Title: [ZK] La Famiglia di Zi Koannia
Post by: Beryl on August 17, 2014, 09:23:44 PM
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ofm7AfwR-Xs/UUgIF4f1AMI/AAAAAAAAAAs/TVfrzka5_6I/s630-fcrop64=1,000017aeee5dee84/6195-the-godfather-1680x1050-movie-wallpaper.png)
Zi Koannia was a small team originally run by Cherry and Gary/Mashiro. We were a family who played together, laughed together, cried together, and fought together. We originally fell apart because of the collapse of CFC, as well as tensions within our group.

But now, with renewed interest in Vanguard and bonds reforged...our family rises again, from its underground slumber.

A word of warning though: Don't mess with the family. We have our ways.

Current Godfather/Leader of the Bunch: Beryl
Right Hand of the Father/Co-Leader: Cherry (IGN: Hope)
Left Hand of the Father/Co-Leader: StrawHatter (IGN: Lucina)

Family Members:
Yata
AloisTrancy
Darkey
AldonahZero
Lequier

Team Rules:
1) We are a family. If and when you are a part of this family, you must respect the decisions and words of your leadership. If any of us hear of any crap, we do have the authority to kick you out, on the spot.
2) Do also try to get along with your associates, on that note.

Recruitment: If you're interested in becoming a part of the family, here's a few things to know/keep in mind:
- You may submit requests via posting in the team thread or by PMing myself.
- You will be tested by either one of the Hands, based on what leadership decides.
- You will play two games against your tester. Both times will be against different decks.
- Do be sure to be on your best behavior, because we will be taking that into account while testing you. Another member of leadership may be brought in to help make the decision if necessary.
- All of these things aside, just relax and do it your all. As serious as I'm making all of this look right now, you'll more than likely be fine and there's nothing to worry about. Just, don't screw up, because we'll know.

Current Team Battle Record:
Spoiler
3v3 Normal VS Team Zenith Lancer: Loss 0-2
3v3 Gunslinger VS Team Zenith Lancer: Win 3-0
3v3 Gunslinger VS Radiant Tales: Loss 2-3

Well I wanted to hang with Concordia but I haven't seen them around the boards or cfa. So, I'm glad we're doing this then.

Though, new members of the family should be warned ahead of time about the sheer ridiculous nonsense we embody.

Post by: Beryl on September 15, 2014, 06:56:21 PM
A bit of a formal announcement for the entire team, as well as the rest of the forum that cares to read this:

Short version: The Godfather is bedridden and the Right Hand will step up in his place until his illness passes.

Long version: College, extracurriculars and emotions have caused a lot of problems for myself and several others as of late. I'm taking time off of Vanguard and CFA to get myself back to full capacity; although, that's going to take quite a while...and I can't even guarantee I'll be back. In which case, the rest of the CFA staff will be the first to know what ends up happening.

In my place, my right hand, and the original leader of Zi Koannia, Cherry, will be in charge until my return, should I return. I will technically be able to swing by and update the roster if necessary, but I give Yata, the other mod on this time, full permission to edit my post and update roster/team battle results. I will also be adjusting testing rules to compensate for my absence.

I expect you guys to have done a team battle or three. Now, off I go to my life coma.

I would like everyone that's still actively playing Vanguard and in this group to describe something about themselves to potential new recruits looking for a homey environment. That, and I'm checking to see if any of you guys are actually alive, and remember that you're in this team!!

Well, since it's obvious my attempt to put myself into a life coma failed, I may as well respond to the call.

I'm Beryl, the real Godfather, although I'm pretty okay with Cherry being the acting one since she gets shit done a lot better than I can, ehe.

I'm a mod myself, and I don't put up with nonsense, because nonsense is bad and it makes everything else bad. S'why this team is a "no-nonsense" zone~

Easily the blessed moeblob of our little jig! I'm a weab so if you wanna talk some animu or mango just hit me up.

"I'm a mod myself, and I don't put up with nonsense, because nonsense is bad and it makes everything else bad. S'why this team is a "no-nonsense" zone~"

Except we all know nonsense is loved and adored and cuddled.

P.S. I'm best girl.

Thank you all for posting! I'll do it myself as well: I'm Cherry/Hope and I'm God's Gift. Blaster Blade is my bbu and Alfred is my sitcom dad. In case it wasn't obvious: Royals are my main. Like StrawHatter, I am a colossal weab. I like animu and mango, so we're well suited to talk about endless nonsense of husbanddos and waifus of wapanese animation, even the bad ones. I'm also socially awkward so bare with me if I ramble on or act random.

Also, I want a written report of that Team Battle I missed while I was asleep! If you guys start getting lazy after I woke you up, there's gonna be hell to pay!

