Tranquility

Sometimes running from planets to planets in order to hunt, complete mission, face challenging foes, or partake in the GCW just seems unnecessary. All it takes is to be at the good spot at the good time. Just stepping off the shuttleport in Twin Mountain Base and enjoying the scenery.

TMB Channel

The TMB Channel is back, available for all citizens and guildsmates. This tool should help in strengthening our community by offering the opportunity for citizens and guildsmates alike to chat on a common channel.

While guildsmates could enjoy the /guild command in the chat box, it was limited only to registered members of TMB Player Association, while citizens of TMB didn't have the means to communicate together (except via /tell or /group).

To log in the TMB chat channel :

a) Right click on the chat box tab;
b) Select "join";
c) In the scrolling window look for the "public chat" folder and open it ;
d) Scroll down until you see TMB ;
e) Click "Join" ;

To use the TMB chat channel :

a) Right click on the chat box tab;
b) Select "Modify tab";
c) the TMB channel will be on the left hand window, highlight it and click the central arrow to move it in your main chat box ;
d) you can greet everyone by typing /tmb your message will appear in orange;

Looking forward to meet you there !

Sound planning never hurts...

With the increased readiness of the TMB strike team, time for sound planning has begun. As a small guild, improvising heroics or instance runs is bound to meet with failure, so in order to have a complete enjoyment, let's work ahead.

- Picking a date and time for a Heroic instance. In the case the entire team cannot be fielded, have a roster of friends ready to fill in the gaps. Planning for a fallback option and having everyone know in advance is good too : "On the menu, IG run, fallback NK Necrosis". No surprise to have.
- From there on, everyone to their favorite guides (Allakhazam, swg.wiki, SOE forum), the more informed, the smaller the surprise.
- During the week, everyone gets geared up in a solo or teamwork way, i.e. missions for specific objects, crafting. This includes having a ready camp, etc.
- On the evening, plan for an Ent. to be around (we're working on having a semi-perma ent. in the city, btw).
- Meet up on time and roll in !

Welcoming back Insano

Satuday night was the opportunity to welcome back Insano, a former pillar of the TMB community, who dropped back into Scylla for a moment. A great opportunity to catch up and have fun, in this particular occasion, fun was about going into the Kubaza Beetle Cave with Kohaeg, Iascoeto and Tarn, only to meet defeat at the hands (pincers really) of the Kubaza Beetle Foreman, well beefed up from the haydays and having since learned how to leap across the lava onto the standoff platform. Message to the SWG community : time to update those guides...Next time, we'll come ready with greater numbers and fully geared. At any rate, it was a great time to spend with a friend, hopefully, we'll have the pleasure to see him more often in these parts of the Galaxy. 'Till next time !

Sleepless in Dathomir

On Sunday 25th and Tuesday 27th, TMB teams gathered on the Dathomir broken landsape to hunt gaping spiders, kwi and other rancors helping Skedra levelling faster, before moving to the Nightsister Stronghold to help Darkossk, Arekya and Tarn complete the Nightsister Headdress prequest. With those completed, the TMB team will soon be able to attempt its first Heroics on its own (pending Vilouss and Skedra's levelling completion).

With the last games sessions oriented on teamwork, the likely team to be fielded will comprise of : Jed Hull (Jedi), Kohaeg Noubat (Jedi), Iascoeto Fepa (Jedi), Darkossk (Commando), Ashelin (Officer), Arekya Kreyel (Medic), Tarn Pagott (Spy).

City Hall gearing up for debate

With the elections coming up soon, a new layout for accomodating a public debate between the contenders has been set up in the City Hall's main room.

The new layout, will enable the contenders to seat in front of another, while the audience will seat around them. Being at the audience level, this new setting is intended to show that the TMB leaders ought to be at all times within the community. This setting enables also for a more partipatory debate with direct Q&A. A moderator will still be needed to ensure that the contenders answer all questions and make introductory comments uninterrupted.

From Dantooine to Mustafar

On Friday, May 24th a 5 members strong TMB team roamed the Dantooine fields, north of the city of Order to chase Dark Side Acolytes, Dark Jedi Knights and Dark Jedi Masters ,before moving to the arid lands of Mustafar on wild Kubaza Beetles chases, Malfosa hunting and providing support for various missions, joined by a sixth comrade. Beyond the fun and enjoyment, it was also, the first time that a nearly full group was fielded within the TMB community since the last two months. Displaying solidarity, veterans and younger members worked together, helping one another. In a very trademark TMB fashion, the disparities of levels are seen as an opportunity to learn how to work together until more challenging missions can be met.

Sneaking past the GCW

An unusual sight took place in Restuss two days ago, two purple dots and one red dot on the battlefield, yet, instead of facing one another, facing commonly Aralina Silk with success. This episode was a proud display of solidarity within the TMB community, where members of opposite factions worked alongside for the benefit of the community, here acquiring a famed Jinzu Razor Lightsaber. The group parted afterward, not before contributing in a modest manner to the Imperial domination of Restuss.

First we take Mos Eisley

As usually, it starts quite unexpectedly, running to the spaceport and passed a corner, running into a friend. "Hello, how are you ? Good to see you again". Then another comes up. "Hey good to see you too !" In the situation, the pleasure was even greater, as those are returning players, friends I hadn't see for a very long time. Obviously, this impromptu reunion is discussed by tells and live. Here comes another friend, dropping in to say "Hi". But what I said about taking a turn is true for everyone, and thus, one, then two friends do take the turn. And there we were, citizens, guildsmates, former guildsmates and former citizens chatting pleasantly. If it this was not enough, it was also the opportunity to meet yet someone new and making friends. The pleasure of the community, the challenges of the game, this is a great place to be. No matter what they say about low population servers, just a few good people is more than enough. Thanks for this great moment all.
