So last night, during some post-raid discussion, there were a few points that came to light that I want to address.

First off, hi - my name is Shihli. I am a * hunter *. Shihli is my main, and will continue to be my main for the forseeable (and unforseeable) future. I started playing this game in the fall of '04 (I think, might've been '05) during Thanksgiving break.

I have been trying to finish up MH/BT attunement on my ALT, Luchs, over the past month or so. He has the Vashj vial and, fortune permitting, will have an Al'ar kill tonite. Once Atar's raid has Kael down (or if we do more LF1Ham runs), I will be able to get his Kael vial.

Now, let me make this perfectly clear:

I am not now, nor will I ever, make my Shaman my MAIN toon. My MAIN toon is Shihli. The *ONLY* reason that I am pushing to attune my ALT, Luchs, is because we have had frequent healer shortages over the past few months, and I wish to have him available to help the raid in the event that should occur again.

It is NO DIFFERENT than the reason we attuned Pudolski (to help tank when we are down tanks, and to help tank tough trash packs like most of MH and Shahraz trash) or Disrupta (to help tank if one of our ferals had to miss a night). Hell, the only reason I MISSED our prior attunement runs back in December was because I was down in California, as well as figuring out if I was quitting the game or not.

I HAVE NO PLANS to switch toons. NONE. ZERO. NADA. I *ONLY* want to attune Luchs out of the interests of the raid and guild as a whole. Once Luchs gets his Al'ar and Kael'thas kills out of the way (as well as one Rage Winterchill kill), he will NOT be in a 25man raid AT ALL unless EXPLICITLY REQUESTED by Garreth, or by Atar on weekends when I am available to fill in spots for his raid.

I have to wander around Second Life every couple of months just to remind myself that I'm not as screwed up as all that. I do think it represents the future of communications, though. The natural progression would seem to be hand-written correspondence-> telegraph-> telephone-> email-> texting-> scrawling a message on a poorly-rendered lavender dick and pitching it through somebody's virtual front window. Inevitable, really.

howru!
