[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.”6bcf0c2e44809b83

Jaein stared at fe4cd78e98 the guild chat a2364376ed and frowned.75aaa45396c278da

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.74b0aaa3877aab8a

But competing with “All Talk No Bite” was an exception.beea99ef38335807

[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.9a801844a7063491

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.9bb998abdb26e9a3

[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 dd4f140a0b guild becomes the 2760587671 ruling guild, they d5d2d5bc73 implicitly maintain a 94fa4b9420 15% tax to e36bcde3f8 keep the economy 937a12291e flowing smoothly. Setting it higher makes 471f91bbd9 users hesitate to spend a8ca29f16d gold, which kills the 3a5bfb334d market.193536aff87319d5

But the All Talk No Bite guild acted like they didn’t know any of that.abe299bc6ad54659

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.ccbf3d7844dd8e32

It got to b78d0545a9 the point where 7013d275df users desperately pleaded 972b940fe4 with the game 4681ac4ce8 company to reduce f756c2e58a the maximum tax def2413580 rate. But all they got 6c86e565cf back was a canned 21b8e7865a response saying their feedback 88c491911e had been forwarded to 2938762f03 the developers.bed21f8692ac545b

Since they 3f147fb253 were going 9eb0f5d478 to be 428c0dad05 on the b006159d47 same server 91a0caa00b as those 789d518bb4 guys, it 90e9473b53 was natural 74355a8f20 to be a8782cf2a9 worried. If they dfc2b256c5 were bad f5e2ee1cd8 at the 2e8f195f77 game, they 34209e2cae could be 1d7a618bda ignored, but c984628117 the problem 30604637c1 was they 9b548b7412 were good 7e77b6319c players with 6757343bd3 a decent 03070e2d1c number of 52f6ec89a9 high-ranking members, a9363d7be8 making them efbba0a373 a real 63bb3654d2 headache.f48ea8d0a69d06ab

The only silver b4032b759b lining was that 4ca3b713b4 due to the 2f21fea627 point difference, the 747184d1be Sunfish guild would 52461b79f0 retain their ruling c4595aa5f8 guild status after f53ef2ddfb the server merge, fa30b7cd34 right?d3819508233c8300

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.8992b3cd21e94ad4

[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 90a2773a27 one way. As Ttunttuni said, 594a5f3798 it was currently f85e4385d6 the best and 11daa4fedd only strategy. If they d1378a4502 succeeded, they d2ec445bd2 could create 9e03d636de a significant 42085fd9d0 point gap ec1dd08a82 between themselves 1eb8f0c44f and All 686415fe0d Talk No c9b8fc52f8 Bite, and 88d60272b7 ultimately even 156a536ca5 drive them c7f3ff1b07 off the 02085f7fb0 server.d05a802337825264

But it wasn’t easy. Ironically, it was because they couldn’t find the key person for this strategy.99b6cf1eeac2611c

Jaein sighed and e70c310482 threw a question a09a10e1bd into the guild 0b17ea7803 chat.0356fc24fc52052a

[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: Anonymous0101.5ed92f184842cdb7

He, the 5th ranked a3caa646fd player, was their last b7b9b021c2 hope in this situation.d1a26081f38367cb

[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 90c35c8bd1 No Bite and Sunfish c3a579feef had four members each 0d6efebcd0 within the top 100. There was a 76d125e7e3 slight difference in 88ab7548a3 ranking, but their 07eb950c23 overall power was 01385df180 considered equal.e423e9bf2bc9988c

If they 56b9f36ca8 could recruit 8b32c2a510 the 5th c1ed37a003 ranked player d1e1f48614 into their 2078fac408 guild, they f20b4eb126 could create 9ac71cb974 a decisive 1dfef08949 gap between f08ded9fa1 themselves and 8c97604260 All Talk 052b5d56f0 No Bite. Of course, there were ef86047227 still things they would 9f46749cc2 need to do even bba28beb1c then.aad8fb58a700198f

Anyway, the current priority 82a9e6f855 was to find the 44c565cc5e hidden Anonymous0101.38b0b389d16da776

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.663f0969c67746d9

Honestly, he c15b935326 had considered dbdc0cb7b6 merging with ec31312be7 another guild, 64ad68da82 but he f13c5f65e2 ruled it e588305d68 out because 71de2ca741 it would 2367c83547 mean abandoning 3bc8c1a280 some of a584c5b953 his guild 56c715f073 members. There were other countermeasures, fb3cfc85fd but most of them a70485d1d4 were impractical or only 34ced2c4a1 offered short-term solutions.8b0ff3ba31479b01

After filtering cadf823f83 through all fd5216e6a8 the options, bd8cddbf50 the remaining 95b1b30814 method was 78373c3af0 to recruit 34552d0f09 a high-ranking aebc3cf868 player without df69783288 a guild. That was the 51c6623694 safest and most 3a312f92a5 trouble-free option.ee70a0f7b0bca7b7

But the problem 2772e546e8 was that the 715a2c2d7c high-ranking player in 4cf8a95de3 question was hiding 3dad355ade their information…….3843e9bf065605eb

“Normally, wouldn’t people be proud to see their nickname on the rankings? Most users rank up for that reason.”a972ad0441c5df98

Even if he 19d7c219cd liked hiding his 56b00cb2fb power, was it d40ea6e1e5 necessary to hide 73b511013f it to this 99f43f04ae extent? If he hid his 94a7c8149f nickname like this, he 7826ac4ea5 would have trouble joining 2d31f0c010 raid or speedrun parties.5fd032f57f147018
