Hey all,
I won't be playing much this weekend. Going camping! Good luck everyone!

Beast1970

Have fun Jim, see you when you get back!

Beast1970

Ok, the strangeness of Hollowpoint Kiss is now over, first PVP with "true healing", and we will have to see if that was the impetus for the low overall scores. We finished 81st as an alliance with 13659 points, and were rewarded with Daredevil red, 1000 ISO, and 50 HP. Our overall score was higher than the last event, with a lower ranking confusing what most of us saw in our brackets for top scores. We will see what happens in the next PVP. Individual scores as follows:

Beast1970 - 1025
Jim1200 - 1011
PorkBelly - 915
Ratfink845 - 891
seanarmstrong - 868

Beast1970

Blind Justice is done, jury is still out on scoring effect of true healing. Most saw lower scores in their brackets, but the top few in mine were still over 1100. We finished 64th as an alliance with 13254 points. We were rewarded with Punisher red, 1000 ISO, and 50 HP for our efforts. Just to put our effort in some perspective, we were 64th out of 22633 alliances all competing in a single bracket, not too shabby. Individual scores as follows:

Beast1970 - 977
seanarmstrong - 912
Jim1200 - 907 (pretty good while camping)

Beast1970

Dark Avengers: Heroic is history. Congrats to the four members that reached the 100K She-Hulk progression reward, my sympathies to those that fell just short, I have felt your pain before as well. We finished 137th as an alliance earning 1500 ISO and 50 HP. Individual stats to follow, with a special shout out for PorkBelly. His score was obtained from just 24 hours of playing this event!

Good luck to you and your phone! Thanks for letting us know about your situation, hope it is a quick and inexpensive fix, or if not, enjoy your upgrade... See you when you get back!

Hey everyone!

I'm new to the alliance (thought far from a new player of the game) and looking forward to playing well with y'all and having fun with the game.

Incidentally, in game my id is FOAD.

Let's have fun!

jim1200

Welcome foad! Glad to have you as a part of our group!

Here we go with Trial by Combat results. We finished 72nd as an alliance with 12359 points, better this time. Lower overall score was also affected by solesoulsorrow's broken phone, missing his normal 800-900 point contribution. We were rewarded with Loki purple, 1000 ISO, and 50 HP. Individual scores to follow:

Beast1970 - 914
PorkBelly - 908

For tracking purposes, our Season III rank is 78 right now, which should be pretty accurate as there was no overlap between the PVP's this time. Six more days, we need to hang in there to get the next Nick Fury reward!

Next up is God of Lies, in which the rewards will be Falcon. Good luck out there and see you in the chat!

Unknown

First off Beast1970 is busy with work so I decided to post our results from God of Lies, thankfully this one is finally over.

The alliance finished 81st with a combined team score of 13,491 points, over a thousand points better this time but we were lower in alliance ranking overall. This has to be because the scores jumped much like they did at the end of Season II. We were rewarded with Falcon blue, 1000 ISO, and 50 HP. Individual scores to follow:

entrailbucket - 953
Jim1200 - 950
White1 - 930
seanarmstrong - 913
PorkBelly - 907
pbrownusmc - 840
Deatheacher - 751
Beast1970 - 736
solesoulsorrow - 735

ashish.utd - 357
Vizix - 336
seaninut - 70

We are currently 76th for Season III with 3 and a half days to go until the end of the season.

Next up is Top Gun with the "rewards" being Ragnarok.

Beast1970

Top gun has drawn to an end, and shown us the support potential of the Falcon. We finished 97th as an alliance with 12593 points, falling almost 1000 points from the last event. Thanks to those of you that put in the last minute push to put us back in top 100 territory. We were rewarded with Ragnarok red, 1000 ISO, and 50 HP. Individual scores to follow:

seanarmstrong - 1121 (nice job on first in alliance, as well as gaining the 1100 point reward)
Beast1970 - 934
Jim1200 - 913
entrailbucket - 910
PorkBelly - 900 (scraping for that token)
pbrownusmc - 870
Bobby Digi - 806
Deatheacher - 715
ashish.utd - 638
Kuangster - 609

Ratfink845 - 403
FOAD - 345
Vizix - 335
seaninut - 253
solesoulsorrow - 35 (can't wait until your phone is fixed)

Next up is Krakadoom! featuring Ragnarok, of course. Rewards will be 500 ISO, uh, I mean IM40. This is the last event for Season III, in which we are currently ranked 76th. In addition to this event, please don't forget Shield training. If you haven't maxed out your rewards there, you shouldn't need many skips to find match ups worth 50 points a pop, giving you an easy way to dramatically boost your season score and help the Alliance rank. As an example, I did 5 matches there tonight, adding almost 250 points to my total and boosting my overall season standing from #50 to #41. Expect some movement in Shield, but if you make sure you fight way above your score (which will happen if you choose matches worth close to 50 points), the chance for retaliations is slim, and if they happen, the amount of points you lose is very small. I was hit with one yesterday, I lost 2 points when someone with 1700 points attacked my team with 980 points. Do the math, I'll take that any day.

