BRK, I thought I can only get random posts from TJ’s blog (TJ, I love your blog). I do miss raiding.

BRK… I don’t think that asking for the original dollar back is completely unfair!!! You’re taking back what you lost! When a country loses a war they have to give back the territory and the prisoners that they took! Why should this be any different?!?! You have won, and your territory (dollar) should be returned!

TJ says we should let her friends know what damn fine friends they is, and I agrees.

BRK, you's a damn fine friend.

Despite getting her killed.

@btg
correct me if im wrong, and i may be, but i thought game mechanics prevented someone from following someone else off of a cliff.

I wholeheartedly support any TJ killing activity. I’ve had her on follow running into MC. I didn’t think about it and jumped down into the lava. She would not follow me on to the ramp. I got to spend all of MC without a Healthstone for that one.

What I take out of all of this is an example of what a guild can do to make every member feel accepted and welcomed. Bet or no bet, TJ is in wonderful, caring hands. She thinks she’s not giving anything back to them, but she is. If she wasn’t contributing in any way, she wouldn’t be there, help or no help.
Too often we expect people to play their chars exactly how we would play them; process information perfectly; know when to move and what to do in any given situation. You may know the Prince fight inside and out because you’ve been here 183 times before, but having to spell out what is to happen and what people need to do is as necessary for you as it is for Ms. Squishy who is on her virgin run. And I suspect having to explain to TJ where to go and what to do is as helpful to the veterans as it is to her. They just won’t admit, “Oh yeah, blue box THEN the nipple which the pets are tanking.”
And I swear, on a stack of sporeling snacks, I have never on purpose dumped aggro onto a guild squishy. A non-guild squishy who thought they were Illidian’s gift to Outlands, yes, but never a guild squishy, but the thought is tempting for the laugh.

I think it’s just fine to involve the dollar in the current bet, assuming that there will be opportunities for TJ to win it back in the future. It’s like when two rival schools play for some trophy that otherwise has little value or purpose. The current winner gets the privilege of holding it and rub it in the nose of the current loser :). I’m sure there will be more bets, and that TJ has not seen the last of the dollar.

That’ll teach her to hold her bladder and save herself.
