A Fun WOW Moment Reveals….

debutante, dueling, guild, guild event, naked, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW


The good news is- yes, I still play WOW.  I was gone a week to start playing ESO,- a week mind you!- and I guess some people got worried.

The bad news is- you can’t duel naked in WOW any more.

What?

I had scheduled a naked dueling contest for my guild last night.  (Well, level 1 clothes for some that didn’t have enough bag space to get naked).  It used to be in WOW that if you took off your gear to be naked, your health would go down accordingly.  Now that is not the case, but I had not thought about this when planning the event.

Mistaken Circumstances

When I started dueling the first guildie participating, I realized that neither one of us were damaging each other.  I pulled up the “what happened to me” log, and it was showing that I was only doing 14 damage to her a hit.  So obviously, this was not going to work.  We decided to duel each other wearing our PVE gear since neither one of us really has a PVP set yet, and neither one of us has a high item level.

I beat this druid, a mage, and a priest.  I won all three.  Then I realized that the priest was not wearing the same level gear as us, so we rematched.  He won.  The prize was Lil Bad Wolf pet from Naxxramas.

I also learned during this event… never duel anyone outside the guild for fun with 90 points higher item level.  That could be bad.

Icebreaker Games for Guildies

Tonight there was a “Meet Your Guildies” event hosted by me for The Anti Drama Commonwealth (four guilds) on Proudmoore-US server.  Isayuri is GM, and I am event committee leader.

The icebreaker games– modified for WOW from a blog called Insight (see copyright attribute at the bottom) and found on Google- were played on ventrilo and are listed below.  I also included some examples:

My Name Is? – Everyone states their name to intro + adjective that describes them starting with the same letter as the name… this name will be what you are referred to during night*.   <My name was Mighty Mer.>

* During this time I had everyone in the vent group ingame mail me some things for two later games (2 Truths… and Cat in The Hat).

Two Truths and a Lie – The first game, which was sent ingame mail*, was Two Truths….  I had them send me two truths about themselves and one lie (with the lie marked on the message).

Everyone on vent then can guess 1) who the person who is being read about is and 2) which statement is the lie.  I gave five points (maybe this should go down to two or three?) for guessing the person and one point for picking the lie.  The winner, Rainelyn, received a Cockatiel pet.

We then told who the Zombie Apocalypse Team would be for each person.  It is a facebook game based on birth month, birthday, and the color shirt you are wearing right now.  Look:

zombie

We gave a prize to Ravenlee- Mist-Piercing Goggles– for the most awesome team because she was wearing three shirts.  Plus one of them was Wolverine-colored!  So that was 5 team members plus some lol.

Conversation Starters– Random questions like “Who Has the Most Pets?” and “Who Has Travelled the Farthest from Home?” were asked.  I also asked a few WOW related questions.

Cat in the Hat– I had everyone send me an ingame question (*at the beginning) using any subject they are knowledgeable about.  Make sure they are appropriate if guild rules would require it….

The question I wrote, for example, was- Who wrote the Headless Horseman?

The leader reads the name of the question then reads the question.  Our questions were all pretty hard, but we had one person guess two right- Rainelyn.  She won a Red Wine Glass offhand.

Thanks and credit to Grahame Knox for some of the icebreaker ideas-

The other night, my guild on Proudmoore-US, The Anti-Drama Society, held their first Halloween party.  The party was held at Greymane Manor in Gilneas, where we had warlocks ready to summon everyone.

20 Summoned and Counting

We started the party with handouts of green and white smoke flares, paper zeppelin kits, Tasty Cupcakes, and a game item (a Steam Tonk Controller).  There were also wine kegs, feasts, Apple Pies (from Dalaran), and pony kegs laid down.

Member Wolfsage did a pet raffle during the party where she had everyone roll between 1-3.  The roll would determine how many pets each person received.  I got three pets including Teldrassil Sproutling and Anodized Robo Cub.  Somewhere around 50-75 pets were given away during the party.

Costume Line-Up

We then lined up in a doorway to determine the costume contest winner.  Trinarra was dressed as a Scary Pumpkin and won a Blood-Elf Bandit Mask.

Farmer Bean

Beanski won a Brawler’s Pass for his farmer outfit.

There was then a circle formed for the Steam Tonk Controller battles.  We did four rounds of fighting with the last tonk standing as winner.  Prizes given were: Mist-Piercing Goggles, Orange Martial Shirt + Lavender Shirt, and the Mystery Potion Package (Potion of luck x1 and Pygmy Pots x12).

