Post by a1maven on Dec 24, 2015 2:38:00 GMT
This section exists for several reasons:
Firstly, I am very proud of every single one of my guild mates. It has been an honor to be chosen to lead them and I wanted to acknowledge the contributions and skills of each of them. This list is partially here as a way to keep records.
Secondly, I have noticed lately that more and more guilds are popping up, making the decision to join a guild much tougher for newer players. Of course every guild wants to advertise themselves as being the best and the best choice. Each guild is starting to develop their own "theme" if you will, of what makes them special. A1 however is determined to stick to our goals of being the best that we can be in all areas of the game, including: competitively, in theorycrafting, in enhancing the ShadowEra experience for other players on this forum and in deckbuilding. This thread will keep track of all of our accomplishments in each areas to showcase that we will continue to strive to excel in each of those areas.
Lastly, this will be a way to keep track of each of the threads that I deem worthy for people to read in terms of tactics and deck/theory crafting. No new player can be expected to read everything in the forums, there are literally thousands of posts. However hidden in some of the older posts are some gems, which are well worth a read even if the version they were written in has long since came and gone. It would be a shame (imo) to lose some of the great discussion and tactics that were posted in the past.
I will do my best to keep this list updated. It includes some accomplishments from our Alumni, who are sadly no longer in A1. No accomplishment by an ex A1 member is posted if that accomplishment was performed AFTER they left A1.
Tournament results
Please Note: Despite having many third place getters over the course of A1's history, we will not be listing them as our list will be too long. This does not diminish from their accomplishments however and we would like to congratulate all of our third place getters in all tournaments with this small note of acknowledgement that they have not been forgotten!
TL;DR - Winners list includes 55 wins, runner's up list includes 25 second place getters, 3rd place getters = too many to list. A1 have also won the first guild wars, and took out 1st, 2nd, 3rd AND 4th in the 2012 World Championship. Other recent notable accomplishments not mentioned include A1 taking out 1st-7th in the Crown Invitational.

Siege on A1 Hall of Fame:
The Siege on A1 is a competition A1 host to see if anyone can pull of the almost impossible task of defeating 7 A1 members in a row with only 3 decks. For more information, please see our Siege on A1 thread in the Organized Play section of the ShadowEra forums (link). With over 17,000 crystals and bonus prizes up for grabs, this contest is intentionally very difficult. We will use this section to congratulate and celebrate achievements of people who are brave enough to tackle this challenge! As of this update, nobody has completed the challenge.
First person to make stage 2 - TJ Hendrickson
Person to make it the furthest - A1 Painful_Smile (in the internal A1 Siege on A1; Painful Smile was defeated in match 3 of stage 2, just 2 wins away from winning the whole thing!)
Misc:
Oldest surviving guild
Still one step ahead, and continually changing the meta
Firstly, I am very proud of every single one of my guild mates. It has been an honor to be chosen to lead them and I wanted to acknowledge the contributions and skills of each of them. This list is partially here as a way to keep records.
Secondly, I have noticed lately that more and more guilds are popping up, making the decision to join a guild much tougher for newer players. Of course every guild wants to advertise themselves as being the best and the best choice. Each guild is starting to develop their own "theme" if you will, of what makes them special. A1 however is determined to stick to our goals of being the best that we can be in all areas of the game, including: competitively, in theorycrafting, in enhancing the ShadowEra experience for other players on this forum and in deckbuilding. This thread will keep track of all of our accomplishments in each areas to showcase that we will continue to strive to excel in each of those areas.
Lastly, this will be a way to keep track of each of the threads that I deem worthy for people to read in terms of tactics and deck/theory crafting. No new player can be expected to read everything in the forums, there are literally thousands of posts. However hidden in some of the older posts are some gems, which are well worth a read even if the version they were written in has long since came and gone. It would be a shame (imo) to lose some of the great discussion and tactics that were posted in the past.
I will do my best to keep this list updated. It includes some accomplishments from our Alumni, who are sadly no longer in A1. No accomplishment by an ex A1 member is posted if that accomplishment was performed AFTER they left A1.
Tournament results
Please Note: Despite having many third place getters over the course of A1's history, we will not be listing them as our list will be too long. This does not diminish from their accomplishments however and we would like to congratulate all of our third place getters in all tournaments with this small note of acknowledgement that they have not been forgotten!
TL;DR - Winners list includes 55 wins, runner's up list includes 25 second place getters, 3rd place getters = too many to list. A1 have also won the first guild wars, and took out 1st, 2nd, 3rd AND 4th in the 2012 World Championship. Other recent notable accomplishments not mentioned include A1 taking out 1st-7th in the Crown Invitational.

Siege on A1 Hall of Fame:
The Siege on A1 is a competition A1 host to see if anyone can pull of the almost impossible task of defeating 7 A1 members in a row with only 3 decks. For more information, please see our Siege on A1 thread in the Organized Play section of the ShadowEra forums (link). With over 17,000 crystals and bonus prizes up for grabs, this contest is intentionally very difficult. We will use this section to congratulate and celebrate achievements of people who are brave enough to tackle this challenge! As of this update, nobody has completed the challenge.
First person to make stage 2 - TJ Hendrickson
Person to make it the furthest - A1 Painful_Smile (in the internal A1 Siege on A1; Painful Smile was defeated in match 3 of stage 2, just 2 wins away from winning the whole thing!)

Oldest surviving guild
Still one step ahead, and continually changing the meta
