An open letter to iQ
Dear Sirs and Madams,
Last night, you engaged my guild in some GvG combat. As soon as I saw the tag iQ paired with BUS, I knew my guild didn't stand a chance. I told them who and what you were, and that we should continue to fight in our fun loving way. After the beating your guild gave us, I was left surprised, and overall feeling great. You see, unlike most guilds we've fought, you guys weren't sanctimonious, pompous jerks. You even went so far as encouraging us. It showed me (and I'd like to think my guild) that not all highly ranked guilds are filled with such jerks. You gave me something to strive for, and I thank you for that. That being said, one day, Idiot Savants will meet Order of the Grail again. And one of those times, we'll emerge victorious.

What the...? This isn't a flame thread? Oh well, I guess everyone's entitled to at least one happy thread.

Lol! I have run into some players that are arrogant dicks while others within the same guild are the sweetest people.

@Sapp: Is your guild's tag OOG, and is your cape green with a golden goblet on it?

Yes, iQ are great fun to play. We would have had a chance to beat them if our flag runner didnt completely forget the flag. Oh well, still awesome when you get matched to them.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm sure we'll look forward to playing you all in the future as well.

Pirates Of B B Q Bay are the same way. They don't brag and they say "gg."

Indeed, it's nice to see that iQ are adults, unlike many top guilds' members up there. My guild's 20ish, and the top 20 always looked to me like the Kingdom of Spoiled Brats.

Wow! I too thought I was in for another flame thread!
I someday hope to get my guild to the point where we will be able to take on the iQ's of this game!

I had the exact same experience and response with iQ and BUS last night. It makes getting steamrolled a lot easier to take when a) it's done so artfully and b) it's done so politely. My admiration goes out to iQ for combining graciousness and ability - hopefully you'll be a role-model to the more a**holey guilds.

I'd also like to give my thanks to iQ being a good role-model. You are large and mostly friendly (I've seen only a few (understandable) cases where an iQ member isn't the epitome of polite), as well as winning your way to the high rankings by something beyond cookie-cutter builds.
In my books, you're the largest individual guild of creative thinkers, with a knack for coming up with good things.
I only hope that one day my guild can reach your level of achievement.

The love fest continues! Shocking!
I wanted to throw this out: Once the match starts, I turn local chat off (and push others to as well). It's not meant to be rude, but when it's game time you've got to focus, and that's one fewer distraction. It leaves very little time to socialize- a few seconds before the match and (hopefully) after we've won.
If you want to say hi or ask a question or get an extra word in, (hopefully not a flame, but we take the good with the bad) whisper one of us after the match. There's often a looong wait in between matches.
Just a heads up and a "don't be offended" notice.