Wolfsage then did a Halloween trivia contest.  There were three short rounds of questions- the round one winner got 10g, the round two winner got 20g, and the last round was one question worth 250g plus a rare pet.

There were also Darkmoon “murloc” and Darkmoon “rocket” rides during the party compliments of Taysha.

Rocket Ride

Murloc Ride

Prizes were mailed to winners after the party.

The party was a huge success for this large guild alliance of over 1000 toons.  I would like to thank the GM, Isayuri, for letting me assist as activities committee chair.  Also thanking Wolfsage, Ruccos, Ouliana, Deilana, Nift, Moy, and Rainelyn for all their help.

guild, guild event, guildies, new members, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW


An easy way to get to know new guild members- short icebreaker games on ventrilo.

It is best to have older members participate as well as the newer members.  These are the ones we did:

1) Guess Who.  You mail five things about yourself to the leader.  Four things that are true and one thing that is untrue.  The leader reads them on vent, and everyone first tries to guess who it is.  Then they guess which one is not true.

2) Desert Island.  You are stuck on a desert island- name 1 piece of music, one book, and one luxury item you would take.  (you cannot take a boat to leave the island)

3) Random questions.  Ask the group things like- Where is one place in the world you would want to travel? etc.

Guild Christmas Party

Christmas, gaudy winter veil sweater, guild, guild party, secret santa, warcraft, winter veil, world of warcraft, WOW, wow contest


Instead of doing a seasonal (ie winter) guild party, I decided this year to throw a Winter Veil/ Holidays party.

About 10-15 guildies showed up at the Old Town inn in Stormwind, many dressed in Christmas colors.  As usual, the standard alliance booze was handed out or placed down.

Breaking the Ogre Pinata

After taking care of some lottery prizes that were needed to be done, we did an ice breaker game.  I chose this to do because we have lots of new members in the guild right now.

The “it ” person would throw a Heavy Leather Ball to another person.  The person receiving the ball had to answer a random question from a list I made before the party started.  Some of the questions included “What song describes you?” and “What is the best advice you ever received.”

We then held votes for the best party dress.  The winner was monk, Paninja.  His costume was simple but cute: Crown of Opportunistic Strikes and Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater.  He received an Admiral’s Hat and a battle pet as the prize.

Paninja chilling after the party

Meanwhile the guests exchanged their Secret Santa gifts.  We had previously in December had a signup list available to the guild on Facebook for any that wanted to participate.  It was not required to attend the party, but we had around 18 participate.

I then split the attendants into three teams.  They had to work together in seperate vent channels to complete an item list of activities.  These were:

  1. All team members must get smashed drunk and stay that way throughout the whole contest.
  2. One member must get a stranger in dwarven district to hug you.
  3. One team member must get a stranger in dwarven to give you 15g.
  4. All team members must send a random guildie a ingame mail saying – Happy Holidays.
  5. One team member must run around naked saying Merry Christmas From “Guild Name!”
  6. After 1-5 are completed, the whole team must line up on dwarven bank stairs and dance together.

Besides the wordage above, there were no rules on how to actually accomplish these things.  I did have to open up the hugging and 15g to trade district as well because there were not a lot of people standing in dwarven at that time.  The winning team all received a battle pet.

For the party finale, we all took a Preserved Holly and flew to trade from dwarven on our reindeers.  Then we lined up on the bank stairs there for this screenshot:

Reindeer Treats

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my guildies and to all my blog readers!!!

End of Summer Guild Party

contest, game, guild, guild event, guild party, sholazar, summer, warcraft, whale shark, world of warcraft, WOW


My guild on Terokkar, The East Kingdom, had an end-of-summer party a few weeks ago.  Sorry I am just now getting around to writing about it….

The party location was the beach at Bittertide Lake, which is West of Glimmering Pillar in Sholazar Basin.

Start of the party

After the usual booze hand-outs, we started the party with a Heavy Leather Ball Contest.  Everyone was given a heavy leather ball.  The objective was to throw balls like crazy, and the person with the fewest balls left in their bags would be the winner.

This is the first time I have attempted to do this game at a party, and it didn’t really work out like I thought it would.  I don’t know if people were playing without the required number of open bag spaces (eight) or someone was afk, but we ended up having seven winners from a tie.  This is fine if you can afford that many prizes (I gave them Winterspring Cubs), but just be aware.

We then voted on best dressed for the party, which was a prize of 500g.

