What's it called when you plagiarize a piece of plagiarized work ?
In these new and exciting days of EJ blogging (and the veritable shitstorm of useless blogs and ditto bloggers like yours truly) I could not help but notice a few interesting entries popping up.
One of these was Tanilin's post in which he claims to be plagiarizing Oggie's post.
I guess we're in a "A/S/L?!?"-esque state of mind with this new toy that is blogging and, being the sheep that I am, I'm just about to follow suit.
That's right, at this point you've already read a metric crap-ton of text (pointless text I might add) and this is basically just another imitation of a plagiarized introduction post. Burn?
Anyway.
I play a rogue. I was going to call it "Ink" but being a re-roll, that name was taken. So I got un-creative and called the damn thing Kink.
I'm not really sure how it happened (this is a lie) but I somehow ended up as the GM of Core on Eu-Mazrigos. The guild goes quite far back as un-progressed guilds go, was initially founded 2 days after wow release (in europe) but that was the wow incarnation. Goes further back (PurePlay @ bf1942) then that though.
We're a guild cursed with utter lack of ability to progress but we usually have fun while not-progressing in instances. My PvE experience is your average "killed VR, lurker and hydross" at this point.
If I actually do continue to post shit here I'm guessing it'll be heavily colored by the fact that I'm (mis)leading a guild approximately 1 year behind progression, I play a dps class that loves to whine and I like to tinker with technology, websites (HELLO http://coregamers.net), IVR systems (HELLO work) and cars (HELLO avatar picture).
I enjoy antics like this post and english is far from my first language.
Oh yeah, now I remember. I had an impulse that made me write this to start with. The first linked posts seem to think they're behind the raiding curve.
People, may I introduce myself (again).
My name is Inkm (the hell it is, it's Chris) and I'm a casualcore wow player unwilling to make the social sacrifice it would be to progress at a faster rate.
Edit;
Re: comments. The social sacrifice is not due to progressing *this guild* at a faster pace, but that it would most likely require me to switch guilds entirely, thus leaving my real life friends behind.
Sorry about the confusion.

Just out of curiousity, what's the social sacrifice you think you'd have to make? I mean, 3 days a week (for 3 hours a night) is on par with what many of my friends commit to their hobbies.

If bathing in baby blood is a social sacrifice then I do not want to be part of this society.

I see how that sentence could be misread. My mistake.
The social sacrifice would be to switch guilds / disband the guild and get into a whole different guild. Not less social because it has progress, but because I wouldn't be able to play with the 7-8 real life friends (and girlfriend no less) I'm currently playing with in the guild  .Being progressed in a guild is in no way a social sacrifice. Not at all. I probably have more playtime these days then the really progressed guys. But leaving my friends behind to seek another path would be a social sacrifice. I'll clarify this a bit in my initial post. |
