Flash News : Week 4

Every week Samael News will inform it's readers about the lastest news of the server in the weekly rubric 'Flash news'. 

Read Samael News every monday to know what's going on!

• Different guilds added their political campaign promotion posts at the begining of this week: <WhiteLotus>, <Darkness>, <Insane>, <Rigor Mortis>, <Soul Eater>, <Outlaw> and <Exiled>. For more information concerning the evolution of the Elections, please check our Election Daily Report.

•  22-05-12, <Whitestar> organised a small event to promote their guild before the election: "Meet our pirates". Different guilds joined <Whitestar> in Cutthroat Harbour and had some fun fighting each other in friendly duels. Some members of <The Crimson Eye>, <Divine>, <Nerf>, <Innocent>, Verex <Darkness>, Justiice <Vehement>(he changed guild again) and Glen <Outlaw> was present. <Bad Manner> also participated, unfortunately one of their member, Angry, had stocked too much infamy and died several times before people understood he wasn't there to grief the party.

• Meanwhile, <Elin Dance Squad>, <Malectum>, and Code, leader of <Insane> had their daily show on Velika's Stairs.

•  23-05-12, after a extended maintenance, players could finally elect the future Vanarch of their choice. Code <Insane> is leading in Arun, Mikichi <Elin Dance Squad> in North Shara, and Magister <Darkness> in South Shara. We are surprised that Ironman and his guild didn't register for the election. For more details about elections, please read our Election Daily Reports.

•  26-05-12: A new pleague is ravaging Arcadia. Name is Bruna, a female Aman Archer who decided to follow Akanee's path. Perhaps it's the same player, considering his comments in the area chat attempting to provoke the poor players trying to level their character: "HEADSHOT". Different high level decided to take measures against him. We met in Cresentia, Potato <Tangra> on his alt, Kat <Outlaw> and Karneelya <Whitestar>for example.

• We can follow a new argument in the Samael forum, between the guild <Exiled> and the guild <Hentaï Pornstar>. For that we need to go back in time, when <Exiled> and <Hentaï Pornstar> had a guild wars against each other. Araella, one officer from <Hentaï Pornstar> had infiltrated <Exiled> with his character Llia and had been accused to be feeding his main guild. The character named Illya had been seen killed seven time in a row, doing nothing, in front of Lumbertown. But this Illiya claim <Hentai Pornstar>, doesn't belong to their guild.
• Sunni's reaction : I don't like our guild being accused of things that never happened. The person he accused of feeding isn't in our guild or associated with us, it's just non sense. We planted a person in their guild to find the locations of their members, we were ahead by 10 points in the war anyway, it was just as we wanted some pvp action.
• Alek's reaction (co leader of <Exiled>) : Well we are not trying to make HP looking bad by making said accusation. the arguement was a result of HP officer, Araella, doubting Kittycats promises to keep PVP enabled because of our previous GvG history.During that GvG we had an unpleasant experience as some of our member was killed repeatedly by HP members? Some even admitted their feeding in our guild chat before leaving, wich is the reason of our dislike in HP. We 're not accusing the HP staff for planning this, we are just saying one or more of their members feeded. Araella's input seem to be based on hisability to make convincing post based on nothing.

Sunday 27-05-12


Ranking are very stable, both in the top 5, or lower in the ranks. Divine has still not managed to get into the top 5 of South Shara, despite all their effort. Exiled had been dethroned by Honor Bound today for Sylvanoth Area, but we know that both guild are competiting very closely,  it's certainly not a secured victory.

2.Tangra -Deathie (Val Elenium)
3.Hentai Pornstar - Sunni (Westonia)
4. Viking of Midgard - Brutusbrutal (Val Parada)
5. Trollface - Priest (Essenia)

Paralysis <PRIME> comments : Even though the elections are not in our favor at the moment, I'm sure the Elected Vanarchs will do a great job. And that we look forward to representing the community in the next round!



North Shara

1. Elin Dance Squad - Mikichi (Lorcada)
2. Malectum - Milfurd (Helkan District)
3. The Crimson Eye - Sylver (Val Tirkai)
4. Outlaw - Sam  (Val Kaeli)
5. Honor Bound - (Sylvanoth)

Mikichi <Elin Dance Squad> comments : I think we have been going very well for the past few days, even though some victories seem to be secured already, there are still many days left and anything can happen during those next few days.



Arun

1. Insane - Code (Ostgarath)
2. Soul Eater - Neal (Poporia)
3. Whitestar- Acharial (Arcadia)
4. Rigor Mortis - Torztomp (Val Aureum)
5.   Big Eyes Small Mouth - Chobits (Isle of Dawn)

Acharial <Whitestar> comments : It’s nice to see all guilds working hard for their campaigns even when the votes seem to have settled down. I’m personally very happy about Whitestar’s standing in the current election and wish you all out there a big good luck and thank you for voting for us so far.

GvG report

    Hello Samael players!
    Another week behind us and here is another GvG report! As usual, remember that those numbers apply to wars finished between 3rd of May, past 14:13 and 28th of May, 12:55.

