My Bones

Jun25

As I understand it, Turnizzle, who was also an officer, quit the guild as well as another person, probably the guy who server transferred.   I know Turn was ticked about not doing heroics that last time because we were missing one person.

Anyway ran a few TB’s today only because Ladiesman was there.  One time we lost, the next time we won, when he came as alliance.  I was allowed to free cast my ass off behind a column in ICG with only token attempts to kill me, and I was defended very well by alliance the entire time too. That was a good win.

Afterwards I got in 2 kills by doing my usual guard trick.   We must have really confused that bbqtwilight warlock since we were both standing around flagged, outside of the guards, not killing each other.  My alliance card, it’s gone, you can hear it being ripped in the wind already.  He did kill me at least once, though.  Today I learned, by him being sassy and saying my skeleton was cute, that draenei skeletons do indeed have a tail bone, and horns.  That’s attention to detail for ya XD

Left Bloodbathed and Beyond

Jun24

Ran rated bgs today with mostly Action Nine News, since they were looking in trade for a healer. Ran with Soanso who did the trade spamming, Bremen, Attica, Swan, Yeesha, Engelizer, Yuliana, Mauker, Gorgor. Lost AB, won next AB, won TP, lost Gilneas, won Gilneas, won TP. So 4 wins 2 losses and got cap. I was already near cap thanks to VP to CP trades counting towards your cap, but still I prefer healing larger groups.

I also, yesterday, dropped guild on all my characters. Having so many raids cancelled, running with almost an entirely new team, poor participation when I needed a dungeon run, being afraid to ask in guild for a dungeon run since the bads always wanted to come with… just had enough. Also annoying, having the last 5 “heroic” runs either cancelled or turned into normal runs, well, was tired of it. We weren’t going to get any new recruits messing up normal runs so bad either. I just saw a continual loop of getting nowhere is all.

Being guidless opens one up to annoying random invites from low level guilds with no raids done at all. Had one level 2 guild ask me to join and said they could convince me to join, I said I already see you’ve done no raids (not doing that again) and they said we’re raiding right now DUH. See, you already had me at “no raids down” but the duh really topped it. Had another guild just throw me an invite and basically said I should just join because they are awesome. Yes, well, you also have no raids down.

Swan from Action Nine News told me I could join as a casual though, which means there is not a raid spot that needs filling. Their raiding times from wowprogress wouldn’t suit me anyway, I don’t raid on Tuesday and starting at 7:30 wouldn’t work for me. But they are level 25 and good raiders, so the first good offer I’ve gotten. But I’d really need another guild of similar raid times that I had, like 8-11 or 12 fri/sat and maybe a wed/thur. I don’t know. I feel bad about quitting but the frustration I was getting from raiding wasn’t worth it.

I LOVE MIDSUMMER

Jun24

After stealing all the fires on my shaman, I decided to check my mage and see what I had left to do for the Midsummer fire festival.  All I had was the juggling, so I got that, and now I have the Flame Warden title.  Stout had that way back when as I recall.  Sigh Stout, hope he comes back. Anyway, the outfit with the crown, IS AWESOME!

Dear Arcane

Jun20

Dear arcane, really? Signed me.

Ran a regular heroic today with some guildies, unfortunately all dps. I don’t think I’ve had a run with a guild tank since Acks ran me through something. Or Maice. DPS are always ready to go, but tanks, healers, not so much. Sigh. Anyway embarrassingly got the achievement for Vortex today since I had never done it on the mage. Also got in my TB win, and since I’m missing Rinni, spent A LOT OF TIME dying over and over at Slags charging after the horde. There was one feral druid who kept saying things to me which I wish I could translate.

During one of the battles, when it was clear we were losing I left about 30 seconds before the fail, was in the middle of typing to Ladiesman “nah nah I’m on the bridge” (our original meeting spot before we ever started talking) when he sapped me, on the bridge XD Sneaky devil! Had numerous fights just outside the bridge as well, but the horde advantage of being so much closer to said bridge is… well just unfair. Once horde are off the bridge, any ranged class, mages, warlocks, hunters, etc, are almost guaranteed to pull their guards since they only have to run about 5 yards to get to their camp. Pet classes have to be especially careful. I appreciate the guards being there but they kind of screw up after battle pvp when you get one up your ass when trying to kill fleeing horde. I mean, maybe an archway that just unflags you at the entrance to both camps would be a better idea. Then if you want to puss out on your flag status you can.

Yomommaa

Jun11

I’ve been seeing another BE rogue in TB lately by the name of Yomommaa, who is good, but still not like Ladiesman. Turns out they are friends, and I went into a vent with the both of them while they ganked alliance before and after a battle. We lost the first one, but won the second. I don’t really stand much of a chance against two sub rogues though.
