[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: But isn’t merging with the server those jerks are on totally insane?

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] Anew: Are their scores even close to ours?

[Guild] AriS0ng: Yeah, 50 points difference.

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

And on this Lucan server that they were merging with was the infamous guild “All Talk No Bite.”1016ef8278fb00e3

Jaein stared at 53ac6e078e the guild chat aec604aea4 and frowned.0fa2ca71b6a1b1c4

Honestly, he wasn’t upset about losing the monopoly on the ruling guild position. Unlike before, they’d have to compete for the ranking again, but as long as they competed fairly, maintaining the tension wouldn’t be bad. He also disliked the other guilds complaining about being in the same situation.ec2921f6a4ed3cbe

But competing with “All Talk No Bite” was an exception.92f5fcfe623a1a3a

[Guild] Anew: To think we have to compete with villains like them

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: Not “like” villains, they are villains ㅡㅡ

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: If you see their compilation on the forums, really… ha…

[Guild] Anew: At that point, you can’t even call it a concept;;

Their tone was borderline offensive, their behavior was rude, they were notorious womanizers, and threats and mockery were their specialties. Yet the reason the game company didn’t sanction them was because All Talk No Bite skillfully controlled the intensity of their actions.93fad95533f1c96b

Up to this point, they seemed like typical troublemakers you’d find in any game, but their true viciousness was revealed the moment they became the ruling guild.143260e997e0d988

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: Come to think of it, the Lucan server’s market crashed because of All Talk No Bite, right?

[Guild] AriS0ng: Yeah, the tax is a whopping 450% LOLOLOLOL

[Guild] Anew: 450??

[Guild] AriS0ng: Ack! Typoㅇㅇㅇ 40

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: Holy crap;; 40%? How much is that?

[Guild] Ttunttuni: A simple calculation puts it at 4 times ours, but the market is wrecked so there are almost no transactions.

[Guild] Ttunttuni: So it’ll be roughly 1.5 times the gold we earn?

[Guild] AriS0ng: I’d rather merge with the Roel server

[Guild] Anew: For real

Usually, when a guild 609803b32c becomes the ruling guild, 408e7a0660 they implicitly maintain a a0fd9c3681 15% tax to keep 949a50e4ef the economy flowing smoothly. Setting it higher c47fe8b798 makes users hesitate e038950472 to spend gold, 5a3d0f459f which kills the e0b207d705 market.ec5fe168df6d2b44

But the All Talk No Bite guild acted like they didn’t know any of that.74e2e03c46a0f624

They set the tax to the maximum of 40%. It was no different from an announcement that they were only going to look out for themselves. As the value of gold skyrocketed, users on the Lucan server couldn’t properly enjoy the game.6a329429a55a5ea6

It got to 4c9aadc3f7 the point where 8f11970ca7 users desperately pleaded a3b7ba28a0 with the game dd574aef89 company to reduce 1ad34c2a6a the maximum tax 34896c560d rate. But all they got 38637cb105 back was a canned e99ff80db4 response saying their feedback 9441314a5f had been forwarded to 9b50bf1528 the developers.7e293a286d03e58e

Since they were 73c2cc5e60 going to be f1c5c5a6ad on the same ea08001af5 server as those fb227bbc37 guys, it was c421dcfda3 natural to be b87833715e worried. If they a886a5c2a1 were bad 67375f7cf9 at the 5697000607 game, they e7427036f9 could be 54c788536e ignored, but 29e03eeaf1 the problem f0d0dba078 was they 52bdd17d4d were good aa8469f6ab players with 913dbe1d8e a decent ff93453910 number of bf53fefa62 high-ranking members, 773cb2065b making them 2d4110551b a real d3eba0730c headache.85acbe681bd778fa

The only 64b499de82 silver lining 558dd62ef9 was that fab0114589 due to da7fef165a the point a870498d0d difference, the ca7bb760df Sunfish guild af984a33f9 would retain f323f43e4e their ruling 1081bcf591 guild status d143cfdf03 after the c11f13daba server merge, 1d36c5df35 right?8288c5a7b132b48e

But the problem was the future. As long as All Talk No Bite was aiming for the ruling guild position, it was clear they’d be entangled in a messy situation.94edc7dc9294898c

[Guild] Anew: Guild Master, is that really the only way? ㅠㅅㅠ

[Guild] AriS0ng: Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that’s all there is

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: It’s not an easy task, but ㅡㅡ

