Here’s another example why.

You have logged on.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] haha yea right, your being sarcastic again

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] drat, i’ve been caught.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi pwn

[Guild][Bob] Hey OmgipwneduMon!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey boss

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Greetings, dear Warchief.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] is your connection any better pwn?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I guess we’ll find out in a minute

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol

You have been disconnected.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] UGH

[Guild][Bob] Leslie! Do it again, mon!

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] WB PWN

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i didnt do anything!

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I take it your connection is none too improved since last time, Warchief?

[Guild][Bob] You put da connection voodoo on him, mon!

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: still using the network grizzle set up for you?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, apparently

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Also that Bob guy is rubbing me the wrong way already

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Yeah

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] On the topic of what you’ve been doing, Leslie, has work continued to be hectic?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] He’d better watch it before I end up stabbing him in the neck

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: honestly, you might as well hire a couple extra tauren to send up smoke signals for your wifi

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You were starting to say, but ended up being sidetracked by ProfHubert.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Speaking of me stabbing people, by the way, did you manage to get Lori straightened out?

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] BTW COULD I GET A GUILD INVITE FOR MY FRIEND

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] sure puff, just whisper me the name

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] ugh not really

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If you’re referring to leadership of the guild, I think I’ve convinced him to be reasonable and pass it back

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] He was quite agitated before.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You know, not for anything, but didn’t we used to ask people to APPLY to this guild once upon a time?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] does it really matter?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] just some office politics i’m trying to stay out of mostly

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I don’t particularly care about his moods

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] does anyone in this guild actually do anything other than sit around in guild chat?

You have been disconnected.

You have logged on.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] there you go! welcome to the guild!

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] in point of fact, that’s not actually specific to in-game.

[Guild][LivingRedGirl] Thank you all

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] wb pwn

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So as I was saying. I don’t care if Ponytail is happy about it as long as he manages to get his panties unbunched long enough to hand over guild control

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Garrosh was just on and will likely be back momentarily, so please try to humor him.

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Oh and by the way

[Officer][Lorthemar] Hello, Garrosh…

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh drat. Two seconds too slow hitting return.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh Oh and LOOK who’s here now

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh goodness, LivingRedGirl, you look almost just like me!

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Do you want to explain to me why I never heard a word from you about the whole Mokvar fiasco?

[Guild][LivingRedGirl] Haha looks like it yes

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: um

[Officer][Lorthemar] Good evening, Warchief.

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: YES UM

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] At any rate, Leslie…

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, yeah, good evening, good morning, happy new year, whatever

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: I guess I figured you were already getting updates from people more important than me

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I know office politics can be precarious, Leslie. I’m not unfamiliar with them myself.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Are you ready to stop fucking around and put me back in place as guild leader?

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: and I was probably still hoping there would be some explanation for everything

[Officer][Lorthemar] While I still have my objections to the way you’ve been conducting yourself toward me and my people, Garrosh…

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: At this point I don’t particularly CARE about why

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] mostly just a coworker trying to drag me into his conflicts

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Or am I going to have to smack a bitch up first?

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: look, I understand why you’re doing what you’re doing

[Officer][Lorthemar] …case in point.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The bitch being you, by the way

[Officer][Lorthemar] *sigh*

[Officer][Lorthemar] In any case…I don’t want to hurt the guild over our personal squabbles.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Ah, interesting…

[Officer][Lorthemar] So, yes, here.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: with the mokvar thing

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has been promoted to the rank Guild Leader.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: it’s just hard for me to accept a friend going off the deep end, is all

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] GRATS PWN

You have been disconnected.

You have logged on.

[Guild][MrBadCrumble | Spazzle] bye prof

[ProfHubert | Faranell] has logged off.

[Guild][Bob] Welcome back, mon! We missed ya!

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] WB AGAIN PWN

[Guild][LivingRedGirl] Welcome back Omgipwnedurface

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] UGH UGH UGH

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] wish I could do something to fix it, chief

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, I know

[Lorthemar] whispered: Now that we’ve settled the guild issue, Warchief…

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] but I think you may be kind of stuck with it until you get back or orgrimmar

[Lorthemar] whispered: Well…can we talk man to man?

You whispered to [Lorthemar]: Yeah okay

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] In all honesty, Warchief, the fact that you’re having such connection difficulties at the moment may be a reason not to resume control of the guild just yet…

[Lorthemar] whispered: Well, concerning the goings-on in Pandaria…

You whispered to [Lorthemar]: Actually, I don’t know. CAN we?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m not sure there’s much to be gained from a guild leader who’s unable to be online to tend to the responsibilities of leadership.

