Legacy of Oblivion

A couple of months ago, the “Jedii Council” started recruiting.

Explain this to me, please. At the time most of us were thinking, “Who in the hell would join a guild with such a retarded name?” In fact, I’m still wondering it. First of all, why would you want your guild to be associated with probably the biggest blunder in follow-up movies and the most annoying whiner-turned-villain in the history of movies? I honestly didn’t think they would last long, because I didn’t see them getting many recruits.

I was wrong.

They will begin MC in a few weeks? WTH? How did this happen? Where in the hell did a guild with such a retarded name find enough capable people to do that? And your recruiter’s name is YODAJEDI? Good God, I would have read that as disaster and stayed away. Who are they finding that wants to be a part of that craptastic moniker?

Ah. I see.

I guess this really is proof that spamming chat channels can actually gain recruits who are smarter than a box of rocks. Still, I can’t imagine that this kind of spamming works well for everyone. Here’s another guild that I had been following for a while: “The Stonecutters.”

I don’t know why they are cutting stone, or what the deal is with “games for officers.” I had kept this screenshot because I planned on making fun of their games for officers, but a bunch of people in Booty Bay beat me to the punch.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Ample topped off the conversation with this :

I don’t know who in the hell these “Fun Lovin’ Criminals” are (I’ve only seen a few of them around) but we need to find out and ally with them. If they’re anything like that Ample dude, they are awesome.

At any rate, I think we can firmly conclude that spamming chat channels isn’t 100% effective. Either that, or you really need to make sure you aren’t putting a freaking bullseye on your forehead like poor Freezeemage, or whatever his goofy-ass name is.

Oh, and before we move on, Riprider is looking for a guild.

Riprider is looking for “end game side,” and it is good that he’s being specific, otherwise he’s going to end up with a guild who only runs VC four days a week. Strangely enough, he believes that there aren’t already 23948279384739274 hunters on the server, and that an end-game guild would want one more. Good luck, Riprider. We’ll be watching your progress. If he’s not guilded before the month is out, we should introduce him to the Jedii Council. It’s our duty… as complete and utter bastards.

Here’s another jerk, I mean PERSON, who is looking for a guild.

Xgimli! We should find the guild that houses all of the “Leegollasases” and sign him up so he can be with his LOTR friends. And apparently he wants you to give him a least 2g for the pleasure of his company. IRL, we call these people “Cheap Hookers.”

Okay, let’s move on because we do have some pressing guild matters to address.

First of all, there have been some issues with nicknames and pronounciation.

Marzia (AKA Matelda) would like everyone to know that his name is not pronounced “Marsha” and he is not in any way to be associated with the Brady Bunch. As alternatives, he is suggesting the following:

I don’t know is those are really going to work, so we will be taking suggestions and will follow up later with a nickname. In the meantime, I have modified his player note on the in-game roster…

…Although I’m not sure who the joker was that fixed his Officer note. I’m not changing it though. While you are thinking up some new nicknames for Matelda, please keep this in mind:

Speaking of which, there are new developments surrounding Food TV chicks, specifically Rachel Ray. Iraas, you have competition.

If you remember, Zug really loves Giada DeLaweirdface:

Iraas and Matelda, on the other hand, love Rachel Ray:

Now, I have to point something out (again): Giada Delaweirdface has boobs like a Skipper Barbie. Or like a small child’s kippot.

Rachel Ray, on the other hand, is a bit different:

She DOES have Roma Tomato boobies.

Long, and kinda droopy. And by the way, she was airbrushed in that picture shown above. And photoshopped.

We’re starting to kind of get a raid night established – and it looks like Friday will be the day, despite the number of BSG fans in the guild. (Hopefully that doesn’t make us look extremely nerdy, but hey, we just finished another round of “Food TV Boobies” so if people who don’t know us weren’t scared before, they are now.) Right now it looks like we’re going to have small groups until the rest of us can catch up – which is probably just a few weeks away. If you can participate, please be sure to sign up under the appropriate thread in the Raid Forum so we know how many people can make it. Depending on how many can attend, we will probably have to be flexible with where the raid/group is held until everyone else can level up. (I’m working on it – stop your complaining!) Bara is almost 50, Cara is in his high 30’s – hell, you know he’ll probably hit 60 before me and I’ve got something like 9 levels on him. I’m 44 now, Iraas is 43, and Soulnecrous just transferred his 40-something warrior to this server. So that gives us another meatshield. Grim is now leveling up a priest and should be high enough very soon – ok, ok, he’s only 12 right now but if we all take turns powerleveling him… And Rhuinn is getting pretty far with her new warlock, although she is starting to worry me…

Huh. Let’s hope she sticks with the Durid.

And while the thought of a 5-man instance might not exactly be your idea of excitement, have no fear, Caul is here with his latest UI find: Trivia.

It works a bit like this:

Seems easy enough, right? If you have not yet spent time with the LoO/TAB gang and the Trivia Bot, you’re missing out. Here are some highlights from last weekend:

STOP GOOGLIGN!

Anyway, so no – you don’t have to know anything to play this game. If you aren’t high enough level to participate in raid night, at least log in on Friday night and participate in the trivia portion.

Lastly, there has been more confusion surrounding some of the latest LoO/TAB lingo, specifically the greeting, “Nooog.” Now, we have a few different greetings in the guild, and that’s because we are a friendly group of people, most of whom have known each other for a while and have been gaming together for quite some time. This close bond we share is authentic, and our friendship is timeless. And that’s why we greet each other so warmly.

See?

Anyway, everyone is wondering what a “Nooog” is, and to make it clear, here is the official answer from Thundrax, our resident linguist:

And there you have it. Now use it three times in a sentence, so you will remember it. Have a good weekend, everyone.
