Hi Guys! Today im going to show you how to play cunning in factions, because you know, just pvp skills isnt enough to become a lion, you also need cunning, ill show you the tutorial... but i will tell you the legend of my faction, TheEagles. you may think this is a fake story, but i promise, im saying the thruth, if you dont enjoy it, just go skip to the tutorials! I.Gold Age of TheEagles Well its like October 2015, im begin to create a fac, called TheEagles, after that, i invited like 4 persons, we come to the wild, and built a base under the ocean, well on that day, i reach like 11 members in a day!! wew after 5-7 days, we already had like 26 Members! you know its big for me, in faction black and i was playing on factionblack, well... our faction keep growing, we reach like 4 spawners, a wart farm, storage, and even more... but, its got betrayed by someone, i still remember it! nbi!! he call his friend and rekt our fac, when the 5 best warriors of The Eagles are offline [Includes:Jesseb1405, Drunkbear1, Jack_The_Wizard, sa_wtf [Banned] and me] they succes gain control of our base and rekting us, so i did /f disband, it was a sad story. II.First Reborn of TheEagles After like 2 weeks, i decide to create back the fac, well there was only me and Jesseb remain [i met him after like 4 days after i created the faction] and yeah, we did well untill we reach 11 members, we made a base and with a grinder too, but there was a betrayer... Travis1995, first he tried to gain my trust to get mod, after that he find a good chance when our faction were in a bad condition, he did /f unclaimall and Bam! another /f disband. III.Dark Age Well imma saying this like the Dark age for Tr heEagles becasue i was just able to gain 4 members, and yeah... this only lasted 3 or 4 days, my memberwere suck they keep losing power and inactive, and our base got overclaimed and of course you know what i did, /f disband. IV.Second Reborn I decide to create TheEagles again, and yeah i able to gain 14 members in a day, but now our current base's condition is unsafe, because there was someone sethomed there, im looking forward to create a new f home, and now im staying in my emergency base for a momment thats really hidden, and its my story, how about you? ~Never give up even you must lost everything to reach your destiny THE TUTORIAL I.Playing with cunning well imma showing you some tricks 1.If there are enemies in your f home, i reccomend you to quickly evacuate, and do neutral them, because if you are neutral to them, they cant hit you in your base, but if the enemy change the diplomacy to enemy, your attack damage only casts 70% damage on your own land. 2.If your being chased down by some ops, all you need to do is throw an ender pearl somewhere, then run to the different direction, it will makes range from you and your chaser, well kinda old tactics, but helpful for starters! 3.Make people promise if you wanted to make them join your faction, its acctually what i always did, but i always get betrayed, its why you need to pick a person, test them, but what if they sethome when ur testing them? i got a solution! first just ask your most trusted person in your faction, ask him to make a recruit faction, and dont put op gears inside the recruit faction's base! so your mate will test them and try to prove that they're trusted or not, but remember, the person that lead the recruit faction must have a good cunning and a close distance like you, like irl friend. Well there are some tips to show, i want to make more but i must sleep, its almost Mid Night at my time, so bye!! i hope helpful! and sry if my grammar sucks xD!
Betraying is the number one way that decent factions get raided. A decent faction will always have a wall which is always up, but sometimes the faction members make a slight mistake with another person after being on guard for weeks on end and their base gets overclaimed / cegged. Here are a few tips on how not to get betrayed: - Everyone has separate bases: This means that you will not be able to share things like grinders with the rest of the faction, but it means that your chance of being insided is zero. Don't forget to do /f owner [name] so only the person who owns the base can use it from the faction. When doing this, if it is your base but you share it with highly trusted people, make sure they ask permission before doing ANY BUILDING OUTSIDE! You can also set the /f home to a random place with signs explaining this system to new members. - Test, test, test: Test out the player before inviting them to your base. Don't set the /f home in the main base, instead get trusted people to set their home there. This can be done by Pvping with them, building a money farm, asking them trap questions and stuff like that. If they lie about the trap questions (e.g. lying about having their own base, but where do they store their loot from pvp?) then don't invite them. Only people who never lie deserve your trust. Be very with the questions you choose. There are a lot of ways you can verify things, like looking at their stats or balance etc. - Be paranoid: Think that everyone is out to get you while recruiting. It is really important to think about what the person you are inviting has to gain from betraying you in comparison to what they lose. Lots of the time, they stand to gain heaps from betraying so that is exactly what they do. But if you do things like have a secret faction vault etc. The gains they make from betraying are low so their either leave to find bigger fish or they might even take your faction seriously. - Check new member's history: Ask around, check their forum history, see if they are known for betraying or are new to the server. If they left a faction, find out why they left. In fact, if they recently left a non-noob faction, don't invite them at all. Chances are they are still working with the other faction and the other faction's members will lie to you about how they didn't like the poor member who is trying to join you. - Recruit through other GC servers: Got some friends from survival or skyblock? Bring them over to Factions. Because they play in friendly servers where scamming is not allowed, they will feel less inclined to betray you, plus you have already established a friendship in which they don't have anything to gain from faking such friendship in the other servers.
