Ooh don't base anything on me. My life schedule is such bs that I'm lucky when i even get to play this game. I don't even know if i ever can get on because if i even have the energy to stay up, i need to not be doing anything else with the few hours i have.
I just missed all these event before and was hoping to get to do one.

I’m having a fanfiction contest. You write some fanfiction and send it to me. There will be ~fabulous prizes~
30g+ worth of ~fabulous prizes~, though we haven’t specifically decided on which prizes yet. Don’t do it for the money anyway, do it for the love of writing.
DA RULEZ
Stories must be less than 7500 words, and more than 300 words. You can check your word count in most word processors. I don’t want fucking War and Piece, but you gotta at least try.
Stories should be strictly written word. If you really want to write an epic poem, that’s fine, but no comics, fanart, videos, pix, whatever.
Stories do not have to be about your character, though you’re absolutely welcome to write about them. You can feel free to write fanfic about other characters in the GW2 universe.
If you want to include a fellow guildie’s character, make sure it’s OK with them first. Just PM them or ask on Teamspeak or in the game.
No porn, sorry. Characters can have sex in the stories, but don’t go talking about it in lavish detail.
Guild Wars 1 events and lore is fine too, and in fact your story can take place entirely within the GW1 time frame… or really, any other point in Tyrian history. Stories MUST be about Tyria, however.
No crossovers with things that aren’t GW1 or 2. I don’t want Darth Vader barging in and taking over Maguuma.
Other than that, anything goes. You want to write about an alternate universe where Tree Jesus got killed by the first Risen he encountered and it’s up to you? Great. You want to write a fic where Prince Rurik didn’t die and the world is drastically different as a result? Fine. You want to stick strictly to canon and just do a neat narrative about a really cool time you had in WuvWuv? Neato. You want to write an epic tale about your character babysitting some Norn? Cool. A crack story about Whispers agents assigned to assassinate Scarlett Briar once and for all? Fantastic.
TIME LIMIT & HOW TO SUBMIT
Send your stories to me by PM by the 22nd of November. You can either give me a Google Docs link or DropBox or host them somewhere or whatever, or just paste them into the body of the PM.
PRIZES
We’re still figuring out prize values, mostly. But here’s the categories:
GUILDIE’S CHOICE — I’ll post the stories in the thread and then a poll. Y’all will vote on which one is your favorite. Dude with the most votes wins.
PRIZE: something awesome, probably worth around ~15g
EDITOR’S CHOICE — I pick my favorite. If this ends up being the same as the Guildie’s Choice, I’ll pick my second favorite.
PRIZE: Monsoon, and probably something else worth around ~10g
WTF IS THIS EVEN — Whichever story makes me roll my eyes the hardest and/or has the worst pun in it.
PRIZE: probably something ridiculous and goofy but cheap, also around ~5g
RANCH DRESSING — Anyone who references ranch dressing wins a Bottle of Ascalonian Salad Dressing.
All entries will be posted on the Guild Blog by Vivixenne to be immortalized forever on the internet.
For the record, I give permission for anyone to use any and all of my characters (Seshat Truthspeaker, Soundless Legion, Sonya Carmine, and Connor Borealis), though I have no idea why the hell you’d want to.
Thanks to both Viv and Mojo for helping contribute prizes and administrative assistance to make this happen.
Questions, comments? Either @ me in the thread or PM me.

I just got my first ever character to level 80, an Elementalist, can I get some tips for builds/endgame gear? Here is my current build, but I will openly acknowledge that it is sup-par and mostly there for me to wander around Tyria without worrying about activating too many skills. It's sorta kinda designed to crit often and pump out a bunch of conditions upon doing so, but I am not locked to that mindset by any means. I would prefer to stick to daggers though as I haven't used any of the other weapons in so long I have no idea what they do anymore.

Oh god I just did some wuv wuv on my elementalist I am in love with support elementalist. I....I don't think I'm going to be able to go back to pve for a while. So many support tools!
I'm gonna try my guardian now.
This is a fantastic breakdown especially the last half which is some recording of running with Nocturnal and has a breakdown of everything important he chooses to do and why. That last half is one of the better tutorial videos for playing a spec in large scale pvp I've seen.
Incidentally that spec will be unchanged in the upcoming patch where they are tweaking, well, everyone. You'll just be taking a few of those traits in a different tier than before. But I checked, and it'll still be possible to get all of them in the end.

