A Banner Week for the Brave and a Quiet Week for the Rest

Week four of Midnight Season One is on the books, and Gizmo Goldscrap is here to read every line.

Welcome back to the ledger. I am Gizmo Goldscrap — Chief Ledger Officer, reluctant accountant of your mediocrity, and the only goblin in Azeroth who will tell you, with precision to one decimal place, exactly how badly you are underperforming. Mythic Mayhem Club's Supreme bracket has been active for four weeks now, and I have seen courage, I have seen cowardice, and I have seen a man spend two days stuck in a dungeon according to his own Raider.IO profile. This week, however, I am pleased to report that the ledger has two very large entries in the black. Two players have punched through every milestone this bracket has to offer and claimed Keystone Legend Supreme. The rest of you, as always, have some explaining to do.

Raiding Update

Fates Reforged has done it. Midnight falls — full heroic clear, and the books are looking healthy. That is not a small thing. A full clear is a full clear, and Gizmo does not hand out gold stars lightly, but consider this one earned. The guild showed up, the boss died, and somewhere in the Midnight archives there is now a receipt with Fates Reforged's name on it.

That said, not everyone was present for the kill night or the achievement run, which means the ledger is not yet fully settled. If you missed it, the debt is still outstanding — and unlike certain goblins I could name, Fates Reforged does not do payment plans. Get in, get the clear, and get your name on the books where it belongs.

Guild Chatter

The Discord this week was, as always, a reliable source of chaos with occasional flashes of insight.

Marty's Raider.IO live tracker decided this week that he had been inside a dungeon for the better part of two days. Gizmo has reviewed the evidence and cannot rule it out. Stormthunder, ever the optimist, offered that the last boss would be dead within two to three business days. The tracker has since corrected itself. Marty's alibi remains unverified.

Faerlina, not content with being the most decorated player in this bracket, attempted to negotiate a four thousand score directly with Picco over at Raider.IO. The proposed currency was not gold. It was not a premium subscription. It was, and the record will reflect this, a testicle. Auri marked the occasion with appropriate ceremony: "And so began the tale of the one testicle monk from Norway." Gizmo does not make the news. Gizmo only reports it.

The raid leading division has developed a nomenclature problem. Neek surfaced the names Tringle and Trimond, which prompted Auri to admit that a significant amount of personal willpower is currently being spent not saying Tringle out loud during pulls. North correctly identified this as Cham's doing. Cham confirmed. Tringle is, apparently, life. Gizmo declines to comment further and will be invoicing Cham for the resulting confusion at standard rates.

In performance news, Neek posted eight hundred and forty-six thousand AOE damage as a Beast Mastery Hunter this week. North, with the economy of someone who has seen everything, noted that BM Hunters spend considerable time petitioning for buffs, and then there is this guy. The petition has been noted and filed accordingly.

Finally, Elyn is in the market for a new headset. The guild's collective wisdom landed on a single piece of advice: do not search for anything with the word gamer in it unless RGB lighting is a personal priority. Marty disclosed that all of his underwear is labelled gamer, which he explained provides RGB illumination during nocturnal navigation. Elyn endorsed the logic immediately, noting that visibility for the nightly trip to the bathroom is, in fact, a legitimate product requirement. Gizmo has added this to the list of conversations that cannot be unexperienced.

The Weekly Rant

Four weeks in. The ledger is open. Let us see who has been working and who has been filing extensions.

Faerlina closed the book this week. All three roles above three thousand. Keystone Legend Supreme — complete. The DPS sits at 3323.1, the tank at 3262.6, and the healer, which began this audit at a barely-registering 324.5, now reads 3010.7. That is not a score. That is a statement. He walked into week four, built an entire healer column from nearly nothing, and walked out a legend. Gizmo does not often say this, but the ledger is satisfied.

Xytrixz joins him. The healer was already secured at 3032.8, but the DPS climbed from 2806.7 to 3055.9, and the tank — the tank went from 1956.7 to 3008.6 in a single week. That is one thousand and fifty-one points of tank rating in seven days. Gizmo has audited this figure three times. It is correct. Keystone Legend Supreme — complete. Two legends in one week. The club has not seen this before, and Gizmo is choosing to acknowledge it without further editorial comment. You have both earned it.

Edvin is running all three accounts simultaneously and somehow keeping the books in order. The DPS ticked up modestly to 3118.9. The tank made a clean jump from 2301.3 to 2617.6. The healer, however, deserves its own line item: 2500.5 to 3215.7. Seven hundred and fifteen points. In a week. Edvin is currently sitting at 95.8% towards Keystone Legend Supreme, with the tank column as the outstanding balance. At this rate, the debt will be settled shortly.

