Talk:Besieged Server Records

Server Record Discussion
Maybe there should be a section on server records, like the order each server first lost a besieged and to whom. Maybe every 2 or 3 months, this section, or maybe subpage could be updated by people from each server to give the win:loss ratio over time. I envision a table, like 2Q 06 3Q 06 4Q 06 1Q 07, etc, with rows for each server.

Here's what I've gathered so far:

Diabolos- 7/18/06 to Undead Swarm source --Ichthyos 17:04, 18 July 2006 (EDT)

I've got the data table I'm working with down below. I just wish I could get the information from Hades. All the missing information's basically from them. So far, it seems nobody has lost to the Trolls (outside of that 1 server maintenance). --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 01:42, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Phoenix- 7/19/06 to Undead Swarm ~16:30 EDT recovery ~24:00 EDT --Hanyoko 01:50, 20 July 2006 (EDT)

Carbuncle- 25/07/06 Trolls followed immediatley by Trolls + Maintenance = loss (rant: maintence said would take a few minutes and it is now at 2hour mark) will update table when I get the wins.--Perim 15:11, 25 July 2006 (EDT)

Excluding the 4 technical losses:

7 losses to Mamool Ja,

11 losses to Undead,

0 losses to Trolls,

3 data missing

Conclusion: the Undead are the most powerful, the Trolls completely suck--zoogelio-forgot-his-password 19:51, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

If people can update the missing info from Ifrit's 2nd loss and add new losses, that would be cool since I'm only going to be able to check forums for any server losses sporadically between now and late July. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 17:22, 4 July 2006 (PDT)

Apparently, only Odin & Fairy lost during the June 19th Blitz. I still have yet to hear from Bahamut, Phoenix, Alexander, Ragnarok, Cerberus, Bismarck, Hades. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 12:57, 21 June 2006 (PDT) - Shiva's sole loss was the 15th, as you confirmed, nothing on 6/19. --Snojoex 17:41, 21 June 2006 (PDT) I heard back from Bahamut, Alexander, Cerberus. Alexander lost

Any server not listed here apparently hasn't lost.

And before the July update, can players from each server get their win-loss numbers so we can have the record in case the update purges it. If updates purge it, then we can just post the win-loss ratios for the segments between updates (since FFXI regularly has 5 updates/year in Feb, April, July, Oct, Dec).

--zoogelio-forgot-his-password 18:32, 10 June 2006 (PDT) -- updated: --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 16:31, 16 June 2006 (PDT)

Remora lost to Mammol Ja Savages on 17 July 2006. Only 250 peeps in Al Zahbi for the level 5 attack. -- Ayrlie 21:43, 17 July 2006

How to determine records
Booya! It just hit me, we have this column (in server order, not alphabetical: so Bahamut on top, Hades on bottom) and record the scores, the date listed and if scores are purged every update, we create a second table, one with the date stripped from it and just the final score listed. So, in essence, there would be 2 tables: the active besieged cycle and the historical cycle, both listed separately. And when an active cycle becomes a historic cycle, it will be moved from the active table into the historic table, forming a new column, and the active table becomes blank. That's if the scores are purged.

I recommend going ahead with what you outlined above. Server order is found on the server page on FFXI wiki or by checking the connection status of all servers on the POL website. (I'd like to see Atomos Server's score. I'm sure its 0-100 by now :D)    --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 17:08, 20 June 2006 (PDT)

Edit: I still would like to keep a running account of server losses: when and to whom at least until every server has lost once to all 3 armies.

How do you look up the win-loss record? Do you have to talk to an NPC or is it given somewhere on the regional map? The article doesn't mention this. Thanks. --Pinkfae 14:22, 23 June 2006 (PDT)

Talk to any Sanction guard, select "I have some questions..." > "Besieged." > "Empire's current state of defense." --Ichthyos 14:27, 23 June 2006 (PDT)

See Sanction. --Gahoo 14:29, 23 June 2006 (PDT)

--- Besieged timers reset after every maintenance. Expect 2 to 4 besieges within a short time once maintenance ends. -- Ayrlie 23:23, 23 June 2006 (CDT)

FFXIclopedia needs reporters for Alexander, Ifrit, Ragnarok, Pandemonium, Garuda, Cerberus, Kujata, and Seraph. Anyone who's a regular on here who can post the numbers for these servers?

