Maybe by next week the guild will have advanced to rank 2. We’ll have to work on getting the whole team up to tier 2 to get ourselves the hell out of Nordenwatch and maybe into something different, like the Altdorf sewers. But how many flags must a man cap before he can call himself bored with the whole thing? Judging from how early the group started to break up, the number is surprisingly close to 42. There was a witch elf named “Thewife” in one scenario run that lead to some humor on Skype. We’ll be on the lookout for “Kendruk” this coming Saturday.Īfter all that, we finally set about playing some tier 1 RvR scenarios which, honestly, are beginning to wear thin with me. In fact, it was the same “nope” as last week because, as it turned out, it was the same guy “not Kendricke” guy from last week playing another character. The brevity of the response again validated the denial. He denied being the loquacious man from Minnesota. This week’s False Kendricke was a High Elf Archmage. While we were swapping and standing around to group up again we had to have the weekly FALSE KENDRICKE SIGHTING! That meant guild invites, promotions, and the like until we finally settled down to the actual play group for the night. We then had to swap out characters because some of us were in the tier 2 level range, while others were tier 1. Naturally, immediately after we finished up, we saw a guild called “Blood Bath & Beyond” and thought, “Why don’t we have a cool name like that?” Here we stand, the founding members of the Twilight Dandies.įour surly elves and two humans in robes. You can see that we had plenty of time to discuss guild names. We had a guild at last! That only took us 45 minutes to accomplish. A new error message at last! It said, “Some party members are out of range of the Registrar.” Progress!įinally, we all hove into view of the registrar, I put in the name, we rejected it, then I put in the final name, we all accepted it. When we all got into the city, I tried to create the guild. Okay, we were scattered in different zones, so everybody headed to Altdorf. I was told “You must be the Leader of a Party of 6.” We disbanded and I invited everybody to a new group. Well, now I was, but maybe it did not recognize the leadership change. I wonder if it is capitalized that way in the German version.) Once there, I tried to create the guild, but was told “You must be the Leader of a Party of 6.” (What odd capitalization. And it is all the more mysterious since you don’t really have a reason to go there for quite a few levels. Makes Darnassus seem the epitome of modern urban planning. Of course, there were issues in even pulling the aforementioned trigger and creating the guild, which gave us ample time to discuss names.įirst I was sent off to Altdorf and had to find the Guild Registrar in the rather authentic sprawling medieval town that Mythic created. I think we, as a group, were simply past the point of wanting to talk about guild names, so when we finally hit one that nobody really hated, it became the one. In fact, I pulled the trigger on the name The Twilight Dandies, but then somebody did not like that definite article out front, so we reset and did it as Twilight Dandies. I asked several times before I pulled the trigger on that if there were any other options. The list may have included some of the following:Īfter all… or some… of those, in the end we decided on Twilight Dandies.Īnd not merely because it was one of my suggestions and I was the guy typing it into the guild creation screen. We obviously did not spend a lot of time over the week thinking on the subject, so an odd list of names were proposed and shot down. The first order of business was to create the guild. This week, though, patched, updated, and running in windowed mode, things were much smoother. WAR was not settling in well at his place. It turned out that the previous week Earl had quite a bit of trouble getting the game to run and followed the standard rule that after four BSODs, you find something else to do. I’ll get to the “how” and “why” of the name in a bit, but first the “who.” If you’re not sure what that name might mean or imply, go to Wikipedia and read the entry on “ Dandy.” That was the guild name we settled on Saturday night.
