We ranked 261 with NO GOLD - Bravehearts of Scotland

[HGF69]

First off thank you to THE best faction members a leader could ever ask for. I take my hat off to all BoS members, well 49/50.

We fought 69 battles won 45 and lost 24 and notched up 1,743,720 WD points over the 3 days all with NO GOLD. Other factions can verify this.

It's been a hard slog but I reckon we made a point, that decent hard working strong factions can put in a real shift and not spend a penny. We were in and out the top 250 over the last few days and could easily have made the tier but we made a decision to stick to non gold to prove a point, mostly to ourselves but also to others and of course REG.

We could also have made the top 100 easy again, we have never been out of it til now and this war has taught us so much for the next war that we will be back up there. Watch out.

Sorry if I am blowing my faction's trumpet but I am very proud right now.

[Rough Neck]

Congratulation, should use 20 gold and your faction will be the 250th,lol

[Pakmom1]

Congrats to you all!

You can blow their trumpets as much as you like...or at least as much as they'll let you :p

[lastmast2]

I dont believe you.

[Mr. Pink]

Nice job!! 1.74 million sounds about right.

I guessed you would score 1,570,275 (excluding scoring from defensive wins) and be in contention...add 2,500 to 5,000 per battle in defensive wins and you get pretty close to your actual score.

[Some Random Clown]

Good job, and I did a quick average and the math does check out as No Gold plausible.

[Richie.]

Great effort grats :)

[United Nation of Foxes]

Well done brother respect !

[ProCision]

we were about 98% free. We had a few drop some gold here and there and pulled off top 250. I will say if it wasnt for the few, very few that did we would be right next to you. With the money saved go hit that LTQ hard and net way more a/d then any war will give you.

[Miner]

Great job guys. You beat us in REG by a couple hundred thousand points. Think we were in 277th spot.

Oh it would have been eoic if you guys were top 250

[vorm]

I have to say that I'm so glad that we did this. Not getting those units that we would have normally got was worth it. It was by far the least stressful of all the wars and the most fun. Everything was about the camaraderie rather than ranking. We relied solely on teamwork and organization rather than med packs to do well, which was a great way to challenge ourselves, and i have to say we blew away even our own expectations. I've never bee more proud of my faction.

Special thanks to all you guys in REG for being part of the "No Gold Challenge" you guys are great and did great as well.

[Blest@iBOB!.mw]

I'm curious as to individual scores... how much can one score with no gold usage... what was the mean score... you can PM me the numbers if you'd like...

[KFH]

Nice job with sticking to your guns. would also like to know what a average score would be without using gold.

[United Nation of Foxes]

50k is achievable without gold

[vorm]

50k is achievable without gold

It is, but so much that just "depends" on so many other factors. Like how much you get from defensive points and how much you're attacking the wall vs. players and stuff like that. Some of your points are beyond your control.

[Dutchie]

Great job! Love the spirit and keeping it real... Respect!

[DaHoosier]

Very Impressive guys. I applaud you for not caving in to the temptation of tossing in a little gold just to make the top 250.

It's refreshing to see some teams and players here with honor and principles.

[Blitz.BestoftheBest]

Great job! We (Best of the Best) hit our goldless goal and ended up top 750 with about 30 members playing.

[rar]

Congrats from the Rudedudes. We fought you on Saturday. I could not believe a faction that finished 209 in Ireland, would get matched up with you guys. I can tell you they did not use gold against us because if they did, they would have crushed us. they are a very strong team. We did not use any gold or maybe very little against them because there were few on his team we could beat, especially with to the crazy loss rates on Friday and Saturday. Somehow, we squeaked out a slim victory. Well done and hats off to you for what you are doing.

[Starling]

Nice work BoS. I salute you.

[BlackArrow]

Great job guys!! Respect.

[GQNammmer]

This war I scored 97,300 WD points without a single refill bought! Being the DL helps though.

But you gained 17 levels! :P

[Alpha dog]

yeah nice work guys. Great spirit there, much respect

[Blest@iBOB!.mw]

Great job FFFStryker! Great job FFF... Props to the Bravehearts! :cool:

[BigD@wg]

Congratulations BoS! Our REG team fought hard but we just couldn't catch you. Hats off to the winner!

[Brach]

Really impressive to both of you to be able to stick out the no gold war.... For the whole team band together and hang around top 250 without iTunes or credit cards is awesome. Congrats

I agree. That takes some dedication and serious time to be standing by for all those free hits. Congrats! Very impressive!

[Tanner]

If anyone thinks this free stuff is easy - well, it is...for the top 4000 spots maybe! Great job BoS! We're cutting, recruiting and LTQing for bonuses as we speak!

Are you all up for another free war sometime this summer?

[Roscoe782]

Good work man! We used gold still, but tempered it and didn't try for top 100. The event was fun again and not stressful. Hard work and teamwork are so much more appealing than just throwing med packs at opponents. What are your thoughts on the continued decreasing of time between events? We are a little lucky. The time between the wars in crime city is currently at 2 weeks....I think a certain company is trying to squeeze...

[General Maximus]

Strong work BoS! Impressive.

[Tito89]

the perfect faction, no money and still placed well, my hat comes off to you guys. :)

[HGF69]

I'm curious as to individual scores... how much can one score with no gold usage... what was the mean score... you can PM me the numbers if you'd like...

Out of 50 members our WD scores ranged from 16k-67k. The 60k players got those scores by either being the DL or having great defensive stats so they ramped up a lot of points from wins from opponents as well as what they scored.

[Tanner]

HGF, it's go time buddy. When r u all going to be up for another may the best team fight for free and WIN!? ;)

[King little fruit fly]

Congrat to those stick to their words and stayed gold free for the impressive accomplishment and win. :D

We did our part to support the Cartel, you don't see us up in Gambit's Colombia ranking thread, do you? We've never finished anything lower than 16 until this one. :D

[HGF69]

HGF, it's go time buddy. When r u all going to be up for another may the best team fight for free and WIN!? ;)

I reckon soon, keep you posted REG and thanks for the challenge.

Thank you HGF69... You and your mates have always been a class act! Good Luck to the Bravehearts!

[Yankster]

Congrats to you gents... I am proud to be a part of a faction where the suspense of seeing where you'll place lies. I couldn't deal with sitting there waiting for people to catch up. That would be boring. Instead I had the luxury of participating with others sharing the excitement, suspense and relief to place as a team which we worked so hard for and earned... What good is winning a trophy that you bought. It would be the same sense of not playing the Super Bowl but who could spend the most for the claim.

[wittywon]

I get your point but it's entertaining to me that you used that comparison where the most money gets you the best players and the teams organized an oligopoly to keep spending under control while assuring competitiveness.
