      Fane got a reaction from Gion in Golden Invasion   
      Hello,
      Golden invasion can start randomly on the hour when it`s due.
      Example: If it`s  3:30 PM and on "H" or website you see that the golden invasion start in 30 minutes it means that from 4PM to 5PM the invasion can start anytime.

      Fane reacted to Reporter in [Interview] Gion   
      Helloooo, OldSquad Community!
      This is an interview I've been wanting to take for a very long time, it's an interview with my editor, can you believe it? What Reporter will interview his own editor ? Well, on OldSquad everything is possible and I'm glad to have this privilege (I just want you to know that this interview is exclusive and confidential, so if you read it don't tell anyone, please).
      I want to share my first memory I have with this player / judge / event maker, and more recently, since Admin decided to leave the "football field" and just get into the coach's shoes, he's not that old but it's like Murinho! So Gion isn't just my editor, he's been the chief of staff in the game for a few months.
      Uh, Oh, again I got off topic, well, let's go back to my previously idea, I was a new player on OldSquad, I didn't know anyone and I see an Admin online -> Gion, I start talking to him and he's not on any pedestal, he talks to me easily, as if he was a simple player, so I'm amazed: a server populated, hard to play with admins who don't think they are gods? WTF? Something is wrong, he is always naughty, he has a sense of humor and he is always active,  and I changed my mind instantly about this server, before I had tried many servers, so boring, those with high exp were interesting for a few days but this one at first view looks like it will last at least for few weeks, so I chose to stay and play here, I could write novels but let's limit ourselves to the interview of this editor of mine:
      Reporter: "Hello, Gion, and welcome to the NewsPaper Hall of Fame ! "
      Gion:"Hello, sir! I am glad that you have introduced me as well, it is a honor for me."
      Reporter : " Can you, please, give us a description of yourself? Name, age, occupation, hobbies, etc. ? "
      Gion:"My name is Rares, with the last 's' being read as 'sh', some Romanian thing. I am 23, and currently I study telecommunications, and you know , I can say that I also study MU Online, by any means. Mu happens to be also a hobby of mine, alongside music and things related to sounds/comms engineering."
      Reporter:" Where does Gion nickname come from?" 
      Gion: "It was kinda random, my idea at the moment of creation(2014-2015) was that I wanted to use a common name, but as it is written in Romanian, so the common name was 'Ion' -> 'John' into English, and then 'Gion', as we, Romanians, write it. "
      Reporter: "Tell us the story about how you got to play this game and how you got to be the chief of staff on one of the only server of MU Online which promises months of play, not just days / weeks? "
      Gion: "Well, since me and ADMIN were classmates since the 1st grade, we have a long story together. Long story short, ADMIN introduced me to this game about 11-12 years ago, if I am not wrong, since then we played together a lot, then, one day ADMIN came up with the idea that if we don't find a server for our expectations(and believe me, we didn't), we have to build one."
      Reporter: " Have you ever been a player on MuOldSquad?" 
      Gion: "Yessir, on different ocassions."
      Reporter :"How did you manage to get the Admin to trust you? (of course we need a story)"
      Gion: "I'm glad that you asked. As I said, ADMIN came up with the idea that we have to build this server. At the beginning he created the server on his own, with us, the real-life friends, being just players and only sometimes helping with small things, like doing an event for the players that were active at that moment, or things like these. He basically started everything on his own, and then, after the work volume has increased he reached me, because, I guess, he knew that I enjoy this game like .. a lot."
      Reporter : "How did you both come to the conclusion that this server needs a NewsPaper? Whose idea was it?"
      Gion: " We thought about it because looking at how nice and good the players are evolving around, like there are lots of unexpected situations, 500 IQ plays, etc that must be seen by everyone, so we wanted our players to feel that what they do will be acknowledged. We are creating, together, the History of OldSquad, The MU Continent of Legend, exactly as you say, with a lot of work, dedication and 'blood' from the deadly battles. "
      Reporter: "Does Admin pay you real money for the work you do??"
      Gion: " Since we are all doing this out of passion, I think that money talks are a bit offtopic. "
