I cant believe i missed out on all the fun though.
Yeah, it was a bit of a bummer that more people weren't on. We definitely could've taken them on, had we had the numbers.
I learned a few things though.
1.) If you can't get a clear shot from a guard tower, don't try and crouch through the windows. 90% of the time, you'll get killed.
2.) Guard towers should have windows at the bottom so you can shoot the people that are trying to hide from your plane of view.
3.) When doing a big raid, make sure to bring sleeping bags and set them up all around the raiding location. Allows you to spawn and come back as soon as you die. (Bring multiple bags and place them all around!)
4.) If you think you're going to die, don't open ANY doors thinking you'll be able to close it behind you. Just don't.
5.) If you get a particularly good loot, take it back to the mainbase rather than sticking around to try and fight. If you have that much loot and we make it back to home base, we've already won the battle. There's no need to get yourself killed and lose it all. (Which.. .is what I did..
)
The one thing that's really important, in my opinion, is try to not taunt or call out the people raiding. I know that this is contrary to what a lot of people enjoy, but I think it's counter productive.
1.) It lets them know that we are super hostile towards them.
- Which in the end, let's them know that we are probably going to raid them.
2.) If we act friendly, it gives them a false sense of security. They will probably think they're safe from our hoard. They're not.
3.) Killing them with kindness would usually get them to back off a little more, as opposed to annoying them.
- They won't be actively seeking out our members and such.
This morning, I got on for about 10 minutes and saw that Cookie was online. I talked to them about last night. Jokingly/humorously mentioned that "Rome was built in a day and fell in a day... ALL BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS!" and we started talking. I told them that they were really good shots and that last night was an intense firefight. He agreed, told us that we were really good too and thanked us for the intense battle.
Now, for all he knows, it sounds like I'm on good terms with him when I'm really not. This might have zero effect on our raid... but it's still a lot better than actively taunting them and letting them know we are hostile. (At least, this is my opinion of it.) If you guys think differently, please say so.
Anyway, whatever the case, I think I found the tower that allmadeup was talking about. It's a three-four story building across from Two Tanks. there is one metal door to the home that's surrounded by 2 spikewalls. This may be the house of the Cookie. I've requested more information from PTC and I'm hoping to be able to confirm it tonight.
We've got a common enemy to go after. Let's get our act together and reclaim our dignity!!!
The next few things we really have to do is...:
1.) Amass resources. We no longer have wood. It seems that all of it was spent on our Roman home. I know some people think it was a bad idea, but I think the majority of us had a lot of fun with it. So, I say resources well spent. Plus, they didn't take it over. All of our doors are still ours. (Or at least it seems so. Damonott may need to check to make sure they're not "unlocked")
- We need resources. We need C4. If anybody gets on Rust today, I'd really really really appreciate it if you just spent sometime gathering wood, metal and sulfur. I know our group would really be thankful for that. It's a terrible chore, but just a necessary component of the game. Especially considering we now have a huge target to go after.
2.) Scout them out. We need to make sure we know where their base is. It's still unconfirmed whether or not the Two Tanks base is theirs. In my opinion, it seems a little small to be theirs, but who knows. Maybe it is.
- When scouting, don't ask where they live via global chat. I think I'd like for surprise to be on our side. If you disagree with this, feel free to post about it as I'd like to know what you think.
3.) Don't be reckless. Let's try to stay as incognito as possible. No mention of Cookie and his crew at all. We should be invisible to them for the next few days. And even after the raid, don't take credit. Leave it be. No need to whip our dicks out and tell the world "WE RAIDED COOKIE. COME RAID US AND TAKE OURS AND HIS STUFF!" But again, if you disagree with this as well, please post. I'd rather have a good discussion on things than have people upset at not taking certain actions!
Anyway, this post turned out way longer than I intended it to be.
I hope we do some good work in the next few days guys. We can do it!
