But luckily we got leaders who are active, so it took now time at all before shuffle started. This time it was not our own family boss, Papa Smurf, who kicked ball in motion. Instead instructions came from John Mainer, leader of Bunny family. He said that he took over big guns, Brian Kelley should take middle guns and Huijari Peli ended with small guns. Don't know what other two did first, but Huijari emerged in chat and did try hand over work to the current Camp leader... (and I find my name as possible leader? Scary thought that!!) Huijari had no luck there... but other hand, I'm not sure how serious he was. He sometime do complain a lot, and swears by the name of laziness, but at the same time is online in game crazy amount of time.
I wonder if leaders did know this war before it was announced public. Shuffle did star so fast, it did feel like they got plans ready beforehand. Maybe they did, there was two faction wars before, so maybe they got plans ready if there is next one... What if they keep track all clans all the time? That would be crazy amount of work, even if they concentrate only clans that are close to their own clans average. Talking about no life there...
New “old” leaders were inviting Smurfs through whole clan family, and Bunnies in their clan family. Also Black Company, Myth and Legend, 13th Black Cat, Fighting Furies of Mythic Doom and Knights of Vengeance was mentioned. Some I did know before, but most were new names. Player count in my clan increased by little jerks. Nothing moved, then came bunch of players and then again nothing moved. Again there was complains in chat from Huijari, something about Zombie Smurfs that won't move. And update how many players he had, how many was invited but not moved yet. Sounded little worried... wonder why, there is still week before lock down.
Happy happy, joy joy, Mech Sale, happy happy, joy joy!
This was what I was waiting for. I can get new Keradon and there is almost enough time to upgrade it before war. Almost, but not quite, need spend little when war is closer... only if there would be equipment sale too before that. Got just enough niodes to fill my new toy... was so tempted to buy two Keradons, but then I would be forced to use crystal equipment. And if there is equipment sale first, then I can use what niodes is left to update my mech... maybe it will be fully upgraded before first round. But if not, it will be close enough that I can use it.
More complains from Huijari in chat. Still missing players. Something about new invites and people who asked to join. If those numbers were realistic, we could end clan with 80 or more players... I do wonder what happen those who don't fit in because of that 60 player maximum. Will there be kicking out that “better” ones can come in... If leaders rank clans all the time, probably they do that to players too... so there could be some sort dream team list somewhere. This is starting to sound more and more what I have heard about RND. Maybe all leaders are little “something” in the head...
Upgrade sale! Now? Talk about wrong order. This need calculating. If equip sale will come, and is maybe 15%, then cost of needed stuff is that... so I can use this much to upgrades. Ah, there is at least one circuit before, so that's one upgrade more... could I sell some weapons? Darn, did that before that misfired Nephi hunt. Maybe sale continue long enough, so kotm have time to end and I could sell loot from there. Would be so tempted if niode sale would start now...
No new players in clan? Still missing 8 players, so can't register... What is taking so long? Big and middle clan looks like ready to go, I do wonder if they are locked already. New list from Huijari, still same players who haven't moved. I did even check kotm, if I could help, but all in there seems to be in some clan already... This sounds a lot at that kinda situation, when one can be tempted to make alt. Or two. Faction of One. Really no life solution...
Well, what happen will happen. Time to upgrade as far as I can and make specialist ready. Again. No new slots in base, but at least got new weapons to use, and couple equipment to try. Need to trust to the leader that we will go in the war.
Registration is active! Finally!Oh, more bunnies. Kinda big when compared to rest of us... well those gonna take full load of points for us, if they can't then nobody else can either. But this was relief, we can go war. I think this mean that all invited were zombies, and those bunnies were our last hope to fill clan. Ah, now there is advantage warning about lock down for war. Countdown is started, less than day left. I do wonder how many would show up any more...
Morning. Yes, clan is locked. Small Bouncing Faction is completed and on it's way to the war. Count is 57 players. If I read chat right, there was few last second entry to the clan, and I bet there will be some who remember too late that there was something they needed to do. But I'm in and even got specialist to do, now to make that as strong as I possible could. Still hoping that equipment sale, would help a lot... as would upgrade sale helped, if it had continued one day more... well, at least I'm get mechs fully upgraded and ready in second round.
But big thanks to all leaders who made this possible, and to all other people who worked too to make this happen. Our group got three factions in working condition, and amongst them is Small Bouncing Faction, newly born clan, who's first and probably last trial is this war. How do we fare? It's up to us, and that entity called Luck, but we are ready to make our Clan proud of us... or we could blame leader if everything else fails.
