¤ GAF Guild Belcher's Bluff Tournament #1 ¤
Welcome, welcome to the first ever GAF Guild Belcher's Bluff Tournament! I've been meaning to start this up for a while and I feel the lull between the game and expansion is the best time.
¤ What Is Belcher's Bluff? ¤
Added in the first Bazaar of the Four Winds, it's a mini game that is played by trying to make your opponent drink too heavily and pass out. Structured similar to rock paper scissors, you both select an option on your 1-5 bar, then an outcome is made. You can choose to drink, take a fake drink, or heal up. Of course, you can choose to harm your opponent if they fake it with a rousing belch!
¤ Where Does The Skill Come In? ¤
In addition to the previous skills, you can select unique abilities that modify your playstyle, learned from the masters of Om themselves!
Learn more here: wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Belcher's_Bluff
¤ What Are The Details Of The Tournament? ¤
Starting tomorrow night, I'll be heading up a squad to head to each city to assist guild members in getting the signature moves in preparation for the tournament. It is possible to win without these (and are not necessary to play in the tournament) but I'd like to help you get them (and the achievements!)
Other details:

Jumped into WvW after we did the jumping puzzles.
I just started randomly following a commander as people shouted out acronyms that I didn't understand. We were also getting our asses kicked for the most part. I'm not sure if this is one of those "time of day things" or if that one world always holds 80% of the maps, but it was still fun trying to hold down a fort while an army while their army banged against our door before killing us all. Someone posted a TS server as I was leaving, so I might hop into that next time to see if I can't get a better understanding of whatever is going on.

Most of the shorthand is simple; Hills and Bay are the two forts on the east and west side of the map, respectively. "Garri" is the keep at the center of the map.
The rest of the abbreviations are usually a cardinal direction and an objective. "NET" is NorthEast Tower, "SWC" is SouthWest Camp, and so on. The only exception is that people usually just use "NN" and "SS" for North and South camps (the double letter is so people don't go "N? North what?).
There's a few other odds and ends, like Wurmgate (the northern most gate of bay, where a wurm spawns), Watergate (the gate into garrison that leads up from the water on the SE side), Suicide Gate (the SW gate into garrison, so named because the approaches to it all suck)... "Cata Spot" is usually one of two places; the southernmost wall at Bay (there's a little niche where people drop catapults that are out of sight and siege range) or the middle of the wall at Hills (same deal; not a lot of the built-in siege can hit that spot). Both places allow a single battery of catapults to fire through both the outer and inner walls of the keeps, so that's where people tend to drop em.
Might be forgetting a few, but that's most of em.
Edit: Oh yeah; "RI" refers to Righteous Indignation, a buff that the Supervisor / Lord has immediately after an objective is captured. They have 5 minutes of invulnerability to prevent the objective from being immediately flipped. You'll see people call out "RI 2:30", that's just how much time they have left.

Jumping puzzle takes less than a minute yet there are TWO videos almost totaling 30 minutes.
Thanks for this. Makes a lot more sense now.
Well probably dive into the wiki a bit before I head back in.

jumping puzzle events yay! I'm sorry I missed it 
If they're going to be on Wednesday I should be able to make some at least!
I am gonna have to miss Missions this Saturday too unfortunately. It's my sister's boyfriend's 40th birthday. He is a professional chef, and as such I would like to encourage him to stick around as long as possible

Go to the options menu.
First page has a selection to turn events and personal story off.
edit: it also works for the compass.
That`s perfect. Thank you. You know I trawled through the menus multiple times over the last few days and everytime missed the option staring me in the face. I think I was expecting a checkbox rather than a dropdown
Thanks a lot. Lifesaver.
My work PC isn't the greatest, so maybe it's an issue on my end? But sounds like your audio kept looping? For example the first comment about seeing if mumble was muted played like 5 times, at decreased volumes each time.
EDIT: Also, still made me laugh when the random came in and everyone celebrated being let free.

I found Mesmer really hard to play before max level and access to a full build :< I think it's really fun once you're max level and have access to all the traits, utilities, and proper gear though. Their direct damage in PvE is just awful compared to other classes but they make up for it with amazing control and support (reflects, condition clears, boon stripping, stability, quickness, stealth, a touch of group invulnerability, blah blah blah)
For levelling in the open world I'd probably go sword/x and greatsword
For offhand I'd probably go pistol, sword, or focus offhand - I like focus because it gives swiftness and the Illusionary Warden does an OK amount of AOE damage (the other two offhands I mentioned have only single-target phantasms).OmegaSkittle

Thanks for help last night! It was a pretty fun time. Didn't even know about the Belcher's Bluff activity.
I'll beat that Norn guy tonight!
Largely last night was a calibration stream. I also have a habit of repeating myself, so it could be that, haha!

This post is terriffic, dang.
My favorite bits:
I just love seeing it in writing, that it's true. I mean, we've all known for a loong time, but this is the first time I think they've confirmed it straight.
I'm a sucker for that shit.
Perfection.

Yeah this event...
Got 10 stacks, not wasting my time with it anymore, old rewards are great too! This was obviously aimed to the new players. Which is fine I guess, but it's rather disappointing.

That sylvari from the start of s2 was a soundless. Odds are that they have nothing to protect them from the call.
I'm pretty sure Aerin was soundless and he seemed to be under Mordremoth's influence during LS2. So I'd say the soundless are probably vulnerable, perhaps moreso than those protected by the pale tree.
I don't think it is really meant for new players since looking at the hits i am taking a lvl 25 would get insta gibbed .
How do I get one!
Take part in the event that just started and collect 450 of the tokens. Then go to the vendor in Brisban Wildlands and buy it for 450 tokens and 10g.