[Lorthemar] whispered: …

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, I hate to say it, but you might have a point

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And frankly it’s getting way too annoying trying to stay on

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I can well imagine.

[Lorthemar] whispered: Never mind.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So yeah, let me do this

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] has been promoted to the rank Guild Leader.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] GRATS MRBADCRUMBLE

[Guild][Bob] Hey, grats, mon!

You whispered to [Lorthemar]: Whatever, Lori

[Guild][LivingRedGirl] Does leadership always change hands so often in the guild

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whoa seriously?

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] NOT REALLY

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] He already has control of the web site and he’s got the best handle on all the nuts and bolts

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] WELL MAYBE LATELY YEAH

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So just as well to let him mind the shop for now

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] A wise decision, of course, sir.

[Officer][Lorthemar] Congratulations, Spazzle.

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Also because, even with the Mokvar thing, you’re the only one of these clowns I actually trust

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] thanks lor

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, so…

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispers: thanks chief

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m going to empty my mail just in case, and then log off here before something else pisses me off

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Of course, sir.

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: And I get why you kept quiet

[Guild][LivingRedGirl] It’s gotten quiet

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: But let me make this clear

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] THAT USUALLY MEANS THE OFFICERS ARE TALKING

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Mokvar is dead to me

[Guild][LivingRedGirl] Oh

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: And if I ever find out where he’s run off to, he’s a dead man

[Guild][Lorthemar] I know it can be a bit unnerving.

You whispered to [MrBadCrumble | Spazzle] Anyway…later

[Guild][Lorthemar] I wasn’t sure what to make of it myself when I first joined the guild.

You have logged off.

 

Mutiny!

earthonline9

Since we finished with Shan Kien a few days ago, I’ve been back at Domination Point, partly checking in on things there with Warlord Bloodhilt and General Nazgrim, and partly giving myself a break from Baine and Lor’themotherfucker. Maybe if I leave them alone with each other, they’ll have no option but to bitch and moan at each other until one of them reaches bitch-and-moan critical mass and spontaneously combusts. Not likely, I know, but it’s a little dream I have.

As part of my much-needed recuperation time, I finally managed to get Earth Online set up on my computer here. The internet here at the base is still kind of spotty – I’ve been having to pick my spots as far as when I can blog for the entire time I’ve been here – but Grizzle Gearslip tells me the connection should be stable enough now that I shouldn’t have any trouble getting some gaming in.

 

You have logged on.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] what about blurry vision? slurred speech?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] oh hey

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well well, look who we have here!

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] no

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] it’s probably not one of ours, then.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I hope you feel better, ji

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey people

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You sense of humor is, as always, most amusing, Doctor.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] anyway, does anyone have a level 30 something they’d like to team up with?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] But you should be wary of making such jokes, as they may only encourage some to believe we’re actually pursuing such untoward efforts as the creation of plague.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] actually never mind, i should probably get going

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] see you later, ji

[EdwardBear | Ji] has logged off.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] yeah, i can’t imagine where anyone would get that idea about us.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: has garona gotten there yet?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Huh this is weird…

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] What is, Warchief?

You have been disconnected.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] do you think he got mad and logged?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] oh hey, Garrosh

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] welcome back.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well, I suppose we’ll see presently, won’t we.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Ugh

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Thanks, Doc

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: did you see my tell?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Is everything all right, Garrosh?

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Yeah

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: I just didn’t get a chance to answer

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I think so

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] what happened?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m not sure, my connection just went out on me

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well, hopefully it was an isolated hiccup and won’t continue causing you problems.

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: But no, she didn’t get here yet

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: ah ok

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, hopefully

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Why?

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: just curious

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So anyway, as I was saying

You have been disconnected.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] thanks baddie

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You two are well, I hope.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] PRETTY GOOD THANKS

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] re-wb

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And back again.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi pwn

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] same problem, boss?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] havent seen u in a while

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Pretty much

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Just getting knocked offline randomly

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Quite frustrating, I’m sure.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, I’ve been traveling for work, so I haven’t been able to log on until now

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: what kind of internet connection do you have there?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] yea i know how that goes

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i’ve been having to travel around some for work too

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: If you’re looking for something more specific than “apparently a bad one,” you’re talking to the wrong guy

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: hmm

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So anyway

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] How interesting, Leslie. Anything specific you’re working on these days?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Did they change something in the guild management panel?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m sure the details would be fascinating.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: at the bottom of your UI, mouse over the icon that looks like a little planet

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: that will show your network info

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Not that I’m aware of.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Why do you ask?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol your always so interested in my work

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] oh boy…

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Okay, I’ve got it

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m just curious about people’s professional experiences. ^_^

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m showing a lot fewer guild management options than I used to

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So I’m wondering if they changed something

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: ok, at the very bottom of that info box there should be a string of numbers and letters

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol well theres alot going on here but alot of it i cant really talk about

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: copy that to me

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well, no. Perhaps you should peruse the guild roster a moment.

