WoW - I received a guild invitation last Wednesday that was a bit more personal and creative than most I receive. It was for a new guild just getting started. The person who invited me was very personable, but then said something I found a bit odd - "You can quit if you want." I don't get this: my friend told me about bonuses or something that guilds get for new recruits. Does that still count if someone joins and quits almost immediately? I would think that a guild, especially one that is just beginning, would want people to stay to help grow the guild.
At any rate, due to the friendliness of the inviter and being part of a new guild seemed like it could be more fun than joining a guild where relationships are already forged, I bit the bullet and joined. That lasted 24 hours. Basically it was just a matter of the core members being very young and me really not having a common frame of reference with them. Conversations that are sprinkled with "wut" and "wanna" just aren't my cup of tea.
(I realize that has nothing to do with weekend goals, except to revert back to not accepting guild invitations, but since I'd mentioned guilds in another post thought I'd throw this in.)
With the Lunar Festival drawing to a close, I am very pleased to have collected 41 coins thus far including all the Elders of Kalimador and the Alliance. I'm one Elder shy of completing the Elders of the Eastern Kingdoms (Elder Dawnstrider in the Burning Steppes). I had a lot of fun getting the coins in Horde areas using my get as close to Elder as possible with Pally protection on/die/rez/get closer/die/rez/and usually manage to get the coin by the 3rd death/rez then usually die once on the way out. Also doing this without my armor on so I don't have repair costs.
So, for the weekend I would dearly enjoy getting 9 more coins for the lantern pet, but I'm not sure I can pull it off considering I don't have Cata, thus no flying mount. That's what my main will be doing. My two alts got their 5 coins and purchased their "Festive Finery."
RL - Need to donate a lot of stuff to the Goodwill; begin seriously organizing my apartment (still have unpacked boxes since moving in almost 3 months ago
); the ever-present laundry - hmmmm...I really need to get out of the house and do something fun.