After that, we did another new contest: Skinny-Dipping Diver Dueling.  The rules: Standing on the slope between shallow and deep water two toons will duel under water with no gear on.  Each player starts with eight points.  If any part of the player’s body moves above water during the duel, they lose one point.  The winner of the duel receives two points.  So the highest possible score overall is ten points.

The trick to this contest was making sure people were staying on the divider between the shallow and deep parts of the lake.  If they are not following that rule, it really isn’t as challenging.  We did have one winner with ten points, and he received the Mini Mount WOW loot card.

The last contest was a number-guessing-game based on the trap door located in the lake area.  The trap door has coordinates you can see when you scroll over it.  I have been told they are some kind of Lost reference, but I have no idea.  In order to hold this contest, you need to make sure the party takes place far enough from the trap-door that players will not be able to look at it.

This is a picture of it:

Coordinates for Contest

Everyone participating had to guess a number six times- one time for each trap-door number.  The first and second numbers were between 1-10, the third and fourth numbers were between 1-20, the fifth number was between 1-25, and the sixth number was between 1-50.  Another option for the answers could be for the judge to pick their own coordinates (if you think anyone has looked before-hand to see what the answers are).  The 500g prize went to the player with the most amount of winning guesses (closest number to the answer wins each time).

After all of this, the party moved to Vashj’ir to do the whale shark kill for the achievement.  We did this at last year’s party, but we decided to do it again for newer guildies who didn’t have it.

My Guild, The East Kingdom (A), on Terokkar Is Recruiting

guild, guild recruitment, Terokkar, The East Kingdom, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW


Almost every guild event I have posted on this blog was done by my guild, <The East Kingdom> on Terokkar.  We are now recruiting for Mists of Pandaria.  It is an alliance, central time zone server.

Guild Leaders: Husband/Wife team, Chatmay and Nôxåmon

Type of Guild: Casual/Social, Family-Friendly, level 25. Been around for four years.

# of members: We have around 715 toons now, 270 accounts

Our guild’s first priority is about one thing- you having fun playing the game. We are helpful to new players, we don’t make restrictions or a lot of rules about things like what class you are, what spec you play, what add-ons you have etc.

We are not really a leveling guild, but we do get a lot of server rerolls and transfers so we try to help where we can.

During Cataclysm we had three 10 man raiding teams in Dragon Soul… ranging from semi-serious to very casual. We are currently filling some spots on these teams that have opened up over the past two months.

We also schedule other runs every week for non-raiders such as getting transmog gear or achievement/mount runs. We sometimes do contests such as screenshot competitions and a guild lottery. We have a seasonal guild party four times a year.

We have a facebook guild page where we keep up to date on guild info. We are currently using that page to set up five man dungeon teams for Mists leveling.

So How do I get an invite?
Contact Chatmay first here or in-game mail. I am sometimes on my many alts, so feel free to say “/who the east kingdom” and ask if I am on the game.

Please ask any questions here that I have not answered! Thanks

Reflections on Guild Survivor Event

guild, guild event, survivor, video, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW


Tonight I finished the video for The East Kingdom’s Guild Survivor Event from last month.  It is now on youtube as shown here:

So looking back on the event, there were some mistakes made that I would correct if we did the event again.  Also some changes I might make.  I have noted some of these in the previous posts one and two, but here they are again:

1) For the timed raid- I really think Kara chess would have been the most awesome, but we had an entry glitch as well as someone we needed to be there not available if I remember right.  So make sure you have one person from each team do Kara up to chess before the event so it will be ready to go.

For Kara I would send a judge in with the team, but no help should be given.  For what we did though, which was VOA- next time I would not send judges in.  It should just be whichever team comes out first wins.  If one team is missing a healer or a tank from losing this role in the first round, they will have to do the raid without that role.

I would also make some other changes to the timed raid- more of an incentive given to the winning team and maybe a random elimination instead of voting off people so early in the contest.

2) The biggest mistake I made in planning the event was the Food Race for night two.  I don’t know what I was thinking, but I planned a PVP objective for all alliance in a regular zone.  Obviously this was completely wrong.  Any kind of PVP event like this should be in an arena area where everyone is flagged.

3) One thing I noticed when watching the video footage is that in every foot-race the three retribution paladins were in the lead.  Be aware that they are one class that has a speed run talent in their tree.  If I do the contest again, I think I will somehow have to make it where ret paladins (and I think BM hunters?) will have to race in a secondary spec.

Those are the only things I have thought of so far though because it was an awesome event!  Very much fun was had, and I had a great time planning it.

WOW Guild Survivor Event – Day 2

27 Wednesday Jun 2012

fun, guild, guild event, guild events, survivor, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW


After the awesome first night we had with our first ever Guild Survivor contest, it was time for night two!

