Gah, is it the second post on March???

After struggling most part of the day yesterday and heaving a deep sigh of relief after completing four out of five long laboratory reports which are due TODAY, I've decided to post up latest news on the blog. Just to release some stress before continuing on the last one.

Since I was not present on our first GRB this month, I don't really have much to write about it and this report is written based on what I heard so do forgive me if I got the facts wrong. There are actually new participation from our fellow angels such as J, Fred, Alma and Houndoom_Rec (Thanks a lot for ur participation!!) and Pops actually made a priestess for GRB named Aliana_Moon. LOL. Such a pretty name!!! By the end of it, the team was able to collect around 4k-5k points and unfortunately, after our earlier successful jump from no 36 to no 34 last two weeks, it was a huge dismay to us all to see that we failed to maintain our ranking at no 34 and fell back down to no 36.

After talking and discussing about it with some Archangels and Angels, all suggested that it is best for me to write down some guidelines about what do we expect from you when you join our GRB team so that we will work as a team more effectively.

• Turn off both your Normal Chat (NC) and Trade Chat (TC) when you have entered the Guild Management Office and at all the time for the latter. This will help to reduce lag from occuring and avoid you from disconnecting from the game.
• Follow our defender, Sayur's instruction at all time after GRB has started. Do allow him to taunt first before attacking and be alert of his signal. It is sometimes impossible to see it when he is surrounded by mobs so turn your NC back on and watch when the message, "Sayur declares a start gallantly" comes up on the chat box.
• It is best for you to join us on a lvl 15 HM mage or a lvl 15 HM priest to support the whole team as a damager or a healer. Other classes are welcome too.
• If you choose to become a lvl 15 HM priest, do act as a party healer instead of a damager since your water elemental aoe magic is ineffective against earth mobs anyway. Do not think a single healer is enough to heal the defender at all time.
• If you choose to become a lvl 15 HM mage, it is best for you to spam wind magic or earth magic (aoe spells) on the earth mobs around the dungeon. Fire magic is most effective against the boss since she is a wind elemental creature.
• Do watch out for respawn at all times!!! Go to a safe place while attacking and healing unless ure a melee class of course.
• Focus more on the battle instead of chatting on the GC and telling everyone about the total points we obtained or saying, "Go Go Go" all the time or something similiar to that as if that would help much. You are allowed to remind someone in party about the time limit, gives instruction or warning to someone based on situation.
• Waking up at 4 am in the morning can be very hard for some especially if they are sick or extremely tired. Try to be polite and extra sensitive of someone's feeling when chatting in GC cause some may not be as chatty and bubbly when they are sacrificing their sleep. LOL.
  
• Do not take other guildie's contribution in GRB for granted cause you'll never know the difference they have on the team until they're gone.
