Two days ago, I kinda missed the mark with some choice World of Warcraft guild drama. The thread author deleted his drama posts, I didn’t quote the relevant passages, thereby preserving them for posterity, and all we’re left with is the smoldering ashes. I blame myself.

I was tipped off to this New and Improved guild drama by a guildmate. (Thanks, OverlyAmbitiousOffTank!) Today’s drama is courtesy of the Dragonblight server, and due to shifting dates, lots of post editing, possible account sales and numerous witness accounts, it’s one of those “who knew what when?” type stories.

But, before I did their whole clan started spamming the forums and IF general chat. “EX IS A NINJA!!! They did this so no one would believe me. Now I cant pary, group, raid, guild…its a joke..aand now I am trying to tell the real story but this thread will probably get shot down by hundreds of LOTR posts. Im sorry I had to resort to this guild LOTR..but I wanted my mats back

p.s. clffrd of LOTR admitted to even taking the mats and im trying to get a ss of it.

It is unclear why LOTR’s accusations of ninja would have any bearing on his ability to parry. It is clear, however, that functional illiteracy is alive and well in our times.
