Hi Victorious Secret.

I am a representive from the guild Innovation. Currently we are starting MC and are looking for potential member to join a "Fair Mc Allaince" to do weekly raids. Either on Fridays or Saturdays. What Exactly is a Fair alliance?

A fair alliance is one that, once a perminant alliance made, despite which guild the members are from, everyone will get fair invites and dkp.

Dkp will be counted as this: 4dkp/hour and 10dkp/bosses | Items will be: opening bidded upon drop

Invites: Will be from a website based sign up

Also, the alliance will end at a date agreed upon by all the gms. There will not be a sudden "we have too many of our own now, goodbye alliance" This will ensure that all guilds involved regarldess of size wont be disappointed.

Thank You and Free to contact Pretty or Revero in Game

Dear Pretty,

Please learn to proofread and spellcheck. As an ambassador for your guild, you make yourself and everyone who put you in this position look like A FUCKING RETARD.

Love,
Aro

It's well known that raiding MC damages your spelling.

OMG!! The horror of it...the horror of the spelling!! (and grammar)

Alright Ben - Next writeup topic: Innovation

It's well known that raiding MC damages your spelling.


He's diplomatic even for OTHER people! :)

I thought I was too nice Gleja, you take the cake!

Dear Pretty,

Obviously your ability to read is about on par with your ability to write/spell. I was under the impression that the public image of VS was "casual" and that the Inimitable Killian has made it clear to gamers that we are not likely to ever be interested in making DKP and MC runs. While your post and ignorance has made my day at work that much more enjoyable, I'm quite busy today and am regretful that I cannot devote as much snark to you as I would normally.

Oh, and I'm pissed that the moment I read your username, I had that repetitive Cranberries song in my head.

Love schmoo

S'ok, I was a dick to some dork outside of LBRS last night.

S'ok, I was a dick to some dork outside of LBRS last night.

And was that dork's name by any chance *Pretty* ???

no, Misery. heh

They can both die in a fire.

Gotta say my favorite part is where s/he misspells 'representative'.

And that RIGHT next to the 'Post' button is the 'Spell Check' button.


yeash.

Misery was a ass.

Misery & I had some whisper action once we went into the instance. He asked if I was an "English magor." I said "It's major. And no, I'm just an adult." Then he got all huffy "I'm an adult!"

Then, in my favorite come back of all time, he tells me that "Being 18 doesn't make you an adult." Not much I could say to that, so I just laughed at him & hit /ignore.

It does amaze me that s/he didn't take the time to read the guild info, but I do feel like at least s/he tried to be polite about it. I was debating just posting something like, "No thank you, the guild as a whole is not interested in a raiding alliance, and indeed, the fact that you have mentioned it here will make the majority of us itch as surely as if we had stepped unwittingly into several gleaming clusters of leaves-of-three."

However, I do think if we could find this sort of thing with good spellers, it would be good for our players who would like a peek at the end content, but aren't interested in getting all hardcore about it. A Saturday only thing they could sign up for whenever would really be like what we're doing now, because we mostly do our own thing on Saturdays anyway.

Mind you, these people in particular make me cry, as I do not know what a 'purposal' could possibly be. Perhaps it is a sort of seagoing mammal? Perhaps it is a sort of cheese that we can ninja? Only Ben's research will tell for sure.

... Ahahahaah AWESOME. I am so sad I didn't get any Misery fun.

And yeah, Ing, that's the thing -- I would like to SEE endgame whatnot, because I think, frex, Vael's backstory is FREAKING AWESOME. I do not give a shit about phat lewts with the exception of GLOWING HAT. OKAY, LOOK, YOU GUYS, GLOWING. HAT. I AM NOT MADE OF STONE. THE HAT GLOWS. ... and maybe I pine some for Anathema, but I hear tell they're going to move that piece out of MC since it's not technically 'a raid weapon' or somesuch. BUT ANYWAY there is a big difference between wanting to be a part of plot and Seeing It On The Big Screen and making it your full-time math-filled bid-war job.

... and that is at the heart of the argument I had with a friend of mine who is in a hardcore DKP raiding guild. I would rather never raid than spend a single night with someone like Misery. Gawd.

damn, ya'll beat me to it again.

Nothing more for me to add, well nothing that wouldn't completely smack of being condescending and perhaps outright ass-ish.

And that would be different than the norm.... how?

VS, now not just cold and distant, but condescending and ass-ish!

That's what happens when you don't congratulate someone's DPS.

My first instinct was to answer in a snarky manner, all, "We are sorry that we are unable to accept your proposal. Unfortunately, our guild was exposed to gamma rays in its youth that altered the DNA of the original members, mutating them into eerily beautiful but cold and distant creatures who must live underground to avoid the fearsome rays of the ball of fire orbiting this, our home world. The same genetic alterations made them vulnerable to many things normal human beings take for granted, such as raiding. Ever since, our core members have broken out in festering hives the moment an orange line of chat appears in the window. As we are concerned for the health and comfort of these unfortunate victims, we must respectfully decline."

My second instinct was to use what Arolaide calls "the smilies of doom." Example:

Thanks for your proposal, :) but we are not interested in any raiding alliances. :) Here is our guild information, which explains the goals and setup of our guild. :) As you can see, we interested chiefly in having fun, and for many of our members, raiding is not enjoyable. :) We are not averse to some of our individual members contacting you if they would like to spend a Saturday participating in a raid, as we are very laid back on what our members choose to do in their free time. :) However, we will never feel comfortable obligating the entire guild to a raiding alliance, as it would cause far too much stress for our members who are not interested. :)

The smilies of doom are the NICE companion to business-speak, in which the word "sir" and "ma'am," when used repeatedly to address a professional rival, is widely understood to mean "bitch."

Smilies of Doom can usually be translated quite successfully as 'you stupid fuck.'

ok, if you people are gonna be witty, follow Val's example and keep it short! ;)

This person Pretty approached Pops about 'our guild' and he sent her/it/he to me. At which point, they asked me if I was an officer or the GM of the guild, which kinda irked me but anyway... They said they asked if we were interested in joining this raid guild and I said 'we're not really up for raiding MC but feel free to post your query on the boards'. Because see, I love you guys and I knew that you'd get a kick out of it.

Also, I think we should consider Ingo's backstory about our guild to be truth and follow it completely, with mandatory 'hookers and blow-covered cheese products' parties in celebration of our non-raiding uberness.

/load cold and distant

D'awww, Sherica that was so sweet!

But... but... we didn't bring anything for you. :(

:-*

While we're on the subject...

Purposal. The new Akchuly? Discuss.

it's kinda hard to work the word proposal into every sentence.

Akchuly, it's pretty damn difficult.
