[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.”a6228697122c6cba

Jaein stared at 9de232682e the guild chat 3728093c69 and frowned.dd5f862e155015dd

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.5b8af9058ac47a6e

But competing with “All Talk No Bite” was an exception.162ea3733dbd1701

[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.2b5b596be1f57a88

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.7d86c1a832442140

[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 628a21e3c1 becomes the ruling guild, f256a055bf they implicitly maintain a 35ec64771e 15% tax to keep 8286829851 the economy flowing smoothly. Setting it higher makes e8ca37f122 users hesitate to spend efce3064d6 gold, which kills the acab5bb29b market.f6029f88682f582f

But the All Talk No Bite guild acted like they didn’t know any of that.884878db44ed6def

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.d79d79e7b979fa95

It got to the eca944457a point where users desperately 98ca631253 pleaded with the game 3c8a19bfa9 company to reduce the 780738fc38 maximum tax rate. But all they c41aca6faf got back was 9a16141fc3 a canned response ff893efa78 saying their feedback 94a52a2bc4 had been forwarded c71efa572c to the developers.a7df2a8219cffee8

Since they were going a2823f5902 to be on the e466ea4b95 same server as those abb3d0f608 guys, it was natural f5c44a069c to be worried. If they were d31f590136 bad at the 73db585a21 game, they could c7f7d3f731 be ignored, but 431bc356d4 the problem was 406f0d71ec they were good b1438894b5 players with a 0c2a1818b3 decent number of 11071b153b high-ranking members, making 3269368e9d them a real 67916c4049 headache.7404b63c64cc1e64

The only silver 3d60bfe02e lining was that f2dadbec88 due to the aadb9ec303 point difference, the 0c234c4636 Sunfish guild would 36aad58c60 retain their ruling 39adaaddc7 guild status after 82dd6747fc the server merge, a08a9e2728 right?531a2ee03b3b61e6

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.84048399b90bbcfd

[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 2df225309e only one 0f277c3dca way. As Ttunttuni said, 3daa38cbaa it was currently 04fc6c9e8b the best and dda2eddc02 only strategy. If they succeeded, they 6866eb1410 could create a significant 0643256a71 point gap between themselves 6b054f0e51 and All Talk No 63b37e6c71 Bite, and ultimately even 67c169d2c0 drive them off the 52822b510d server.aa786458f1e4cd88

But it wasn’t easy. Ironically, it was because they couldn’t find the key person for this strategy.f05b7bed1a09e097

Jaein sighed and f98a9a3a94 threw a question dcd27c2c17 into the guild 4395607fd5 chat.0dea83e42c704fe8

[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.d3cbd7b7b5eef749

He, the 5th ranked 510c78f563 player, was their last aee955df53 hope in this situation.fcb248f1cb6d0e3a

[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 63ea0f93d2 All Talk c354d5a169 No Bite ab219b29c0 and Sunfish 5bbf8ca80b had four 53edcb6bec members each 196c28d45d within the 9818653afd top 100. There was a 20c91e5d25 slight difference in de97a5a193 ranking, but their 53137e11dc overall power was f5d3b69c55 considered equal.5c802e46be6d7768

If they could recruit 9c87ca5a9b the 5th ranked player 82dfb332ba into their guild, they 6317ac33fb could create a decisive a0b509afde gap between themselves and 4e832e4633 All Talk No Bite. Of course, there 5acddaff6f were still things c7ae648895 they would need 2948844296 to do even 66f67fcc2a then.af55284d82d199a2

Anyway, the current 46157df68a priority was to 160f1acd1f find the hidden 99e5585674 Anonymous0101.4679d799be2e02c1

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.20c12356524e4ea2

Honestly, he 9250c610b1 had considered d9d188c567 merging with b3c274d226 another guild, ac378b4afb but he 7ba6c953d7 ruled it 16beaa2b9d out because 76f020aae8 it would 2463a29e3a mean abandoning 42f1153295 some of 93c94a3365 his guild 0338cf4b6f members. There were da849c81fd other countermeasures, 5202c580ab but most 88e8dfae7f of them 544d71de7e were impractical 39edbf4424 or only f26cf9548e offered short-term 44e2ff1737 solutions.f184f4c06e473462

After filtering through 2e7d03bc82 all the options, 36081441ac the remaining method a57c0ae00e was to recruit 9d44b33a5b a high-ranking player c5387ab7c8 without a guild. That was f948706303 the safest 06080983cd and most c6fa895f69 trouble-free option.cffbb2a1a9e8cb18

Even if he liked af5a9b4620 hiding his power, was acf63e3109 it necessary to hide 36a2e021f1 it to this extent? If he hid f5d2396b57 his nickname like 494d4dc25e this, he would 9057aa15b9 have trouble joining c633d194f1 raid or speedrun 7d66568eb8 parties.21bf894de76f36a6

[Guild] Anew: If I were 5th, I’d be bragging about it everywhere
