This week is a whole new ball game since the statue bonus was flattened out. The top couple brackets will be a real free for all now, since anyone with level 100 statues will have equal bonuses. Small spreads like 3 k will be more likely. The only war we lost last week was by a few thousand. ---

Itā€™s 30% + 1% every 5 levels maxing out at level 100. We only lost like 3% in Unrepentant, but being an older guild Iā€™m sure you dropped much more. It was going to take a year to catch up and have a fair fight. Now we get a fair fight at the top now. ---

If you only had 56% and did so well, Iā€™m really impressed. We should be back at the top of bracket 2 again when our guild starts waking up. ---

We had 3Ɨ55% 1x56% and 2x57% to be exact. On avarage something slightly bellow 56%. Not so lucky this week, down a member, and many players who had all 5-0 last week lost a few battles this week. ---

At this point im not sure how happy would we be with staying in bracket 1. Sure the rewards are better, but fights are monotonous. Everyone setting same cheese defenses, kills a bit of fun. ---

Yeah, we lost one of our better players, Badiator, over Guild Wars. It was very stressful the first week. Not as big a deal now. ---

Badiator joined us, then left 3 hours before gw start to go to intrim. He was saying he wanted a guild that doesnā€™t force players about GW. Donā€™t know how is intrim that xD ---

Too bad weā€™ll miss each other. I wonder much weā€™ll drop in points when he hit bracket 1. Iā€™m not naive enough to think weā€™ll score the same. Iā€™m not sure what to make of badiator. The stress of guild wars was intense the first week. I even took a day off. I assume thatā€™s most of it. Not so much stress anymore though. Good luck keeping a full ship. ---
