Downfall:The Superior Guild! Dwarves the superior race? I think so.

Vulk's picture

Vulk — Wed, 07/30/2008 - 02:06

After raid tonight I looked back at the experience. We had a night full of wipes on a more or less farm boss, and yet, I still had a blast! I deduced that this is because downfall is such a great, fun guild to be in. I hopped into a vent channel with HBK and we started discussing why downfall is such an awesome guild. I came to this deduction: Downfall is such an awesomer guild because Dwarves are the superior race! Lowe and behold, the leader of Downfall is a dwarf! Thats right you heard it, I'm better than you.(Unless your a dwarf, then we are equal) :P lol. Continue reading. Please.

During our contemplation of guild leadership and how it affects the sink or swim status of a guild and raid, and how our guild has two, TWO, successful raids I kept in mind how our guild leadership fulfills both of our kindred philosophies. In short, our philosophies dictate that raids and guilds only become successful when the leadership of both possesses certain qualities. Leaders must have compassion for others. Leaders can pick favorites but not let that have any influence upon loot distribution, treatment or fair judgment on internal issues. They must be intelligent enough to comprehend the inner-workings of the human mind so that they can screen away members that may be unhealthy to introduce into our community. Lastly they must be kind and selfless, we cant have a leader who is all about "ME ME ME MINE." It just doesn't work. I call these the Super Superior Qualities.

Its not only the leaders that must possess these qualities, members and the guild as a whole must also do their part. Everyone in a community such as downfall must have some sort of compassion for others as well as an understanding of how others may be feeling or react to a situation so as to avoid causing friction with guild relationships. The responsibility of finding people that posses this quality, and weeding out those who do not, falls upon the shoulders of the officers. But the responsibility of maintaining the harmony that we all enjoy so much falls upon the shoulders of you and me.

Think of all the kind, generous, selfless and fun people you have met in this game and how many of them are in downfall. How many of them are dwarves? Now think of the total population of dwarves on the server, there isn't many. Think of how that relates to the number of kind dwarves you have met in and outside of guild. To help jog your memory I will name a few of the dwarves many of you have had the privilege of playing with, dating/dated or married. To name a few, in no particular order, we have Casecold, Garreth, HBK, Kognus, Kybosh, Nrcoolj, Shinzwei and Vulk. Sorry if I forgot you in that list, I'm only Dwarvish and everyone makes mistakes. Don't kill me. And hell, I'll be the first to admit my opinion on that last bloke may be a little bit bias, but only a little. Anyway back on track, out of all the dwarves you can think of how many of them posses the Super Superior Qualities?

Thats right 99% of them. I say 99% because everyone makes mistakes, there is always an exception to the rule. God made Brittany Spears IRL so it goes without saying that Blizzard will foul up something eventually. I know who you are all thinking of and let me say it before you blurt it out and make your RL neighbors shoot you strange looks... dotdotdot... ... .. dot. LOL@DANGLY!!!!11!!1one. Dwarves maintain the highest ratio of decent to indecent people in the world we call World of Warcraft. Dwarves have inserted their name at the end of a sentence that organizes the superior races in ascending order (thats lowest to highest in case you forgot :P). Lets take a look at that sentence now, and remember, SENTENCES ARE NOT A GAME, THEY ARE REAL AND LAW!

"The superior races listed in ascending order: (insert any horde race here), Humans, Nightelves, Gnomes and Dwarves." - Cited from an article written by Vulkswagon Studios.

There you have it ladies and gents, proof that Dwarves are the superior race. There is no corporation more trustworthy at bringing you the most up to date and honest news than Vulkswagon Studios. Do not worry folks, we may be the superior race but we are not going to go on a genocidal rampage like Hitler and his humans did to those poor gnomes. To this day no gnome wishes to return and live in Gnomeregan because of the atrocities committed there. The humans claim they didn't do it but we all know the truth. Still though Humans are better than horde by leaps and bounds, but only by gnomish leaps and bounds.

