The Guild of the Week for February 19th has been announced. Called "Mirror of Reason" [SNOW], the guild was founded in March of 2006:
SNOW was founded in March of 2006 by Nymph of Meliai and Sir Luther Valdamor. The two founders liked children's stories, particularly Hans Christian Anderson tales, so they took inspiration from "The Snow Queen." In the story, there is a frozen lake called "The Mirror of Reason" from which the guild gets its name. Mirror of Reason bases its guild lore on the traditional story, and is even listed in the Wikipedia article about Hans Christian Anderson's "Snow Queen."
PvP Game Discussion:
In GvG, SNOW likes to run balanced or Elementalist spike groups, although they've also experimented successfully with gank groups. Recently, the guild has been striving to master the "1,2,3, spike" countdown and teach their newer players the importance of voice-chat software.
SNOW cannot stress enough the importance of using voice software for PvP. Senior members inform recruits how to download the client program and teach them how to access the guild's voice-chat server. They also recommend pre-match practice in the Great Temple of Balthazar. Experienced PvPers often spend up to an hour preparing for the first GvG of the night to make sure they get the build and spike countdown just right. When the ladder is frozen, SNOW encourages all players take part. When the ladder is active, though, they take steps to protect the guild's rating.
When running a spike team, SNOW targets over-extended people first and keeps pressure on numerous enemies before the team leader calls a target to spike. This makes it difficult for opposing Monks to counter.
Congrats to [SNOW]!