And I'm wondering if it can be coordinated to get officially designated reporters for all 32 servers who can update the numbers for their server here weekly (whatever day of the week suits them best). And to get these same people to post the numbers the hours before the July update (just in case the numbers get purged with the update so we can have numbers that are collected at about the same time for all servers so the most they could be off is by 1). --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 13:11, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

Fairy apparently lost again today: http://ffxi.killvoid.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=125926 --Aurikasura 18:05, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

--- The records of remora server may not be up to date for now. I've been forced away from the game due to personal reasons. --Ayrlie 18:51, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

Records moved
The records look nice on their own page. A little room to spice up the page, but I have to say I'm pleased with the move --Ganiman 05:59, 6 July 2006 (PDT)

Asura info
Ah Asura lost at least once to Mamool Ja >.< I'll check and edit later what the new 'score' is because it's been back since err Saturday and I know we won the next attack by the trolls --Tattersail 06:31, 10 July 2006 (PDT)

Server Losses (Details)
This is a more detailed table with all the information above. It's everything I have gathered up. I'm using this to determine the order servers lost their 1st besieged, who lost twice before the others, who lost first, second, fifth, etc to the Undead, etc. It's only for maintaining records, NOT for any bragging rights (every server has its strong points and weak points). My eventual aim is to have a Server Statistics section on each server page with information derived from this, the order Relic Weapons were obtained in/which ones a server obtained before other servers, etc, and the order the servers beat Twinkling Treant in. See its page for a table of the info I was able to gather up on it.

 * Shiva [4] - 8/3/06 to Undead Swarm

Data: Needs information.
 * Hades [9]- 8/3/06 or 8/4/06 to ?????

NEEDED: Fairy's 4th & 5th loss Hades' 5th, 6th, 7th, & 9th loss Garuda's 3rd & 4th loss Bismarck's 6th loss Shiva's 2nd & 3rd loss Beastmen army for the server losses marked with ????? (at least 5-6 so far)

Servers undefeated as of 1 August: Bahamut		Titan Fenrir*		Leviathan Odin*		Caitsith	Quetzalcoatl* Siren		Unicorn		Lakshmi

(there's only been 3 out of a few dozen losses so far). Since it was a technicality, they are treated as if they are undefeated.
 * = defeated during a server maintenance. Server maintenance losses are excluded from formal counts

7/13 Seraph loss #4 Undead

We need someone reporting in for Hades, I read on one forum they had their 6th loss on the 17th. I've managed to get information for all servers' losses completely except for Hades. I have no info on their 4th or 5th losses (when and who), nor who they lost to on the 17th. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 01:42, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

FYI. Phoenix's first lost came 7/19/06 to undead swarm. --Gahoo 13:18, 20 July 2006 (EDT)

Hmm, I think the data section is a good idea. I'm beginning to notice a pattern to the losses (not that many people in the zone). Whenever we get losses posted, if people can check how many people are in the zone, we may find out where the cutoff point is for winning/losing (at what point below which victory is extremely hard to pull off). Though it would still be nice to get Hades' data since they're the little black hole in the data set (I'm a little pissed on that point because all my avenues for finding out turned up nothing so far and none of their forums, here, Allakhazam, FFXI Online: Dreams in Vana'diel, KI, have people who would post or know that information, and searches of blogs and live journals and doing a few searches using different search terms came up negative as well). --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 19:48, 20 July 2006 (EDT)

I see Fairy has 5 losses. I need info on when the 4th and 5th losses were and who they were too. --zoogelio-forgot-his-password 00:25, 23 July 2006 (EDT)

Ramuh lost on 23 July 2006, according to the forums on ffxionline.com. -- Ayrlie 18:29, 23 July 2006 (CDT)

Can we have final reports on Besieged victory-loss numbers for all servers before the update starts? Try to get the word out to get everything updated here.

No reset with the update. --Tsakiki 19:57, 24 July 2006 (EDT)

Carbuncle's loss today was due to a maintance that started in the middle of the fight. way to go sqeenix.... :( our loss was to the trolls Ferine 19:02, 25 July 2006 (EDT)

Bahamut's probably about to lose. Just had a 2 hour event vs. the undead swarm (win), leaving us with 1 general and the mamool ja at stage 2.--Timon of Athens 03:49, 28 July 2006 (EDT)         Hmm.. seems we pulled out a win after all. Surprising considering how many people left, me included.--Timon of Athens 03:51, 29 July 2006 (EDT)

Carbuncle have lost again, off to bed so can't check wins/losses to update the table, will do it in the morning. Loss was to the Mamool Ja Savages.--Perim 21:10, 31 July 2006 (EDT)

According to posts on Killing Ifrit Hades forum, they lost to Trolls either on 30 July or 31 July. -- Ayrlie, 00:51, 1 August 2006 (CDT)

Remora got screwed out of the AC. Undead attacked shortly before maintenance begin, and people were booted due to maintenance. There were over 500 people awaiting the undead. Ayrlie, 15:31, 1 August 2006 (CDT); edited 15:47, 4 August 2006.

Titan
Titan might lose. We started with only 190 people in the zone, and only now are people pouring in AFTER 5 generals died.

EDIT: Nevermind. Come from way behind victory. Terance

Phoenix loss #2 - 8/7/06 to Mamool Ja. --Gahoo 15:17, 8 August 2006 (EDT)
