Grumpus, how appropriate

Sealan, who I named my Emperor Crab after since he can be QUITE crabby, told me about the holiday dailies and the possibility of a new mount.  I leveled my priests garrison to 3, which I didn’t even want to do but, one set of dailies and BLAM!WoWScrnShot_122115_123810

The mount.  Too bad I can’t ALSO name this one Sealan.

Alliance Vanguard

I moved to Bleeding Hollow and joined Alliance Vanguard.  I think I said that.  Anyway, I’m not quite sure if it’s working out for me.

First issue was when I mentioned in guild chat that I waited 12 mins to get into a losing bg with 2 minutes left.  A rogue told me his queues were 2 minutes and 12 minutes don’t happen.  I said “good for you, I said mine were 12”.  He said that comment meant I was in ‘grade school’ and I said well you were basically calling me a liar.  Then I got called dumb for preferring to BL SoTA over AV.  I replied “oh well if you are joining me in grade school I guess we can be besties”.

 

Then I joined battlegrounds with Razorbackx and Lothabrimbor.  Loth rage quit about 1 minute into a Gilneas because we were facing a much better team. Will never, ever party with again.  I will not tolerate that.

In other news I finally killed Sinestra going after some achievements.

And this resto druid and I just came to an agreement that we couldn’t kill each other.

Arena Hot Streak

I did 2’s with Deacon, the warrior who sorta recruited me over to Bleeding Hollow on my druid, into the Alliance Vanguard guild.  They were the ones who had a few people come to our Stormpike Militia games.  Which… huh.  Don’t know if I explained that here. So first of all, got the Hot Streak achievement.

As for the SM thing, it started out when regular form-goers wanted to play together, and managed by Smellybeard, a dwarf shaman, we did wargames together for a few months.  When that went under because of drama from a few people, Mizriz and Barrym took over in the fight against Hydra, to do premades in AV.  We started calling ourselves the Forum Militia, but since everyone didn’t haunt the forums, we went with Stormpike Militia (SM).  When we had even numbers, we stomped Hydra with DAS BOOT, which I streamed for posterity. That’s where we’re at now, doing premade AV mostly trying to ferret out Hydra, but since they specifically said they wouldn’t queue on the days WE queue, it’s been harder to run into them.

However one night we SURPRISE-QUEUED into them on a Monday, and gave them a stomping. Boosh. Anyway.

So back to arena, got 10 or 11 wins in a row with Deacon, then got exploded by a hunter/boomie team and went to play AV.  Not because of the loss, mind you, but I had to do some thinking about my play.

And bless the chat in Ashran.
