Cool stuff. I was kicking around ideas for a "Top 10 discarded profession ideas" list but I never really got around to working on it.

Mine was too depressing to win...

Top 10 things to do after buying factions
10. Be thankful that you have a copy by drinking your favorite drink.
9. Frantically open the box, and wrip the access key pamphlet open.
8. Fumble around on your keyboard trying to put in the code; it finally works on the fourth try
7. Log your character in, run to Lion's Arch and start screaming "I have factions! I have factions! Hooray!"
6. Try to do some random arenas with an assassin or ritualist; get owned by one of the six core professions
5. Ask your guild for some PvE help, only to find out they started playing four hours ago and are two missions ahead of you.
4. Make a new Roleplaying Character, and start screaming that the instructor is moving too slow, for you of course are a Guild Wars veteran who is way too good for this n00b stuff.
3. Run over to Guild Wars Guru forums with your latest ideas, and make a post -- only to find out that there are 7 other threads just like it.
2. Get slaughtered in a Pick Up Group for the first 'level 20' mission.
1. Drink some more of that drink you drank earlier.

how the hell did u know???!?!?!?

is this a secret language or something

It's commonly known as 1337speak, leetspeek, 13375p34k or variants of that, however what was used was an even more intense version known as AOLer.

Here's a quick guide to the most common versions. I know I'm missing a few letters for AOLer. Specifically ones that include more than one symbol.

AOLer (often used in conjunction with leet):

\/\/ = W
\/ = V
I_ or |_ = L
I_I or |_| = U
$ = S
+ = t
( = C
! = i

Leet:

1 = L or I
2 = Z (not commonly used)
3 = E
4 = A
5 = S
6 = b (some people exclude 6 or use 8 instead)
7 = T
8 = B
9 = g
0 = O

Word substitutions:

U = you.
R = Are.
1337 = Leet = Elite
nub = n00b = Noob (not to be confused with Newb, a n00b is essentially a troll. They live only to irritate and insult, often badly.)
Newb = Newbie (not to be confused with n00b, a newbie is someone new to a game, who wants to learn.)
j00 = You
teh = the (supposedly grew from an intentional misspelling.)
zor = suffix, often added to 1337 and combined with bad spelling (teh, nub, u, r, j00 etc.) to show sarcasm.

MMSDome · May 09, 2006, 02:12 AM // 02:12

lol nice and congrats.

PS: Thanks for posting the leet alphabet

Top 10 Chuck Norris Faction Facts.

1. Chuck Norris' tears give party god mode for 10 seconds, too bad he still cannot /cry.
2. Shiro once fought Chuck Norris in a dual; he is now closer to the stars, because Chuck round-house kicked him all the way to the sun.
3. Chuck Norris is so evil; Balthazaar is too scared to ask for 1 platinum when chuck wanted to get his fow armor.
4. Chuck Norris is so good at dancing, he beat male ritualist at a dance off. All others competing forfeited after the first dance off.
5. Chuck Norris is now the richest person in guild wars. He started gw gym, and turned all his members into stick figures, aka, assassins.
6. Chuck Norris counts to infinity every time he tries to arrange a scrimmage. There's no worthy opponent when the chuck is here.
7. Chuck Norris rage quit factions within 20 seconds, he found out his two names were already taken by prophecy characters. Second choice was the pink power ranger.
8. If Chuck Norris is a boss in factions, no one would ever find out what green he drops. My guess is the Chuck Norris beard, okay okay I better start running.
9. Chuck Norris finished factions 30 minutes before everyone else. He didn't have to stand there and listen to instructor Ng's lecture; instead he gave Ng a lecture alright, all because he thought Ng was copying his style. He gave Ng a quick woop arse, then said, you cannot handle the Chuck.
10. When Chuck Norris wanted to be closer to the stars. All he had to do was round-house kick the ground he stands on, and it send him right among the starts faster than the speed of light, hence he also made the first contact. That is why faction monsters all look like aliens.

Top 10 reasons to play as an assassin in Guild Wars Factions

10. Shadowstep allows you to a quick bathroom break without losing step in battle.

9. Ginsu dice you enemies and still perfectly slice a tomato.

8. Forget knives... grab a sharpie and draw moustaches on you enemies and disappear into the shadows!

7. Would you rather be a Ritualist? Those hippies wear lampshades on their heads for cryin' out loud!

6. Prove your agility by not falling over when you run, even though you look like you'd topple any moment.

5. You get to do the robot. C'mon... it's the freakin' robot! How cool is that?!

4. Combo three attacks that do as much damage as ONE hammer attack.

3. Female assassins can infiltrate any area by slipping under doors and between cracks. They are so thin, that they turn sidewise to disappear.

2. Your armor looks like a Henckels Cutlery catalog.

1. You get to use the word "ass" twice everytime you say "assassin" and no one can yell at you for bad language!

When I read some of these entries (especially this one)....I feel even luckier to have won anything. This is freakin' FUNNY!!! Especially numbers 6, 5, and 1. Nice work.

Mr Urthadar · May 10, 2006, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Here was my entry... Obviously they did not read it, or I would have won...

Top Ten Things To Do Once Your Spouse Finally Leaves You Because of Factions

10. Go outside. The sunlight will hurt at first, but you'll need to be less
pasty. This is required for your assimilation with society.

9. Bathe. Your hygiene has faltered because of Guild Wars, practice hygiene
with this skillbar - Cleansing Was Dove, Refreshing Was Crest,
Painful Was Listerine, Clean Was New Underwear.

8. Stalk your ex. They've left you ... You might as well dress up like an
assassin and shadow her wherever you go. [If you're a lady who will be
dressing like an assassin, please email me your pics] Bring a friend so
that you can use your Recall skill, if she sees you!

7. Train. No, not a choo-choo. And no, I don't mean train for the GWWC.
Lift weights and run. Item 8 above will benefit from this.

6. Become a drunkard. "What?! You can't train, be an assassin, and a
drunk!" I hear you say. However, recall that Brad Wong, from Dead Or
Alive 3 was a great fighter and a drunk. So, we *know* this is possible!

5. Attend "Gentlemen" clubs regularly. You're accustomed to seeing large
bosoms in GW, why not see it in real life! A sure fire way to attract
the lady's attention is to yell out, "Hey, Cynn, throw an enervating charge
on me, Baby!"

4. Get Tattoos. They look cool on your monks and necros. Why not get a vile
scar pattern for yourself? The performers at the "Gentlemen" clubs will
certainly respond better to you if you have ink.

3. Build a guild hall. "What? Only the wealthy can do that!" Not true!
With enough imagination, and ummm cardboard boxes, you too can have
Wizard's Isle in your backyard. However, be warned, some people will not
understand why you are building the Isle, except for the local neighborhood
kids. And we've all learned that `brats' ruin GW, so keep them out of your
hall!

2. GvG at the mall! People dress up like Pac-Man and play Pac-Man in the
neighborhood of big cities. You just need to find 15 other souls in your
current predicament. But for God's sake, make sure they use TS, or you're
doomed!

1. Count down the days until Chapter 3!
