Your Wowalutions

Friday! Yes it is that day of the week once again. The day of the week where we slack off and stare at the clock just hoping for the day to end so the weekend can begin. Oh Friday's the most unproductive day of the week. Friday though is also the day of the week where here in Gauss land we have the Reader Post. The post of the week where you the readers make it. I ask you a question and you send in your submissions throughout the week. This week I asked you all to send me your Wowalutions. My fancy word for your New Years Resolutions with respect to World of Warcraft. So without waiting any longer let's see what all of you have planned for the year.

My wowalution is pretty simple. I want to level a tank so I can understand why people don't play it. I want to know if it is difficult or if it jsut takes more attention. I just think this will give me a better perspective on the game in general. Something I am actually really looking forward to.

I want to get a legendary or at least partake in one of the questlines. I just think the whole process is something that screams epic. I know funny choice of words for something of the orange variety. I have never had the option, and I am always jealous of those who get to. So I am making it a point that in the next year I get to take part.

To pick a character and stick with it. But I am going to try to cut down on the alts. I have switched mains during every expansion. I swear I have alt ADD. Once I play a new toon it becomes my favourite I will level it gear it up then start another alt and then it becomes my fav. I know it just gets me no where and I always get accused of being a loot whore. 

To take up healing again. I was healing ICC heroic modes at the end of Wrath, but when Cata came out, I went to Ele spec to level, and I left my guild. Since then, I've transferred servers, taken up with a new guild... But I haven't gone back to healing because, well, I've been doing most of my 5-mans in randoms. And then can be "unforgiving" of the returning healer. But I love healing, so, I want to be healing in Raids before the end of the month.

I want to know the lore better. I've been playing WoW for six years, but I haven't paid attention to much of the storyline. I have most of the books because my husband reads them, so I'm going to go back and catch up. So unlike most resolutions I think I can stick to this one.

There you have it the Reader Post for the week. Hope you all for your submissions. As always if they didn't make it into the post it doesn't mean I didn't read them, just have to keep the post so it is not a wall of text. If you would like to take part in next week's post look for the topic during Sunday's Ask Gauss post, until then have a great weekend the first of the new year!

You Fail At Your Wowalutions If...

Fail Day yes it is here once again, and today is actually the first Fail Day of the year. With all the choices available though I think it was pretty easy what to choose for the years first edition of Fail. Every year you make New Years Resolutions and every year you make the same WoWalutions if you don't write them down, you know they still exist. So what better way to start the Fail Day year then to make peopel feel bad for those choices.

You Fail At Your Wowalutions If...

• One of them was to kill the Lich King
• It is to get your first toon to 85
• Your goal is to be apart of a World First Guild
• You have the Wowalution above and the New Years Resolution to be more active
• You are setting the bar low to be better than Bagellord
• It is to have more friends and you will do this by sex changing your character
• You are trying to increase your cool factor by rolling a Blood Elf Deathknight
• You are trying to prove you can play a skillful class so you rolled a mage
• You want to be respected so you respec'd your pally ret
• It is to troll trade chat more often
• You wish to learn to have an entire conversation only using emotes
• You want to learn how to dive in water
• You think a turtle mount is an actual possibility

and finally

• You are in fact Bagellord and you think you can actually achieve something.

There you have it this year's first edition of Fail. Hope you all enjoyed it. And has become custom hear is the first quote of the year by someone we should always remember

"Ish-ne-alo por-ah, may the Earthmother smile upon you."

Good luck on your first reset of the New Year!

Wowalutions

So since it is a New Year it is the time to come up with resolutions for the new year. We do this in hopes that we will follow through on them. So here we go.

• It is my goal for the year to teach people that socket humping is not for the greater good, but it is for those who are clueless. You don't need that +4haste even if you think you do. You just prove that you know absolutely nothing about your classes. I will take up the torch this year to break the cycle of socket humping.
• I will come up with a new macro in which I can drive the WoW population mad with. It promises to be a trade chat filling and insanity.
• I will make sure anyone who does something stupid will never have the opportunity to see it down. I will make sure that every time they see me they will remember.
• I will be sure to keep selling stacks of 100 bullets and arrows just so I get the mails complaining that they got screwed. I see this as my opportunity to take gold from the people that do not deserve it.
• I will ensure no one will forget the name of Bagellord.
• I will continue to make fun of anyone using Jenkins or Champion of the Frozen Wastes Title.
• Everyone on Horde Side will have a Black War Bear
• Tyrande will come to Orgrimmar and kiss the floor of Thrall's Throne room
• I will do my best to be more clear when I say "Stay at the bototm of the stairs", "Don't follow me", "Passing Skull is Bad". I will instead try to think of language which is more clear.
• I will do my best to make sure no ret pally feels wanted. That anytime I see one it will be known to everyone arond that they do indeed fail.

And that is it till I think about more. I am sure there will be many suggestions of things to add to the list. Enjoy the year I am sure it will be a good one.
