  1. Greetings everyone, Just a small post to say thank you for having me in your raid all this time. I was suddenly and unexpectedly given an opportunity I can't pass up. I wanted to have one more night to raid with you but the wow gods decided to have 24 hour maintenance. The last 2 years raiding with you has been interesting to say the least. I've made some friends and had some arguments. I'll miss the friends. I wish you much luck and many kills in your future, it's been a wild ride. /bunnies /pompoms /rainbows /waves baibai Tizzy
  2. Sooo..... I turn on my computer Saturday and get the blue screen of death... After much swearing and testing it appears that my mother board is fried. Thankfully it's still under warranty. However... It appears that I will be unable to raid for at least this coming week. I'll try and keep you updated and let you know as soon as I can when I will be able to raid again.
  3. I just wanted to take a moment to explain a few things. First, I don't like to post on open forums, especially with information about my personal life, so every time I've missed a raid I've handled it directly with my role lead or with a raid leader. Second, as some of you know my mother has been in and out of the hospital for over a year now. She has now reached the point where her body has failed enough times that her mind is starting to go. I'm the nearest family to her so I get most of the responsibility dumped on me. All my family can hope for right now is that this phase is mercifully short and this whole horrible sad affair will be behind us. That being said.... My raid availability will at some point have to drop to nil to handle her funeral arrangements. Lastly. My husband had surgery yesterday and there were a few complications that were unexpected. He is doing fine, but I had to decline the raid invitation to take care of him. We had wanted to schedule the procedure earlier in the week but this was the earliest time they had. I know it was very last minute, but he will always come before wow. ALWAYS. So will any other of my family. When I'm in raid, I'm as committed to it as I can be, but as I've explained, I've got a lot on my plate. I will say that yes, it is extremely frustrating to deal with people who make the same mistakes over and over and over again night after night and don't care enough about the raid to try to do better. It's extremely frustrating to raid with people who don't take the time to watch a 5 min vid or even read a few paragraphs about the fight so they know what they are getting into. It's extremely frustrating to have to deal with the stress of wipe after wipe due to stupidity rather than honest mistakes. This raid used to be very enjoyable and a good distraction. Now it just seems to be a lesson in frustration for the people who still actually want to raid vs the people who don't give a ###### and are just there to waste time.
  4. Ah would be lovin ta pass out bunnies an rainbows and speckle dust candy floss... 'oweva it seems dat Arthas is bein too skerd o me bunny an willna let me inta de citadel...

Then immediately after "You have been disconnected from the server". Anyone else having this issue??))
  5. Greetings all, I wanted to apologize to everyone for my sudden departure from the raid last night. I got an emergency call from my mother in law and I needed to leave right away. She's fine and everything has been taken care of. Thank You to everyone that sent me whispers worried about me. Many of you know my life right now is getting fairly complicated. Without going into details, my mother is in the hospital and has been for months. Her health is declining. I will do my very best to make sure that I don't need to leave raid nights early again, but I must put priority right now on real life. All I can do right now is apologize and say I'll keep doing the best that I can. I will also make sure that the raid calendar is updated as soon as possible if I am unable to play. Thanks for your patience. Tiz
  6. I'd like to say a few things and clear a few other things up. 1. I did ask several times politely and then less politely in /raid for the cougher to stop or at least tell me who it was so I could mute them. As I was not even given the respect of acknowledgment, I fail to see why I am required to offer the same. 2. Your analogy is flawed. In an office no one would be coughing right IN MY EAR. If anyone were so ill mannered as to attempt that, I can assure you it would only be ONCE. And in an office, I would also ask the person to cover their mouth so as not to disturb the people working around them. 3. Nicknames are one thing, calling someone a b itch is another. Hate is laughing with someone not at them. If the other person isn't laughing, you are an asshat. 4. My mother is dying and I'm the only one who can take care of all her expenses and final arrangements. This is going to last a few months. So, while my raid attendance might have been 99% before, I have other things that I have to attend to now so I may not make it to every raid or may have to leave some raids early. This also means that my emotional facilities are fusking full. In that context: FUSK YOU FOR COUGHING IN MY EAR AFTER I ASKED YOU TO STOP. FUSK YOU FOR CALLING ME A B ITCH ABOUT IT. AND FUSK ALL OF YOU THAT MADE FUN OF ME FOR IT. 5. After this emotional period is over for me and I've had time to recover from it, feel free to go back to mocking all you want, I'll be better able to cope. Right now, I'm going to ask politely that you please leave me out of it. I no longer speak on voice. I've stopped the "offensive" bunny spam and at this point I don't even feel like role playing any more. I'll do my job when I'm there but please, please, leave me out of your hate mongering. I don't really care what you say to each other, I'm simply asking that you leave Tizaria out of it. in the tl;dr catagory- My mother is dying, I'm upset about it. Stop being douches. Anyone who is a douche can kiss my rabbit's ass. One final note. Thank you to everyone who has been so very supportive during this time. It is very much appreciated and very much welcomed. Those of you who have been offering me help and support are the reason I keep coming back to the raid. Your offers to help are very kind and I thank you again for them, but I'm afraid that right now what would help the most would be simply a /hug in game to let me know I have people who are thinking about me.
  7. Greetings everyone, Due to some unforeseeable events in real life I am going to be away from the game for a few days. I will at the very least be missing the Tuesday night run this week. Depending on how things go I may be delayed even further and I'll have someone contact in game if it comes to that. I am sorry for the late notice. I'll let you know just as soon as I can when I will be back. Kalea please take care of the bunny spam for me, I know you guys can't raid without it!
