But I heard you guys had prepared for last week, so I’m still feeling how a normal week goes. ---

I’m always down with spending more time in the brown. ---

By preparing we do this: Week before we do legendary tasks we finish red, purple and blue to 12/12 and the rest to 9/12. That allows us to save 5.1m gold. Despite that we donated 10m which was the amount needed to complete all those legendary tasks, or 4.9m more then what we could save up by our preparation. We also did that with 29 instead with 30 members because kwafs didn’t donate anything last week. ---

Happy to do brown first in case the others aren’t finished. I agree about green, I’ve got event keys coming out of my ears and I don’t even know what I’m saving them for 😕 ---

Alright, alright, I believe you now. 🙂 I think I’m skeptical because in the other guild we always had all we needed to donate when the week started, so it was all reall fast. ---

They have some very hardcore pvp players so they have more gold at their disposal. You know I don’t like pressuring people and make this obligation rather then fun 🙂 But we’ll get them done I’m 100% sure od that 🙂 ---

I’m A-Ok with doing Brown over Green every week, even though I accidentally stupidly used all my Event keys last week. I’ve advocated doing Brown \> Yellow \>\> Green for months. We gun for completing all Tasks anyway… This shouldn’t be a problem. @MakoSipper, “Theicla” is my XBox handle going back to 2007. But I never got used to having people say “The Icla,” so I usually pick versions of THECLA these days for my user name. If the lack of apparent difference between Theina’s and my name is _that_ disconcerting in the Chatlog, I suppose @DonBoba could promote one of us. Then the names will at least appear in different colours (green versus light green). Problem solved, at least temporarily. If not? You’ll just have to look at the situation as a daily exercise in testing & training your concentration span 😝 ---

Out of respect for Don, I admit I’ve been concealing _my dirty little secret regarding_ Draakulis. But Theina has gone and blown the issue way out into the open, and she’s forced me to come out of the closet: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/c/ca5417260682a6dadb296151ca7fb803d284baf5.JPG) I’m afraid I don’t have any “extras” of Draaky. either. (I’d prefer a Famine x3. Did I mention he’s much more likely to save my bacon against the daily horrors of Death By Manticore?) Also. Thanks for the promotion, Don! With congratulations to Badiator too. 😊 ---

Mine are more along the lines of Theina’s (“bat”, “EK”, “impervious” etc). In fact I’m going to go and change that right now! ---

Maybe you saw my Volatile Dragons above. I have others like “META Killers”, “Explodation”, “Farming Ladies”, “Gard’s Judgement”… ---

I like having my descriptors be descriptive 🙂 “Forest Frauen” is a mnemonic for my deep-freeze deck. “META Killers” is a great name! I named my versions of those as “Anti Manti” (which isn’t effective at all against them) and “Anti-Spammer” for the decks of 4x Same Troop. And one of my fave decks using Jarl and IK is called “Fire Sale.” ---

We just need 134k more donations per member to complete all the tasks. That much during a period of 6 days. Leaves a player to earn 23k gold a day to be able to donate that. Piece of cake 🙂 ---

My main invade team is (now) called _Apocalypse Now_. Gorgotha, Mercy, Death, Famine (brown/yellow banner). All traited. It’s an absolute beast and can beat most other teams. Then of course there’s _Kerbaken_: Gorgotha, Giant Spider, Kraken, Kerberos (frozen banner) for teams with manticore and bone dragon. I also like _Anariel’s Apocalypse_ which is the Lady herself, Famine, Death and Queen Mab (frozen banner). Tactic here is to spam Lady A’s spell. Unfortunately that name is too big for the game so it’s actually called _Anariels Apocaly_ 😑 And _Black Aby_ (as in 🎶 ‘whoah black aby, ram a bam’ 🎶) which is Black Beast, Valkyrie, Abynissia and Mercy (dragon banner). The beastie gets hilariously big from devouring Mercy and all those summoned Infernal Kings, and valk keeps Aby charged to fill BB again.