      Reporter: "What are your responsibilities, is this like a part-time job or maybe more like a full-time?" 
      Gion: "My responsibilities, and there is only one, in my opinion, is to make sure that everyone has a good time and a fair shot in the competitions, whatever they are."
      Reporter: " What makes you keep doing the job you do?"
      Gion: "As I said, I consider myself a student in MU Online by any means - technical, social, I even learnt how to manage a situation where there are some misunderstandings. I also get to know a lot of new people. It's basically you, the whole community, that keeps me doing it."
      Reporter : "Many times when I had the opportunity to talk to you, you were tempered regardless of the situation,  ... where do you got so much patience from? How do you succeed, you and Admin have such different temperaments and yet you are best friends (it seems to me). What is your explanation? " 
      Gion: " I think that knowing each other for so much time and playing together got us into having the same mentality and values, regarding this game. Also in real-life we are different but still best friends because even we have different personalities, knowing each other helps us to get the best out of each one. It is like an out-of-the-box experience, in terms of MU Online, me and ADMIN are the same person, same thoughts, like a multi-core processor, but it is still one piece."
      Reporter : " Is it hard to do what you do? Give us some examples of difficult moments you have faced since you were part of the staff"
      Gion: "It is not hard, not for me, the guy who always looked up to do something like this, I had previous experiences as a server administrator before, and not only MU. I cannot say that it is 'hard', it might be mind challenging, but I would not label it as 'hard'. You asked for an example: It was a nice evening of Phoenix, I was hanging around the server, just doing random things like answering PMs, etc, and while I was walking around the maps, I get into Relics, pass the safe zone, and there were some players apparently fighting. I pass them by a few steps and then I stop. By the time, one of the teams killed the other one, I think that they were organized in teams, and one of the guys there came to me and started attacking me (ofc, he was not really attacking me because the GM char has immunity), but I have answered with one shot that killed that guy, because why not. What came after this deserves to get in a novel: his whole guild came back and started to accuse me that I help the other team. They even started to cry on global chat, etc. The situation was more complicated than what I have exposed, but let's not concentrate on it, since you got the main point out of it. Since then I choose very carefully how to interact with the players. Btw, I don't even remember the names of those players, neither for the 'criers' nor for the team that 'I was helping', so you can understand my huge interest to kill some random player in a random map. " 
      Reporter : "I guess the work you do here on the game has a lot of challenges that keep you connected to the game, reveal to us the most intense challenges you have had lately"
      Gion: "The most intense challenge around is to maintain the server and come up with fresh stuff, but with the help of ADMIN and the Council, I hope that we are managing this."
      Reporter:" Every time a new database is released on OldSquad, a lot of new things appear, where do they come from?"
      Gion: "Most of the things come from, obviously, the previous experience. That's why each of our new version is breaking a past record. We basically improve the game constantly, as I said, as a team."
      Reporter: "One of your many new projects is The Council, what do you think about this project,
      does it bring the expected results? Are these Council members active? Give us three examples of requests / discussions between staff and board members that have added value to the gameplay. "
      Gion: "I think that this idea is the next step towards total democracy in MU, since we try to have a council member from 'each side' of the server. We do not discuss about Council in terms of activity, since there in only one channel where we debate the upcoming things, vote, suggest. I think that in this way we can hear you, the players, easier. I cannot name specific things, because we try to discuss everything there."
      Reporter: "Have you ever played a normal character while being part of the staff?"
      Gion: "Yes." 
      Reporter: "What happened to Grom and DEADCATS, why were they banned and what is your opinion about ADMIN refusing to let them play for so long?"
