WRUP: Love Is in the Air edition
by Elizabeth Harper 
Feb 13th 2009 at 7:00PM
Adam Holisky: Love is in Air in casa del Holisky. /dnd.
Allison Robert: Probably some farming for Ulduar -- I'd like a nice stockpile sitting on an alt so that I'm covered for the days when farm time's not gonna happen. My guild was also kicking around the idea of revisiting Sunwell for fun.
Amanda Dean: I'm going to finish leveling my RAF hunter to 60 and hit up Naxx 10 with my guildies. I'll probably send out Valentines on Saturday, because I'm just like that.
Amanda Miller: I will also be working on the achievements, and hoping for the pet. We finished all of our raiding during the week, so I'll have plenty of time. I'll also have to schedule in a bout of worm killing and herbing fun.
Daniel Whitcomb: I'll be finishing up the Love is in the Air achievements. Right now, I need more Love Rockets and a Troll Rogue to shower with petals. I'm also going to continue grabbing gifts of Adoration in hopes of getting a perma-Kwee. In non-Holiday related stuff, I'm hoping to continue grinding dungeons for Kirin Tor and Argent Crusade reputation, both of which are dangerously close to exalted. Loken's the last heroic 5-man boss I need for Champion of the Frozen Wastes, so I'm probably going to see if I can get a Heroic halls of Lightning group together as well.
Dan O'Halloran: I know I've said for the last three weeks that I'm going to finish off 79 and hit 80 on my Druid, but I really need to do it this weekend to get the Love Is In The Air achievement. Only four bubbles of experience to go!
Elizabeth Harper: Hunting the illusive bag of candy to finish off the Fool for Love achievement. And if I miraculously manage to finish that, some PvP aimed at picking up the PvP mounts. (100 mounts, here I come!)
Elizabeth Wachowski: Mass Effect, because I'm about two years behind the curve.
Jennie Lees: Hoping to find time to complete Fool for Love, but most likely failing due to RL this weekend. And I still haven't leveled Herbalism.
Lisa Poisso: A brand new alt, along with a few friends and family.
Matthew Rossi: More Sarth, then working Horde side.
Matt Low: I'll be working on the LITA achievements. Other than that, it'll be quiet on the gaming front.
Michael Gray: Love is also in the air at the Gray Household. Love, fish, and everything in between.
Michael Sacco: Sarth+3 with the guild on my newly 80 (and epicced-out) elemental shaman. LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT!
Zach Yonzon: Getting two Battleground masteries. Maybe a third if I get the time. But two down for sure.
And, of course, what everyone is waiting for: Top Ten Things BRK is Doing This Weekend!
10. Cleaning out his WoW Insider digs, ninjaing a few pieces of office equipment, putting that folder of Dan's I totally swore I didn't take in the shredder, and making a DVD-backup of the dwarf pr0n.
9. Logitech G13 is in da house! Stocking up on pain-relievers as I try to de-program my fingers.
8. Laugh as people rush to complete another set of holiday achievements,leaving me free to jack up the prices on raid-mats on the AH.
7. Kick myself again for buying a 9000 gold Nobles deck an hour after the Darkemoon Faire closed last week.
6. Try to sell a Nobles deck for 13,000 gold.
5. BM-spec pet-testing at the target dummies. Moth is no-go, so it's time to get a Devilsaur again. Try not to let the thing piss off the melee-classes like the LSD Wasp of Doom did.
4. Mrs. BRK is going to Connecticut for four months starting Sunday, so it's time to interview Tempwives. They're like Entwives, but with fewer leaves.
3. Hire a band to sing the song someone emailed me about Hunters.
2. Put the "BigRedKitty WoW Insider Content Scraper" back online, baby!
1. I didn't get a Turpster-approved WoW-authenticator, so I guess it's time to start doing drugs...
So, folks, what are you playing this weekend?

Yeah... first to be downrated.

You, sir, are a moron (along with all you other trolls that join in on this 'first' crap).On topic, I'll be trying to complete as much of LITA as possible and leveling my hunter.
Graargh Feb 13th 2009 7:38PM
I need to /pity some fools (anyone who posts "first" counts as a fool). Got CoS done, need to do the other four. I'll get Naxx done on our raid tonight.
After that, who knows? I may level my Shaman.

Trying to get a bag of candy...
ellekay Feb 13th 2009 7:50PM
I already got the title AND the perma-pet =) , so I'm probably gonna level fishing and work on getting geared (I just hit 80).
Dhryke Feb 13th 2009 7:49PM
*Sigh* Trying to get my hands on those darn Bags of Candies.
=( Rough times.
LenteP Feb 13th 2009 8:48PM
Same, but loosing hope... recieved roughly 30 gifts so far (every hour when i can be online) and yet to see one single bag of candies... :/
Pryss Feb 13th 2009 7:53PM
You mean *still* trying to get a bag of candy. =(
antdude Feb 13th 2009 7:53PM
I give up on this event. It's just too frustrating. The forums are full of people who are fed up with the RNG on this stupid holiday. Achievements aren't supposed to make you log off in frustration after hours of trying. I can't think of another holiday that's been so frustrating. Running my lvl 15 bank alt through EPL for the Midsummer event was a cakewalk compared to LITA.
This is a game, it's supposed to be fun.

As a true casual player, I'm still working on getting my main (Fire Mage) to 80. He hit 68 right as WotLK was released and ever since, I've been spending a LOT of time in-game trying to hit level cap. In fact, my girlfriend laughs when I call myself a casual player. So I loudly (and proudly) proclaim that if you hit 80 in the first two months of Wrath's release, you are NOT a casual player.
But I will admit that I'd be 80 by now if I was rushing, which I'm not. I take the time to explore and enjoy the surroundings, and I spent quite a bit of time hitting up all the Winter Veil/Elder goodness.
But this weekend: 80, here I come!
Spiraea Feb 13th 2009 8:20PM
Well, just hit 78 on my paladin and recently joined a new guild so I'm going to see how that goes over the weekend and get to know my new guildmates. Do some questing, maybe try a couple more times for the LITA perma-pet but that's only when I'm stopping in for something. Meaning - I'm not going out of my way for it.
Haarits Feb 13th 2009 10:07PM
I'll be finishing up achievements (trying to get damn Candy Bag, 5 more arrows, hopefully a Perma-Peddle for fun, and running UK for the roses) and maybe get in some OS and VOA silliness. Oh, and the occasional camping for TLPD and Loque'Nahak.
Entwives reference FTW!
Niteowl Feb 13th 2009 10:27PM
I hate it.. where this candy done it every hour and still nothing... way to make us play
Tagosa Feb 13th 2009 10:32PM
I hate these candy bags, still stuck needing one more candy.
Tyler Feb 13th 2009 11:23PM
I'll probably surprise the girl I've got my eye on with random roses while playing the broken game of "Love." Other than that, Friday the 13th, Naxx 10 tomorrow, and probably going to try the game "Iji" as a pacifist.
Ichthus Feb 14th 2009 3:13AM
Red Sword of Courage and Essence of Gossamer... please drop... please?
lsschwartz Feb 14th 2009 7:59AM
Finally got my meta-achievement yesterday night, I'm a love fool now. =)
Zerapin Feb 15th 2009 11:33AM
Still haven't seen a bag of candy. Do they really drop in the game? I've not even seen anyone with the achievement.
rowboatmanno Feb 14th 2009 3:04PM
Michael Sacco is a funny man.-
Zerapin Feb 15th 2009 1:02PM
Actually, I have an update on this. Spoke with a GM, then within 4 attempts actually got 2 candy bags and completed the achievement.
