In my previous spring party post, I did not mention the outfits I wore…so here they are!

Chatmay is my main as well as guildleader.  She wore:

Before the Party

Felheart Horns
Elegant Robes
Spire of Sunset
Gossamer Gloves

If you don’t have the Spire weapon, you could substitute the Dreamseeker Dandelion offhand.

Then there is Druid Gaga, our guild mascot.  Her spring party outfit used yet another stand-out helm- this time Stylin’ Purple Hat.

The outfit also included:

Bandit Jerkin
Warbear Woolies
Sandals of the Insurgent
Waterworn Handguards
Red Sparkler (not shown)

Here is another picture of the Druid Gaga outfit at the party location:

Fall Season WOW Guild Party

September and October have gone, but it is not too late to have a fall guild party in WOW!

My guild started out our party last night with the usual Druid Gaga kickoff.  She is our guild mascot and always unveils the party keg.  I even sang some rewritten Bad Romance lyrics about the alliance on ventrilo.

After that, two guildies handed out these drinks for the Drown Your Sorrows achievement:  Darkbrew Lager and Highland Spirits from cooking; Fungus Squeezings and Murky water from Grunka in Hyjal; Sparkling Oasis Water, Fresh Water and Highland Spring Water from Allison in Stormwind (alliance); and Greasy Whale Milk from Movra in Silvertide Hollow.  Be aware that to open the vendor Grunka,  you have to have done through the Commander Jarod Shadowsong quest in Hyjal, which is pretty far into it if not completely.

For this party, I also came up with a NEW GAME… Rock/Beetle/Racer!  It is like rock/paper/scissors, but in this game: Origami Beetle beats Origami Rock, Trusty Copper Racer beats Origami Beetle, and Origami Rock beats the racer.  Each person gets one of each item to start, I counted to three on ventrilo, they laid down an item.  If there is a tie, they have to get more items and go again.   You cannot click on the person you are “dueling” or wait until count 4 or 5 to lay down your item.  We did it tournament style with last one up against the person who had the most wins, but I think if I did this again I would let the winner be the person who won the most rounds.

Everyone whispered me to vote for best costume, which was a prize of 500g.  It was a fall themed costume contest.  Alas, I did not get a screenshot of the winner, but here is what I wore last night in case you are interested:

Starting the Party Early With My Turkey Leg

Russet Hat
Vizier Mantle
Geomancer’s Wraps
Embersilk Gloves
Petrified Camel Haunch

Summer Guild Party

Someone asked me last night- so why a guild party?  I explained that we have them every 3-4 months for fun and left it at that.  But again, a guild party is a good way to take a break from grinding as well as meet guildies you might not know so well.

So last night,  I hosted the “Guild Beach Par-tay” at a beach location just South of Caverns of Time in Tanaris.  I picked this location because of the events we did during the party as well as the scenic quality.  We mass summoned around 15 guildies to the beach.

I had asked people to come wearing a summer costume for a chance at a prize.  There were fire festival dresses, shorts, and bathing suits.  Many had on sunglasses, goggles, and spectracles.  I ended up not being able to pick a costume winner, so I gave away the Authentic Jr. Engineer Goggles to the winner of a roll.  Probably would have been a better idea to have an actual out-of-guild judge there for that part of the party.

I had announced also a “mystery prize” that had to be figured out.  For example- whoever does “X” at the party first wins the prize.  Since the activity was skinny-dipping first, I did give a hint when someone stripped that they were warmer.  He ended up winning that prize, which was 50g.

We also had held a sunset-themed screenshot contest on our facebook page, so that winner was picked by an inactive guildie and announced at the party.  The guildie received 300g as the prize.

Cat in the Sun

There was the usual guild performance by Lady Gaga.  Although her outfit was stunning (cindercloth set plus sandals and spectracles)  if I do say so myself, I think she might need to come up with some new material.  She did unveil the official pony keg though.

I also handed out crafted heavy leather balls to each guildie, but during the party I forgot to have this contest.  It was supposed to be a throwing frenzy for 30secs.  I was going to give the companion pet prize of Lil’ Smoky to the guildie who received the most balls in bag, but this contest could be done in many different ways.

The major draw to the beach portion of the party was the Lemmings 310 contest.  We had all guildies fly up to a cliff, jump off and die.  The winner was the guildie who landed the farthest away.  He actually passed the prize, which was 310 riding money, to the second place person though.  This was a lot of fun, but thank goodness for mass ressurection!

Party Body Pile

We then traveled to another water area- Vashj’ir zone- to kill the whale shark!  This skull NPC must be kited while everyone kills him.  Best to run if you get aggro, and we did have some deaths.  Everyone got the achievement for it though, which is shown in the screenshot here:

After Achievement

Everyone who attended the party was sent savory deviate delights by mail as a parting gift.  Overall lots of fun!

EDIT: Mtdewme made a guild movie- the 2nd part covers this party.  If you want to see it go here.

Introducing Our Guild Mascot…Druid Gaga

It was Halloween last year, my guild was having a huge pre-Halloween costume party.  I wanted to do something original and cool, when suddenly Bad Romance comes on the radio.  IDEA- Why not have a Lady Gaga costume?!

So I hunted for inspiration…how could I make this into a cool WOW costume?

So I first searched the internet of course… leading me to several articles online about how to dress up like Gaga for Halloween.  They all mentioned skimpy or no pants, tight-fitting or short bodice, and stylish shoes and accessories.

Then I watched the Pokerface video, Lady Gaga’s first big hit song.  There were lots of costumes in it, but two were prominent: the blue Poker Face Suit bathing suit outfit and the Black Crystal Catsuit.  I knew I wouldn’t be able to do the Poker Face Suit in WOW, but I thought I might be able to combine the overall look of the two in game.

Also, Gaga is known for her crazy hats if not the sunglasses.  It occurred to me that I have some pretty crazy druid helms as well.  I also turned my druid’s hair white.  So the title was born: Druid Gaga.

I went with some of the classic Black Mageweave set as well as the vest I chose to show even more skin that the mageweave chest piece.  This was the end result:

Druid Gaga!

Ellenoria, balance druid, is wearing:

Antlers of Malorne helm,

Purehorn Spaulders,

Barbaric Cloth Vest,

Black Mageweave Leggings,

and Recruit’s Boots (you can also use the Black Mageweave Boots- same thing).

I decided for the antlers over the moose horns, even Gaga doesn’t go too over the top (well most of the time).  I also used a pair of black bracers as an alternative to short black gloves, which I did not have.

Shaking it like only a Gaga can

Druid Gaga has appeared at two guild parties.  I usually hide her behind a tree and jump out somewhere during mid-party as a surprise or better late than never appearance.  At one party my guildies were even chanting- Dru-id Ga-Ga over and over…hilarious.

Now that we have so many new guild members, many of them have not seen our “mascot,” but she is due for another appearance in April.