      Gion: "I think that when they were banned I was only the Event Manager, so I was not really into them things at that moment. But I am sure that they lost their right to be around here for a reason, because, as you know, we are giving paroles sometimes." 
      Reporter: " Do you believe in superstitions? Do you think the Castle is Cursed?"
      Gion: " I do believe in energies which may be translated into curses, so yes, I can say that I believe in curses."
      Reporter :" Because you should already know what's next, It's time for challenges, and I've prepared five for you, do you accept them?"
      Gion: " All of them, ese".
      Reporter:" Challenge no 1: Tell us the funniest two memories related to MU online, one in which you felt ashamed of what you did and one in which someone else did something funny!"
      Gion: " The funniest one , and I think that ADMIN can agree, was one time, long ago, when me and ADMIN were playing together on a server on which there was a special Elves' spot in Arena, with its entrance blocked, like when you tried to pass through it and you were not an elf, it pushed you back. Since the spot was only for Elves, any other character reported on that spot was getting one to three days ban , I don't remember for sure, but at least one day, and it was like this because that pushing entrance could've been abused with SM's teleport (as they knew until then, and they still don't know ^^). So I got into an argument at school with ADMIN which led us into a minor beef. I want to mention that at that moment ADMIN had a DL and he was ahead of me with a couple of resets, and it is obvious that when we got home after school, ADMIN was PKing me non-stop, chasing me everywhere, not letting me to do shit. I was mad as fuck, so later that night, when ADMIN went to sleep, I switched to my ~273 level BK, whose name ADMIN remembers as it was yesterday ^^, and started to move ADMIN from a regular spot towards the entrance of that Elves' spot, having in mind to sabotage him somehow, I was thinking to report him that he was trying to kill mobs from the outside of the spot/yard. But when I got there, I tried to do the impossible: I have skilled ADMIN until I pushed him THROUGH that gate. It was a premiere, and the last time when that happened. Now I had him pinned: he was inside the spot, still attacking, because at that time we used own clickers, but now I had to report him without anyone to notice my scam. I created another forum account and reported ADMIN. He tried to defend himself, he even told the staff that it was me, because he knew my alt, but no one believed so ADMIN ended up being banned and the case was closed. This is also the situation that I feel ashamed for, because that was simply not a fair win. But it was a win tho ^^^"
      Reporter:" Challenge no 2: Tell us about one of the moments when you and Admin quarreled, with details of course, and how you managed to get over ! " 
      Gion: " We do not argue over decisions here, on MU, because we take a decision by evaluating it from all points of view. But I've just answered previously to this one^^."
      Reporter:" Challenge no 3: Tell us the three biggest guilds that have ever played on the server (in your opinion), and name 5 players you liked, with reasons of course." 
      Gion: " The best three guilds, in terms of gameplay: (the order does not matter) Hardcore, Squadron, and a Greek guild from the 2019 Phoenix, I don't remember the name well. Also, I cannot name certain players, but I want to shoutout ADMIN, Mitsakos, Nina, also shoutout to Reporter and Wanheda, players which I will never forget. The list continues, but you asked for 5 namez."
      Reporter:" Challenge no 4: What has been your biggest disappointment since joining OldSquad? " 
      Gion: " My biggest disappointment is that the competition is not as it should be. Take for example the current case: first party from Inception is way ahead of the others. How is this possible? And I even hear guys complaining about it. How can you? How could they get so far while the other parties were killing them and stealing their mob's kills? Oooh, because no one PKed them, no one did what they did (party composition, decisions). That's why I am disappointed."
      Reporter:" Challenge no 5: I know that being part of the staff and always having the need to make decisions, sometimes they can be wrong. Describe the moment when you made such a decision that you regretted and if you did anything to fix that decision."
      Gion: " When we realize that we made a wrong decision we simply admit it and change it asap."
      Reporter:" Thank you very much for your honest answers, keep up the good work you do!" 
      Gion: " Thank you for having me, it was a pleasure ! Cheers ! "
       
