WSG, Guilds, and Comics (OR: Justin is Easily Amused)
May 12, 2008I’d like to take a moment and talk about Warsong Gulch, more commonly known as WSG. As a 19 twink, Deutirium will be spending a lot of time in that particular battlefield, and though her blades may spill many liters of blood, I believe that she will never be satisfied until every game is played with precision, skill, and teamwork.
So, in other words, never.
A good amount of the time, though, she gets lucky and gets grouped with some great people. Most notably, the 19 twinks from Crushridge Legends on our own server, and the folks from the guild Heroic Vengeance on the Darkspear server. The last group in particular was amazingly fun to play with, and provided me with some of my best memories of WSG. Playing with those groups epitomizes, at least for me, what WSG is all about. It’s about teamwork, tactics, and winning, while having a blast doing so. For example, the games Seaborgium and myself played with Heroic Vengeance were played with a maximum of 2 deaths per game, often due to us goofing off. We were able to play pass with the flag as we walked (yes, walked, not ran) back to base.
Now THAT’s what Willis was talkin’ ’bout.
Unfortunately, there are also the many, many WSG games that are little more than honor farming games in the middle of the field while the Horde sneak into and out of our base like a bad cartoon thief. These are the situations that make me want to tear my hair out. Why, WHY, are we so retarded, Alliance? I know there are intelligent people that play on our faction. I’ve even MET some. I’m sure the reason for the stupidity of my particular faction has been overdiscussed, so I won’t theorize here, but I will say there should be some sort of IQ test taken to be able to participate on certain servers. Just lump all the morons together and let nature run its course.
So our twink guild, <The Periodic Table>, is about 4/5 complete. My twink, Deutirium, is for all intents and purposes complete, though she needs Nethercleft instead of Nethercobra and she still needs her Fishing Hat/Boots + PvP dagger and trinket. Also completed are Tellurium (though he’s most likely retired), Tritium (our fearless leader), and Seaborgium (proof that Warlocks CAN kick ass in the 19 bracket). Yttrium, our Hunter, is fully done with his gear, he just needs to hit 19. Cheer for us, and remember: If you’re planning on making a twink on Crushridge, take a gander at the Table of Elements for your name, and toss one of us a PST. You’ll be welcome among us
Finally, I’d like to mention my desire to do a WoW webcomic, most likely based around our guild and the random oddities found within the World of WoWCraft (like Murloc eye drop rates XD). I’m not sure how it’ll pan out, but I’ll be sure to put up the first strip here for the viewing pleasure of whoever stumbles upon this silly little blog.
Until next time, cats and kittens, be safe, buckle up, and always remember to turn off your oven.
