    So on Miller a strange thing has happened..

    Indar was lock by VS, and Esamir by TR..
    A new Alert Started on Amerish, TR Won the Amerish Alert, but both Indar and Esamir Unlocked..
    But At the same time as Amerish becoming Locked, Hossin became Locked by NC..

    Both Amerish and Hossin state Locked Since, 07/30/2015 3:30am...

    So we've gone from
    Esamir and Indar Locked, to Amerish Unlocking Indar, but Esamir Unlocking for no reason and Locking Hossin to NC at the same time as Amerish..

    So uhm, not to sound jelly or an ***, but why has NC been given a Continent they didn't Win/Lock?

    It could be that while everyone was busy fighting on Amerish during the alert, a number of them decided to hop over to the empty continent of Hossin and ghost-cap it. As long as it reaches 95% territory control, it will count as a continent lock.
    As long as two continents and only two continents are locked, there isn't a problem.
    Gotta be careful of those sneaky *******s....

    This. NC ghost-capped the other continent while the alert drew everyone's attention. They may have been stopped had the actual alert ended when the NC still had a ways to go, but they locked own their alert in the nick of time.

    NC command on Connery as well likes to sneak in capture the hard way of Hossin for cheap shotgun MAXes.

    I've even seen in prime time with 3 continents unlocked an alert ends, then a minute or two later a continent gets captured the hard way unlocking the alert continent. Faction winning the alert basically only gets the alert certs.

    This sounds very much like leadership & coordination to me.

    That cant be right surely, isnt the NC just pubs running around, or casuals derping, or <14 yr olds throwing a fit.
    According to these forums NC has the worst players ever to grace any FPS game in history, for some reason all of those players gravitate to NC, right?
