It has been a long time since I last wrote here. I don't feel like writing because I felt so left out after my friends started leaving one by one. But as a "leader", I have to finish what I started and move on with the ones left. It was hard as we (AF) were left with very few people as the other ones has left due to a lot off issues in the faction.
So what do we have left? 25-40 People online on CW, around 30 active people on regular grinding hours till the wee hours of the day. It saddens me to see everyone go and there's not much of new blood coming in. But adeptas needs to stand tall no matter what. Despite every adversary our faction has been in, we've always moved on.
The lastest hump on the road was the issue of me quitting. For all those people there who knew nothing bout it and just whined and whined that "why the hell didn't you quit Welling?", you sure know nothing but play. Could it be the pressure as a leader? maybe. Friends leaving and me being left behind? maybe. But for whatever reason its now, I sure am staying now thanks to my adeptas family who knocked some sense into me by saying that quitting is not the way. So for the record, I ain't quitting.
As for recent updates, Eclipse still remains as our closest friends. We may have not fought wars together or side by side but we stuck by each other even on the worst situations. We've fought so many challenges from the likes of reborn, eden and ethereal. We were once at least a trinity with ethereal but an outburst changed the wind's direction. We were clobbered badly while ethereal was left unscathed. This triggered an uprising from the other factions together with eclipse whereas on that particular CW, we weren't supposed to go to war. But as a leader and your attendance (44 that night, the highest in months) that good plus your people urging you to go to war, you can't help but do something about it. So I warred supper since our previous colonies were owned by them at that time. After the war, the map was evenly distributed as Eden, Eclipse, AF and Ethereal had 4 apiece and revolution has 1. The next week, ethereal got back at eclipse and AF was at the receiving end of tons of people from 5 factions. With 33 people online, it was mission impossible. We ended up with no colonies while eclipse was left with 1. I've taken so much already sacrificing for friendships that brought my people no good. So for once, I had to stand up for something I believe is right for my people. We ripped ethereal off together with several factions but 30 mins left in the war, shades of the past happened. Eden launced a sneak attack on us out of nowhere and we Almost lost our 3 colonies but thanks to our last minute stand, we hanged on. After all the commotion, I learned that good friend and competitor IsDope got banned. People may have so much hatred on ethereal and what they stand up for but I do admire their power and trust for each other; something we once had but due to some circumstances, now only stands as a dream.
For better or worst, I will hang on. We will hang on. Viva Adeptas!

Caravaggio Status Update
Reborn's gone. Factions wiped off the map and now only three left standing tall... At the moment that is.
Last night's Colony wars was a wake up call for the other players in the server. The trinity of Eclipse (led by Wooot), Ethereal (led by IsDope) and my faction AdeptasFraternas was successful in its first stint together as allies. The whole caravaggio map was printed all over with our names. But this current standpoint might not last long with the emergence of EdeN as a caravaggio powerhouse and another brewing faction from the remnants of ReBorn and VIE and some possible merging ideas. CW is dying and the only way to revive it is by cooking up something new. I'm sure hardcore players who want action will find a way to resuscitate the wars in Caravaggio. To whatever is coming our way, the Trinity will stand ready for the challenge.
Viva Caravaggio~

Politics: A long awaited post.
Caravaggio politics has been on close call to the public lately. Yes it is colorful. Yes it is blinding at times. For the first time last night, factions were united as one for a common cause: to take down the dominating force. If this was the case in the past for the other servers, why not caravaggio? It's simple. All the remaining factions in the server are led by elite players who were friends all along. Taking a look at the competitive factions left, here's a breakdown:
AdeptasFraternas: Welling (ZeroTolerance->Unholy->AF)
Symphony: Demesne (Symphony)
Eclipse: Wooot (theBARON->Luminaire->Eclipse)
ReBorn: WuDi (ReBorn)
EdeN: EsBell (TheCore->Exodus->Ethereal->EdeN)
Ethereal: IsDope (Anfractuous->theBARON->Luminaire->Ethereal)
Looking at this short recap, we may notice the storied past of the current leaders. They are all caravaggio elites who for sometime in the past, I'm so sure, were teammates on raids and on new stuff that were for first hand exploitation in the server (gerero, diablo, skelly dungeon). Friendships have gotten in the way of CW and because of that, the "action" everyone was looking for was missing. It was also a matter of pride and contentment with what they have. After seeing ethereal hold the most number of colonies on any server last week, we saw it trimmed down to 3 when everyone turned on them. What's the moral of this tale? No man is an island indeed. When people unite for a cause, anything is possible. Kudos to the factions who united to change the surface of CW and to ethereal too for surviving the onslaught. Now new light indeed is shed upon caravaggio.
Something to look forward to every Sundays from now on.

