The Badger Spirits

Last Update: 19 December 2014

After Karn Aanug melted down, I drifted aimlessly a while and sought out a guild that might fit me.  I finally found a home in this one on 18 November 2013.  I like The Badgers because they're small and dedicated to excellence in WvW, but with a twist -- instead of emphasizing pwnage in open field fights and seeking the kind of glory that comes with that, this guild operates behind the scenes:  tower upgrades, siege placement, defense, dolyak protection, small-group infiltration, hit-and-run ... exactly the kinds of things I've always done solo because I couldn't find like-minded players.  Now I have and let me tell you:  those activities are far more effective in a group, even if that group is only two or three strong.

Eleanor Mackenzie.  30 November 2013 at the NE Tower, Piken Borderlands.

In the Borderlands ... Panrai, 11 January 2014  ...                                            Trick Dya, 02 February 2014.

11 February 2014.  Desolation Defenders at Hills Keep, shortly after the waypoint activated:  Kroc, Liv, Pro, Chharia.  Kept the homeland safe from enemy incursion while the main body smashed our foes and won glory in Eternal Battleground and the enemy Borderlands.  The true hero doesn't seek adulation.  He fights for right and justice simply because it's his nature.  -- Sheldon Cooper

19 December 2014.  Defending Blackgate's Northwest Tower with two supply traps and a row of chocolate-orange cookies -- just to be irritating.  It worked -- they apparently needed 15 fighters to counter two Badgers.