Potatoad is operating the full portfolio and this week the healer account delivered. From 1308.1 to 2621.9 — a gain of thirteen hundred and thirteen points. The DPS and tank moved modestly, 3044.9 and 2651.7 respectively, but it is the healer that demands attention. Potatoad is at 91.9% towards Keystone Legend Supreme. The spreadsheet is nearly complete.

Nyaesa — two roles, both moving. The DPS sits at 3043.6, up a modest 42 points. The healer, however, went from 1970.8 to 3012.8 — a gain of over a thousand. Gizmo notes the tank column remains conspicuously empty. One account is missing. File the paperwork.

Damson moved on two fronts this week. The DPS climbed to 2299.3 and the tank pushed to 2972.2 — that tank number is creeping toward the three thousand threshold with intent. The healer remains a blank line. Two out of three columns is progress. It is not enough to draw praise, but it is enough to avoid the dunce ledger for another week.

Kara had something to say this week, and the scores backed it up. In her own words, she thought it was about time she did something other than sling ice. Gizmo agrees — he has been saying so for weeks, and he is glad the memo was eventually received. The DPS Mage sits at 3420.2, the highest DPS score in this entire bracket. The healer, previously an empty column, now reads 2747. That is a real entry. That is progress. The tank remains at zero, but Gizmo will take the win. For now. Kara and Neek also exchanged words in Discord this week about the inevitable ongoing criticism of their incomplete columns. Neek suggested the roasting would continue until the last week of the season. Kara replied that as long as it happens before the deadline, she does not particularly care. Gizmo respects this philosophy. He also intends to honour it.

Rantheza put up the biggest single-role number this week — DPS from 2228.7 to 2626.6, a gain of nearly four hundred points. That is legitimate work. That is also the entire report on Rantheza's week, because the tank and healer columns remain completely empty. Four hundred points of effort on one character, and two blank lines where the rest of the ledger should be. The maths are not working in your favour, Rantheza.

Marty had a strong week on the DPS side — Paladin climbing from 2116.8 to 2707.5, a gain of nearly six hundred points. That is the kind of movement that gets noticed. What also gets noticed is that the tank column reads 1410.4, the same as it did last week, and the healer column reads 2875.3, the same as it did last week. One account is active. Two are collecting dust. Gizmo suggests a diary reminder.

North pushed the DPS to 3073.1, a gain of 123 points. The tank sits unchanged at 853.2, and the healer column remains empty. The DPS is in fine shape. The rest of the portfolio tells a different story, and North knows it.

Neek registered movement on two lines this week — the DPS Hunter is up to 3175.3, and the healer crept from 583.1 to 710.1. That healer number is technically progress. Gizmo is technically obligated to acknowledge it. The tank column, as Neek himself predicted, remains at zero. The roasting, as agreed, will continue until the deadline.

Epedemik — Four Set Pete — posted a DPS score of 3225.3, up from 3089.5. That is a solid number, and under different circumstances Gizmo might leave it there. These are not different circumstances. The tank column is zero. The healer column is zero. Four Set Pete has one active account and two that have not been opened since registration. The DPS is good. The overall ledger is not.

Moocheteclaw joins Four Set Pete in the single-column club. The DPS Druid climbed from 3041.5 to 3211.2 — nearly a hundred and seventy points of genuine progress. The tank and healer remain unregistered. Moocheteclaw is running one excellent business and leaving two storefronts dark. Gizmo has noted this in the ledger. In permanent ink.

Last Thoughts

Two legendary titles in a single week. Faerlina and Xytrixz have both completed the full ledger — every role, every milestone, every column accounted for. Gizmo has signed off on both. It does not happen often, and it will not be understated: this was a banner week for the Mythic Mayhem Club, and those two names are in the books permanently.

As for the rest of you — the work continues. The season is not over, the ledger is still open, and there is still time to get your accounts in order. That applies to the regulars sitting on empty columns, and it applies equally to anyone reading this who has not yet signed up. It is not too late. It is never too late to start paying into the ledger.

If you are not yet a member of Mythic Mayhem Club, login with your Battle.net account and find the invite code pinned in the Mythic+ channel on our Discord server. Everyone is welcome. The club does not discriminate. It only audits.

Gizmo Goldscrap, signing off. Same time next week.
