Pwning For Dummies (The LoOny Edition)
Hi kids. You’re going to get a real treat today! I’m going to give you a rare glimpse into what exactly makes LoOnies pwn so much. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to be just like us!
Step #1: Know thy game! Forget Thottbot or Allakhazam. If you really want to be in the know, ask our very own Arachne.

Step #2: Always keep that hearthstone ready. Otherwise, you might wind up like this sorry paladin!

Step #3: All guns go to Thundrax. He collects them. He gets really mad if he doesn’t get at least one gun per raid. And trust me, it’s better to not make Thundrax mad. I have it on very good faith that Blizzard is working on a quest at this very moment to track down the 20 pieces of the last person who did.

Step #4: Train the priest whenever possible. Especially when he’s drinking. Nothing is funnier than an angry drunk priest.

Step #5: Every now and then, stop to demonstrate to the woodland creatures that you care. They are our friends!

Step #6: Never fail to demonstrate to anyone, PC or NPC, that you pwn them. Getting into a /yell match with them is an excellent way to do this…both in Ogrimmar and out in the field.

Step #7: Finally, never forget that you play to relax. From the slew of naked night elf females inevitably dancing on a mailbox to the back massagers in Uldaman, Blizzard has provided ample opportunity to its players to take a little R&R from time to time.

I hope that you find this list useful and helpful in your own efforts to pwn. Until then, you can live vicariously through us!
In other news, the n00b crew went to Uldaman for some fun with dwarves and other miscellaneous creatures. Many thanks to Venti for getting the event going, and to Caul and Toe for running us through. We cleared most of the instance, and cleared the outside so many times that I’m still picking dwarf bits out of my armor. Here are pictures of things we made falldowngoboom:
Revelosh:

Congrats to me for vendor bait Revelosh’s Gloves of the Owl, and to Thundrax for vendor/twink/AH bait Ranger Cloak of Nature’s Wrath.
Ironaya:
Congrats to Thundrax for Ironaya’s Bracers of Stamina.
Ancient Stone Keeper:

Congrats to Thundrax for vendor bait Cragfists of the Bear.
We stopped to smack Galgan Firehammer, but due to a bunch of unexpected adds, I did not get a screenshot. Congrats Thundrax on….another gun!

Grimlok:

Congrats to me on Oilskin Leggings.
And last, but not least, the big ugly himself, Archaedas:

Congrats to me on Archaedic Stone of the Bear!
