WoW as a Drinking Game

Or: What I Did For New Year's Eve

DraNgNon and I were questing as Eeyan and Teltanara. We were wandering about Kirin'Var Village getting quest money and motes of mana. It was relatively early in the evening and we were starting to consider our plans for dinner and the evening.

One of the warlocks, who regularly leads the 7pm Kara run, asked if anyone was interested in a fun Kara run. Our raids have been cancelled for the Holidays due to various people traveling and such. The regular groups and schedules don't apply, so we were all joking around about getting a group. Eeyan and Teltanara volunteered to go, because they are keyed and who knows when they'd ever get to go otherwise. Other people were pvp'ing and expressed a tiny bit of interest.

It didn't look like there were going to be enough of anyone to fill out a raid. So we were all just shooting the shit in guild chat. I jokingly suggested that our fun run be a drinking game. We should follow the "drink when your character drinks" rule. Suddenly everyone was interested. They were running off to mix drinks and swapping to needed classes.

Since it was still a fun run Eeyan came along, and because we needed healers Telt came along. We got one of the main warrior tanks and one of the main druid off tanks. The extremely well geared warlock was leading, and a regular tree druid was the 2nd healer. We filled out the run with a couple of dps warriors, a mage, and pugged in a pally.

Everyone got their drink of choice. DraNgNon and I pulled out a bottle of syrah port from the Savannah-Chanelle vineyard. The main tank mixed "the strongest rum and coke ever". Our tree druid and one of the dps warriors are housemates and brought out the beer. The warlock decided that since he was a little bit sick he should drink screwdrivers.

Then suddenly Eeyan and Teltanara were Raiding! Whee! Raiding! Neither Eeyan or Telt had all the mats they needed for raiding, but they weren't too badly off. We tore through Attumen, Moroes, Maiden, and even Nightbane. Curator also dropped to our first try. We got to Illhoof and had a few problems, but as soon as we all got a talking too about focusing on the chains we dropped him. Aran was a also a challenge, but went down after a couple of tries. (Teltanara just barely had enough health, Primal Mooncloth has NO stamina.) We forged on to the chess event, and of course dealt with that easily too.

Now Teltanara cleaned up on the loots here. She got gloves from Attumen, off-hand from Moroes, bracers from Maiden, a random mob dropped the shadow damage neck for her, and boots from Shade of Aran. The soulcloth vest pattern also dropped twice so the main who was a tailor got it and then she was the only other tailor, so she got that too. Eeyan also cleaned up, but not quite as much. He got his t4 gloves, and the shoulders from chess event.

Anyway after Chess we decided to go on to Prince. We swapped out to mains so Viljo and Kuan went instead of Eeyan and Telt. Unfortunately Prince didn't work out quite as well as everything else. It was pretty late at this time, and after several rounds of really bad infernal placement, we called it. (They alternated landing on the ranged or the tank...)
