Lovable Losers Seek Third for Murloc Mayhem [updated]

[update] We’re full up on volunteers! But lots of people seem to want to get in on this, so go ahead and e-mail me if you’d like me to put you in touch with other other interested players, or feel free to use the comment thread here for the same purpose. [/update]

Ansawa and I have joined the Arena Tournament Realm with the intention of losing 200 arena matches and claiming an Armored Murloc mini-pet for our accounts.

Unfortunately, Ansawa’s friend was unable to join us (silly CT gambling laws!) and so we’re lacking a third person for our Arena team.

You can read more about the Arena Tournament at Blizzard’s Arena Tournament site.

Keep in mind that:

  • It costs $20 to register for the Arena Tournament.
  • You must be present for 200 matches (at the same time as us!) over the next four weeks.
  • We fully intend to lose every single match. We’re lovers, not fighters!
  • In that vein, we’re creating our characters as a triplet of matching male Blood Elf hunks, complete with flowery names. In other words, we’re not taking this too seriously.

If that sounds like fun and participation is feasible for you, please drop me an e-mail at mania@maniasarcania.com.

You can still register for the Arena Tournament if you haven’t already, but official matches (that count towards the Armored Murloc) started today, so sooner is better. :>

    Wish I could join in, but unfortunately my state is also one of those that forbids taking part in these competitions. /sad

    Sounds like so much fun – if I wasn’t living in England and had the money available I’d be so up for that.

    I hope you get some nice pictures for us. :)

    Sounds… interesting. Don’t they have level requirements to get into the Arena though(can you tell I never PvP)?

  7. Diaone - March 11th, 2009 @ 1:10 am UTC

    i would totally do that if my schedule would allow it.
    :<

    If I had $29 right now to spare I would do this in a heartbeat, sounds like fun.

  9. Seraphelle - March 11th, 2009 @ 3:29 am UTC

    Meant to say $20 :)

  10. Aleu - March 11th, 2009 @ 6:42 am UTC

    If I could pay for it, I’d join you. Two friends of mine started a 3v3 team. Maybe I could dig up the money if you really need someone. XD

  11. Moltenrain - March 11th, 2009 @ 8:48 am UTC

    Bah, I’m flat broke. I really want to join too, be awesome to make a fully geared character to get owned with. XD

  12. Tvae - March 11th, 2009 @ 8:58 am UTC

    I would definitely join in if I had joined the tournament… And of course, I would be a hunter with a cat named CuddleMuffins!

    You know, I still might, just cause I really want me a murloc.

  13. Volcan - March 11th, 2009 @ 10:10 am UTC

    Awww, i would definitely go if i could with you, but… Well have fun out there gettin beaten to death! :)

  14. Gwelynora - March 11th, 2009 @ 10:22 am UTC

    Should be orc hunks, in my opinion! Male blood elves just look like athletic females to me ;P

  15. Shagrat - March 11th, 2009 @ 11:43 am UTC

    I could possibly do this seeings as how I’ve always wanted a mini-murloc pet but while I hate PvP I also hate losing, even on purpose. I have a more competitive nature than I lead on to. But I could give a shot, for the murlocs!

  16. sprits - March 11th, 2009 @ 1:05 pm UTC

    go get those murlocs!!!

    on the off topic.. THERES A NEW SPIRIT BEAST!!!! (see BRK’s blog)

  17. avatarshaoran - March 11th, 2009 @ 1:43 pm UTC

  18. barnes - March 11th, 2009 @ 3:08 pm UTC

    Thanks for that sprits, I never would have known!

  19. Evandelle - March 11th, 2009 @ 4:17 pm UTC

    MANIA!!! There is another spirit beast tameable on the PTR!!!

  21. Evandelle - March 11th, 2009 @ 4:17 pm UTC

    sorry for the double post :P

  22. Justin - March 11th, 2009 @ 4:28 pm UTC

    Wow, it appears the overwhelming majority of you readers are penniless!

  23. Mania - March 11th, 2009 @ 10:31 pm UTC

    So I think we’ve found a third person for our team — and a fourth, and fifth, and more …

    If you e-mailed me, I’ve probably e-mailed you back by now and asked if you wanted to be put in touch with other players who are also looking for losing teams. If you haven’t e-mailed me but want to meet up with others for this, go ahead and e-mail me, or feel free to use this comment thread to set something up.

  24. TL - March 15th, 2009 @ 7:43 pm UTC

    I know I am late on this but would be willing to be a third for the experience if anyone still needs a third.

  25. Tim the Enchanter - March 17th, 2009 @ 12:04 pm UTC

    So would it be too late at this point to join a team? How long does a battle generally last if you plan on losing?

  26. Suzi - March 19th, 2009 @ 9:40 am UTC

    Just a fyi, Warcraft Pets is reporting that players who afk out, don’t wear any gear or don’t put up any fight are violating the rules and, if found out, may be disqualified. The source is the official Warcraft forums (link is on Warcraft Pets).

    Just thought you should know if you hadn’t seen that yet.

  27. Mania - March 19th, 2009 @ 3:15 pm UTC

    Thanks, Suzi!

    Remember, guys: Even lovable losers give it their best! We just happen to fail on our own merits. *grin*
