I can’t figure out a way to make this embed (there’s a link that says “embed” but it doesn’t work) so I have to use a hack. Click the link to see the latest LoO update – it will pop to a new window.
I have so many screenshots that I don’t know where to start. In fact, I started three different posts and none of them made me happy. I guess the third time isn’t a charm! Stupid math! Math is hard! And I’m not the only one having problems.
The latest raid schedule is up and posted in the Member Forum. It is my regret that, out of a seven-day week, there are four nights of scheduled raids – but since nothing is mandatory, there is plenty of time for everyone to pick and choose what they would like to do. If you don’t want to go anywhere for whatever reason, then it’s no big deal. Remember, it’s your playtime and we respect that. Mostly.
A lot of us are working on honor grinding and some are leveling twinks. For those individuals who have been helping out with twink instance runs, thank you so much.
Of course, some of us are better at it than others.
And not just once, but twice.
If you have a twink that needs an invitation, don’t be shy in asking. We usually allow those in with little trouble.
Usually. If I suspect you’re Biggerbeef, you’re going to have a small task in order to get in.
Come on! It’s not like I ask for a lot.
FAIL! I invited him anyway though, because he threatened to autofollow me. Like he doesn’t do that anyway.
Anyway, if any of those non-raiding type options don’t strike your fancy, you can always work on your tradeskills. That’s what Biggerbeef does when he’s not getting smacked on the head by bosses. It’s soothing.
I experienced his skill ups first hand. He’s kind of like that favorite pet who kills rodents and birds and leaves them on your doorstep. But hey, at least I can say this about our newest tank: He knows how to use the mailbox a lot better than Zug.
And that was just the first four pages.
Retribution followed shortly after. I have connections.
Of course I paid! Only the best for you, BB, because I’m such a good friend. But what do you know? Arcadi gave me a freebie!
Sweet!
Every LoO raid has received a slight overhaul in some regard. Wednesday Night Fites have been set to “kill”, with more challenging targets. Kara raids have continued with great success, many badges, and upgrades for all. As you’ve already read, we’re taking away the “imposed stop time” and we’re going to play every night by ear. Most of us have done enough online gaming to know that raiding is a commitment – not just to an instance, but to each other. It’s a social thing. Shadow said it best on the forums: We don’t really like to have rules, but when we have so many people involved in an event, we have to at least have a loose set of guidelines so we don’t step on each other’s toes. To be honest, we really only have the rule for one reason only. Since I’m such a nice person, I’d never point this reason out.
I don’t have to. They do it for me.
At any rate, we’re doing amazingly well on every raiding front. We’re having a fun time getting badges and upgrades – just remember it’s a game and we shouldn’t try delving into deeper meanings.
We’re continuing to face new challenges and learning to die in new and unspeakable ways. My therapy bill is in the mail.
No need to thank me for that visual. Hot pokers for eye gouging will be going on sale at the end of this post. Act now and get a set of matching egg cups for only $19.99!
We’ve also brought back the guild PvP Night. Because we’ve cleared the weekend for Kara, we’re moving this to Thursday. There’s not a whole lot to say about the PvP nights that you don’t already know. We get into groups and head into a bg together. Your behavior in the guild PvP group should be the same respectful behavior you exercise alone in the battleground.
Please be advised that someone is going to need a cave or bush for Lunachik. Or maybe he can hide behind a fat tauren who he can autofollow. Something tells me BB isn’t going to volunteer for the job.
At first I thought this was a joke.
Every time I read the above screenshot, my reaction is always the same: “WTF? You what?”
At this point, I was still in disbelief that we actually have a battleground afker in our guild. I wasn’t really sure how to react, to be quite honest! I was stunned, and not in a good way.
But alas, it’s true. We have a battleground afker, people.
The only way I know how to deal with it is screenshot the hell out of it and allow everyone else to have a good laugh about it too. I guarantee this will not be the last time you see this on the front page.
Apparently pretty well, because he was in AV and he never responded, even though I kept talking to him for the next few minutes.
But he’s not the only one at fault in the battlegrounds. You know what I’m talking about:
The Last Days of Urassmyfoot
I guarantee it had little to do with his offensive name. Let me say this: If you’ve known for a while now that someone is going to eventually petition your name, calling the battlegroup nasty names isn’t going to keep you under the radar.
Yeah. This is what NOT to do in the battleground while you wear the LoO tag next to your name.
I’m not a huge fan of that word (go figure) so I probably would have lodged a complaint as well, if I hadn’t been so busy trying to defend something.
That’s all? I figured it would have been for the other thing he said. But whatever.
I screenshotted this dude’s server, but I can’t find it now. Anyway, a couple of days later, Zug logged in and was immediately taken to a screen that politely informed him of his offensive character name, and a text window allowed him to select a new name.
So hey, why not go with a name that had previously been petitioned on another character? It’s the smart thing to do! The only reason I don’t mind it is because of the great acronym.
Fitting. Nice. I like it.
And now for your moment of Zug.