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]:  Hmm, okay…give me a minute…

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] here we go…

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh but those are the most interesting ones to chat about under the anonymity afforded by the internet.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] well, you’ve established you work in Dalaran.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] well yes

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hang on, I’m juggling a couple things

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] if it involves magic research i could probably save you some time finding the tomes you need.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] HOW DO YOU FIGURE

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: THX1138-NCC1701-PU36

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: oh man

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] well, based on our conversation the other day, I probably know your libraries a bit better than you.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: who set up your connection down there?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] your serious

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] my serious what?

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Grizzle Gearslip

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Why? How bad is it?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] no, ‘your serious’ is a question

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, guild roster

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] no, “you’re serious?” is a question.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] “your serious” is an incomplete noun phrase.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Um.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: ugh… he’s good with mining and construction

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] …

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Just exactly

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] WHAT

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] THE FUCK

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] IS THIS?

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: but for networking he might as well be trying to put something together with one of those electronics kits from the wonderworks

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] if you don’t want my help, you can just say no.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] What is what, pray tell?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] HOW exactly is it showing SYLVANAS as guild leader???

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hoo boy…

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well, there *are* in-game mechanisms for such things.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] When the current leader is offline for a prolonged period. ^_^

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You fucking OVERTHREW me?!?!

You have been disconnected.

.

You have logged on.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I don’t think he would jsut rage quit

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Ah, here he is.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] wb pwn

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] looks like you’re having connection trouble

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay so AS I WAS SAYING

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You OVERTHREW me??!

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: can’t say I’m surprised you’re having trouble staying on

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You could say that, yeah

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] ^_^

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: So…it’s bad.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: let me put it this way

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And hey, hold on, she couldn’t even have DONE this without another officer, so that means either you or Mokvar, Spazzle

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: congratulations, the base hasn’t burned down yet

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] um, well…

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] What’s going on with Mokvar now, anyway?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] It’s funny you should ask, Warchief.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] so yeah staying on topic

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I was the one who signed off on the dethrone

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I…see

You whispered to [ProfHubert | Faranell]: Fucking hell is THIS what you were talking about???

[ProfHubert | Faranell] whispered: um, what?

You whispered to [ProfHubert | Faranell]: With the “they’re going to turn against you” cryptic bullshit

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] well to be fair, boss, you’d been away for a while and there was no telling when you’d be able to get on again

[ProfHubert | Faranell] whispered: you realize that was another version of me whose memories i don’t share, right?

You whispered to [ProfHubert | Faranell]: UGH FUCKING TIME TRAVEL

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] and your connection right now isn’t exactly helping

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah yeah whatever

[ProfHubert | Faranell] whispered: fucking time travel indeed.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You people have had your fun, now reinstall me before I get on a boat headed north

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh, very well, Warchief.  If you insist.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I seriously don’t know what the fuck is wrong with people, I look away for a minute and everything turns into a fucking cartoon

[Lorthemar] has logged on.

[Lorthemar] has been promoted to Guild Leader.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] …

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oops.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] YOU’RE FUCKING RIGHT OOPS

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] grats lorthemar!

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] oh this should be good.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That honestly was a legitimate mistake. Albeit a funny one.

[Guild][Lorthemar] Oh…wow…really?

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] CONGRATS ON THE PROMOTION LOR

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I was about to click on you to promote you when Lor’themar logged on.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i will bet you any amount of money you’re not the only person saying “wow, really?” right now.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And, well, his character name is right ahead of yours alphabetically.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] So…he bumped you down one spot on the guild list, and…

[Guild][Lorthemar] Well…thank you, guildmates!

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] are you seeing this, lor?

[Guild][Lorthemar] This is truly an unexpected honor

[Guild][Lorthemar] But one for which I shall endeavor to prove my worthiness!

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] yay lor!

[Guild][Lorthemar] I really don’t know what else to say!

