Well it Friday, but not just any Friday it is the last Friday of the year. Oh yes that is right. Normally on Friday's it is the Reader Post and today is no different except that the topic this week is the Noobs of the Year. Something which has been done every year. Where you write in and tell me who they should be. So this is really a sit back and laugh moment if there ever was one.
5)Blizzard: Now when I read everything that people where complaining about in this one it actually made sense. They wanted to vote Blizzard for Noob of the Year because they believed they were making the game easier so they actually had a chance at them completing there content. In all the Blizzard votes though there was a special mention of Ghostcrawler. So if this was an award show he would come up and get the stupid looking statue.
4)All the people who bought Guardian cubs to make gold: I was actually surprised when so many sent in about this. Sure the market crashed and your money to gold conversion isn't even close to what it should be. But there are everyday people who waste money on lottery tickets and no one looks poorly at them. Hell the governments love them for participating in a voluntary tax system. But power to the people you all get #4 this year
3)Wally the Mage: Everyone loves Wally because everyone knows a friend who is like Wally. I guy who is so stuck in his ways that he will never give in even when he realizes how completely awful a player he is. It doesn't matter if he has enough hit for a level 90 boss. He doesn't believe he has too much hit so it is just the right amount. Your DPS meter must be wrong because there is no way I should be at the bottom. I have had the pleasure of group with this player on 3 occasions. Yes I know the world hates me, but that is just me. I have had countless emails and tells informing me of being graced by the person who will forever be known as Wally the Mage.
2)Tom Brady: No not the football player, well who knows it could be. This is a player who is the definition of a player you never want to have in your LFD or LFR group. This is the player that everyone is talking about who will ruin the system. I did one blog on how running with this player in Deadmines was more painful then getting my arms and legs sawed off with a steak knife, and you all have never forgotten.
1)Bagellord: He is the Icon of Noobs. There is no one to compared and for the 3rd year in a row Bagellord has been voted the Noob of the Year. He may not even play anymore or may even play a different toon, but that doesn't mean that what he stands for will ever be forgotten. Bagellord has more than any other noob in history sparked things in his honor. Special Kind of Stupid is a phrase coming from him just being around, every time you dive in water you remember that he couldn't, he has blogs devoted to his life, guilds named after his stupidity, and of course everyone has a deathknight they haven't leveled up without realizing is a tribute to the one only known as Bagellord.
So there they are. The noobs of the year chosen by you. I cannot say I was surprised and who was going to win, but could the Gauss Nation actually exist without that of Bagellord? I am pretty sure the answer to that question is no. This is the last post of the year so be safe and have a Happy New Year.

How Noob Of Me
So I noticed that I forgot to state what the topic was for the Reader Post this week. So that is a complete fail on my part. Therefore I decided to take a bunch of stories that people have sent me and throw them all together. Hope you enjoy them.
So we did the raid weekly, EoE, in record time. We actually like the instance. Now that we've got it almost to farm, it's the kind of thing we drag new guild members to because if you can't follow directions in Phase 3, you won't be able to follow them in Ulduar. Plus, we want the drake. We've seen it once. I had a brain fart moment when I couldn't remember how to get out of the place when we were done. The MT pipes up, "See the red down arrow, Gimm? You just click on it. Don't be so dumb." There are some things I will never live down.
I was with 2 friends. Our level and gear was probably a bit high for this instance since we practically three manned it. This is because the two people we got were the worst noobs I've ever seen. Being a player that has made a lot of mistakes I usually have lots of patients for people learning the game but OMG: First guy was a level 18 pally that didn't know how to play a pally or the instance but signed up to be the group leader, the tank and the healer. He got the healer slot. Luckly my friend was a Pally tank that could heal himself because our "healer" could not figure out how to target friendly players... He would wind up a big heal and POOF! Cast it on himself the whole instance. Guy number 2 was a mage that thought it was ok to need on every roll. So we needed to trade every time he took the wrong gear... at least he traded it. But the kicker was he didn't cast a SINGLE spell the entire time. Yes the MAGE thought it was best to melee it entire instance with his staff. We ask why aren't you casting damage spells? So he gave one frost bolt a try... I guess he didn't like the result so he went right back to melee... The perfect ending was that they requested to continue doing more randoms at the end of the run after saying many times in party chat "What a great group!!!" We simply said no thanks and left.
I only learned what talent points were when i hit about 50. Vanilla needed more invasive tooltips.... and if there were, i needed to learn2read
I was just starting an alt in Teldrassil, got past the noob area of the zone and grabbed cooking. While killing birds for the eggs they drop, some guy comes up and starts scolding me in very broken english (he sounded a lot like a chinese friend of mine so I understand the language thing) about how I should not kill the birds, and how they are our friends, that is why they have yellow name plates.
Uhh well when I was leveling my undead character I'd always accidentally come across the NPC's by scarlet monastery and think they were actual alliance players because every time they speak it'd come up in [Common] and they had the alliance shields next to their names (or so i had thought) and they always like one shotted me. I'd sit there calling them names thinking I was actually talking to somebody.And one time I was having this argument with one guy in the blood elf starting zone and he was fighting with me in General chat while I was fighting with him in /say chat and some guy went on general chat and called me some name so I fought with him for a good 10 minutes not realizing that everything I'm saying wasn't getting to him because he was talking in general chat and I was talking in /say chat and I didn't know how to talk in general chat or trade chat.
On my first toon (this one, as a matter of fact), I decided it would be fun to explore. I got all the way to Lakeshire when I realized the mobs were level 20. I was level 6 (and awesome). In a panic, I called my boyfriend (who'd been playing much longer) and asked him how to escape quickly. Mobs were closing in on all sides. He said: "Yeah, uhhh, you better use your hearthstone!". After much bag searching, I found it. I was quite excited! So excited that I deleted it by accident.
When trying out a mage character I would walk backwards after freezing the enemy. I posted on the forums asking what key people bind backwards walking to, saying how the down arrow and "s" key seemed inconvenient. I also stated how the space bar worked well, but then I couldn't find a good button for jumping. People seemed very interested in my post, and I was very confused when reading responses such as "10/10" and "would read again".

So this Sunday I will give a real topic for next week's reader post. Also for future reference try to tell me I am a dumbass before Thursday night.

Tomorrow It Ends
So today is the last day before the kids go back to school, and what does this mean? Well it means that the Blood Elf dancing crew will be leaving Orgrimmar and will return at a time when I will never be in Orgrimmar. It will mean that I will probably stop being asked for guild invites by level 20s looking to get into ICC so they can get awesome gear and raise their gearscores to what they say is "the better side of awesome". There will also be less people asking for gold because they cannot repair their gear. There will be no more applications to the guild which say "I can stay up late because it is summer and my mom lets me raid".
So as we look back at the summer which it has been and how we were driven mad by the 12 year old who couldn't hold aggro in that random. We think about the times that were. The 13 year old Mexican who couldn't shut up on vent during a For The Horde, the healer who took 5 breaks in a random because his mom was calling him, the tank who entered the HoR heroic with a broken shield, and the Pally I convinced the Crimson Deathcharger was obtained by getting exalted with the DK starting area. These are just a few of the beauties from this past summer. So as I am happy that I will be dealing with less 12 year olds, but it also makes me sad that I will have less things to laugh at. So I give thanks to all the retarded 12 year olds that have made me fear for the future of the world.
Enjoy your holiday.