The Simulator is also over, and I currently don't see a standings tile. If one pops up, I'll throw up another post, in the meantime, we were in the top 100 earning us the Human Torch Johnny Storm green, which will surely be a required cover for an upcoming event. Congrats to those that got all the covers, and for entrailbucket, here is your reason to keep grinding, another incomplete character for your roster! I can't help but notice you are missing some one star cards as well, get hot!

Good luck out there and see you in the chat!

Beast1970

And Krakadoom! is over, last event in Season 3. We finished 95th as an alliance with 12336 points, another drop in points from the last event. Once solesoulsorrow's phone situation is fixed, that should add about 800 more points to the total. We were rewarded with IM40 red, 1000 ISO, and 50 HP. Individual scores to follow:

Jim1200 - 1046 (damn you, I thought I had you there)
Beast1970 - 1012
seanarmstrong - 885

Next up is Heavy Metal, we were given a one hour break so I'll have to update the rewards later. Good luck out there and see you in the chat!

Beast1970

Season III has drawn to a close. We finished 86th out of 26025 alliances with a total of 189914 points. For our efforts, we were rewarded with Nick Fury yellow, 500 ISO, and 25 HP. Individual scores to follow:

I assume there will be a season IV, but no announcement as of yet.

Beast1970

Heavy Metal is now over, and was not part of any season at all, much to the shock of most people. We finished 76th as an alliance with 13319 points, it was obvious that solesoul's phone is all better, and a significant number of our members wanted the rewards, which were Lazy Daken black, 1000 ISO, and 50 HP. Individual scores were as follows:

PorkBelly - 1077
Beast1970 - 1007
Jim1200 - 1007
White1 - 902 (should have gotten 5 more points there)
Spanntastic12 - 769

Bobby Digi - 721

Deatheacher - 677

entrailbucket - 443
seaninut - 388

Next up is Balance of Power, in which rewards will be Psylocke. Just ask solesoulsorrow how he likes her!

We have some expectations within the alliance to have the ability to rely on finishing in the top 100 routinely. To accomplish this, we need participation from all members, such that we won't need to shield hop at the last minute to maintain that status. We think a reasonable expectation for each member in PVP should be around 600 points on a regular basis. Again, some will occasionally be unable to meet that due to other commitments, and all we ask is a quick note to let us know, or better yet a post here, so we can plan on compensating. Some of you may have noticed a small infux of new members. This was in large part replacing those that gave the appearance of coasting along picking up the alliance rewards without any meaningful contribution to multiple events. Others have been low on a few events and sent PMs to the commanders prior to the lower scores to let us know of real life conflicts, and were easily retained. We don't want to have a rotating membership like some other alliances, and don't want to become participation Nazis, which is why 600 was agreed upon as achievable regularly without superhuman effort, and enough that when added to the heavy hitter scores will easily maintain us in top 100 or better range.

We also desire all to participate in PVE events. Again, we have enough grinders out there that we don't need everyone to hit all nodes every 2.5 hours. What we do want is a clear of the essential nodes maybe twice a day, which coincidentally will more than likely keep you in personal top 100 range as well. Some members may not be able to work into the range to obtain newly released covers on personal scores, but if everyone was to contribute to PVE, that again plus the grinder's scores should enable the alliance to score a cover each PVE. Realize we are mostly talking about completing one attack on three nodes about twice a day, so six fights. Rubberbanding works well to help this along. I've been using that strategy mostly this PVE and have cleared all progression rewards 12 hours prior to the event ending.

Last thing for this rambling post, I'd like to just throw out the reminder that we want this alliance to be friendly and fun. I understand there has been some frustration with the lower scoring members lately, and rightly so. I would just ask that you keep it private in form of PM's to the commanders. Some might have valid reasons they have already spoken to us about, some might just be slackers, but it isn't necessarily good to drop a slamfest in the middle of the chat. Do not misinterpret, I am not saying shut up and color, and we welcome the PM's as some of you have already done. I just want to keep the public areas clean and fun. We will respond to your PMs, and most of the time you will find we are already taking action. When we decide to replace someone, we will always line up the replacement before removing the offender, so it may seem as if we are not acting, but we also want to try to find the best fit for long term membership, not just the first easy person we can get to join. Anyhow, this is too long already. I welcome any discussion here regarding anything other than White1's obvious mismanagement of his event score.

Good luck out there and see you in the chat!

jim1200

Thanks for the post Beast! I was in a couple of alliances prior to this and hands down this is the best. I appreciate that you guys as commanders care about how we perform as a group. You guys are doing a great job! Keep it up!
