OJ's RD Kills #3

So this weekend has brought a lot more PvP to Red99.  Nihilum and Red Dawn have been having raid v raid fights every few days for 2 weeks now.  It started with horrible wipes for Red Dawn in SolB then Hate without killing anyone, then Hate again but they killed 2 that time.  RD has been improving and now they are even winning fights!  They haven't been able to win in such a way that they can control the zone and take the spoils, but they have won 2 battles now and thats a huge step up from total wipes.

Nagafen is up in SolB early on a Saturday afternoon.  A skeleton crew of Nihilum is dispatched to slay him.  A slaughter ensued, Nihilum was wiped, but not before finishing and looting Nagafen.  A victory for both sides.  Then came Lady Vox, Red Dawn got there first and set up one of the best ambushes I've seen a group set up on this server.  Red Dawn had more numbers than Nihilum at both fights, but not more levels and gear. 

Red Dawn's ambush went something like this:  1 set of eyes in Everfrost warning of Nihilum impending arrival, All the rest of RD inside Perma just beyond the first cave where it opens up into a large cavern.  On both sides as you enter there are obstructions to hide behind.  If you aren't careful, you can easily run past people hiding here like we did!  The part that suckered Nihilum in was Lite's brilliant move to call in shout Vox's AOE Roar, prompting Nihilum vent to chirp with choos of "They are fighting Vox! Rush King room!"

So we rush King room and its a bluff!  RD attacks the center of the Nihilum line as half of us are beyond them and half behind.  We are totally split and retreat to zoneline with casualties.  The zoneline is pushed and lost, the survivors seek the hidden cave for refuge.

And so went Red Dawn's 2 biggest victories to date.  They were forced to cede the Permafrost zoneline in the next hour as Nihilum got re-organized and made another push.  Nihilum took control of the zone, killed Lady Vox, and granted Red Dawn loot n scoot privelages.

So Congrats to RD for 2 victories in battle, and good luck turning those victories into zone control and spoils.  And congrats to Nihilum for still winning the wars, wiping up the pvp when it counts, and slaying the dragons.

Below are screenshots from the pvp against RD over the last 3 days, I got a lot more kills and I haven't died again yet, so +9 and -0 if you are keeping count.  

 Ruban bottom right of screen, Brennard and Sootwulf giving chase, Brennard peeled kaPOW.

Brainz caught jerkin it in KC.  Log off for that crap your gross.

 Brainz gang banged hard during a lot of back n forth pvp in DL vs RD.

 Oddjob doin it alone, 1v6, Ezpk down to DoT's, at the same time as Brennard down to Nukes, all right in front of Maniaco and getting nuked by Sickpuppy.  Lite and Omega also in their group.

 Curse, former Nihilum, started by pelling me while I was banking in Rivervale.  Shire defended.

 Ezpk + bardspeed = big balls.  Castration by Tstaff.  Now a steer.  Renian and Nizzar on the assist.

 Lite blown up amongst 5 of his best friends.  3v6 wiped them all.  Kudos to Renian and Necrious.

 Sickpuppy down 1v1, found his bind above KC, bound there myself, now I visit him often.  That's 6 Sickpuppy kills now, with zero deaths to him.

 Sootwulf in a GvG fight in Seb.  It was hectic.

Thanks for the good times Nihilum and for putting up a fight Red Dawn.  Red 99 is doing great because of people on both sides.