Good Night. Good Dawn. Good Morning. Good Afternoon. Good Evening. Good Dusk or Good What-Ever-You-Want-To-Call-This-Time-Of-Day-That-You-Are-Reading-This-Lengthy-Yet-Fun-And-Interesting-Tid-Bit-Written-By-The-One-And-Only-Vulk-Of-Gorgonnash fellow Gorgonnashians, and good luck in your daily endeavors of ridding this world of outlandish beasts and Hordish scum!

The dwarf race had no

Dikymo — Wed, 08/06/2008 - 02:07

The dwarf race had no choice.  The gnomes rolled into town and served good old bronzebeard with a simple letter. it read as follows.

 

 HEY WE ARE MOVING IN... DONT LIKE IT, WE WILL BLOW THIS PIECE OF SHIT CAVE YOU CALL A CITY BACK TO EVERQUEST!!!!! no no dont offer us your women. we'll build a train to stormwind to pick up some proper whores. btw, why does it smell like piss in here?

Also forgot to mention.

Vulk — Tue, 08/05/2008 - 10:52

Also forgot to mention. What race was it that offered to give shelter to the gnomes in their time of need? THE DWARVES! Hell we even game them their own sector of our city and they repaid us by giving us a safe form of transportation connecting SW and IF. A previously long, perilous flight. I must say though, those gnomes are quite tolerant of all the beard-sex that goes on in the dwarven capital.

Noidling — Fri, 08/01/2008 - 01:14

Vulk just said what we (and I mean the entire master-race of dwarves of course) have all been thinking since the moment we rolled our horde-stomping, beer-swilling, little barrels of fun.  You knew it, we knew it, but we are humble demigods, and didn't want to hurt anyones feelings.

Dikymo — Thu, 07/31/2008 - 11:35

 Apparently dwarves are also amazingly long winded. I picture our little Vulkie poo sitting in front of a mirror saying "I'm good enogh I'm smart enough and gosh darnit people like me." I respect your need for attention. But seriously... 

 You started by calling Casecold cool. Case is alot of things, cool isn't one of them. (<3 case)

 so it breaks down like this

 

Dikymo > Vulk + Casecold

So you see me by myself is already better than 2 dwarves. You get nothing, you LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR!

Olorien — Wed, 07/30/2008 - 13:11

While I appreciate the dwarvish point of view on things I have to say that I think you have a slightly skewed perspective on things.  See if you come at the question of dwarves being the master Race from a realistic point of view you realize that they are just failed gnomes, and the reason they are so ugly is that they took too many steroids.  So in actuallity Gnomes are where it is at.

Vulk your picture was great,

Dragon — Wed, 07/30/2008 - 12:14

Vulk your picture was great, however I am afraid that Vulkswagon studious is behind the times as their list does not include ANY mention of the draenei race.

I still wish the current dragon was a draenei female. BTW, for crappy looking special attacks dwarves fail. For awesome shot animation tho, dwarves win.

Now if their could only be dwarven shaman.......

Alright fine. I'll stand up

jaibyrd — Wed, 07/30/2008 - 10:13

Alright fine. I'll stand up and admit I have dwarf envy.  It's been 2 days since I have thought of making yet another low level dwarf toon.  This all started because my son, Dwarvedold (dwarf warrior), introduced me to wow and to dwarves in general.  He assures me that dwarves are the ONLY race that is worthy of adulation.  Sigh...I already had a human at this time and was lvling her so my poor little pally dwarf is left stuck in her 20's.  Not forgotten (who could forget those long red braids flying in a circle when she casts spells?) and not ignored but definately neglected.  Thanks for the reminder to play and enjoy my dwarves!!

Yes, I like to heal. No, I've never been shadow.

I have yet to meet a dwarf I didn't like. Even Dangly. I like Dangly. He just makes hilariously disastrous decisions.

If I grew a beard IRL, I'd look like my toon.
