Choose My Adventure: Profession and death polls

Above is the before picture for Selfloathius's first death. His story continues next week. In the meantime, the remaining Choose My Adventure schedule is:
- Fox Van Allen as Foxlight, the blood elf paladin: Friday, 8 p.m. EDT
- Matthew Rossi as Andrenorton, the troll mage, Michael Gray as Grayfields, the tauren hunter, Adam Holisky as Adammentat, the tauren druid, and Gregg Reece as Yakkowakko, the orc warlock, will be making appearances as they can
Matthew Rossi would like you to choose one gathering and one crafting profession for his troll mage. In order to avoid combos such as mining/alchemy, I've put the combos in a poll rather than separate polls for each profession type. Personally, I am voting for inscription/herbalism because we don't have a WoW.com staff scribe in the guild and Lifeblood is an awesome thing for a non-healer class to have.
| Inscription/Herbalism | |
|---|---|
| Alchemy/Herbalism | |
| Engineering/Mining | |
| Jewelcrafting/Mining | |
| Leatherworking/Skinning | |
| Blacksmithing/Mining | |
| Tailoring/Gathering (state which gathering in the comments) | |
| Enchanting/Gathering (state which gathering in the comments) |
Christian Belt would like you to choose professions for his blood elf warlock.
| Alchemy/Herbalism | |
|---|---|
| Blacksmithing/Mining | |
| Engineering/Mining | |
| Jewelcrafting/Mining | |
| Inscription/Herbalism | |
| Enchanting/Gathering (state which one in the comments) | |
| Leatherworking/Skinning | |
| Tailoring/Enchanting | |
| Tailoring/Gathering (state which one in the comments) | |
| Other combination. Please state what combination in the comments below and why. |
When compiling Selfloathius's death poll, I realized that there are many good choices here that our favorite miserable warlock will want to take advantage of. So vote for your favorite, but this will probably be the order the deaths will be done in. No need to limit him to just one!
| James: Selfloathius should make a level 1 alliance avatar, run to Stormwind and spam abuse at people for at least half an hour before telling them his horde toon's location ("come and get me if you dare"), logging back in and pvp flagging. | |
|---|---|
| Quaza: A warlock, a druid, and someone else open the lock portal on the edge of Dalaran, and have the druid (flight form) initiate the summoning of Belt over the edge. Watch as Belt goes SPLAT in Crystalsong forest. | |
| KJP: Level 10: Get pwned by Gamon. Poor guy deserves a break. Level 15: Death by Barrens Chat. Wait, what do you mean it's not lethal? Level 20: Since you'll be doing the level 20 quest, the Thandol Span will be handy. | |
| Sharvis: Duel one of your fellow guild members by Stillwhisper Pond in Eversong Woods, preferably a mage. Right before losing the duel, Fear a Frog critter. Then you lose the duel and simply wait for the cute little Frog to beat you to death. | |
| Tainnym: Make the run from Silvermoon to Tarren Mill ... via Plaguelands. | |
| Bvannas: Dueling someone vastly higher level, then once pwned, run to a nearby fire. (Literal DIAF) | |
| Xevius: Gurubashi Arena, then anyone could kill him. | |
| Malsi: Journey to the night elf starting area and jump off the tree while listening to Justin Bieber. |

Death by being feared by a critter who comes back with a vengeance.
i'd also enjoy seeing (on a priest) a psychic scream of bunnies! Or squirrels!
YOU ARE CREATIVE! T H I S !!!!

Have a mage with the refer a friend rocket mount fly you around Outlands/ Northrend and eject you into pits of high lvl mobs or just to your death from heights. Locs don't have slowfall >=)

Instant VW, then sac it not work?
Engineerins for Loathius! Must go goblin for easy self deaths on explosive toys.
kozom May 21st 2010 7:10PM
I quite enjoy the last suggestion for selfloathtius' death
Baby Baby BabyBaby OOOOOOOaHAHAHHHHHHHH!!!! *dead*
now if only the rest of his fans would follow.

Proof if anything that Time Machines don't exist or if they do exist they didn't give it to the creators of YouTube, because if they did they would never have created YouTube had they known it would have popularised Justin Beiber.... *gasp... gasp... gasp*...
Search your feelings you know it is true!
Sharvis May 21st 2010 8:13PM
I admit, I voted for this one and not my own. I was reading through the poll options and burst out laughing when I read it. Such a brilliant and cruel way to die.
icepyro May 21st 2010 8:31PM
I would only vote for this if he had to listen to that movie watch "Epics" instead.
erknost May 21st 2010 7:14PM
Selfloathius, should be totally a Inscription/Herbalism, and die by a mighty frog critter.
Dameblanche May 22nd 2010 6:46AM
aah no no no, Engineering is deffo the way to go. First you life tap yourself to low health, and then you use the goblin sapper charge to finish yourself off.
jvargas85 May 21st 2010 7:30PM
I think Andrenorton's gathering profession should be skinning for the crit bonus
Dementron May 21st 2010 7:20PM
What, no All Of The Above for the death poll?
pancakes May 21st 2010 8:07PM
With Belt behind the wheel, you can be assured there'll be a lot of deaths, so I imagine most (all?) of these will happen.
Personally, I think he should run through plaguelands, fraps it, and post it on YouTube at double speed with yakkity sax as the music.
Mognet T May 21st 2010 7:25PM
Have a nice trip in Dalaran, Selfloathias, see you next Fall!
Nonette May 21st 2010 7:25PM
Come on froggie suicide!
Even better, don't duel anyone, just keep aggroing frogs to slowly whittle away your health!
Nonette May 21st 2010 7:27PM
Oh, and make him be a blacksmith!
Teron May 21st 2010 7:28PM
Well, i can't think of a more horrible profession combination than blacksmithing/engineering, so that's my suggestion for Selfloathius.
Noah May 21st 2010 7:50PM
With engineering he could have more fun ways to kill himself, too. ;)
KJ118 May 21st 2010 7:31PM
I think Selfloathius should be Engineering/Jewelrycrafting. you would have to hate yourself to try lvling as that. Also the frog death seems fitting
Biskit333 May 21st 2010 8:01PM
A thousand times yes! I chose blacksmithing because even engineering has some items that he could find useful, but a combination of the two biggest gold sinks to level is truly a new level of pain.
themann1086 May 21st 2010 7:39PM
Hey, when's Hobbes making a mage? :D
I voted for the Silvermoon --> TM run. But there are many excellent suggestions :)
Oh, and Mining/Engineering. Have fun with that!
