After no thought..........heres "the speech"

[Dorthin_Othortin]

As a lot of you know I run open/pug reaver raids at least once a week, sometimes however i get lazy and support other pug leaders by joining their pug reavers

Everytime i run a pug reaver raid i give a speech, ground work, guidelines, etc to make sure there is no question in how i want the raid to progress and mostly to make sure there are no disputes/arguments when it comes to loot!

A lot of ppl actually come to my raids (or so they say) only to hear the speech and hear other ppl's response to my speech the first time they hear it!

And, most every raid someone says "so when you gonna post that speech!"

well, without further hesitation..........(PS. this is the "G" rated version of the speech, the X rated version you can only hear over voice and is pretty much the same, but more, colorful lets say)

welcome to Jmar's booty bam bust reaver raid. i hold my open pug
reaver raids at least once a week, usually 2-7 runs.

Loot, your loot is your loot, you may trade private or public, leave it in the chest,
give to anyone, make certain ppl roll, keep it no matter what it is, you can pass it to my name
for public free for all auction, or anything else you can think of,
YOUR LOOT IS YOUR LOOT!

we tank/hero the reaver on the near side, to the left, close to the wall,
in healers line of sight, we will use disco balls, we will not use pets, we will not bounce agro
away from the tank/hero.

after speech i will be asking for a voluntary for tank, no i don't
care what your ac is or your hps are! you either want to tank or you don't.
you can have 500ac and 3,000,000 hps but if you don't want to tank you
are not the ideal choice!

casters you job includes killing elementals, keeping displacement up
on all, hastes on all and stoneskin is nice, but not necessary as it costs money to cast

don't be stupid or your name will be added to the "black sheep" list

when you go to get a charge try to let the hero know, shield block behind
the hero tank, only 3 ppl get a charge at a time, 3+the tank if you
are the 5th wheel you are wrong.
1 charge gets you nothing
2 charges get you nothing
3 charges get you unlimited mana/unable to be knocked down by elementals
4 charges get you nothing
5 charges makes it go away

when all the balls are spinning we fly and pull the lever on the west side, when you get fly just
say you have it and are going so multiple ppl don't go, we never pull the east lever
unless i state to do so

make sure we kill all elementals before going to puzzle room as this can cause unnecessary deaths

i do the puzzle, i will destinate 2 ppl to do lever/runes

make sure we kill all elementals before we leave the puzzle room for the same reason as stated above

i destinate who pulls the main "gold" chest, i do not care who pulls the other 3 chests, but let me
name who opens the main chest

questions, comments, concerns?

Ok every1 make sure you run up and activate the stormreaver before every1 is in and buffed.
To those "tanks" who make past the barrier run up to the big guy and whack away and fight for who is the best DPS aggro.
Bards, wizards and sorcerers do NOT take dancin balls because that spell is useless in there, if you must cast it, cast only one and only on the reaver himself you might just be uber enuff to get his aggro.
Do not kill any elementals once inside, the stormreaver can only be defeated if every1 is lying prone on the ground.
If you get fly announce it to the group, say "Im going for the lever". Fly into the stormreavers groin and begin giggling over voice chat.
No one with SP will attempt to get a charge if you aren't rich enough to drink 20 elixirs of major you don't belong in this quest.
Clerics job is to spam banishment and not to heal, this is the ultimate battle cleric quest. The reaver also fears flamestrike.
If the giants groin already has 2 or more people on it go ahead and head for a lever but be sure to die in the spikes as the lever is only unlocked once someone dies up there.
A minimum of five people at once need to do the puzzle, preferably with one person alt-tabbing to a solver over and over again until their client crashes.
Start with purple, green, red, brown cus that's the solution most of the time.
Grease and Dimension Door on the warded chest repeatedly.

Geez, I coulda used parts of that speech a while ago! On my 6th raid, I FINALLY got up the nerve to ask how in the heck the 'charge progression' worked. It's much easier knowing that.

I'll have to bug you sometime to let me in. I've seen your groups up (even think I got an unsolicited Tell invite once) but I've never been on and ready when you were running.

I do look forward to hearin' the speech!!

[Blind_Skwerl]

The best part is he says it just like a flight attendant that has made the seatbelt/emergency exit speech 1000's of times.

[Music_Man]

I like the new word "Destinate"

It's like designating someone's destiny -- either that or Jmar was just rippin his +5 flaming burst crack pipe...

Yeah I like his speech...funny to watch party chat after for the the "that's awesome" , "great speech" comments... used to always wait for Ren's reaver runs (he almost always runs 8 in a row) but I look for Jmar Booty blast's reaver runs lately...only thing is I wish you had more toons flaged ....and I wish both of you (jmar and Ren) would set a date and time and stick to it.....gotta love it when you can run it 8 times in a row w/ all your toons (btw guys lvling up a new cleric so soon I'll have 2 ready)

[Dorthin_Othortin]

well i got my ranger and rogue reaver rdy now for that reason

so the best i can do atm is 6 in a row

but i gotta tell ya after 4-5 in a row lol..........and sometimes its just hard to find sorc's/wizzies and clerics to do it

its fun as heck tho giving "the speech"

maybe other ppl will use the speech and everyone can have a booty bam bust raid!

[gemineye]

Keep up the good work!! I haven't passed up one of your raids yet.

[Shamguard]

You left out about the T.J. donkeys.


Oh, that's right were not suppose to talk about them.

[MysticRhythms]

I so do love our server ...

[Pyromaniac]

A raid is not a raid without a speech!

I've been on Jmar's raids before and always ask for "the speech"

[Jaywade]

was suprised to hear that recently 2 names have been added to the list...Jmar you should PM lostinjapan he's has another name to add to the list for ya....
