NA Server GUAR RAMPAGE & Fishing Tournament - Sat 28th March

Post by baratron »

We have two events for you this weekend, separated by an hour or so in the middle.

1) GUAR RAMPAGE in Cyrodiil
Do you love your guar? Does thinking about your guar make you feel all loved :heart: and happy :mrgreen: ? And do you want to show your guar off to the rest of the Guild? Then you probably want to come along to the first ever UESP Guild GUAR RAMPAGE!

This is a social event with no real purpose other than fun. We are going to meet in Cyrodiil and run around as a group with our guar. All characters of Level 10 and above are welcome, including senche and horse riders. A group from each Alliance will meet at the gate into Cyrodiil at the following time:

Sat 10pm GMT / Sat 6pm EDT (US Eastern) / Sat 3 pm PDT (US Pacific) / Sun 9am AEDT (Sydney)

I expect it will take about 10-15 minutes to get everyone organised, then we'll move off into Cyrodiil and meet somewhere in the middle. Where exactly we meet and which Cyrodiil server we will be on will be decided closer to the time. Then we will charge around on our GUAR (or senche, or horses), followed by some individual strictly consensual 1-on-1 PvP. You may choose to do this clothed (in your usual gear) or naked (because it's funnier).

Please dye your armour purple and gold! DC characters may wear their UESP Tabards, but members of other Alliances will find that their tabards turn white in Cyrodiil.

If you want to be even more social, please obtain and install the free Mumble Client prior to arriving. You don't have to have a microphone, and you don't have to talk verbally if you don't want to, but it's much easier to give instructions vocally.

Information about our Mumble server:
Hidden:
Label: Whatever you like, I suggest UESP
Address: 27.50.71.245
Port: 54958
Username: Something we will recognise, I suggest your @username from ESO (e.g. I will be baratron).
Please, for the love of Akatosh, if you are planning on speaking set up your microphone with a push to talk button. That way we don't get to hear horrible feedback as our own voices loop back through your speakers to your microphone!

2) Fishing Tournament - Players vs Fish!

The rules for the fishing tournament will be exactly the same as our previous tournament. Last time we fished in the second zone of each Alliance (Grahtwood / Stormhaven / Deshaan), this time we'll be in the third zone (Greenshade / Rivenspire / Shadowfen).

The event will run for 2 hours, from:
Sun 1am-3am GMT / Sat 9pm-11pm EDT (US Eastern) / Sat 6pm-8pm PDT (US Pacific) / Sun noon-2pm AEDT (Sydney)

Please check your time zone carefully since the event is Saturday night for Americans/Canadians/Brazilians but Sunday morning for Australians and Europeans.

Aim: To be the Alliance which catches the largest number of 'unique' rare fish.

Definition: A rare fish is one which appears on the Fishing Achievement for the area where you're fishing. They're unique because each type of fish only counts once per player.

How we're going to measure this: At the start of the Tournament, you must link to your character's Fishing Achievement for that zone in UESP Guild Chat. That allows everyone to see which fish you have already caught. Then, at the end of the event, you do the same thing. This allows everyone to see which fish you've caught during the Tournament.

If you don't know how to link an Achievement in chat, please see the instructions in last month's Tournament post.

To win: Be the team with the largest average number of 'unique' rare fish.

Rules:
1) You can only play for one Alliance. Choose which character you want to catch fish with!

2) Any character of any level is welcome - but you might want to bring one who hasn't already caught a lot of fish in the third zone of your Alliance.

3) Bait will be provided, although you can use your own if you have it.

4) You can join and leave any time during the event. Just make sure that you show your Fishing Achievement on Guild Chat when you arrive and when you leave, so that your totals can be included.

5) Trash talking along the lines of "Blood For The Pact!" is allowed and in fact encouraged, but should be aimed at Alliances not individuals. And remember that every minute you spend typing in text, you're not catching fish :mrgreen:.

6) The number of 'unique' fish caught will be averaged over the total number of members of the team.

Team Captains:
Aldmeri Dominion - @DarthVella
Daggerfall Covenant - @Rubinato
Ebonheart Pact - @FAdamsXII

Prizes:
  • Everyone will get a small prize for taking part.
  • Each member of the team with the highest average number of 'unique' rare fish will win a bigger prize.
  • Any individuals who completely fill their Achievement for the zone during the event will win an extra-special prize!
Any questions? Post them here or ask me on ESO!

I'm UESP NA Guild Advisor FAdamsXII, the Ebonheart Pact Team Captain for the fishing tournament taking place this weekend.

If you're Ebonheart Pact and you're participating in the fishing tournament, please let me know in advance, you can mail me in game at @fadamsxii or send me a tell when I'm online. I'll be putting this out tonight in game as well, because I want an idea of who's going to participate. I'm a firm believer in maneuver warfare, and I'd like to plot out a few productive routes for a cavalry strike team (or two or three, I can scale up) to follow to beat the pants off the AD and DC teams. Having a rough idea of how many people I have as assets makes my job a lot easier, obviously, so please get in touch with me.

Also, since this is a competitive event with the other alliances, I'd really like you to dye your armor something with some striking red in it, the Pact Red dye if you have it, but it is *not* a requirement. Its more to make it easier for me to be able to keep an eye on people. This is why we had infrared strobes in the Army, so our guys on other radio nets than the frequencies we were on knew where we were and didn't shoot or bomb us. Same idea with the red armor dye here.

I'm going to be scouting Shadowfen out today to get an idea of how to route us around, but two hours should be enough to get fair amount of geographic coverage. Its been awhile since I've been there though, its not a zone I like much but its one I can work in for something like this.

Also, keep in mind, there are NO ocean water types whatsoever in Shadowfen. The rare fish for that water type are caught in the other three types of hole. I'll try to find out about bait, if you have to use ocean bait to catch the ocean types in the other holes, or if its the normal bait type for that type of hole (bara, if you know, please let me know because I can't find a solid answer on that question).

Otherwise, I look forward to our team winning the tournament. I have the utmost confidence in our ability to win.