       This was the interview of Gion, a young man, even though he is my editor, I learned a lot from him (despite the age difference between us) a man who brings great value to this community, yes, I know what's next to say, that the Reporter kisses his ass, well due to the fact that he earned my respect, I will make this sacrifice although (speaking only between us) I don't think he likes that :).
      I hope him to continue the work he does, and that together with Admin to take this server to higher levels, still giving their best!

      Fane reacted to Reporter in The Curse of Inception Episode 4   
      A great battle between the most important guilds on the server took place, PURGE and Diamond finally signed up on Saturday evening, so, I had the privilege of watching our warrior masters in action again.
      Hardcore started as defenders with a handicap of 2000 points, due to the fact that this great guild is undefeated, so far, and owns the castle for 3 consecutive weeks. They prepared the gates and statues again, in order to recover a little score , out of the -2000 handicap, they used mostly the same strategy that paid off for last week, all darklods on 1 switch, and on the other they put all the cannons. 
      Purge, the strongest attacking guild had an incredible performance in the first part of the siege, managing to keep the advantage and even increase it sometimes, they managed to conquer the castle very quickly in this first part, much better organized than last week, and all focused on victory.
      Diamond warriors also came to take part in this war and they didn't do it badly, they managed to register once, the beginning of the fight was a formidable one for them, in the first hour they had at least managed to accumulate ~ 1000 points and, also, registered once. 
      The battle was balanced in the first hour between all three guilds, followed by 30 minutes in which Diamond seemed to have lost their focus, the battle being largely between Purge and HARDCORE, but, sadly, only one single star is shining like a diamond in this small guild with big aspirations (Diamonds), that star is called Glowa and he manages to shine on the switch and to confuse both guilds when registering.
      We are approaching the last half hour and the balance is tilted in favor of PURGE, those from Diamond no longer seem to focus on the fight except for the "glowing" Glowa, the fight for the bottom switch was the fiercest, the crown on No1LiveEr's head starts to shake because Purge shows clarity, they are even faster when they return to the castle and register, but on the last 30 minutes Hardcore wakes up, recovers from the shock and starts to gather, they manage to approach Purge step by step and sometimes even to overtake them. There are 10 minutes left and they manage to take the lead, Purge seems demoralized, they start accusing Diamond of playing anti-game in favor of Hardcore, instead of focusing on taking the switches and everything falls apart for them.
      Diamond did a nice fight at the beginning and their major weakness was just another stamper, one like Glowa to be able to register more often, also HVMAN needs to take care of set or build cause he died few times and that is achile's heal for a guild. 
      Purge made 13223 points and received 4 free lord boxes, that's really good, thinking that Hardcore can have max 7 Lord Boxes. 
      As for the invincibles from HARDCORE, they keep the crown on No1LiveEr's head, hardly, but they have succeeded, this guild remained undefeated on Castle Siege and continue to hold the supremacy of Inception , they won the chance to do 7 lord box (if for those in Purge they were free, HC has to pay the price of 30b / 30s / 30jog and 1kkk zen per day) but they also benefit from the invaluable antiques that will fall at their feet for another 7 consecutive days, and will also benefit from the spot that will propel them to the top.
      Many questions arose as a result of this epic battle, but I will reveal only the most relevant ones: 
      Did Diamond really helped HARDCORE? They finished with 1800 points and if they did this they certainly didn't do it for free, giving up the remaining 700 points to get a Lord Box so what HARDCORE promised to them if the rumors that come from Purge are right? 
      The Next Castle Siege will probably be played in the exp stage, Purge will recover even more from the resets and HARDCORE will start with a disadvantage of 3500 points, will they be able to continue to keep the crown on No1LiveErs head? 
      Will FORMOZA actually come to fight? They didn't show up last Sunday, they don't want top items with 3 Opts? 
      Due to the fact that I heard many  "voices" from Purge saying that Diamond helped HARDCORE, I went in game to investigate and tried to obtain the answers for the questions that players can give, got in contact with HVMAN's party member  and No1LiveEr's and that is what I received : 
      Reporter : "Hello, guys (referring to HVAMAN's party) " 
      TaleSp1N :" Hello" 
      Reporter:" Did you helped HARDCORE last CS?" 
      TaleSp1N: "No, we didn't, we prefer Purge to win, but we won't help any team, everyone for himself ,we work hard to win for our self and we did  good! 
      Then I went to No1lveEr's party: 
      Reporter:" Hello, guys, how do you comment the rumors that Diamond helped you to win this fight?"
      RuSuLeTzZz : "If that rumor is true .. then the fact that Trippy stole from Collison ( his guild mate ) , Chukundah is a scammer and pk his guild mate Manyak , Oklahoma stole all items from Snajper .. are all false. Cheers!"
      Now I wait as a reply to this article the pro and contra arguments from PURGE, DIAMOND and HARDCORE, OR EVEN FORMZA!

      Fane reacted to Gion in OldSquad Council   
      Hello, OldSquaders !
      We are glad to introduce you to a brand new group on forum, the Council group ! This group is created in order for the players to communicate with the staff easier. Our aim is to make the Council to represent the players, facilitating the feedback, the suggestions, the bug reports, basically everything. Having lots of online players can create confusion between the staff and the players, due to the repetitive reports, or repetitive requests for some changes (which are not that healthy for the community as a whole, but are still requested by some of the players that didn't know that the case was already presented and/or discussed). In this way we will try to sync the big decisions according to our players.
       
      Some "requirements" / details:
       
      Council group
      - Special forum group & discord place where chosen players can communicate easier with the staff and represent the players from the community.
      - Legends does have priority but not a guaranteed spot.
      - Only accepting people that we enjoyed speaking with or we like their character.
      - We need at least 1 person from each big guild from server.
      - 1-2 newbies (playing 1st time on our community).
      - Players that had contribution during these years.
      - Maximum of 12-15 players, for now.
      - No rewards but also no responsibilities, only participating when they what on discussions or bringing an opinion to others suggestions/reports/etc.
      - People totally inactive from the group will be removed & replaced.
      - People who want to join the council must send us details via Messenger to our Facebook page, OldSquad Community, and we'll select from them as well as inviting ourselves the good guys, if they don't 'apply.
       