La Famiglia di Zi Koannia vs Zenith Lancer
Format: Gunslinger with Double Mulligan
Final Results: 3-0
Loss for Zenith Lancer

Round 1
Lucina (Revengers) vs Cheru (Liberators)

Early game fight was even until Cheru took the lead using Aglovale to call more and more units to add more and more pressure. Forcing Lucina to take some hits in order to maintain hand advantage, compared with Cheru's 3. Everything was looking good for Cheru, he had legioned Percival and called more units, his hand was of normal length. However, Lucina sacked 2 criticals and paved their path to victory.

Victor: Lucina (1-0)

Round 2
Lucina (Revengers) vs Aeon Naru (Big Bang Knuckle)

Early game was fairy usual until Lucina rode G2 and went for a full on zerg rush hitting for all the right numbers. Naru ended up clearing up my front row when he went to G2. Lucina made the mistake of trying to Legion when her opponent was on G2. Good job. On Naru's Legion turn with Big Bang, he could use it's legion skill to clear my front board, but it had already been retired the turn before. After taking a few of Naru's hits, Lucina Legioned with Cormac and ended the game with it's insane crit pressure.

Victor: Lucina (2-0)

Round 3
Lucina (Revengers) vs Snosoul (Nubatama)

The match was entirely in the Revengers players hands. It could have possibly been better for Sno if they didn't misread cards a few times, I think this really made quite a hit in the game. Using what they could, Lucina called a few G2 units to make a fast zerg at either some damage, or cards out of hand. Forcing Sno to Legion probably could have been done differently by guarding or whatnot. Lucina made a huge mistake in this game as well. Go figure. When she first attacked with Abyss on the turn that Sno got to 5 damage, they forgot to legion and therefore couldn't use Abyss's terrifying skill. This was rendered moot however since Lucina legioned the turn after and finished it there.

Victor: Lucina (3-0)

Lucina was the only player from the ZK side that played so other than giving advice to myself I should probably note that I should 1. Read what grade my opponent is on at all times, even if it does seem obvious as frick. 2. Think about what I'm doing on my turn, then act according to that plan. This should prevent me from making mistakes like forgetting to Legion for Abyss. Other than that, it was a good few games! Thank you very much Team Zenith Lancer!

Good work on a complete team sweep for our revenge(because revengers hurr)! Remember to report all of our wins and losses in full from now on to avoid situations like missing the report for our first match with Zenith Lancer. If we want people to call on the family for hit jobs, we have to show we're reliable! Lucina's done an extremely impressive job at that already, so again, good work.

We'll be gearing up for more Team Battles in the future. Just worry about showing that we're dependable over tryharding for victory.

Zi Koannia vs Radiant Tales
Format: Gunslinger/Double Mulligan
Final Result: 2-3
Loss for Zi Koannia

Round 1
AloisTrancy (Perdition Overlords) vs T-Zero Lucius (Seekers)

Lucius played as a stand in. This matchup was heavily in our favor as Alois had the advantage of mass retiring faster than Lucius' Seekers could generate rearguards. Though Lucius played a decent rush game, Alois break rode Overlord the Great from Dragonic Overlord, resulting in less hand being reduced while still carrying the same heavy amount of firepower. Lucius played a safe game of staying back from Great's Legion skill, but it overall didn't help him as Alois' generated advantage and power lanes were too much. In the end, Alois dropped Rebirth for his final turn which wasn't the smartest move but it got it done.

Victor: AloisTrancy (1-0)

Round 2
AloisTrancy (Perdition Overlords) vs [T-RT] MisteR (Big Bang Brawlers)

The main defining point of this game was the absolute absurd amount of healing from both sides, but mostly Alois. Because of this, the whole game went smoothly for him, especially with riding up to Overlord the Great early, and MisteR damage checking his only upcoming Big Bang Knuckle Buster at the time. Both played a safe game: MisteR didn't play anything for Great to stand on and Alois didn't call a full frontrow to get hit from Big Bang Knuckle's Especial Counterblast attack. The endless healing ultimately ended with a dual trigger sack in the end when Big Bang Buster came too late.

Victor: AloisTrancy (2-0)

Round 3
AloisTrancy (Perdition Overolrds) vs [T.RT] Jai (Prominence Liberators)

My memory is a bit hazy on this one but it ended in Alois' loss.

Victor: Jai (2-1)

Round 4
Darkey (Link Joker) vs [T.RT] Jai (Prominence Liberators)

I think we did something wrong because the only thing that happened this game is that Darkey got ferociously sacked by dual triggers before he could get any combo off.

