Well now we're mixing it up a bit with favourite moments....
Mine was September 19th 2005 at about 11:30pm my time (god how sad, i remember)
GvG: Acoma Bl Warriors [ABLW] vs The Order of Dii [Dii] - Rank ~800 vs ~250
The game started with a close battle at the flag stand which after 10-15 minutes we (ABLW was my Guild) lost ground and were pushed back inside our base on our home map which included the catapult.
We stayed in there for a bit thinking of what to do and waited as they didn't seem to be able to come in and deliver the finishing blow.
At 24 minutes we called the Victory or Death Gank (having had that introduced into GW at 30 minutes not long before that) and myself and our Guild Leader moved to the far corner of the map out of the back door and waited patiently.
I was running a Fire based (burny) E/Me while our leader was playing a Warrior and at the 30 minute mark we dodged henchies on our way to their Guild Lord and took him down while the rest of our team was engaged with our opposition inside our base.
The reactions, the spirit of the match, my first successful gank (believe me I havent stopped ganking since) and the congratulations we received from an opposition we respected (having known of them for their work with gwonline) was sensational and those feelings through a computer game have been hard to replicate (apart from the many other successful ganks against opposition too strong to beat in a face to face fight).
I posted on their forum after the match thanking them for the spirit of the match and the tactic was described as 'perfect whether intentional or not'.
When I later joined the Order of Dii a couple of the members remembered my post and I can safely say we had a good laugh about it but the win came at a crucial time for Acoma where we needed a confidence boost to continue to improve as a Guild (we'd slid from top 300 to about 1000). The guys ended up beating the then number 4 ranked Guild only a week later.
While the Guild may no longer exist the spirit continues to die hard (and you'll find many ex-Acoma on this very forum). Acoma Forever