      We hope that you will enjoy this !
      Best regards,
      OldSquad Team

      Fane reacted to Reporter in Council, a New Project for OS Community   
      The Council, a project in which experienced or not so experienced players can help the administrative team take the best decisions in the game, where they can ask for explanations and understand the direction our community is heading.
      Over time I have seen all sorts of players with or without experience who complain about various things, they usually expect that if you enter the forum and open a simple topic, everything is solved, without thinking about the consequences. For example: an Elf player would like to have the top pvp Elf, top PVM, top everything, of course, it's easy to go in and ask but the impact of an upgrade of a class in the game can ruin the whole balance of the server.
      This new project is about us, about the players, about our community, a project that will help us to evolve progressively, I had a little talk with Gion, and I asked him to give us some more details about this project, so you can understand better what it is about. I've selected the most on-point discussions:
      Reporter:" Hello, Gion ! " 
      Gion: " Hello, my dear friend ! "
      Reporter: "Can you tell us where the idea for the council came from? Who thought of this project and what is its purpose? " 
      Gion: " Sure ! ADMIN had this idea, we wanted to implement it since the beginning of Inception, but we had a lot to work on the server side, so we delayed it until now. " 
      Reporter:" What are your expectations from future Council members?
      Gion: " Since we delayed the project until now, it is understood by default that we want some quality, meaning that we cannot let 90% of the players' opinions in the hands of the .. let's say people who are not ready.
      Reporter:" The opinions of these council members will have a decisive impact on the game ?" 
      Gion : " Of course. It is well known that this game is better in teams, no matter if a team has 2-5-25 members. Assuming that a team is usually sharing the way of thinking, because that's why they're a team, right ? So, assuming that the team has the same mentality, our aim is to have a representative in as many teams as possible, from the newcomers' parties up to the highest guilds. Just like a sampler does. Our aim is the Democracy. We want everyone to matter, and taking this into account, that's why I said that the Council is 90% of the players' opinion, any player can still open polls / suggestions / etc. by himself"
      Reporter: "After a player joins this Council, will he be able to continue to talk freely on the forum or in game?" 
      Gion :" Yessir ! Anyone can speak freely "
      Reporter:" Will these players, once they enter this Council have any advantage in the game?" 
      Gion: " There are no immediate physical rewards, as there are no responsabilities, but I am sure that the overall quality of the personal gameplay, as well as the public gameplay will be highly increased soon " 
      Reporter:" Those who register, in order to be elected, must know how to speak English very well? " 
      Gion: " It is recommended to know English in order to be able to let us, the others, know what's on your mind."
      Reporter:" In the announcement made regarding the recruitments of council members you mentioned that those members should be "Players that had contributed during these years", can you be a little more explicit?"
      Gion: " You don't have to meet all the requirements in order to be "elected" as a Council member. As you can see, the newcomers will be a part of it too. That's the "academic" answer, the true reason was already mentioned by me above, and it is that we want quality, even the newcomers have to show that they are ready and that they are really willing to do this. Obviously, the ones that "have already contributed during these years" are well-known by us. And we appreciate it. Looking forward to see more people doing it ! Cheers !" 
      Reporter:" But when you say "contributed" you do not mean that he need to be a donor or something, right? "
      Gion: " 🤦‍♂️No, sir. It has nothing to do with the donations. We are talking about the ones who contributed with suggestions, ideas, also understanding when a suggestion/idea cannot be implemented not because it is wrong, but because we promote what the majority wants, just like it is in Democracy. "
      Reporter:"The announcement for the recruitment of these council members was made around 5-6 days ago, what is the status of the number of players registered for the selection? " 
      Gion: " There are some players who expressed their will to do this and we are very glad. Thank you !"
      Reporter: "Who will select these members and when will this selection take place?" 
      Gion: " The selection is made by ADMIN and me, as I said, based on the previous experiences (personal or public), no matter how small these experiences were. As you can see, we have already stared to add Members. "
      Thank you very much, Gion ! I am convinced that this new project will have 100% success rate !

      We won't trash on 50% of our new system before it even got to be fully played from start.
      If there will be any changes to the CS system they will happen on the next Inception.
      Only 380 non exc. weapons are ingame, those for W4 from Guild Master Box. Same W4 system but with non exc 380.

