Sorean's Virtual Home

I mean really? In the blink of an eye a month has passed since my fluff post about zombies on my lawn. What’s happened in the past month?

• We’ve killed Arthas
• I’ve built a new computer.
• The girlfriend has moved in.
• Booked tickets for Toronto for my sister’s grad
• Got new monitor’s for myself and the girlfriend (it was her birthday present)
• Picked up DDR3
• Got into the Starcraft 2 Beta

Killing Arthas is one of the best feelings I’ve had video game wise in a long time. And the second time in this wow expansion that my guild and I have completed all of the content, minus a few hard modes. We’re in the top percentage of the WoW population for doing what we have. The next question is, do I continue playing? A lot of my guild had this as their objective, killing Arthas that is, it is what we strove for and what we ended up completing. Here is our mission statement:

Vendetta: any prolonged and bitter feud, rivalry, or contention.

I guess you can say that we have a vendetta against the end content in the World of Warcraft.

Several of us in this guild have not seen the last bosses Pre-BC and Pre-WOTLK. However we have come together to resolve that this will not happen to us again. With the 10 man versions of the same instances that allow you to see this content, Vendetta will be pushing hard to see the end of this and to see a dead Arthas.

Vendetta is by no means a hardcore guild, but we are a skills guild. If you do not improve after a given amount of time, someone else will be given a shot and you will be replaced. Sorry if this sounds blunt, but after 3 years, the sugar coating wears off. This guild will be established on openness and trust with one another. If something bothers you during a raid, bring it up on the forums after the fact and do not detract from the raid. Everyone is here to make sure we all succeed, there need not be any insults thrown or attacks made. Issues will be dealt with (should they ever arise). There is a strict no-emo clause for this guild, we’re all mature and intelligent and can deal with issues as such.

The leadership of the guild is comprised of myself, Sanevisock, and Tdot. All three share equal vote and strength in the guild, any changes should be put forth in an appropriate manner and it will be voted upon. If you want us to change something, you have to sell us on the idea. We may not get the things we want, but there is not going to be any hurt feelings or any injured pride. Just the success of Vendetta.

The current incarnation of Vendetta will cater and focus on 10 man raids in WOTLK.

The leadership has now all but fallen onto myself only as everyone is burning out a bit. I have a few friends that have bonded over WoW and want to know what I plan on doing come the next expansion. Do I want to lead a guild through another expansion? I could for the sake of my friends and for the sake of seeing content and again being among the few that actually see and conquer the content in game rather than having to watch videos about it, like I did for the first 3 years of WoW. Maybe this is a good time that I step back from raid and guild leading, it would be nice to stop at the top.

The nice thing about SC2, is that you wouldn’t have to pay a monthly subscription fee to play it. And I have a lot of console games to play and the summer is coming. I think I’ll renew for one more 3 month block and that will be it. Everything has to end sometime.

The girlfriend has settled in pretty nicely and I’m happy to have her. Though it sucks a lot as she works weekends so finding time together to do something is tricky. It’s mostly just watching some TV for < 1hr before bed, which isn’t really much, but it’s something at least.

Well that’s about it as far as rambling for now is concerned.

Take care everyone,
Sorean
