That's why preps are important imo. I could have been there had I known we'd be pking at that time but since there wasn't an event posted I made other plans and couldn't get home in time. I'm sure others are in the same boat. We can pull pretty well, as we've been doing it a lot, but I think most people need that notice these days.
Yeah when we know there's a high possibility of a fight breaking out like this and plan for it I think we'd be in a much better situation. I couldn't make it home at all for this either but I saw the telegrams.

We've historically pulled poorly on Sat and Friday nights...
This all seems to circle back to the endless "be smart" topics...
Pretty much. I don't know that we need to avoid them all together, but we do need to know the situation we're in as always.

Numbers were a problem today, and have been for the past month or so. We really need to start recruiting or we will start to become a laughing stock.
I actually don't think it's been that bad as of late. Against CT we gained pretty quickly and swept them out with like 38 people. It's just the fact that much of our competition is getting 50+. If we get anything more than 40 that's usually a good number for a random highlight/telegram. I remember plenty of times when it'd be tough to get 25 people on, much less the numbers we're getting now. Recruiting is always a big thing but we're not in the worst situation right now.

Wasn't there, too late and as it's already been pointed out the fight shouldn't have happened. The average age of our clan members is a lot higher than others, so Friday and Saturday nights are usually a no go, period. Likewise early GMT fights.
I imagine a lot of people were already out drinking or dead asleep by the time this kicked off. Just kind of bad timing on a weekend.
You win some, you lose some. I look forward to running into these guys again. Especially after we put in work with CT the other day and Rev has been beefing with them. Would be nice to knock them off their high horse.