    Until now, 748 times guilds clashed with each other! Situation is still changing, although the leaders still remain on their positions! New guilds are starting to participate and we are more than happy to see this will to fight in our players.
    Once again, I have updated the statistics. Below you can see the most active guilds in GvG so far:

• Darkness - 63 wars
• Overpower - 46 wars
• Outer Heaven - 38 wars
• Trollface - 37 wars
• Tangra - 35 wars
• Malectum - 33 wars
• Divium Furor - 32 wars
• Bad Manner - 31 wars
• Insane - 29 wars
• Vehement - 29 wars
• Honor Bound - 26 wars
• Titans - 23 wars
• Outlaw - 21 wars
• Vikings of Midgar - 21 wars
• Crimson Knights - 20 wars
• White Lotus - 20 wars

    Mostly the same names as in the last week, just with increasing numbers next to them.
    It would not be a complete report without our favourite rankings! The most succesful and the most unsuccesful guilds on Samael are:

Highest Win-Loss ratio:

1.	Bad Manner	31
2.	Overpower	20
3.	Outer Heaven	16
4.	Divium Furor, Honor Bound	15
5.	Elin Dance Squad	14
6.	Innocent	13
7.	Vehement	12
8.	Hentai Pornstars	11
9.	Nerf	9

Lowest Win-Loss ratio:

1.	Darkness	-38
2.	Insane	-16
3.	Trollface	-14
4.	Vikings of Midgard	-13
5.	White Lotus	-11
6.	Crimson Knights	-10
7.	Astrolabium, Sisu	-7
8.	Force, Imperium	-6
9.	Elysium	-5

(as always, numbers next to the name indicate amount of win-loss-surrender)

    As we may see, leaders of both rankings are still on the first position! Bad Manner stays unbeatable and Darkness is holding their spot firmly... We know the first position is something special but maybe it is the time to show us a really epic comeback, Darkness?
As for the highest ratio ranking, Overpower was fighting extremely well in the past week, showing us few consecutive 3x victories, making them jump 2 positions up. Same situation with Divium Furor, performing really good aswel, losing recently to our new rising star - Nerf. Outer Heaven and Honor Bound still high in the ladder too. We could also see increased activity among little Elins, which secured them fifth position - are they trying to detronize the leader after their last dispute? We are looking forward to the next week battles!

Let's take a look on the other list: most of the guilds, except Astrolabium, were here in the previous week too. When updating the list, I noticed one thing - Vikings of Midgard are not fighting lately as vikings should, ie. surrendering a lot. We hope that you will show us a true northern spirit in the upcoming time, guys!

    Leaders of the first ranking, congratulations! The rest - fight hard to disappear from the second one!

    As I have noticed, last report started some fierce discussion in the comments. I am happy that you guys enjoy the read, please keep a certain level when discussing though ;).

    Remember, if you are a witness of a GvG fight, you have some interesting info on some disputes, alliances - leave a comment, send a mail or poke one of us in-game. See you next week!

Question of the week

Every week, you will find in Samael News the « Question of the week », asked directly in game by one of our reporters to players selected by chance.

Why did you cast your vote on the guild you voted on?

Killerchild
Elin Sorcerer <guildless>
 I voted for a guild of wich I never heard something bad, and never seen it spaming of chat.





Bastien,

Castanic Berserker  <guildless>

 To be completly honnest, because it had a lot of recommendations, read what it had to offer, and it sounded, well, sufficient.

Pseude

Human Archer from  <Existance>  :

I saw their add on the forum. I'm also quite familiar with their face in game.

Malcheesar 

Human Warrior from <Triallion>  : 

Well, i haven't really voted for a Vanarch yet, as I'm quite new to this game. The political system seems like a fun and motivating system to empower more social interaction with other players, as it does promote PVP at the same time. I've been reading a bit on the forum about different Vanarchs, but I'm not really sure who to vote for yet.

Elections - 3rd Daily Report

During the election week Samael News will inform you every day on the position of our Vanarch candidates - commented by themselves.

Saturday 26-05-12

Not much change happened this day, and you will notice that the ranking is exactly the same than the first day. <Viking of Midguard> is again in the 4th position and <Trollface> is now seriously menaced by <Divine>. We have also observed during the day many switch between <Honor Bound> and <Exiled> that are disputing the 5th place in North Shara. The competition for those guilds must be really thrilling.


South Shara


1.Darkness -Magister (veritas District)
2.Tangra -Deathie (Val Elenium)
3.Hentai Pornstar - Sunni (Westonia)
4. Viking of Midgard - Brutusbrutal (Val parada)
5. Trollface - Priest (Essenia)

Brutusbrutal <Viking of Midgard> comments : I'm happy to be in the top 5, but as it's the first election, we are more experimenting it. It's still important we win this first election as it's from there we know how to run Vanarch for an area. I appreciate all the help we have gotten from all people who voted for us. 


North Shara


1. Elin Dance Squad- Mikichi (Lorcada)
2. Malectum - Milfurd (Helkan District)
3. The Crimson Eye - Sylver (Val Tirkai)
4. Outlaw - Sam  (Val Kaeli)
5. Exiled - Kittycat (Essenia)




Arun

1. Insane-Code (Ostgarath)
2. Soul Eater-Neal (Poporia)
3. Whitestar-Acharial (Arcadia)
4. Rigor Mortis-Torztomp (Val Aureum)
5. Big Eyes Small Mouth - Chobits (Isle of Dawn)

Slot <Force> (6th position) comments : It's too bad. Guilds with less than 100 praise points will rule and they will not have the points needed to open all shops for Velikan.
