T3A was somewhat of a "surprise". The original plan for this was VV versus VVA. I had a feeling something else was going to happen with Phil...but none of it was concrete. I'm not sure if anyone in VV or VVA KNEW this was going to happen other than Mark. It was supposed to be VV versus VVA...and Phil suddenly appeared with this new group of challengers to truly test us both. The reason it wasn't announced is that it was a SURPRISE. Like I said, I suspected something may be happening, but didn't really have any idea what. I thought VVA was going to bring in Phil and some more power hitters. I did not expect the EPIC league of all-stars we were tasked with fighting against.
It was not an insult to anyone else. It was a fun contest for the VV family. Phil spiced it up by inviting a celebrity team to fight us. He did this as a surprise. It was a lot more fun that way, trust me. Someone pointed out in guild chat either late Sunday night or early Monday morning..top players are leaving their guilds. Phil gave a cryptic hint. We began to notice just how many "missing" people there were. And we started suspecting what was coming. Then T3A was formed and started hitting demon gates. A mere little in guild play fight between VV and VVA was no more. This was real. THE GAME WAS ON.
I believe that for the VV family, and for T3A, T3A's surprise emergence was even more fun then announcing it weeks ahead of time would have been. VV and VVA was going to have a fun time. T3A crashed that party (and made it even more fun in the process). Any other guild would have been welcome to crash that party. So, why did we announce it on the forums afterwards?
IT WAS FUN. It was a blast. Sure, invasion sucks most of the time...but this made it worth it. Both guilds put up an amazing effort. We wanted to share the fun we had with everyone. We were proud of what we did, and we wanted to share our accomplishments.
Meanwhile, VV still plans to hold demon gates. You're welcome to come up with any team you want and challenge us. Declare your intentions, and we'll go to war with you starting Monday night. Or don't, and just barge in, and see if we can recover. Or assemble in secret, and try to attack us in secret at the last minute, before we can retaliate. We're always here for the challenge. You want a piece of us? We'll be at Demon Gates. Come whenever you want, as often as you want, and bring whomever you want with you. That's your invitation.