  8. See? Bunny macros help motivate people. Maybe not in the way intended the you can't deny they help the motivation process. So Nur ta yas /shakes rear /makes even more bunny macros
  9. I personally love achievements. I think most of them are a good addition to the game (baring the stupid zomg rng <3 meh ones). I've been around in the game a while, I know I've said it before but after a while... it's all just new skins same fight. ie zotzot git out de spotspot I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with Kailand /kills self Still though he makes some very good points that I feel the same way about. And Kail, just so you don't get a big head... /kick in teh shins I would absolutely love to get as many of these done as possible and will spec however you need me to spec for it. I'll even work up a new bunny macro just for achieves if it will help motivate
  10. *runs in quickly tossing bunnies at everyone as a distraction* I personally am in favor of a dkp wipe for the new content. 1. It's new content and new gear, everyone should be on a level playing field 2. Not wiping dkp encourages hoarders who won't pick up any gear now so they can sweep clean in ulduar 3. Keeping dkp as it is while we enter a new dungeon makes the people who were behind because they picked up upgrades, because they came in late, whatever makes sure they are able to keep up with the raid progress. Yes I know this raid "isn't about gear" but I was also told "this raid isn't about progression" so I'd like to officially ask... wtf is this raid about then? If we do want to progress then we need gear to do so, we need as much of the raid as possible geared as evenly as possible. Yes I understand life is not fair. Some of us have more time than others, some of us don't need as much gear as others, blah blah blah. You make a system as fair to as many as you can and let the whiners whine about it, SOME always will. Naxx is the run we use to make sure everyone is as even as possible, everyone starts around the same level. Then when the raid has to get serious, you start fresh and encourage people to plan out what they want and gear accordingly. Some people like being in a hole, some like hoarding, you will always have both sides of the spectrum. It's about making sure the people in the middle don't get effed over really. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Use it how you want it. There you go Ugs, that's as much hate as I can muster this early in the morning ;p *Kicks Kailand in the shins* *steals Zu's Speckle Dust* *leaves giggling bunnies in a wake behind her* ps not trying to make drama not trying to cause issues, just adding my thoughts... omg don't flame me /cries (edited to beg for mercy from flaming trolls and for spelling errors.. i spel gud)
  11. ooc let me preface this by saying. I FRELLING LOATHE FORUMS ;p also I lead a raid myself so I understand the complete and utter frustration and disappointment when one of my raiders doesn't show up, can't show up, is being a douche about showing up. It's hard to find replacements at the last minute I understand all of that. However I've been playing a healer for 4 years now. I have 4 characters over level 70. I've raided as both healer and dps. Healers get shafted right up the bung hole. Now with the spell power changes all Blizz did was remove what little lube we had. I can see both sides of this argument both for and against. I see both sides every week. For this particular raid and this particular situation, this is what I see: In almost every stumbling block that I've seen in this raid, the one major winning strategy was "Give the healers more to do". We don't have a rotation we can maximize. We can't get away with gearing in mostly blues and still get epic numbers. Gearing is very hard for a healer and we have to fight for every piece of gear. Now what I see is in BC healers worked damn hard and brought it every week. We all had consumables, we all give it everything we had. While I consistantly saw dps not potting, not using food, standing in poo, afking DURING bosses. Now I'm not saying the healers are perfect, and I'm not saying the dps sucks. What I am saying is that now after how hard the healers have worked we get a "Thanks Bend Over, we'll call you if we need you"? I know that's not how this is meant and I know that the raid leads are trying to do what is best for everyone. I however am not going to sit for a night so dps can tralala through the instance and get even further ahead just to blame healers later when they stand in the effin poo. Again, let me say, not all dps is horrible nor are all healers angels. And I'd just like to point this out... this is the only raid I know of that has a 'surplus' of healers. Every other raid I know is actively recruiting anything with a healing button. Everyone has to work together to get the raid moving, but in this case, it appears to me, that most of the time, it's the healers that are picking up the slack, it's the healers going above and beyond, it's the healers who are getting crapped on. And yes I do see some of the dps working just as hard, putting in just as much effort and I mean no offense to those of you that have sacrificed just as much. If my opinions (and that's what they are MY OPINIONS) are out of line, then I'm sorry you have taken offense. I'm by no means calling anyone out or naming any names. I really like this raid, I really like the people. Perhaps I've let myself have too much fun as it seems lately to me that people are more apt to point fingers and push around blame. Raiding in BC with you guys was the most fun I've had in the game so far. But after too much drama everywhere around me I've found I'm worn out. I'm tired of busting my ass to have all my consumables, all my enchants, all my gems, be geared as best I can in as much heroic gear as I can, only to see others who do 1/10 the work, put in 1/10th the effort, be rewarded for being nubs. Maybe I'm taking this whole 'healers can sit a night' too personally. I'm not going to go into why I felt I had a closer connection to this raid only to have it torn out from under me and I'm not going to go into why I'm listed as not being able to be there on Sundays but have been showing up anyway. Suffice to say, I sacrificed a great deal to stay in this raid and then to hear that we (the collective we meaning healers) are going to sit out because we always have to make things easier for the dps, is a slap in the face. I'm hurt, I'm tired, I'm venting. I've said my peace and I won't say anymore about the rotations. I raid to play with people I like, accomplish goals and have fun. Drama is not fun. Angry people are not fun. If you find that I'm no longer fitting into your raid then I will step out and hold no grudges. I don't burn my bridges if I can help it, though I realize that many of my opinions are strong and not popular. I mean no malice towards anyone even if my post implies such. I don't know how others see things, I only know how I see things, how things effect me. I'd be happy to discuss your opinions in game. Please understand this one thing though. My opinions are my opinions as your opinions are your opinions. One is not more or less valid than the other. To the people they are from they are very important but can be changed. I'm only expressing my opinions as I have come to find them. /love /bunnies /strawberry marshmallows and /pompoms to everyone Tizaria
