World War S
GBG has always been a battlefield, but GvG has remained a mostly peaceful affair, partly due to all the spare land given how new Sinerania is... until now. The conflict between Synergy Factor (SF) and Terrain Titans (TT) has finally spilled over from GBG into GvG. The War has started, but what happens to the other guilds is still a question. Will Last Stand (LS) maintain their alliance with TT and support them? Will Shadow Realm (SA/ST) side with SF? What about the (so far) neutral powers like New Republic (NR)?
This is meant to be a continually updating timeline of events, rather than a single article as such. I've started it fairly bare bones, as there is a lot I either don't know or cannot remember, so if something is missing or wrong, please let me know and I will update it.
The Main Guilds
Synergy Factor (SF)
Terrain Titans (TT)
Last Stand (LS)
Shadow Realm (SA/ST) - formed from a merger between The Pirate Ship (TPS) and Wolf Spirit (WS), WS coming from a merger between WS and 12Monkey (12M).
New Republic (NR)
Pre-GBG
- SF are the top guild with several top players.
- Other guilds like MoM, TT, etc. typically have one high ranked player.
- Others like WS, LS etc. have none.
- GvG is more or less SF taking a substantial lead, guilds with a single big player play second fiddle.
- Over time TT takes a clear 2nd place ahead of the rest with a truce between them and SF in GvG.
GBG Round 1
(I don't know much about what happened here, I think SF had a deal with LS maybe?) SF wins.
GBG Round 2
(Still don't know much about this one) SF wins again.
GBG Round 3
SF > WS > TT > ? > ?.
- The first three guilds all start strong, but SF are ahead.
- TT try to go easy on WS to entice them into fighting SF as a natural enemy. WS instead takes advantage and claims 2nd.
GBG Round 4
SF > LS > WS > NR > TPS.
- SF and LS have a truce, leaving (mostly) WS fighting SF and NR fighting LS.
- The truce collapses, but the ranks stay more or less the same.
GBG Round 5
TT > LS > SF, GO, HLV
- TT and LS alliance first comes into effect and they use it to finally beat SF.
GBG Round 6
TT > LS > NR > KIS > SF
- The alliance continues and this time they push SF back to their home base and SF doesn't try to continue fighting.
GBG Round 7
TT > SA > SF > LS > ST
- WS and TPS merge to make the split guild SA and ST and make a return to platinum.
- TT/LS alliance continues but LS underperforms.
- TT still dominate, but some ground is made by others. - SA/SF form a tentative deal in the second half.
Between Rounds
- Sierra Sola from TT, LT.Death from LS and others leave to join SF.
- With Sierra Sola on board, SF go to war in GVG against TT with limited effective resistence.
- SF gain 1817 prestige from GVG and TT lose 3736 on the first day.
- SA/ST form an alliance with SF, putting them at war with TT and LS.
GBG Round 8
SF > SA > TT > NASA > NR
- Looks like it will be TT, SA, NR, SF, NASA at the moment.
- The SF/SA alliance takes an early lead, largely penning TT in, although with fierce resistance.
- 1st phase involves SF and SA with easy 1-2 and the rest fighting for third.
- 2nd phase has TT breaking out and securing 3rd place.
- 3rd phase sees SF and SA back right off with NASA and NR fighting right to the end for 4th.
Between Rounds
- Many more player moves including a huge exodus from TT with several key figures leaving after in-fighting and other issues.
GBG Round 9
- For the first time in S we have 6 platinum guilds, and importantly all four of the main warring guilds together.
- A resurgent LS with a weakened TT face off against SF and SA with Phoenix and Solo Smugglers in the mix.
Full disclosure, I am one of the leaders in Shadow Realm (SA), so I do have a bias in this, but will do my best to report as factually as possible.