Before night two started, I had to first mail the remaining contestants a few things: a lavender shirt, one piece of buff food, and five jugs of bourbon.  The food and drinks were for that night’s challenges.

Then I had to move a few toons around to the new locations as well as toons to film with on FRAPS.  (I do not recommend trying to make decent FRAPS movies while dual-boxing, total pain.)

The final five contestants- Wynlock, Anarius, Dwamli, Poonedman, and Bigbearface- were welcomed back with a summon to Jaguero Island in Stranglethorn Vale.  They were again reduced to only two pieces of clothing gear – no weapons, trinkets, or engineering or run speed buffed gear.

Final five before the first challenge

CHALLENGE 1- Fight for Food
The objective of this contest is to race from the top of Jaguero Island to the first pirate boat (South).  You must board the boat, eat your food until you get a buff, then race back to our starting point.  The trick to this race was supposed to be that everyone was PVP flagged and allowed to do what I referred to as “annoyance PVP” to each other in the combat zone, which was the island and the boat.

Rules- The players were told that they could interrupt someone eating with one unarmed punch.  They were also allowed to use knockback spells and CC spells like stun, sheep, etc.  Since we are on a PVE server, I made the rule that if anyone killed another player during the challenge, it would immediately end with the killer being the one eliminated… we did not want any deaths.  (If you are on a PVP server and want to do this contest, you could certainly change this to full-blown PVP…up to you.) Once players leave the combat area, no more PVP is allowed.  The first player back gets immunity and a reward.  The other four players go to tribal council to vote someone off.
Other rules were… no mounts, no swimming or running buffs, no water walking.  I had one judge on the boat, one on the island, and I covered the Jaguero Island portion.

Results-  For whatever reason, even though all contestants left party and were PVP flagged- they were not allowed to attack other alliance in this area.  Kind of a bummer, but some of the contestants were kept busy enough fighting the pirates on the boat.  I didn’t note who came in first, but the reward was just a fun potion – elixir of giant growth.  Wynlock was votes out during tribal council.

CHALLENGE 2- Walk the Plank
The second summon was to a boat in Vengeance Landing, Howling Fjord.  One at a time, the remaining four had to first fly up to the boat mast, drink their five bourbons to get the smashed buff and blurry monitor, and then run (no walking) the mast up and down until they fall off.  The player with the shortest amount of time on the mast/plank is eliminated.  I used the stopwatch on the minimap clock to time them.

Dwamli doing his walk

Results- Dwamli out.  Ironic for a dwarf.

CHALLENGE 3- Cross-Country Race
The players then accepted a summon to the far left pier of Stormwind Harbor.  They  were instructed to first jump into the water and swim to Westfall.  Once there, they had to use their riding mount to travel to Moonbrook and find a one of my alts who was hidden in a building.  The last one to arrive is eliminated.

Rules- No swim speed buffs, no water walking, no flying mounts.  I had a judge on the Westfall beach and another judge watching from that point to Moonbrook.

Results- Bigbearface eliminated.

CHALLENGE 4- Battle of the Minds!
The final two contestants, Poonedman and Anarius, accepted the final summon to Nesingwary Camp in Sholazar, specifically the area surrounded by tents in front of Nesingwary himself.  Using the stopwatch again, I gave the two players one minute exactly to look around this area (from Nesingwary to the tombstone-like markers in front, and from the tent on the left to the one on  the right).  The goal: to be able to answer the most questions right about what they observe.

Rules- They can talk to the NPCs and walk around.  After one minute is up, they have to hearth.  All quiz answers are whispered to the leader (me).

The Questions:
1) How many beds were in the inn tent?
2) What is the pet alligator’s name?
3) What race is the toon with the apple on his head?
4) Korg’s cleaver is in what- a fruit or a veggie?
5) What does the stable master sell?

Results- Believe it or not, it was a tie (!) with both players getting four questions right.  I was a little shocked, but fortunately I had prepared a tie-breaker question, which was:
How many animal skulls are piled around the tents?
The player with the guess closest to the answer would be the winner.

THE WINNER AND NEW GUILD SURVIVOR CHAMPION WAS….

Grats to Anarius, who now has a new Mekgineer’s Chopper!  So close!

As I mentioned in the first post, I will be making a short video of this event in the future, but I have to repair that computer before I can start it.

Thanks to everyone from my guild who participated in this event!  Also, thanks to Gingerbell and Secondchanct for assisting me in judging!  Look forward to doing this event again next year!
