Should I Be Ashamed...
That my very first post to any wank community is i_wank? I hope not, 'cause I'm not, 'cause it's too amusing.

*cough* Anyway.

In a day that will go down in World of Warcraft history -- at least as far as Moon Guard server is concerned -- the Horde staged an epic retaliatory set of raids on every Alliance capital city at once. Six racial leaders were brought down in 23 minutes (we're all very proud of that 23, you understand *sage nod*), with over a dozen guilds and more than 120 people involved.

As you might expect, the official Moon Guard forums are flooded with threads about the event, the vast majority of them being kudos from both sides for what went down. But of course, this couldn't be wank if it wasn't for one guy who insists on getting butthurt about the entire deal.

Galavis repeatedly informs us all that "It was not an accomplishment".

Why, may you ask? Well, because in Galavis' world, 8PM central time on a Saturday night isn't "peak hours". And we shouldn't be so proud of "[patting ourselves] on the back for waiting til no ones around and then [stealing] from the cookie jar," because apparently peak hours are "[between] 12:00 pm and 4:00pm EST." What follows is four five pages of people telling him to shut the hell up and sit the hell down (including one of his own guildmates), with him gleefully repeating himself and happily refusing to get the point. (ETA: I'm the blood elf rogue named Noishe who poked him first. *cough*)

Small, but tasty in the sense that WoW players really are experts when it comes to grasping at straws while telling the enemy faction just how hard they suck and why.

Damn. That is one epic raid.

How the hell did they cooridinate this without the Alliance knowing?

Very carefully.

As I understand it, nobody but the ringleaders was allowed to know exactly when the raids would be until it was actually raid time, and there was some emailing going on out-game between the leaders. This whole thing was apparently in the works for weeks, ever since Alliance staged a raid on Horde that killed all of Silvermoon and Orgrimmar's leaders.

What roll did you play in the wank? If you didn't post anything in the wanky thread you probably can move it over to fw but don't quote me on that.

Oh hey, Moon Guard!

I'm from Kirin Tor. I heard the Moon Guard rpers were crazy hardcore (but the person who told me was an epic twit, so I can't be sure it's true).

Nice job on the raid.

I don't even play WoW, but this sounds kind of awesome.

I also think the fact that mid-evening on Saturday is peak hours says a lot about people who play WoW, but that's okay. For someone who's briefly dabbled in Diablo II but who otherwise doesn't do much gaming - can you explain what a race leader is? I'm guessing they're very powerful, and that taking them down is a really impressive feat.

Oh the wow forums: a festering, scum-sucking hive of wank and idiocy. That raid, though? Awesome. I didn't even think you could raid Ironforge most days without the server crashing. To hit all four cities successfully is something really special.

Ooooh. I wish I was actually active, 'cause that's my server! All my characters are low-levelled though, since I'm a geeky roleplayer who prefers loitering in Silvermoon over actually doing any quests. :X

Jeez, that guy's really feeling like a spoiler of the fun, isn't he? Are raids only allowed to pwn his faction if they give them three weeks notice, inform them of all who will be participating, and stand still in the middle of Stormwind for ten minutes to give them a fighting chance?

Seriously dude, it's a freaking WoW raid, no one will think less of you if you just take it like a man.

Aw, shit. I have 'toons on Moon Guard, but I haven't played them in months since I've been favouring my Druid on another server.

Congrats on the accomplishment though! Wish I could have been there but just hearing about the Horde kick ass fills me with glee.

This is what bored Horde do instead of you know, accomplish things I guess.

Wonder if there would be as many kudos if the roles were reversed. My Nostradamus says "no".

That was awesome. My crappy little level 22 priest was in on it, trying to heal where she could, and kept getting blasted by the level 70 Hoarde (because really, what do you expect?) And then afterwards there was some RP fun at a tavern while I ignored general chat. It was great.

All the raid leaders? Damn! And I felt happy that we downed Prince Melchezaar last night (after three glitched attempts, no less).

Also, "Mental Midget" made me giggle, even if it's a really insensitive term.

Sadly, something of this magnitude will never happen on my server. Well, unless it's the Alliance going after the horde leaders. Hordeside is woefully short and Alliance pretty much dominates everything.
