The four horsemen with their trophy resonators hahaha

- the original plan was to do raids on Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Puchong and Sunway portals ... but we had to change due to several high level players not being able to come. 
- Realizing being low level players, we decided over breakfast to pool our xmp bursters and attempt to take control over the portal in UKM Bangi.
- And the result ... haha fireworks! Over 100 lvl 1/2 bursters spent to take over the lvl 4 portal. Phew, teamwork rules :)
