My TOP 7 reasons why <Black Lotus> is the WORST guild on Green (an insider's take)

[Castle2.0]

Shout-out to Castle2.0 aka Mannastone for a very clever and humorous guild hype post. It shows off your creativity and pride in your guild. Bravo.

Thanks.

It's even better than that, it's a backfired thread-hijack! Wait, no, it's a thread hijack backfire... no, wait, a thread backfire hijack...

... i'll get back to you.

At the Chinese hotpot place 海底捞 (translation: scrape the Ocean floor [sounds delish, dont it?]) aka HaiDiLao (which has made inroads to the southern california community due to the high Chinese population), you can order a "special noodle" - make sure it's a 火锅餐馆 and not 按摩 spot so you get what you're looking for.

A waiter comes out and spins a thick thick piece of dough around in a captivating dance, lengthening it until it gets really long (like this thread) until it becomes a thin noodle, then it's cut up into pieces for the guests. Guests clap and cheer - it is after all the only table of white people in the restaurant and thus they've never seen this schtick before.

*narrator pulls back from facing one camera to face another and transitions in his 1940s plain-speak voice*

You've probably heard the popular expression to "Give 'em enough rope, and they'll hang themselves." If you give one more chance to someone who has time and time again shown themselves to be, let's say "disagreeable," they can finalize that assessment in the eyes of the community.

Well, ya see, Mannastone didn't mean any harm to Anonojoe with his feux d'artifice, but wouldn't ya know it, he provided wove a thin noodle of wit, and Anonojoe went and hung himself with it. He didn't heed the expression: 弄巧成拙。Well, at least some guests got to enjoy their noodles, and the others got to enjoy a hanging.

----------------

If you noodle it over, maybe you conclude Mannastone is just noodling about or maybe Anonojoe is just a wet noodle.

Cheers, I'm off to get some noodles for lunch. 再见。

Good point. I forgot about the randomly generated train mechanic in EQ.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but it really happens in Mistmoore. Trust me, I'd love to point my finger at people when I wiped to dozens of mobs who just randomly ran into the Garden, but it's hard to do when you're literally the only person in the zone.

Please provide fraps so that the elf court tribunal may convene and pass judgment upon the residents of Mistmoore who've wronged you so.

I was an Enchanter both times, but it's not just me, like a Necromancer told me you need to be on the North side of the Fountain at the 6AM spawn to avoid having it happen. It doesn't do it at the 8PM or the regular 22 minute spawns.

sounds like a you problem

Black Lotus are good peeps, IMO one of the nicer guilds on server. Not saying they don't have bad apples(which guild doesn't have them) but BL, Castle, Venerate, Kingdom, DaP = generally community driven guilds. Which I prefer.
