I was going to try to come up with a twist, but thought to myself, you know, Matty, for once, just follow the damn rules. It's the Dwarf thing to do.
My technical question is this: because I have BOA pets on my account, if she opens up her mail, she will automatically get points for a pet. Is this okay?
And, on whose authority do I ask?
Ironskillet is a tough little nugget. We'll see how she does.

Ironskillet! I love it! Good luck, Ironwoman!
ReplyDeleteand I have BoA pets too. I do not think achievements give XP. Unless I am wrong?

With the name Ironskillet and a Dwarf! She just has to make it!
ReplyDeleteAch! Don't be minding about your wee pets, I think most everyone has them.
Also on one iteration of this Ironman's rules was something about no help from your other characters which I wasn't certain if it meant no bank alt. That would be a deal breaker for me so I have one.
Okay, whew, because I can't take them to the Stormwind Pet Rescue. So, I guess the very nature of this is to "live off the land," and by one's own wits. Two qualities I lack in the real world sometimes!
ReplyDeleteAlready, Tome, I was thinking about you, Skillet running around, punching boars in the snouts, and along comes a priest with generous buffs. Maybe when I get a chance I'll make a level 1 guild called "No Buffs Please." A simple right click took them away, but still, damn you nice people! :)
If there were no other benefit to doing the Ironman, I still think it's worth it to find out there are nice people out there, lol. I had to run and hide to get rid of them for fear they'd see me being ungrateful!
