get back to your official Graal forums study group
come back when you realize US existed since 2000 or 2001 and they only migrated to UN when it was the only server left

What is US known for? Besides UN sparring and iClassic GST?

and for the 2000 part

I remember reading a comment from a current US member saying how he used to troll US because they were lame, prior to Rufus taking over. If I can find it I will post it.

listening to gossip from players who weren't even around back then is not how you get accurate information
dunno why any of you even care about what happened on PC Graal, it's completely irrelevant

Everyone from graal PC knows US wasn't anything in PC graal and none of their members were relevant outside of UN. Their whole recognition is based on beating idevice kids in a GST in iGraal. Alumni is an iGraal guild. The problem is that you're making arguments about old PC graal in a iGraal world. None of these idevicers care how lame these dudes were in PC graal. They care about what is happening in iGraal. You will not win against these weak idevice ass kissers.

The only way to shut them up is by beating them in the GST or trolling them

Here's my post that the ****** deleted, but you can find it in crono's post. I brought it up to help mr warhawk understand that this is not PC graal. If I was obsessed with something I would bring it up myself. Just like what I replied to aero. I help people understand things not obsess over small stuff.



Edit: So qes goat and warhawks posts were deleted and david crono and thallens posts were left alone. Beautiful bias moderation at its best. GJ ****** lol

My money is on BTK, and the biggest reason is that I single handedly own all of Alumni, do great against Apostles, and I'm in BTK. Any more reason needed?

Gst isn't only about individual skill but also about teamwork ... If you believe you will win gst with that sort of mentality then I'm afraid you will be greatly disappointed .

GotenGraal 02-21-2016 01:30 AM

You guys do realize if Alumni wins one of these Gsts they will have 9 wins... US has 11 wins... Alumni needs to win both or lose both this season, otherwise all of Classic is screwed.

Jack {A} 02-21-2016 01:44 AM

Mixed- 1st GTEAM, heard leader is pro so he could carry em all the way.
2nd Enguard, have alot of former Alumni so they can do it. Thallen is sub from what I heard.
3rd Mother, apparently Crimewatcher is on it so he could 1v5.

iDev- 1st Iron Banner, bet GRVTY idk who could beat these guys.
2nd US, heard Shiden and Juggs will be coming back to 2v5 but not good enough to beat Iron Banner.
3rd Focus, full of old legends, very talented.

Spoiler tag because this is off-topic and irrelevant in the year 2016:
Spoiler
I was probably 11-13, so I'm not going to pretend to know every single thing about the guild...

A player named Gorthaur was the original leader, and it was totally different than the Rufus-led US. Classic/GTA was never crazy about sparring. It was more about PKing and events. US was constantly at guild forts PKing and having "wars" with other guilds. They were no fort hours or rewards. Winning just depended on whoever stayed at the fort the longest. They were always fighting Ventrue. Classic had this weird thing with vampire guilds.

People got old and moved on from Graal. Rufus eventually became leader, but there were still original members like Dehitay, Yump, DC, etc. It was still a Classic guild at the time. Eventually, Classic was removed from the serverlist and they moved to UN as a last resort. I wasn't active then, but I imagine that's where players like Brett, Ares, David, Stella, and others were picked up. At that point, PKing was not a thing so it was probably viewed as more of a spar-oriented guild.

http://www.angelfire.com/ms2/society/
I doubt that works on phones, but there's proof of the existence long before they cared about UN.

Sorry but these newcomers (prodigys) seem like a pretty tight team, they beat alumni,Elysian, and silver up at belle...the leader is scar and I think they got a good chance

Then again not all of alumni/Elysian cores were all on but most of them were on for sure

oh red this is your forum account? makes sense now. I don't believe I'm the best I think I'm pretty good though, i believe a lot in series sparring compared to most people. I haven't hated on people using a pc since 2013 back when i complained about EVERYTHING because i hated losing so bad. you gotta chill out with talking about things you don't know. atlas when i talk about things i don't know, like client sparring, i reference other people.

Never said they were. What I said is that none of their members were relevant outside of UN. Lets not try to act like you guys had a reputation in PC graal. The main recognition the guild has is from iGraal and not PC. Am I wrong?

US was very relevant on Classic well before UN. Once Classic was basically dead, other members moved to UN. It had pretty good sparring potential after some folks from Cherry joined, but sparring was never the main focus of the guild. It def had a different level of recognition on iClassic, but its impact (well, impact from its members) goes beyond just sparring both on PC and iServers.

Baddies, US, and Ventrue are probably the 3 most important guilds from PC Graal

This is just another off topic discussion about something that is all based on biased opinions. Not to mention I think asking people from that/my timeline would make the most sense but probably still be biased too.

To be clear, sparring was actually a real thing we did before 2001 too, not just C style, and to anyone who suggests otherwise was either inactive in '99 or didn't play then.

I guess for some reason people think using arrows can actually evolve tremendously. Most notable discovery of sparring was the ability to strife.

A lot of people left Graal when it went pay to play (p2p). We lost a lot of amazing sparrers around that time PLUS when me and my incredible team (especially James205) made Shaded Legend in 2001 we took the majority of the active sparrers to that server and the others spread out to all the other server choices.

