Arena of Honor

‘’The team is not ready? Why?’’

What started as a calm Sunday morning immediately became the exact opposite upon entering GOT, seeing that our team for the Arena was not ready. We had only one empty spot on the team and many on the waiting list. Even those who were already in had not confirmed that they could participate in the 3rd match.In simple terms, everything was a mess.

Our leader Mac for one more time had forgotten to check who will play or not.This was not the first time. In previous match had happen again exactly the same thing and i had asked him not to do that again. Unfortunately we were facing the same issue. As much as I wanted to stay relaxed and calm , I couldn't. On the other hand Mac was totally relaxed which made me more upset and angry.

Why is the team not ready? What did I ask you last time?

Relax Azu, I will fix it.

I was checking the time we had before registration ended and nothing was ready. It was time for me to step up and fix this.I started to ask my team players who were already in the team if they would participate or not.

Most of them were available. As it seems we didn't have only one spot free but 3. It was time for me to start asking players who were usually playing with us , like Lucky and Tavanic. Thankfully replied fast , who will be the last one. ThisIsPlus one of our team suggested we ask Wellerman from our alliance. He was looking for a team. At first I was happy that we had found such an easy replacement , a good account and also an alliance member. Entering the team , we noticed that his score was high. Alex was the first who noticed it.

The team score is a bit high. We will not have an easy map.

I know but we have strong accounts we can try.

Let's not get discouraged, we will try for the best as always.

No matter how much I was worried about the outcome, I kept it to myself. We shouldn't have started the match with the feeling of failure. Time will tell.

The team was ready, only 3 minutes for the matchmaking. It was time to all join discord. Our shotcallers for today were Alex and Mac.

3.. 2..1…

Time to enter on the map. Last minute check and we are ok. As always not the one of the first who are entering. It is something ceremonial for me. Always the last.

This time we were the Lannister team

The Stark team was from a HD! Alliance.

And last was the Targaryen team , a mixed team of some known strong players. Especially Jasper who is one of our friends.

What do you think?

Was my question to our shotcallers.

It will not be easy but we will try. Lets go offensive as a start and after we can decide. Wellerman will try for Glorious City.

Good luck everyone. Let's go!!!!

Instructions had been given from our leaders, they were clear and we all knew what to do. Just needed to be faster than others on Strongholds.

All marches had been sent out for reinforcements.

Our first attack on Baratheon House had launched, that was the moment Alex told me to get ready to send a lord expedition on the Castle when we will occupy it.

Now you are telling me? All my marches are out .

Recall one, fast.

Why is it always me? I don't like being trapped in a Castle.

I was so sad with that decision.I like to be free to hit and run on Altars. Even if I'm not so strong, I like the hunting on this event. But I needed to follow the plan.

Okkkkkk, not happy about that ;(

Then I noticed that someone else who had sent faster than me , was Tavanic.

Tavanic is in!!!!

What? Why?

Not my fault. Even if I'm happy with that.

Ok lets keep him there for the moment but be ready to change with him if we need him on the Glorious City

Ok , I will.

My first reaction was to say, yessss I'm free. Everyone laughed about it. Because everyone knows that I don't like to stay in a Castle. Also they knew that I was still pissed off with Mac , so they were trying to keep me happy and calm. As im the only female in the team most of the time my guys are trying there best to keep me happy 😂

Meanwhile we noticed that Stark House had occupied the Greyjoy clan castle but the Targaryen team still didn't get the Baratheon. It was a chance for us to go for it. Our first line on Strongholds was infantry offensive camps

On the second we decide to go for Cavarly

Altars had opened, the race to have as many as we could had started, that was our goal after all. Most of the time wasn't easy as it proved.

My first hit on an Altar had failed. Against my friend Jasper.

I lost against Jasper.

Send him a message.

I did it and he is laughing , hahaha.

It wasn't the first time we had faced each other in the Arena and I'm always losing against him.

The process is known every time this happens. I send the report crying to Jasper and he responds laughing with a 'sorry'.

But we still like each other that can't change from a report. It is fun teasing each other especially when we are playing against each other.

Next try was against again on a strong player

This time I had decided to make a rally or i didn't have any chance to win.

I WONNNN, I WONNNN!!!!

Are you making your victory dance Azu?

Of course i do , ha ha ha.

As we had predicted after taking the Watch Towers we could also have the Baratheon Castle.

The plan was working perfectly so far for us. The only issue now was that we had more work to do. Everything was on 3.

3 Clan Castles

3 Sept of the Seven

3 Mines and a lot of Strongholds to occupy and change.

Everyone was so busy at some point we didn't even have the time to talk to each other. The moments of silence were often. Until the Glorious City will open.Tasks had splitted between the team.

Some were recharged for NPC building like Sept and Strongholds. Some for Altars and Dragonpits etc. The only thing left now was the GC.

Time had come…. Glorious City was seconds before it opens…

Wellerman, get ready to attack.

Go Go Go ….

Reinforce fast. All of you , come on move guys.

Our shotcallers were yelling that moment. It was so important for us not to lose it. Since we knew that if we didn't manage to keep it will be very hard to take it back. Defence was the best option for us at that moment.

Rallies were coming again and again. We needed to keep it for one more minute and after that it was ours.

We had left everything else and we were focused only on that. Was our main priority at this moment.

We are good. Refresh your troops on the Glory City and try to get back the Altars we lost.

A deep breath and some relaxed moments from everyone when we notice that GC was on the bubble. 3 minutes of peace wasn't bad.

But time is passing so fast in this event if you have noticed. After bubble dropped the rallies was ready to attack us again

Be ready to reinforce the GC again.

Our shotcallers were checking who needed to refresh troops. The time between rallies was so close to each other, every single change must happen fast.One by one we were hearing our name when it was time to refresh troops. 

Recall-Heal-Send back -speed speed -in

That was the process for everyone.

Meanwhile Mine shafts were open.

Will we go for mines?

If you have troops free, go for it.

As many points as we can get is good for us.

We didn't manage to take much there but we tried.

Since it was so close for the match to end and our score was secured from other teams we thought it was fair to let some points for others too.

I can't believe it. We did it!!!!

Yes, it was a good match. Having 3 Clan Castles and Glory City ?

It was awesome. Good job everyone.

Only 2 minutes had left but for us the game was over. Only some of us were still hitting for the personal points on Elimination. As for me, I had stopped. It was time to enjoy the victory and nothing else.

If you asked me if I was still pissed off with Mac , of course I was.

Mac, next time we have Arena in 2 weeks. Be ready or I will….
