+10 Intellect bonus!
I, alone, have braved the harsh enviromnemts, the cruel verbal lashings, and the horrible puns...and have emerged victorious!
For I, alone, with none other than my wit, have defeated the elite Barren's Chat!
I shall bestow the tale upon thee!!
It was a dark and stormy night...
(actually, it was in the middle of the afternoon)
...and I was traversing the harsh climate of the Barrens after conquering my way through the dangerous Stonetalon Mountains.
(well, to a level 25 druid, it's not that dangerous, actually)
I had managed to skillfully evade two alliance members that were ready to rip me to shreds, and had headed back to the Barrens.
(I ran out of their range and used my prowl ability to disappear from them)
Unfortunately, I failed to noticed an alliance paladin standing sneakily behind the tall grass by the Crossroads.
(she was in full view, but I didn't see her until she hit me down to half my health)
I was limping after a strike from her mighty sword, and tried to run away. But, it was to no avail! She enchanted me and killed me!
(she used a stun ability to stop me from getting away from her since it would have been embarrassing to have a level 25 druid run from a level 51 paladin safely)
Right before I fell, I noticed a comrade...a highly armored Orc standing right there, ready for battle.
(a level 54 warrior that was PvP flagged)
As I hurried back and was revived by some miracle, I questioned my comrades...why did nobody help me? Yet, I was scorned by them! Called unpleasant things, and shouted at for going near the alliance!
(after I ran my ghost back to my body and complained about them just standing around and doing nothing while I was being killed, they called me 'stupid' and 'dumb' with misspellings and all caps in general chat, until I told them that you sort of get flagged when you quest in contested territory)
Well, I would not take those sort of insults sitting down! I was a proud tauren druid! I laughed in their faces...
"Why, you call me dumb, yet you can't even spell the word right, and need to shout it! Compared to you, I'm a genius!"
I had stumped my bretheren for some time...
(10 minutes)
...before one of them found a retort. Others were getting involved in our battle of wits, or in their case, lack there-of.
(it had degenerated into people calling each other 'retards')
A challenger then stepped up, and called that he would defend the retarded people of the world! He boldly stepped forward...but in the end, just proved his own stupidity as I cut him down with words and truth!
(some moron said "I may not have down syndrome, but I won't let you make fun of retarded people"...except with much worse spelling. So, in response, I gave him a paragraph long explanation of the difference between retardation and down syndrome)
A silence blanketed the area...but to me, it was a silent victory. I was thanked by the two of my bretheren that understood my intelligent remark, and the rest of the talking had been reduced to nil.
(nobody spoke over the chat since they were trying to comprehend what I had said, except for about 2 people that actually understood what I said and thanked me for stepping up)
And that, my friends, is how I single-handedly slayed the elite beast known as the Barren's Chat!
(I won't deny that part...I did manage to kill the entire chat. Two out of over 30 people still talked. It's quite an accomplishment, seeing as how most people are so afraid of the Barren's Chat that they turn off General Chat upon reaching the zone)
I did it for no reward...but if you throw a gold or two my way, I wouldn't turn it down...
(Yea I would, actually...)
