So much to tell! The past month and a half have been packed full of excitement for us. We broke into Mount Hyjal and the Black Temple, and have been wreaking havoc since first contact. With the last update, I promised results… well, sad to say I’ve been slacking on posting, but the promised results are here!
In the Battle of Mount Hyjal, we’ve taken down Rage Winterchill, Anetheron, Kaz’rogal, and Azgalor. Four of five ain’t bad, amirite? As far as the Black Temple goes, we’ve killed High Warlord Naj’entus, Supremus, Shade of Akama, and Teron Gorefiend. Next up is Gurtogg Bloodboil… let’s be honest though, with a name like that he’s just begging for someone to put him out of his misery.
In an unnecessary move to circumvent skepticism, I present the newest set of kill shots:
Yes, once again, our rogues came through. Jesu, to be exact. Congratulations for being an excellent photographer! You may pass Go, however you do not collect $200.
In other gnews, this weekend saw the first of many gnomish war councils. Policy changes were made, drinks were consumed, policy changes were reversed, yet more drinks were consumed, sexual harassment lawsuits were provoked… I’m sure you can infer the rest. Many thanks to everyone who made such a special gathering possible — it is quantifiable proof that the relationships we form while playing WoW transcend the game and are, in fact, perhaps even more genuine than many of the transitory connections we make at school, work, and (in the case of our mages, warlocks, and rogues) in the bar.
But enough of the sappy stuff! The ultimate outcome of this weekend’s war council, in which every class* was represented, was a general decision that due to the discrimination experienced by gnomes as a result of the tragic loss of their homeland to level 30 troggs, the guild ought to set right the injustices of past decades and provide reparations.
The culmination of the weekend was when Gnidget, in a drunken rage, proclaimed: “From gnow on, thar shall be twice the dkp for gnomes as thar is fer othar, lesser races…” At this point, he turned to me with a conspiratorial wink and berated the nightstand, continuing: “Yesh, thash right, I be talkin’ ’bout NIGHT ELFSH!! Take that, Lubor! Why gnot take a trip to Ak’Anon an’ ashk the rogue guildmashter where to find your corpsh?” To be honest, I’m not quite sure where he was going with that; all I know is that from now on, gnomes will receive a 2x multiplier for all raid attendance. (Gnomettes will receive 2.5x!)
* All classes of course refers to every class that gnomes choose to be, because the rest of the “classes” are just icing on the cake, yeah?
But what would a front page post be, without a recruiting plug? The critics demand, so here ya go!
Hate “Lost”? Can’t stand that self-righteous jerk-off, Jack? Locke is just too damn crazy, Kate is too flaky, they killed off the hot blond in Season 2, and Hugo reminds you too much of yourself? Don’t worry… I won $114 million in the lottery too, we each bear our own respective cross. Nonetheless, if you find yourself lonely and bored on Thursday nights, with a mean itch to kick some ass and rock some PvE content, there’s a significant chance that we need you just as much as you need us. Head on over to the Join page, look it over, and submit an app. Bonus dkp is available if you spoil the episodes for the people who care too much to pay attention to the raid!