Victor: Jai (2-2)

Final Round
Hope (Seekers) vs [T.RT] Jai (Liberators)

This match was fantastic but I think God hates me. The game played out in my favor despite being under fire from Jai's early rush game, as I had a solid 10k defense as my Grade 2. In addition to that, an early Alfred legioning completely shredded his resources to pieces. While surviving the onslaughts, Jai managed to Superior Call a Aglovale and a Prominence Core with Core as his Vanguard, and had a 19k Bruno. Thankfully that Bruno wasn't behind Prominence but I had no null so that still hurt. Though, he still was low on resources. Alfred would have ended it, but then fate bitches out; Jai gets a heal trigger. I still try to go for it because I couldn't make it with my hand otherwise. Unfortunately, Seekers failed to give me the Critical Trigger I needed to finish the game. I lost next turn.

Victor: Jai (2-3)

...
Sigh, my apologies for screwing this up guys.

Not trying to completely discredit you guys. It was a good team battle. Everyone played good.

Yeah it wasn't a sixth damage heal either. Was still close.
Title: Re: [ZK] La Famiglia di Zi Koannia
Post by: Jai Hearts on September 27, 2014, 04:44:55 PM
still you gave your team a glowing report while mine especially me got the *won by luck* piece. granted my second opponent had it bad with missplays and me double trigging him.
Title: Re: [ZK] La Famiglia di Zi Koannia
Post by: AloisTrancy on September 27, 2014, 04:48:43 PM
Tbh, I probably shouldn't have used those heal triggers to guard so early in the game
Also I'm psure she pmuch just said "Alois won by luck" in those reports
Title: Re: [ZK] La Famiglia di Zi Koannia
Post by: Cherry on September 27, 2014, 04:49:18 PM
Well I mean, getting Aglovale and Core along with that heal and me not getting a Critical does define it as luckyish, because that's what I saw it as. I might be a little bitter about it though, in all honesty.
Title: Re: [ZK] La Famiglia di Zi Koannia
Post by: Jai Hearts on September 27, 2014, 04:51:55 PM
you got to crit me early game ofcourse when i get a heal i will heal.

alois first match you did luck, second one was more missplay on misters side. all and all seeing your play style against the others i knew you might counter glare so i stuck with core hoping to thin your g0's.

"still you gave your team a glowing report while mine especially me got the *won by luck* piece. granted my second opponent had it bad with missplays and me double trigging him."

But you did kinda come onto our page afterwards and say "I will bury the bodies". Not disrespecting you guys or anything, but that's a very rude thing to say.

Zero, Push, I haven't forgotten about you two. I'll get to your tests when I can find you. Nagito says he saw Zero around but I only noticed you once and I missed my chance to cardfight you, I apologize.

I want 3 members to volunteer for the team battle against RD. We'll be more organized than the last Team Battle where we went on the spot with anything to do it earlier (my fault). The requested time is 7:30PM GMT+3. The day will depend on whatever day everyone feels they'll be available at the time. Once you all figure that out, I'll send word to him.

A battle with SIN would be fantastic, but I'd like to fulfill my promise of RD being Zi Koannia's next fight. Once we do that, we'll gladly accept a battle with SIN.

Still waiting for your reply to see when will you be free to conduct my admission test. I found you quite a few times before, just that you didn't gave me any response then...

Anyways, no hurries, no rush. Just letting you know I'll be ready anytime if you can find me (or vice versa)

It should just be 10:30PM for those of us in the UK right?

Welcome, AldonahZero! As Lucina (StrawHatter) pointed out, we do in fact have a Skype group, so message Cherry or myself your contact deets and we'll get you in there ASAP!

And as a final note, when is this team battle again? I'll brush off some dust if I can make it.

Testers will get to you at whatever times they can find you. If two people can't get to you quickly, I'll give you the test myself.

Regarding the team battle, I was thinking Sunday would be a good option. It's still the weekend and no one has anything to do early on in the morning (It should be like 11 AM for EST?), and UK time doesn't seem too bad for it either. I'll be staying out of this one, so if you guys find Tsurugi on Sunday, you can start the Team Battle unless Beryl's taking the charge. I'll tell Tsurugi Sunday is the day if everyone who wants to participate is okay with it.

Also, I hope I'm not the only one out of the leaders recruiting at the moment. If I am, I'm going to be quite upset...

Post by: Beryl on October 19, 2014, 03:37:29 PM
After much deliberation and consideration, particularly in regards to the in-house drama on the Skype chat and the unfortunate leave of Cherry, aka one of the few people that wanted this team to go somewhere, as well as school interfering with my own ability to leave, it is my duty to inform the entirety of CFA that I am shutting down La Famiglia di Zi Koannia.

I want to thank everyone that has been involved, or was still involved, with the team at the time of this decision. It is my hope that you all find other teams that are capable of harvesting your potential and cultivating your skill.

I myself will more than likely be retreating into the shadows as a man without a home for a while. As previously mentioned, school is a hassle, and recent events regarding the forum put me in a position to not want to lead anymore.

With fondest regards,

Beryl