Colony Wars, National Tourney and some Updates!
Our team made it to the finals of the Granado Espada Phil Leg 5v5 liberty colisseum tourney. 8 teams will slug it out for the much coveted prize of being called the Philippine's finest. As much as I want to tell the tourney's story detail by detail, I was busy preparing for the CW yesterday that I forgot to write about the event. We ended up 4th and Arc's team won it. Congratulations to you guys!
I have a feeling that was a brief and boring recap XD
=================================================
This Sunday's CW was a little reminiscent of last week. My plan was the same (which is to attack Reborn with Eclipse) and get as much land as possible. I gathered our forces at auch chan 2 and gave out the valkyries to the squad leaders and gave my final notes in case a deja vu of last week's events occur. Minutes before the official start of the war, multiple factions declared war on ethereal, the most dominant faction in caravaggio, which included HeavyMachines, ReBirth, Azyr and Zodiac. As the war started, I instructed our squads to attack Topolo Durga and Rio Albi simultaneously (as eclipse attacked el lago). I was amazed that we got the colony in like 5 minutes time using high level and some grand level valkyries. A few minutes later, our desolate cliff colony was taken by reborn followed by our 2nd team conquering rio albi and eclipse taking el lago de tres hermanas.
An hour after the start of the war, eclipse and adeptas has been exchanging colonies with reborn as they took ours and we took theirs. Eventually, the major alliance between the 2 came into play as ethereal declared war on us as they helped reborn regain cliff and almost got el canon and katovic. Despite the amount of factions that declared war on ethereal, they lost none and even gained 1 more showing the whole caravaggio that they are dominant.
What could we expect on this week's CW? It's gonna be a long week ahead!
=================================================
Its good to know that we are 1 family in Adeptas as my pals were present on the GE event for our first non-official EB. We had fun the whole afternoon fooling around and talking bout stuff.
Animo Adeptas!

A Super Late Update!
weeeeeeeeeeeeee it's been a while my dear blog! how have you been?
Time to update!
====================================================
Adeptas fraternas, our faction, got 3 colony on our first CW which was the WORST i ever had because of the multiple glitches (faction and squad chat bugged, super lag in maps full of botters, declaration of war delays). The whole CW was topsy turvy as we attacked and attacked (due to lack of communication at times that had us ending up in ganking multiple colonies at the same time (which was not part of the plan). The lag should be fixed and those bots, the very least, be cleaned during the war. They've ruined the economy already and they are on the way to ruining our sunday delight (=,=)
====================================================
We joined the Rizal leg of the Philippine GE national tourney last September 14. With me in our five man team was Pinkzy, ·™, Hudiciaro and Riskbearer. We played a team full of blasters (love teh cheese!) composed of 4 elementalists, 3 musketeers, 2 wizards, 1 emilia and 5 scouts. There were 5 participating teams in the event (2 pachelbel, 1 caracci, 1 cervantes and 1 caravaggio). The format was one team gets a direct bye in the semis and is to await the winners of the 2 other pairings.
The original pairing was this one:
Red Horse (Caracci) v.s. Carnage (Cervantes)
Adeptas (Caravaggio) v.s. Exodus (Pachelbel)
LXB (Pachelbel) - outright semis.
1st Match: Exodus v.s. Red Horse
While we were waiting outside for the start of our official match, we were surprised to see exodus and red horse about to slug it out inside. We appealed that we were supposed to be in the matchup but to no avail since the characters we were supposed to play was already bankrupt of the alloted 50K vis for the consumables. We had no choice but to play carnage in the 2nd match. Exodus won that match and advanced to the single round robin of the eliminations via a quick win when they took control of the mid beacon and defeated the opponents with ease.
Exodus advances to the semis.
2nd Match : Adeptas v.s. Carnage
This match was one for the ages (the errors almost ruined it) as it was an all out slugfest for the win. Carnage's team was composed of nukers and some fighters that donned spears and shields while ours was pure parmesan. It was an all out war in the middle which we won. Whew!
Adeptas advances to the semis.
The semifinals was a single round robin affair. First team to win 2 games will be champ. It was a short lived finals because all our wins happened when we destroyed their beacons ASAP. Thus, we were declared champs and is to represent southern luzon for the Nats!
====================================================
We attended yesterday's commercial launch to represent cainta for the nationals. Events about yesterday's happening will be posted here later.
CW again tonight! cya~

Adeptas Fraternas : The Union of Souls
Welling with DeSanggria in GEOut of the ashes of our fallen pride, an alliance of vengeful yet wary people has emerged.
Meet Adeptas Fraternas, The brotherhood of adept who vows to bring some serious competition in the caravaggio scene. Our aim is to come up with a faction that is friendly, helpful but very much battle laden by nature.
With superb teamwork, we reached faction level 52 on the same day we made the faction. Kudos to everyone and to those who helped us!

A Day Off
Maintenance. A perfect way to liberate our minds from GE.
Temporarily that is.. LOL.
==========================================================
I was busy training my stances the past days and chit chatting with people a lot since there's no more faction chat to provide me with free entertainment once in a while. I admit the fact that I was really sad when I left Unholy. They've been my GE family for almost 2 months now (the first serious faction I got to) and I've got close friends there. But as much as I want to please everyone, it is not possible. I've reached my limits and that's it time to go.
I'm still willing to help the other guys with stuff. But returning is not a probability at the moment.
==========================================================
Shoutouts to good buddies beedee, crysal, friema, hudiciaro, muchachos and my soulmate desanggria. These people never left me when I was all alone after my dark hours. LOL! This shit's getting emo so Imma end it quick..
PLS SELL ME HQ SAPPHIRES AND RUBIES!
And yes! I was blogspotted!
