Blame Grasen........... (Random)
Fjork — Tue, 05/26/2009 - 07:49
(I'm being honest, this is utterly random.)
Guildies can skip this:
For those of you who don't know, some background information on "blame Grasen". Pretty much everything that happens in guild that people feel like joking about they blame on Grasen. It's really his own fault because when it comes to raiding he could be a tad..... hurried in his pulls, or intentionally misdirect to a clothy-healer for a good laugh. Nobody really cared though. All good fun. It's only ridiculously annoying when dfail tried it on his hunter.........
Now, for the random part:
So as some of you may know, I hope to be a fictional writer. I've been writing since age 14ish, but I have never had a book/story worthy of publication. Until now. I finally have (in my opinion) a truly worthwhile, encompassing, expansive storyline that I intend on writing out and publishing. I have been storyboarding for a few weeks on this.
However, as most of our more creative/critical types know, for every good, solid, etc, etc protagonist (hero), there must be an equally evil, underhanded, unreliable antagonist (villian)!
Which means our antagonist (villian) needed a NAME. Something strong, yet flexible. Rough, yet pathetic. These and many more traits were heavily considered, and I had a list of names (about fifteen). Well, long story short(end) I decided to ask my family/friends what they thought would be a good name.
After MUCH arguing (during which I left and came back, twice) my family and friends deicded unanimously on the most scary, despicable, horrible, but still able to be "apparently" good name they could find.
This name was not on my list, but you've probably guessed it by now.
I don't know how they came up with it, much less the SPELLING of it, because I've only seen it spelled this way once before in my LIFE. (Check a name dictionary, it doesn't exist. Only Grayson/Greyson does.)
G R A S E N
So I gurantee this now. There WILL be a re-occuring theme in my book. "Blame Grasen......"

I blame Grasen for my hatred
Alprazalam — Tue, 05/26/2009 - 18:26I blame Grasen for my hatred of ACDC =P
Wait, so your famialy
Grasen — Tue, 05/26/2009 - 13:19Wait, so your family actually picked MY name for a character in your book? Fucking Awesome!
BTW Crom, if you're ganked in Icecrown it wasn't my fault, I rarely enter Icecrown. Storm peaks on the other hand, yeah I probably poked that beehive with a stick.

The problem if we don't blame
Dragon — Tue, 05/26/2009 - 09:13The problem if we don't blame Grasen is simple, it then takes too much time to properly sort out blame.
Sure, you can go ahead and figure out which exact guildie MisDirected the wrong tank/clothie/melee dps, spent too much time in Icecrown, etc. But that takes time, and since we are in this game to have fun, and we will assume that fun=time and time=finite. It is much easier to have a predeterminted blame target with which we can precisely blame everything on because it is his fault.
What's more, when something does go wrong and people start pointing fingers at people with blame people are more willing to accept blame. The reason being is that they know they will be able to transfer the blame from themselves simply by saying. "Yes I did it, but we really all know that it's Grasen's fault."
This philosophy streamlines the blame process and allows us to move on to the finer things in life. What those are, I don't know, but it's Grasen's fault that I don't know so in the end it's all good.

(I'm also not even going to attempt to fix that last line)
Good name. I blame Grasen
cromi — Tue, 05/26/2009 - 08:18Good name. I blame Grasen when i wipe randomly, when I hurt my ego and stand there; in hurt, my will shattered in crushing agony, when I join a serenity raid and make it into orgrimmar behind him to be unmmounted and ganked by 2 hordies and spend the next 5 hours running back trying to regroup with main raid(it was actually fun to rez in middle of horde and use druid aoe),and when i am ganked by horde in Storm Peaks or Icecrown. Which now that I think about it is actually probably his fault. My blame filter is Grasen if he is not in raid i still blame Grasen. The perfect Antagonist too. He doesn't realize what he has done after it has happened. I'm just saying these things out of hurt for my ego.
I would like to read it when you are done. Writing is the only thing that has kept me from failing due to my unwillingness to do fodder work in school for the last 3 years.
finally im not to blame for
Caronte22 — Tue, 05/26/2009 - 13:40Finally, Im not to blame for bad misdirects in Raid:Salmon because it was Grasen that taught me. If Grasen teaches you and then you fail then it's Grasen's fault.
If I taught Boel to be bad then it's Grasen's fault. Since Boel learned from me and I learned from Grasen, therefore Grasen's fault. So Grasen made Derch and I. I made Boel and Run which means Grasen made each of us bad.
