Front lines: Grand Company stereotypes?

[TessaJalloh]

for me it tends to be:

Adders: Sneaky tricksy, we let the other two duke it out and steal mid from them whilst maintaining one or two bases. Doesn't always work.
Maelstrom: ZERG! CRUSH! TIL SEA SWALLOWS ALL!!!
Flames: Charge into battle no matter how many enemies they're outnumbered by, and flee after killing one or two people.

yeah, Aether is mainly that. Add to it the Adder's premade from Balmung which policy is : "crush them all on all grounds then laugh at the monstrous margin we made". They fail to be in the game if they lose the first clash though.


From what I see on Chaos (any GC) :
"kill healers !!"
"No kill mages"
"kill healer mages then"
"oh wait there's a tank, LET THE BLOOD BATH BEGIN !!"
"eeeeeeh, all dead"
(the winner side is picked up at random depending who died first and how many healers were here. Ninjas usually fail their sneak attacks and get zerged in an horrible manner)

Maelstrom: just way too strong. "Oh shit, we're 400 points down! Kill everyone twice". The GC then proceeds to have what appears to be two parties at every fucking location. At the Manors. Outside the Serpent preparation den. At the Serpent Outpost. At the Heliodrome. If you're in this GC's fov, and they're in kill mode, their Whms will charge at you, as if whatever action they take is done with total impunity. Ofcourse swiftcast - sleep is next, followed by you being Fluid Aura into the horde. The horde then eviscerates you with deft swiftneess.

Whenever I see a Lalafell in full Syrcus gear sprinting towards me and that distinctive swiftcast sound goes off, I just silently cry inside.

Twin Adder - the headless chicken. This is typical alliance chat:

Adder#1: a and c send lb for mid
Tree hugger from c: we dont have lb
Tree hugger from a: nothing but bards on our team
Unnamed Adder#1: why are the flames and mael at our op?
Unnamed Adder#2: do you see the square above the healers heads? That doesn't mean ignore them
Dejected Adder: where's our healer?
Lonewolf Healer Adder:[in Wolverine's voice] I go where I wanna go
Blm Adder to Smn Adder: don't bane your dots after I sleep them you idiot
Angry Adder: DRG plz don't use our lb2 on a mnk
