Ok so here's the deal. If we finish second this week we will tie TC for the third spot in Gold at 21 points. If we finish third this week TC will finish with 23 points leaving us at 19 for the season. Now if it comes to a Tie we should get the third place spot because our rating is higher than TCs (That is just a theory though), but a theory I'm all for working off of because it's the only one that gives us any hope.
So, what's the plan? well it's quite simple we need to smash TC's and only TC's face in. JQ has been helping TC this week by mainly focusing on us and helping to wipe us off of TC objectives. I plan to turtle cap our Shard in SOR and hold it tight i'm talking 4 ACs and a treb on each gate and plenty of scouts to give us first response. Once setup properly we will try to rush TC. We need to keep this items Paper. if we can get a paper keep on the map even JQ will come in a flip it for us (they are after points not a challenge). Remember the idea here is to keep TC from owning points. IF JQ owns something outside of our shard, fine! so long as TC is beaten down.
Now here's what I need:
Participation- We have not even been queuing BLs during NA prime. This is not good. Our number are low so we need as many people as possible out there. If it's your first time, great! come on out. Hate WvW? give me 5 min and I bet I'll change your mind. The point is we can't do this with out numbers. 30 people is not going to be enough to cover a BL.
Siege- We need every person to be carrying some Arrow carts Ballistas. And make it superior. Every drop of supply is going to make or break us so we need to keep our siege placement efficient.
Group Leaders- Guys I need some big help and stepping up on this. I need atleast 5 people that can have task delegated to them and can get it done. Be it hold this tower, walk those yaks, or hold that zerg up for 3 min. You will be the leader of your five man group and you need to maintain control over that group. Though not every group will be able to preform in this manner, I want your group to act as one within our larger force. Able to remove its self from us as one and rejoin us once it's task is complete. The point is who ever these leaders are, when I speak to you I will do so with this assumption that I am speaking to 5 players and at least 50 supply unless you tell me otherwise. Anyone who wants this role please PM me or holla at me in raidcall. Also as a side note. having this role filled is the only way we can maintain total BL control.
A lot of this plan will depend on the numbers that show up. We will scale accordingly and do what we can. Again our main focus will be securing our shard. Then and only then will we push TC. This will not e the karma train style point flipping we have been doing in a lot of our events. Points are gonna matter now.
The exact schedule for this week is unknown because of Thanksgiving for us US folks. That said I will try to be on the battlefield as much as possible. Until a secure point lead is gained. I will post all times on the calendar.
I guess my point here is lets have some big time WvW fun over the next few days. Let's fight strategically and focus on getting TC to that third place spot. I hope to see ya'll on the battlefield!