[Guild] Ttunttuni: It’s the best option ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: Damn it

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: When are we going to find him;;

There was only e92e43f0be one way. As Ttunttuni said, it 5daa959889 was currently the best 7dd5a308e5 and only strategy. If they bc3b5ff2bb succeeded, they 7de9c91e19 could create 431e46b2b1 a significant 0f0cc649b4 point gap 0584f00788 between themselves eb398ad18e and All b4a724637b Talk No fb50875636 Bite, and a557860408 ultimately even a4ccb36989 drive them a772b70f1b off the 90b5566f71 server.fa6c56917cf8370b

But it wasn’t easy. Ironically, it was because they couldn’t find the key person for this strategy.4c000851d77511e6

Jaein sighed and 9559c19252 threw a question 19572532c0 into the guild 136b6d951d chat.2aacb6a5f01ffa51

[Guild] Mollamolla: I still don’t understand

[Guild] Mollamolla: Why hide their nickname? Especially a high-ranking player?

[Guild] Mollamolla: Does Young-il… have some kind of hidden power fantasy or something?

[Guild] AriS0ng: Hidden power fantasy LOL

Nickname: Young-il. Hidden nickname: Anonymous0101.db6d6f480ee5329b

He, the 5th 75b49101ff ranked player, was 6297a70d29 their last hope 6389def1b7 in this situation.ec9814b756237170

[Guild] Mollamolla: Ttun

[Guild] Mollamolla: Did you really go to the Lucan server and post the ad?

[Guild] Ttunttuni: Yeah;;

[Guild] Ttunttuni: I posted an ad saying we’re looking for him

[Guild] Ttunttuni: But nobody seems to know who Young-il is

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: The forums are just filled with people saying they don’t know him;

[Guild] Anew: Young-il…

[Guild] AriS0ng: Young-il you little shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[Guild] BungeoSSamanco: Ugh… that damn Young-il

Currently, both All Talk f9ee62c61a No Bite and Sunfish 122f93e70e had four members each a90a0bf2a3 within the top 100. There was a 8711b7b8c5 slight difference in ebe158e13d ranking, but their dae621d9f1 overall power was c47db8876e considered equal.b1554151fe4423fe

If they 695479f96a could recruit 95352e71d2 the 5th 51c369f90c ranked player ee997ac59d into their bba6b5e810 guild, they 5872ee2ca0 could create 649c1547b0 a decisive 5f95381dc7 gap between cb965db0a0 themselves and e8ca5e129f All Talk fc1a40fa30 No Bite. Of course, 1f77c9fb41 there were 9c5288b976 still things ee8e9d0fe5 they would 7a19943feb need to 228f762fd5 do even 102790b0e3 then.d763eb1b3a5755ff

Anyway, the current b19c32fd47 priority was to 9928f1df6f find the hidden 5065bdfcc0 Anonymous0101.5b1f50f539e39ced

Yesterday, when the server merge list was released, they hurriedly posted on the free forum and even went to the Lucan server to advertise, but they couldn’t get a proper response. Instead, they only heard that All Talk No Bite was thoroughly preparing for the merge.2e5e5b4839a250e9

Honestly, he 1e82784505 had considered 4ee1a8e2db merging with d09a21be55 another guild, beb74f102f but he dea400fd63 ruled it 222ce73213 out because af0e7e0b2b it would ddb93b0271 mean abandoning 9a575693ce some of 699f53d2d6 his guild 04713a12c2 members. There were other countermeasures, cc9643b771 but most of them d112dcbf63 were impractical or only 7d39282887 offered short-term solutions.2273e2bbf7a2b54a

After filtering b80d7a8b28 through all d43a2dd21f the options, f682d75d47 the remaining aef4859a43 method was 4d93a57662 to recruit 8358cf04e8 a high-ranking 53d8dc16c6 player without c854a217dc a guild. That was the safest 7c9ed70504 and most trouble-free option.925fe5b41be3affe

“Normally, wouldn’t people be proud to see their nickname on the rankings? Most users rank up for that reason.”389f6f670f36cf67

Even if he liked fbc30a53f1 hiding his power, was 7c224d1666 it necessary to hide 33da35cbea it to this extent? If he 631431248d hid his 03382d4bd9 nickname like f203c2c792 this, he 258cb09347 would have 301ee63c75 trouble joining b0104da4d0 raid or 8d27dd83ef speedrun parties.def4d13f557b2650
