah? Taft ten ba? (laughs) D’yan ka na, bibili ako yosi.

Me: …

Unlucky as I am with every interview, Mr. B may have been able to read the stars right, as Exiled was indeed successful in taking Tradewind Town, the last territory that keeps The Red Machine from Sword City. It was like watching Exiled be their usual selves, unlike Saturday’s battle. Everyone (as far as I could tell anyway) had amulets equipped, followed orders down to the last detail, and moved as one mean, big, devouring monstrosity. Exiled’s initial push resulted in the destruction of five Guardians towers—something nearly impossible to do in a ‘real’ battle. This ultimately sealed Guardians’ fate, as Exiled lunged for the throat and ended their misery with 2h 11min+ remaining on the clock.

It was a pretty convincing victory, and as much as I’d like to do an interview, I decided to lay off of it for a while.
