The AoD Housewarming Party

Since we've all settled in nicely to number 1337 Agamaggan road, we thought it was about time we threw a fancy dress house-warming party to appease the god of beer(who's portfolio also happens to include raid progress :D).

Unfortunately for us, rather too many people turned up to be able to fit into AoD Towers and we were about to call the whole thing off when Evilash said he knew an ideal spot that he'd broken into only last week to sap all the residents and pickpocket all their loose change, and that would be perfect for our little party. So off we set and after a little while arrived outside the Dancing Troll nightclub.

a short climb up the wall, and a little breaking and entering later, and we were inside. time for a headcount on the entry bridge. (click for full size image)


None of the partygoers had managed to get lost on the way to the club, so clearly not enough beer had been consumed, thus we decamped the bridge to terrorise the barstaff.

As it turns out, Dancing Troll nightclub wasnt big enough to hold all of us either, so it took us several minutes to get our alcohol and convene outside in the beer garden, with our tree trolls content to use the tavern roof in the absence of actual trees.


Hours later, and after we cleaned the place dry of alcohol it was throwing out time. The first ones outside stole all the taxi's, so the rest of us had to walk home.

As is the law with drunken walks home, we got a bit lost and got into a fight with some dude called Velen and his 3 mates who were preaching at us for some reason. After a short battle we realised we'd actually gone and killed them.

We gathered into a circle to argue about what to do when we noticed Evilash bend down, steal the 94 gold coins from the big blue chap's wallet and scarper. With the alarms and whistles of the approaching guards ringing and echoing off the walls, we quickly followed suit.


Before we finally disbursed to our trees, caves and coffins we all agreed we'd had a pretty fun night out and and arranged to do it again soon.

anyhow folks, im off to sleep off the rest of this hangover, Kenval out.

MagWipeathon Over And Done!

A picture is worth a lot of words, but the cheers in /raid and TS are priceless.


We all know we should have added this big bad boy to our kill list much earlier, but somehow we couldn't. Plagued (lol) by bad co-ordination, lack of warlocks, lag, the seven scourges of egypt, etc, maggy still probably holds the record of most wipes before actual kill that this guild has (even Nefarion died faster). Anyhow, it seems that recently we're back to our usual raiding quality (don't laugh :P) and our minds are actually focused.

Here's a snap of us getting ready after wipe 10.001


Still, if nothing else perseverence triumphs. After a series of very decent attempts, we finally managed to master the encounter, time the collapses and have people awake to take over cube duty when people DCed. In a relative break of tradition, this first kill was actually flawless instead of a maddening DPSfest at 1% with all the tanks dead.


Apologies for the lack of usual banter and humor, not up to it today. I promise to be more flowery on monday when we celebrate the first Hydross keel.

Gone fishing...

After a long hard trek from the eastern european hell of shadowmoon, the cruel officers of this guild decided to give people a small break, and arranged a laid back fishing expedition. The usual bunch of Venerable Shadows also decided to tag along with the pink picnic baskets Nickodemus had prepared and all indications showed that a jolly time would be had by all.


Amazingly, there was probably some mix up with the travel agency that we used to book the trip, cause apparently the denizens of the Serpentshrine caverns weren't that well disposed towards our light hearted jaunt. But given the fact that this was not an official FloorWiper(tm) expedition, the boys and girls decided that it would be bad form to clean those caves on an off day. So whistling a merry tune we decided to WTFPWN the evil squid spawn of hell. Presented with an organised front of fun loving tourists with fireballs, the mobs really had no chance. I am pretty sure that after the second pull they really wanted to surrender, but given the fact that it was raining purples that day we showed no quarters. Blame the greedy druids, really :)

The trash farming continued for an extended period of time (something akin to a chinese whale operation), until everyone got really sated and decided to actually have that damn picnic near that harmless glowing strange pool we saw over there. Once again, something was amiss, cause something took offence! Actually we must have probably done something really bad to it in a former life, cause it was impressively annoyed with us, and proceeded to give us a few humiliating trashes. But giving up is not a FloorWiper(tm) trait, so after Kommandant Donnin gave the lads a few scuba lessons, it was time to stick it back to mr. Tentacles.


Heck, if Johhny Depp>>Big Squid, then AoD >>> Lurker Below. Elementary math! And if by anychance you are one of our alliance gank victims and want to report us to WWF for endangering loot heavy wildlife, here's the traditional killshot (this is Agamagan now, so no corpses of Vault 13 in the background, sorry :P) - click to enlarge and see harold


And if you are jonesing for more FloorWiper(tm) adventures, have no fear. We have already been called to do something about Lady Vashl's murloc infestation... stay tuned :)
