Abandoned Raid: An Explanation

I've been trying my best to get everyone on board with Pit Raid and Territory Battle coordination for the past several weeks. Some of you have responded wonderfully, for which I thank you. However, there still are a number of guild members who don't check in with Guild Chat regularly and don't check in with our blog. Unfortunately, this has led me to abandon the latest Pit Raid.

Yes, it was a waste of tickets. And for that, I am sorry. But, sometimes this kind of thing is necessary, if only to get everyone's attention. So, before we head into another Territory Battle or murder another Rancor, I need a couple of things from all of you:

1) Check in with GC and this blog as regularly as you can. When I sign in with my alt, I tend to see the refreshed Guild Header in orange block letters at the bottom of my screen. I can't imagine it's different for any of you. Please give this message your attention.

2) In the interest of fair gameplay -- and especially in the interest of guild community -- give the Zero Damage Rule video for Pit Raids a watch. Follow this rule. You can find a link to the YouTube video on Zero Damage in the sidebar under the header Pit Raid Overview.

More specifically:

1) Ryer, we still haven't talked at length about Territory Battle coordination. The ball's in your court, bud. When you have the chance, please do drop me a line in response to my latest email. I don't want to make any decisions without you.

2) Budder, please email me at your earliest convenience. My contact info is in the sidebar. I'd like for you to oversee all Pit Raids in the future -- as you fundamentally have done so far -- but that will take at least one conversation to coordinate. Whatever we decide, we can then pass on to everyone else in the guild.

All of this being said, if any of you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. And I do understand that backchannels can be an issue. Games such as SWGoH go to great lengths to maintain the anonymity of each and every player. I created a gmail account just for SWGoH. I invite you to do the same, if anonymity is indeed a concern of yours.

Lastly, in an effort to make sure that everyone has at least read this post, please give even the briefest of shouts in the comments below. Generally speaking, I can see how many visitors this blog has at any given time, but to whom I need to reach out specifically is often a mystery. Thank you all.

  1. This is Ryer. Read you loud and clear. Was doing great this weekend, till my water heater died. I will get a response to you soon.

  2. this is Alpha. Read you 5 by 5. I don't recall seeing a time clock for raid duration to date. For people like me in different time zones, it would be useful to get a 'time commenced' (if this doesn't already exist) so we can work out when the 24 hour period ends. Any guidance you can give would be appreciated.
