Practice in Review/Person, I am Disappointed…

Here is the practice stuff that I should have posted over the weekend, only other stuff intervened:

Overall, the practice went excellently.  The Omega and the Renegade provided the entertainment with classic songs like “Down with Boomer” and “ACP is Evil”, and “Bringing Crazy Back”.  Plus the new tactic went nicely.  It was a way to utilize the circle thing that we had been doing for fun by giving it a use in battle.  The first step is to surround the opponent (speed is more important than making a perfect circle), followed by a unified charge at the group in the center.  We executed this at least 5 times at the practice, and I was very impressed.  First, some tips:

When to use this:

• When facing a small group who are towards the center of the room
• When facing a larger group that is standing close together and is not able to move easily
• When an army is switching rooms and is appearing in the center of the room

How to execute it properly:

• Quickly form a circle around the opponent, surrounding them
• Stay quiet and wait for the signal to charge
• Charge those in the center and use a clover bomb (this works best if you only tighten the circle rather than all moving to the center because it takes up more space)

Now for the pics! – Thanks to Dryvit, Baloon, and Bat for being our practice “smarties” 😆

We tried to start at the Snow Forts, but we couldn’t really grasp the concept of the center since there isn’t a clear center there, so we moved to the Ice Rink, which was an easier shape to start with.  The first circle took just under 5 minutes, which was much faster than some of our previous tries, and this was our first charge.

A quick regroup, and we formed another circle in around 10 seconds!  That’s the kind of speed we want.

Another charge

Another regroup and another charge

We moved to the Snow Forts, and succeeded with the tactic in a much bigger room.

That was a massive circle!  I’m looking at a good 60 soldiers there.

Another charge

A modified charge I had, where we lined up on the wall and charged from just one side.

Person gave us bad coffee, so we charged the counter 😛

Why thank you kind sir! 😀

Not really anything interesting to charge at here, so we settled on the red spring thingy 😕

Regrouping at the top for another charge

We sunk the boat (sorry CP) 😐

Rockhopper, ye and your ship be ours 😉

We circled the ship and stormed the door to the hold.

We circled the Iceberg and charged yet again.

We went to the Dojo to do some suicides (that’s a sprinting drill lol).

To the left

And back…

We did a couple more sprints, and then we ran a marathon from the Mountain to the Cove (no pics in between, it went too fast 😛 ).  At the Cove. we had a Green party to close it out.

Thanks to everyone who came!  For those of you who didn’t try to make the next one, and study up on this tactic.  You might be seeing it again.

If you did make it, please comment (it will help me when promo day comes around, but don’t lie, cause I think the pics to check…)

Next point, Person, I am really disappointed in you…

You made a claim for Fjord, and when you found out it was MCP’s capital, you laughed and said, ” Oh well! Once we turn it into Nacho territory, you can sell Nacho T-shirts if you’d like.”  For one thing, it was foolish to think you could claim a server without checking if anyone owned it.  But it’s another thing to completely disregard the fact that they already own it.  Just because they are smaller than you, you think you can take them over?  Sound familiar?  Maybe Hitler invading Poland in WWII?  That’s like Great Britain saying, “Hey, New Jersey would be a great place for a British vacation territory, so I think I’ll just take it because they can’t defend themselves against us…

Of course you can’t take New Jersey without dealing with the U.S., and Person, you are picking on one of our closest allies.  And frankly, I’m not very happy…

Poll Time…

Is what the Nachos doing fair?  Tell me what you think.

P.S.~The results of the poll were running around “Yes Jungle is active – 8″, “No he’s not – 80+” before it was hacked 😐

So yeah…
