Random Things

 * 1) I am ambivalent about contributing to GuildWiki with GWWiki out. GWWiki is official, which is nice, but GuildWiki has a lot more info. But I feel like GuildWiki is going to lose out eventually, due to the "officialness" factor. Right now, I guess I'll sit on the fence a little longer.
 * 2) Summertime! Internet! Maybe I should actually purchase Nightfall...
 * 3) I certainly can't be the only one who is confused by Dark Fury and Dark Aura.
 * 4) I swear that every time I go to the Fissure of Woe with Danika, one of the two or three monks ALWAYS leaves, leaving me to tend to the party, hopefully with a battery. Ultimately, it usually winds down to 5 or 6 people. On the bright side, I tend to be fairly lucky in drops and average about 4 shards each time, usually 2 or 3 more than most of the party.