Fun fact too, Baddies was one of the original Guilds on Graal in the 1st year of release. Venture vamps (my good friend Goth made it) came out in late '99 i believe maybe early 2000, and US I want to say 2001 to 2003 sometime. Looking at the guild creations on the global guild list is useless as we used to have a local Guild Admin who would manually upload names and create tags directly on the server. Finally, the guild site changed 2-3 times too so the guilds had to be remade as we remade the url to Graal.

rickclops 02-21-2016 10:52 PM

I thought Gorthaur was the original leader of US for years, I barely remember him though. But I did more recently find a US guild page that showed a guild leader before Gorthaur. I'll look for it again sometime.

If you take GST wins and UN sparring out of the equation would what you posted make them worth mentioning today? I probably made a bad choice of words by using relevant since PC graal has always been a small community and thus making it easier for a guild to be relevant on a server with less than 10 active guilds.

Don't really know how to reply since I'm reading it and what I'm getting is basically what I said. If you ask anyone PC or idevice about US I would almost guarantee that the only thing they would bring up is those 2 things. To the impact thing, whatever (for example) your impact was as a level guy is not going to be credited to the guild, or at least I wouldn't credited to the guild.

rickclops 02-22-2016 12:08 AM

I don't get what GOAT is expecting out of a guild. If they're best at something they're good. Do they need to be a charity who support Graal orphans? What are you expecting out of a video game guild?

Not to throw gas on the fire but I think experienced sparrers who know how to play with delay and skipping bring so much randomness to the fighting. Ghosting through people, hitting people from yards away. I'm aware that these things are simply because the person did hit or dodge you and it just shows up weird for the other players, but there you have it.

Arguable if its an advantage, in my opinion its ridiculous though, but I'm not the best sparrer or guildsparrer so not a big authority on the subject.

Don't agree that they should be banned, at least in the cases where it seems legit, like Sarah. Haven't seen a single person from Europe, even on iDev, behave like Dae does in game, but maybe its just one of those things.

EDIT: Side note: those were some good spars vs Alumni, I liked it except the endgame.

Agreed to an extend... Also they're pretty useless for the start of the GS since they're so laggy that they can't even help their team mates out if they're getting teamed... So you guys should use that to your advantage...Also if they're laggy on your screen that means you're lagggy on theirs.

But I wouldn't mind seeing a lag cap because I think the way Kosma and Clops describe it is that it was teleporting...which is like crazy as hell and insanely hard to hit.

In regards to Sarah I think she delays more than lag because her movements are normal...just predict her.

I wish I recorded. I am not complaining but it was pretty terrible today, it wasn't even sparring. I had fun sparring them but to say you don't see the problem is a pretty ridiculous statement.

Yeah I editted my post before you posted your reply because I didn't read what Kosma said. But yeah there should be a lag limit...I thought it was just minor lag similar to aboods...but you guys describe it like it's a lot worse so idk i guess i'd have to be there to judge. But #LagLimitPlease

Best way I can describe it was they both moved like this (along with ghost hits) -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJyIvVPS0eI

Oohh if it's like that then I think they'd be DQ'd at GST. The rule is if you are frozen and cannot be hit then you get DQ'd I think (well that's what one of the admins told me).

Yeah if it's like that you can't really predict...my bad I misunderstood the scale of the lag you guys were referring to.

Wtf you are complaining about that rare time I'm lag spiking when there are 4K+ on?? I'm sure I'm not the only one lagging when 4k are on and you are talking as if I lag 24/7. Spar me when less are on I don't even lag, wish I could record but I'm not jail broken anymore though I uploaded plenty of videos of myself sparring and I wasn't lagging. Btw if you see someone lagging it's reciprocal. If it wasn't a practice spar I wouldn't have joined if I lagged.

No one is complaining people are saying if its like that at gst it shouldnt be allowed. You were lagging really really bad and people have the right to be vocal about it. It becomes a game where you dont know how you won or how you lost which isnt even sparring at that point.

For me he's been skipping for weeks, but yeah the server itself been real ****ty the past day or two, I'm not basing my comment on one practice spar. I was just answering the question Striken asked. Whether it's me or Dae skipping was beside my point.

rickclops 02-22-2016 01:26 AM

Everyone who says they know how to hit Sarah loses to her.
On paper lag should make hitting difficult for laggers and their opponents, but some laggers can tank with almost full health through matches and hit everyone else around like they're ping pong balls.

No one is going to be dq'd, it'd just be really anti-climactic to have an unhittable lagger team in finals. They've always taken some fun out of tournaments.

Also the 4k comment isn't fully true.

Thallen 02-22-2016 01:58 AM

Had Sarah and Dae known that there would be 10 forum posts criticizing them if they were laggy, I'm sure they'd have tested their ping before the spars
If the conspiracy theory is that they were intentionally lagging, I don't understand why you think they'd do that in these random practice spars

Other than that:
  1. Admins can see the ping of each player during GST spars
  2. There is a rule against excessive lagging so no one wants to do it
  3. I've subbed out people for their lag before

People talk about stuff, that's how things work. If SL lagged like that people would do the same thing.

It also doesn't help Alumni = GST champs