Main goal for this map is to offer players something they can do that is similar to WvW and allow them to continue their WvW progression while waiting for existing WvW map queues. http://i.imgur.com/rHzTOC2.jpg
Able to get to this map anytime from a drop down in the WvW menu. Once the map is full, it will create more instances of itself so you can always get into this map. http://i.imgur.com/y2T0rxB.jpg
Able to place siege, capture objectives, which affect your scores in the Edge of Mists map but does not affect WvW scores. (so that servers with higher population does not dominate the WvW matches as they can fill up more Edges of the Mists maps).
Matches are shorter than current WvW matches. More in terms of hours for a match rather than a week long.
All the objectives are very different in gameplay, mechanics, and creatures.
Generate supplies differently in this map – build generators to supply a reactor that give you supply ticks to your keep. No dolyaks to kill. http://i.imgur.com/IxGQyKM.jpg
The more objectives you own near your keep the greater bonus you will receive.
Three sectors
Three sectors of map with unique creatures and different objectives: http://i.imgur.com/fRVKbRA.jpg
Arctic sector, Desert sector, Jungle sector.
You can expect to see kodan in arctic, grawls/trolls in jungle, and ogres in desert.
Each sector has a keep, 2 resource camps, a tower, 3 unique objectives (i.e. for arctic sector the objectives are a shrine, bell tower, and a forge. For desert sector the objectives are beastmaster workshop, desert airport, worm tunnel. For jungle sector there is an altar, statuary, observatory)
Each objective is guarded by a different enemy with an unique set of skills. They are designed for 3-5 players minimum.
Getting an objective in the jungle sector guarded by an air elemental grant you a new skill that allow you to jump further.
Getting an objective in jungle sector guarded by a grawl grant you a thing you can commune with that act as a giant stationary siege weapon.
Getting an objective in the desert sector guarded by a balloon pilot allow you to call down airstrikes.
Enemies have unique skills – petrify you, turn you into a rabbit et
Sentry turrets can be placed on the map once you have controlled all 3 objectives that allow you to spot enemy players and zergs.
Generate supplies differently in this map – build generators to supply a reactor that give you supply, no dolyaks to kill.
Can build and destroy bridges between the different parts of the map. There are certain bridges that you cannot destroy them so you are never locked out of an area. http://imgur.com/a/d2y4G
Since the map is a series of interconnected islands, you can get knocked off the island and fall to your death.
Sentry points are currently not in the map but might be implanted later to give solo players some things to do.
Owning a keep and objective in the arctic area will grant you a blizzard that cause perioidic damage to enemy attackers. More objectives you control the hard the blizzard ticks. Blizzard also can obscure your vision. http://i.imgur.com/jEiMf8y.jpg
You will get World XP in this map, same as the standard maps.
There are no world completion stuff inside this map.
You can also complete your WvW meta achievements in these maps.
There are no jumping puzzles in this map yet but one could be added later.
Parties can enter the same map together but getting into the same map together as a guild is very tricky since there are multiple instances of the map once it begins to fill.
New achievements for this map.
Rewards for winning this WvW map (not sure what they are yet) but they will not affect the current WvW scores/rewards/rankings.
There's a "desert" section of the map, through I couldn't find any screenshots. The existence of desert environment art suggests new crystal-deserty-type areas in the future?
I won't lie, this stuff looks hella cool. NICE needs to be in the beta I says.
Hey guys, could I please get an invite into [NICE]? My buddy and I are getting back into GW again, and I guess I got exiled in the guild purge. Game just isn't the same without the warm fuzzy blanket of a [NICE] tag.

Oo, interesting. I really like how mob design is improving (although that owl griffon looks like a pain to fight). I'm just worried that this will kill WvW for lower tier servers, considering how queues would be less of a deterrent.

So the new fa ts3 bazinga.me is being run/paid by a guy who has bragged about about ddos'ing memeber of the wvw community.
To log in there is to give him your IP, even if you have dynamic it does not actually change that often. The dude is paying for it off's pop's cc and is younger... he 'swears' his DDOs ing days are over but.... ew...
Can you use it? sure
Are you sure something bad will come of it? No
But why bother with shadiness. Use RETs or ours until its fixed.

So like, the Guardians teleport meditation, the one which breaks stun, 1200 range, teleports to target, sets fire?
Yeah you can teleport arena (hammer 5 skill) with it.
Cast hammer 5 and teleport during the cast animation.
SURPRISE!
Also it works with banish. The launch.
You can also banish someone then teleport arena them before they can get up.
This seems to be a feature of any instant teleporting skill, so if you have one in your class, experiment. I know that you can do thief dagger pistol 3 (the shoot and shadowstep) from stealth and backstab before the knife attack lands. Works with steal too.

Any skill with no cast time can be instantly triggered at any time, regardless of what you're doing or any CC you are suffering at the time.

