June 15, 2008 - It has been a hectic weekend for Exiled, as they fought three major battles in three days against two of Tiger Server’s biggest and most experienced clans; Fidelis and the Tiger Server Juggernaut, the Guardians.
First off was the defense of Weak Water territory against Fidelis, whose ranks as we all know, have been recently reinforced by Decima. While the threat of losing Weak Water was real, TheDoctor decided to use this opportunity to work on different war formations with his officers. This resulted in both sides taking offensive stances. Apparently, the said experiments went well for Exiled; an hour and thirty-four minutes later, Fidelis’
Saturday’s battle was something that the entire server has been looking forward to in a long time. The air was thick with tension, as all eyes of Tiger were on this face-off between Exiled and Guardians. Everybody expected the clash to be of epic proportions, and it really was—albeit short-lived. Everything started out in a flurry. It was a fast-paced exchange of offensives, as waves upon waves from each side tried to push each other’s forces back into their half of the battle map; something that Guardians almost succeeded in doing. The sheer might of their forces was indeed overwhelming. Be it luck, or be it something else, Exiled’s last effort at a push was something that Guardians wasn’t able to repel, and ended up all the way to the Guardians CB. All this action happened within the 51 intense minutes that the battle took.
A lazy Sunday afternoon’s silence has been shattered with another match against Fidelis, which Exiled anticipated to be even bloodier than the recent battles with this formidable clan. This notion was proven wrong however, when an apparent miscommunication (this author refuses to call it incompetence) between Fidelis members caused them to fail to build towers along the middle lane—a failure Exiled immediately took advantage of, as their catapults breezed beyond the tower spots and all the way into the heart of the Fidelis base. The battle was over within twenty minutes.
Needless to say, Clan Exiled members and officers alike expressed great satisfaction in the results of their efforts.
“More than anything, it’s the cooperation among members and their compliance with the officers’ commands that played major factors in our success. If this keeps up, there’s little we could not overcome in the battles ahead of us,” Major XiaoLyn said in a separate interview.
As of this writing, Fidelis—long considered to be a major threat to Exiled’s interests, is no more. Former members are scattered and have been sighted being either clanless or under new banners. The handful of members left to them could do little or nothing on their own. The threat that was Fidelis is now broken, and this writer is excited as to what Clan Exiled’s next move will be.