      Maybe having only 1 GM box would be a good idea. Or maybe 2 boxes that drop random items(GM box cannot be traded,stored,sold)
      Avoid having complete 380 sets while others have brass.dragon.legendary...

      Fane reacted to ADMIN in EXP Increased due to the outbreak   
      Hello,
      Due to the current global outbreak, we've decided to increase Inception's EXP for its remaining life, so people can have a bit easier time playing it while they're at home.
      Normal EXP: Doubled.
      ML EXP: +50%.
      We're also working hard to bring you the new Phoenix edition as soon as possible.
      Happy gaming and stay safe!

      Fane got a reaction from Gion in Where can find orb of Greater Defence and Heal   
      Energy elf only works on castle siege(server 20). Don’t waste to much points on energy,especially if you have only just started now ! 
      After you manage to make some resets you can add 5k ene (in order to use ice arrow)...but for now I would suggest you to stop adding points into energy.
      If you need extra infos about server can find them here:

      Fane reacted to Reporter in "The Curse" Back to Origins chapter XlV   
      It's been three weeks since I've not been written anything about Castle Siege and the fight for Inception supremacy. There have been weeks in which I was busy, so I was not able to follow this fight for domination in my usual manner, but by starting the investigations I found out the following events:
      ATTACK continued the supremacy on the server, they managed to win every fight and eventually they found themselves without an opponent who at least register and try to fight for the Castle. The Castle Siege that took place 2 weeks ago, passing without any fight for ATTACK, apart from the war with boredom. But after this "Castle Siege" without any "siege", players that were still active in the PlayBoys guild decided to break the "unofficial" alliance with those in ATTACK and they had to rebuild the guild under the name of FAMILY. After that, they started to negotiate an alliance with those remaining active in Hardcore & Legends. At the end of the week I saw a new guild born out of these 3 forces, for some players was not a surprise, especially since, if we take into account the rumors from the server, there were some kind of friendships between some members of Hardcore and PlayBoys since the early beginning of these guilds.
      I have not yet been able to find out exactly what caused this semi-alliance between PlayBoys and ATTACK to fall, but I know that some rumors were confirmed with the initiation of this new guild, a guild that under the leadership of AdriaNN registers at Castle Siege and promises a lot of action in the great battles for the all great bosses and for Inception's domination. This new guild is called OldStyle and it seems that there was gathered all the remaining strength on the server with the only purpose to face the great, the invincible, the unstoppable warriors from ATTACK, a force that under the lead of Fane dominates this end-game part of the server, with warriors that dominates all main events. And they keep fighting hard because they want to take their guild name right near the legendary guild names that reign and did reign in the History of OldSquad.
      The fight is about to start, I wait to see what build is blocked, but even being a single guild attacking, I'm surprised again, OldStyle didn't block any build (when I asked into left and right to search for a reason I was told that they registered too late and being a new guild they didn't have time for this). Anyway I'm still excited to see this new brutal fight that has been already announced... 
      ATTACK, under Fane's leadership begins with a significant points disadvantage, and they must face a guild that brings on the battlefield from Land of Trials at least 20 active players. The odds are against them, except that they have a guild core made by warriors who play together for several months. The beginning of the fight is heavy for the OldStyle people, they seem to hardly organizes the parties, which is proven by the time, there where about 25-30 minutes since the first assault starts. On the other side, those in ATTACK move as if they were a single perfectly coordinated party,  they replied as a force that easily crushed everything in its path, each player seems to know what he has to do and easily recovers the big difference of points they had as a disadvantage at the beginning of this war.
      OldStyle's warriors don't give up and they manage to increase their odds registering successfully and managing to keep the crown on AdriaNN's head for several minutes. But they were hit by a painful defeat caused by an organized attack of the enemies and they began to be disoriented. Those in ATTACK continue their strategy, they have powerful elves shooting Ice Arrows towards everyone approaching the switches, and taking the strategy close to perfection, they use the most important damage dealers grouped on the right switch to stop any attempt by those in OldStyle to hold that switch. And them OldStyle warriors even manage to hold it for a few seconds, they cannot register because a skilled summoner player (her<summoner> name is Helsing) did the most important job at that time, keeping AdriaNN in sleep and also "sending to bed" all the OldStyle players who approach. So, even if OldStyle warriors held switches, AdriaNN was delayed a lot from registering each time by this skillful Helsing who was throwing sleeping pills at AdriaNN and at all OldStyle warriors nearby .
      The most important last 30 minutes make their appearance and ATTACK already have a consistent advantage, but although the OldStyle defeated players won't give up and fight until the last drop of blood and until the last second of the fight marks the end of this Castle Siege.
      At the end, Fane consolidates his position as a leader of the server and those in ATTACK once again prove to everyone that they want to get this guild into the Hall of Fame of all guilds that successfully manage to break the Curse and dominate the server on a long run (even if, same as NONE, they dominate the server only on the mid to end life of server ). 
      I assume saying that ATTACK deserves its position as Server masters, as well as OldStyle deserves its position too, as they didn't plan their moves at all, first major flaw was not to ban any build, not to build any strategy, etc.
      We'll see what the next fight brings us !