That's not what I meant. Or what I want to focus on. Instants are instant and I'm taking that knowledge for granted.
I meant that casting the aoe effect of the hammer bubble and then casting the instant teleport will teleport the hammer bubble along with you.
You'll start the cast 1200 meters away and finish it right on top of them, trapping them within the ward.
It doesn't have to work like that. They could have coded that out if they wanted to. For example, teleports wont actually teleport you anywhere if you don't have a target, but leaps will still make you travel. I was very surprised that this would have been allowed with a ward that traps people like that. I thought that the teleport would instantly trigger, but would cancel any skill with a cast time, preventing it from finishing.
Also, knowing that a skill is instant is not the same as realising that you can combine them in this way. I've known about instants for a month, have had both skills for about two weeks, and never once thought that combining them was possible until I had the idea less than two hours ago. The combination is important information.

The elementalist power Churning Earth (Earth 5 on Dagger) has a huge cast time but also huge point blank AOE damage. Start channeling, Lightning Flash into a group of baddies (or Invaders!) and POW, numbers everywhere plus like 8(?) bleeds on everyone.

WVW MONDAYS! Get hype.
Enjoy this get hype WvW playlet of the {nice} army besieging a poor tower by @mojojoeo@wolvesight@yougottawanna. Who is who? you must guess. Why wont those suckers listen to nice and just walk away from the towers?
Any on-swap sigils do. I believe the internal CD is 9-10 sec (to roughly match normal weapon swapping), so you can't spam it as fast as you can swap attunements. Still nice though.
Rolled an elem and I am digging her. Only level 7 but leveling is going so much quicker than with my necro. I just switched to dagger/dagger (from scepter/dagger) and it seems to be quicker yet. I'm actually outleveling the hearts and events in my area. Should I stick with dagger/dagger or is there a preferred (read: more efficient) leveling build?
Also, many thanks to the guys who came and helped me kill the two champs last night. Level 6 area and I got two level 14 items. WTF?

eles are the easiest class i have ever leveled, and i have an 80 ranger and a guardian. ill edit in skills in a sec
get the earth shield and mist form Cantrips. your elite should be the pet. conjured hammer is the key. It shreds enemies. crits very very heavy. and blinds
You have your heal, 2 cantrips that heal and grant you might on uasage. You can also swap to water attunement to trigger healing and extra damage in lightening form (which you should be in for speed. and attacking unless you are healing in water). you shold have a hammer out every possible engagement. groups will dies to you. vets will die to you. you become a machine of death.
As you level get the fire skills first as they boost the length of time your hammer works. Then water. last is the electric.

Any skill with no cast time can be instantly triggered at any time, regardless of what you're doing or any CC you are suffering at the time.
That's not what I meant. Or what I want to focus on. Instants are instant and I'm taking that knowledge for granted.
I meant that casting the aoe effect of the hammer bubble and then casting the instant teleport will teleport the hammer bubble along with you.
You'll start the cast 1200 meters away and finish it right on top of them, trapping them within the ward.
It doesn't have to work like that. They could have coded that out if they wanted to. For example, teleports wont actually teleport you anywhere if you don't have a target, but leaps will still make you travel. I was very surprised that this would have been allowed with a ward that traps people like that. I thought that the teleport would instantly trigger, but would cancel any skill with a cast time, preventing it from finishing.
Also, knowing that a skill is instant is not the same as realising that you can combine them in this way. I've known about instants for a month, have had both skills for about two weeks, and never once thought that combining them was possible until I had the idea less than two hours ago. The combination is important information.
The elementalist power Churning Earth (Earth 5 on Dagger) has a huge cast time but also huge point blank AOE damage. Start channeling, Lightning Flash into a group of baddies (or Invaders!) and POW, numbers everywhere plus like 8(?) bleeds on everyone.

ok so heres the deal. Dagger dagger for lvling.
get the earth shield and mist form Cantrips. your elite should be the pet. conjured hammer is the key. It shreds enemies. crits very very heavy. and blinds
You have your heal, 2 cantrips that heal and grant you might on uasage. You can also swap to water attunement to trigger healing and extra damage in lightening form (which you should be in for speed. and attacking unless you are healing in water). you shold have a hammer out every possible engagement. groups will dies to you. vets will die to you. you become a machine of death.
As you level get the fire skills first as they boost the length of time your hammer works. Then water. last is the electric.
Lightning hammer.
Don't fight dredge.
Grats, you are 80.
(I actually keep a few dredge slaying potions in my inventory in case I do end up in a dredge-heavy area)
