On 26th June 2010', we had an official friendly war with hellenic warriors. While we were the "away" team during our war with Taken Legacy, we were the "home" team for this war.
Hellenic Warriors is indeed a very tough opponent, as they were a 100+ clan and had lots of discipline, went through multiple drill trainings, and had many binders and snipers.
FIRST WAR
1st War: Classic (Centre Bounds)
Starting Opts - Team X 15 v 15 Hellenic Warriors
Ending Opts - Team X 0 v 6 Hellenic Warriors
Winner - Hellenic Warriors
Description - A few of Hellenic Warriors' members went out of bounds during this war, which is quite sad. Also, the OSUOTX got wiped out all at once, which was too much of a coincidence. Besides that, we fought really hard, and in the end, we lost 0 - 6.
SECOND WAR
2nd War: Turrets
Starting Opts - Team X 15 v 15 Hellenic Warriors
Ending Opts - Team X 0 v 11 Hellenic Warriors
Winner - Hellenic Warriors
Description - This was totally a disaster war for Team X. Zul, our warlord that was planning to range and spam bind, got called as first pile and k0-ed really fast. Then after, we totally had NO binders at all. We kept getting splitted up, and we had members joining the Sniping Unit instead of main pile. In the end, tragically, we lost by a great margin of 0 - 11.

If your name is not in the attendance list, please inform Jon or Xdjz asap.
Not everyone that was listed in the attendance list managed to participate in the war (as it was matched 15 v 15), but i would like to extend my gratitude for coming down and supporting us throughout the war, and helped us spy and spammed pile.
You guys did not help in the war physically, but you certainly helped us spiritually and mentally, and i want to thank you for that.
REVIEW ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCE
Good Points: 1) Spamming
You guys spammed well before, during, and after the war. Keep that up. Dont stop spamming, just... spam.
2) Falling In
Overall, you guys falled in relatively fast into the fall in leader, good job (: That's good to know. Lets keep our fall in below 6 seconds.
3) Attendance
I'm happy with the number of people that turned up for war. However, try to be punctual for massing as we have to conduct inventory checks, thanks.
4) Follow Rules
I'm glad that every single member abided by the rules. Nobody went out of bounds in the classic map, nobody flamed the other clan etc.
Serious Problems: (Severity in order, from top to bottom)
1) NO BINDINGThis is the MOST SERIOUS problem of the war. I dare claim that, almost NOBODY binded at all.
When i do a comparison: "When tanking, a team x member gets binded every step he takes." "When tanking, a hellenic warriors member runs freely away from our main pile". This happened because nobody binded from Team X, while they had very good binders.
I STRESS that binding is COMPULSORY for every single member. Whether you are a ranger, main pile, sniper, fi leader etc, you are required to BRING binds, and USE it.
NO BINDS NO WIN. Please remember that. And when binding, you are required to wear mage robes of any type. If you get attacked, quickly change to your armour gear. After the opponent team stops attacking you, continue to bind.
We will be organising a bind practice/test next month, July. This session is important to train our clan up in binding in clan wars.
2) NOT FOLLOWING MAIN PILEThis problem is as serious as ever, but mostly happened in the second war, when the map was turrets, which is a big map.
As we severely lacked binders, we could not successfully pile someone. He would just run freely and our main pile would eventually be splitted up. WHEN that happens, our FI leader, then PeaceXdemon, will call for everyone to fall in. However, hardly anybody stopped to fall into him. Instead, some went on to chase the pile, or roamed around solo.
WORSE, some even went to join the SU. For those who does not know what is SU, their full initials are the OSUOTX (Official Sniping Unit of Team X). They are formed as a sub unit, to snipe out players. PLEASE, i repeat, PLEASE do not join the SU's pile unless HIGHLY necessary.
For example, you need their protection as you lost the main pile. Other than that, there is no good reason you should be joining the SU instead of main pile. The members of SU will report to the generals if anyone else joins the SU during war without any valid reason.
3) Dropping Out VoluntaryThis is another major problem that arised at the start of our 1st war against Hellenic Warriors. The rules of this official war were: Opts 15 players against 15 players, and Team X had extra players. Because of that, we were required to drop a few players.
The generals and leaders WILL quickly discuss who to drop out of war. NOBODY is supposed to voluntary drop themselves out of war. It is good that you are willing to sacrifice for the team by choosing not to participate in the war. HOWEVER, you are not allowed to just walk out of the warzone and out of portal.
During the Hellenic Warriors war, we had 2 or 3 members who did that, i will not list out their names, but you know who you are. We will not take action against this rash act. But please do take note of the severity of this action, and if this is repeated, we may have to impose a punishment on whoever who does that.
4) Disconnecting and Petty MistakesThis is also a problem, but disconnecting is ENTIRELY not your fault. During the second war, tragically, 3 members disconnected during the war. That totally set us back and gave us a big disadvantage. Although disconnecting is not your fault, it may help if you do not open too many other computer programs (i.e. Internet explorer pages, videos, songs etc.) during war. This may help to reduce the lag.
Also, we had a member who cabbage teleported during the war by accident while trying to restore his run via explorer ring. (Member will not be named). This is a petty mistake that should be avoided at all costs during war. However, i am not blaming him. Reason? Everyone makes mistakes.
I attended another official war with another clan few months ago, and a WARLORD accidentally cabbaged teleport while tanking. This shows that even a warlord can make mistake like this.
I am not saying its okay to randomly tele away during wars, but just BE CAREFUL in future. But, DO NOT let this stop you from restoring run via explorer ring. Explorer Ring is a huge advantage to yourself while tanking, so make use of this advantage.
Sorry for this stunningly long conclusion. However, please note all the good points and problems we had in this war. Keep up the good points, and work on the problems. I certainly hope that we could buck up (especially in binding) and win our next official war in the near future.
The generals and warlords will organise a BIND DRILL PRACTICE/TEST for Team X sometime in July, be sure to turn up, this session is IMPORTANT in training ourselves up for future wars.
