The Culling

IMG_5531

This brief conversation did two things for me. First, it saved me money because I was planning on getting all my heirlooms back on one server, which meant I had to give a damn about a character to the point where I’d justify the server transfer.

Second, it made me want to find all of my heirlooms. Damn, I had a lot of heirlooms.

I don’t have the time to play characters on multiple servers, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one heavy stone. I’d go through alts on other servers, and if they didn’t have some kind of serious meaning to me I’d delete them. It was also an easy way to find heirlooms, because I’d get an error message telling me the deletion wouldn’t be allowed because the character had something in their mailbox, or they had an heirloom somewhere.

Many alts were deleted. Many heirlooms collected.

Spring cleaning, a few months too late.

Brawler’s Guild – Meet Splat

Have you ever been doing something when, out of the blue, an opportunity falls in your lap? Did you think to yourself, “I can’t let this opportunity pass me by. I must – nay, I will drop what I am doing and give this a shot!”

Sometimes it’s best just to wipe that opportunity off your lap and step on its neck.

I’d been running scenarios, experimenting with a little macro I will discuss in the future. Well what was in my box of treasures after completing said scenario but a quest. It sent me to the Brawler’s Guild in Orgrimmar. I’d run through ranks of the Brawler’s Guild with an Alliance character back in the day, but Horde-side was all new to me. Instead of queueing for another fistful of easy coins and justice/valor points, I swung by Org and popped in on my favorite Fight Club.

Lo and behold, the quest invited me to throw down with someone named Splat. I had no idea what this was, but I assumed it was simply a Brawler designed to lure people into getting involved with Brawler’s Guild. Get some recreational blood on your hands, and you’re hooked. That kind of thing.

The best way to lure someone into trying something is to give them a soft target to rough up. Or so I thought. Apparently Splat was new to Brawler’s Guild, and I was the soft target.

Since option “KillDeath” was off the table, I decided to go to Youtube and look for help. The advice I found there was good, but my execution needs work.

Splat. Don’t let this killer glob of jam kill you like it killed me.