      Fane reacted to Reporter in I am Reporter. Just a random player!   
      Many players are wondering who Reporter is and why is he anonymous, why does he do this, and if he abuses the game with his position? Well, at this moment, the Reporter is just me (a random player), I am doing it for several months and I am doing everything in my power to have fun on the forum with the only purpose to increase the level of involvement for players in the forum and for our community. It is very likely that sometimes I write only the first appearance of an event in my articles (maybe I have only one sided part of story) , but if shit happens and I am wrong, I admit it publicly. I do not consider myself a perfect Reporter, but I consider myself a man with a strong spine and this means that I am able recognize my mistakes publicly, a mistake should  help everyone to evolve by not repeating it, no matter the circumstance. Plus, I am trying to deliver publicly the News, which I am personally picking, as soon as possible. 
      If you look at the things constructively, this community has many hundreds or even thousands of players, and it deserves all the best! To be a Reporter inside this community means that you have to voice publicly the community voice, and this means to be equidistant even if you are a player. You have to put the job in the foreground, maybe you have incomplete information, sometimes a Reporter can only express the point of view that he gets on the ground(in game) , so I always must be careful what to write, in order to avoid controversies. But if I have strong arguments or evidence, I can do it with my eyes closed, I believe in the freedom of speech , I believe in this project in which I am involved, and I hope that freedom of speech will always win! I believe in truth and I will refuse to publish a lie, being aware of it.
      I will always refuse to believe that the accuracy of my articles is prejudiced by my pride as a player, or the pride of the people I play with, I will always criticize mistakes (even if they are mine, or Admin's) and I will always bring due respect to those who deserve, regardless of the camp they belong to.
      Being a Reporter means more than being an admin, an admin can make hot decisions, without thinking twice or he can be as proud as he wants, but he has to be even cause the only main judge on this server is Admin. I believe he acts always to increase the value of our community, maybe sometimes he does mistakes, even him can act without caring for the moment and ban someone just cause he was rude. He is right in 99% out of all cases , but I care, I care about all the players (I have an affection for those who put their soul in this game, some of these people make some big mistakes, and some of them do those mistakes because they have the impression that they have the absolute truth and that they have to reveal it to all the server, without thinking twice, without "sitting in Admin's chair"). I also care about all the articles I write, and, if I am wrong, I blame myself. Tho when I have a story to tell , especially when I am one of the most spiritualists, and I get an interview or just an anonymous opinion I commit myself to say it without being constrained by staff or other "forces". Let the truth (even one sided) go public !
      When that time will come and I will give up being a reporter (or I will be fired),  I hope that this project will continue and that the new Reporter who will take over this job will surpass me and raise the written press to the highest level. 
      Until then, the Reporter is me, just a random player, trying to get involved in the community, to take its pulse, and publicly transmit the most important things that happens in our servers and to interview the top players. I do not consider myself a super player or a super star cause I have this job, and I do not think that Reporter should be looked at like this, everything about NewsPaper must and should be about the community. I apologize as a human being, in this way, to those who felt offended in the written articles, but I can assure that those articles have been written with heart and soul and they will be written in the same manner, for the only thing that matters: to bring truth to light and to get our community stronger!
      I have it in the signature, but I feel the need to write it again: "Freedom of speech is the concept of the inherent human right to voice one's opinion publicly without fear of censorship or punishment! "
      So guys, feel free to judge me, to reply in NewsPaper, to like or dislike my articles! Feel free and speak truth, I will always appreciate it and I will do my best to write the truth down for our community. 
      Best Regards, 
      Your Reporter, the one that OldSquad Community has at this moment!
