Sadistic Sunday: Target Acquired!


I have a special treat for all of you this Sunday! Well, almost all of you. 



Most of you will be spared my cruelest events today... in fact, everyone except Kerreck is getting away nearly sadism-free! More on that in a moment; First, the schedule!

12pm - Ruck's ICC10
2pm - Charity Auction Run
4pm - Stratholme Endurance


Ruck's ICC10
As much as I'd like to play this one off as a sadistic event, sadly I cannot. Ruck has already proven himself to be an outstanding raid leader and it wouldn't surprise me if his run goes smoother than mine do (I have a tendency to prattle on for unnecessary lengths of time... much like I am right now).

We'll likely run a Last Resort ICC/VoA on Tuesday (just before reset), but it'll likely be an undergeared mess - get in on the A-squad while you can!


Charity Auction Run
Same story as last week:

Running multiple instances for a shot at rare loot. Highest bidder wins the loot and all proceeds go into the gbank. Here are the details:
  • At 2pm, silent bidding for a place in the run will commence. Whisper Ahzae with your bid for a spot.
  • The 4 highest bidders will get an invite to the run. Ahzae will also match the highest bid.
This is the loot we'll be shooting for:
Everything else that drops will be vendored and added to the pot. If anything not on this list drops and you want it, make a bid! :D


Stratholme Endurance
This is the only event today (for most of you) that's even slightly sadistic... and it's all because I felt like punishing a select few of you:

"Lez add Strat to teh Chairty Run lol - he drups a horss!" these people cried.

"No. The drop rate is way too low, plus there's no lockout - it'll just be a grind." I sanely replied.

"OI! U make strat runz on chartiy, I pay u lol"


Damn right you'll pay.

Here are the rules for this event:
  • This is an Endurance run. Last man standing wins the loot (if it drops at all).
  • Members do consecutive Stratholme runs for as long as they can bear it. Each member  attending (including the leader) must pay 20g to their party leader before starting each run.
  • If a party member refuses to pay, or has simply had enough of running the same thing over and over again, they may choose to leave at any time. Not paying the entry fee renders one ineligible to collect the grand prize.
  • Should the Horse drop from the Baron, it will go to the last person still willing to go for more  Stratholme runs. If there is no clear winner after 105 minutes from the time of the drop (15 minutes left to trade with eligible members), remaining participants will have to bid on it via the Charity Run rules above. All proceeds go to the Gbank.
  • If the Horse does not drop at all, the last man (or woman) standing wins all collected gold instead.

I'll be able to explain more when we start the event. I have no idea how long this will go on for, so be prepared.
Please note that by participating in this event you do so at your own risk, and you also accept responsibility for any loss or situation arising directly or indirectly from your participation in this event. Participation is completely voluntary.


BONUS GAME: Make Kerreck Cry!
Ok, so that's not really the name of this week's game, but it's what we're gonna end up with one way or another. Since Kerreck won the last two in a row he's gotten a little overproud. I even thought I saw him strutting at one point! This will not stand!

This week we have Give Up, Robot!
Before we go any further, be warned: Trying to complete this game will drive you absolutely mad. I'm serious. You'll likely end up breaking something. This game actually hates you. It will laugh at your failures, it will try (and succeed) to distract you with nonsense colours. It will crush your very soul...

The rules this week are the same, but the rewards are different.

  • For everyone (except Kerreck): Normal reward - 500g to the first to post the correct answers here in the comments.
  • For Kerreck: Kerreck will win precisely ZERO should he complete this task first. However, if he is not the first complete the game and post the correct answers here he will be disqualified from next Sunday's BONUS GAME!

This week, I need you to answer these three questions for me (all found when completing the game, also ignoring Hard Mode):
  • When you've completed normal mode, what did the game use to show your rank? (eg. 4/5 stars)
  • How many possible ranks were there? (eg. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100)
  • How many levels did you have to complete before you saw this ranking?
First to post the answers in the comments below wins the prize, or lack thereof!

So, the tables have turned my cocky tauren chum! At last, you will know HUMILITY!

  1. Did you honestly think a Kerreck of the Taurens could be bested by the pixels in your pathetic little bonus games!

    :P

    50 levels

    after finishing normal mode i had 1/6 disco mirror balls as my rank

    the only other screens were graphs of how many deaths you had and a final page totalling your score so I assume the possible ranks were 6/6 disco mirror balls.

  2. I forgot to mention that my eyes are bleeding and I may never be able to see again. Thanks Ahzae! :D

  3. You're entirely welcome!

    I knew that even if you won you'd still end up missing large clumps of your hair.

    Plus, if you're anything like me you'll start trying to clear hard mode - I got to Level 5 and gave up after my 206th death... it broke me :D