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i know you’ll make a good guild leader =)

[Guild][Lorthemar] Thank you!

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] guess not

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] He probably doesn’t realize he has to turn on officer chat.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay so seriously

[Guild][Lorthemar] Oh, hello, Omgipwnedurface.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah probably

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, hello

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So before you get speechifying again, Livindead just made a mistake handing you the reins

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So before you get too excited

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oh yikes

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hand them back over

[Guild][Lorthemar] Oh.

[Guild][Lorthemar] Well, I suppose LivinDeadGrl DOES have more experience as an officer.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] NOT TO HER YOU FUCKING WASTE OF SPACE

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] PROMOTE -ME-

[Guild][Lorthemar] Fine, fine, let me find where the command is…

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] does anyone know if there’s a popcorn vendor anywhere in game?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Well FIND IT FAST LORI

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] WHILE YOU STILL HAVE ONE EYE TO LOOK WITH

[Guild][Lorthemar] I’m working on it, calm down…

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] what are u looking for sweetie?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh fuck you, Hair-Care

[Guild][Lorthemar] Huh.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] WHAT? I’M NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING

[Guild][Lorthemar] You know what?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oops sorry, that was pwn

[Guild][Lorthemar] No.

[Guild][Lorthemar] Fuck YOU.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i thought it was u typing there

You have been kicked out of the guild.

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: jkhfgkjshgfkjysdgkfiuhsdfjkghskgf

You whispered to [Lorthemar]: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: I know, I know

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] whispered: My apologies, Warchief.

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] whispered: I’m trying to calm Lor’themar down now.

[Lorthemar] whispered: Fuck you, Garrosh

[Proudleslie | Jaina] whispered: omg what happened?

You whispered to [Lorthemar]: Oh you REALLY want to die, don’t you

[Lorthemar] is ignoring you.

You whispered to [LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas]: Well now he’s ignoring me

You whispered to [LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas]: So you can tell him to stop being such a tempermental baby while you’re at it

You whispered to [Proudleslie | Jaina]: Don’t even get me started

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] whispered: Of course, sir.

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: yeah, he’s pretty upset

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whispered: I don’t know what we’re going to do about GL, but I can invite you back to the guild at least

You whispered to [MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]: Oh gee thanks

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ll get you all for this

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] No

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] um

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Nice to meet you

[Guild][Bob] Good ta meet ya too, OmgipwneduMon!

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] But for now… I’m going to log off before this vein in my forehead bursts

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] quick recommendation, boss?

You whispered to [LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas]: You GET his ass in line, you understand me?

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] whispered: Of course, dear Warchief.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] next time you log on, if you think you smell burning hair, turn off your computer

[Guild][Bob] So I got a question if anybody knows.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Fine

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] For the duration, Lor’themar, you might want to change the GL title from what I’d set it as.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Taking off now

[Guild][Bob] If da Lich King’s horse be Invincible, how come I could see it?

[Officer][Lorthemar] What’s the title now?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] “Queen.”

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] no no, thats invisible

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] oh man, good thing Garrosh is leaving

You have logged off.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i’m pretty sure ur wrong

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] hi mrbad

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] I’LL GO GET MY COPY SO WE CAN CHECK

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i’m quite sure i’m not.

[Guild][Lor’themar] Greetings, MrBadcrumble!

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: hey ji – you feeling ok?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] no sweetie u dont have to

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi MBC

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Ah, Spazzle, I’m glad to see you on. I’d like to discuss something with you when you have a free moment.

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: yes, i think i’ll be ok

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey everyone

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: have you heard anything about mokvar?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] ugh well now hes flown off

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: not a thing

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: just a little sore.

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: why?  is there news?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] sure

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oh hi baddie i didnt see u come on

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] do we have more IPs to trace or something?

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: well that’s good

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] No no, nothing quite so technical.

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: not that I know of

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] how’s it going, leslie?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] not bad

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] huh, really?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] same ol same ol really

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: well if you need anything let me know

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You sound surprised.

[LamontCranston] whispered: Hi there.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] well, after a while you kind of get used to it when people only want to talk to you because they can’t get their printer to work

You whispered to [LamontCranston] hi

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] OK HERE WE GO

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] SHERMAN’S CODEX RIGHT?

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: at this point I don’t think anything would surprise me, though

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] True… I suppose it comes with being one of the few tech literates in the cohort.

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: I know, right?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] what are you guys doing?

[LamontCranston] whispered: Are you busy?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] volume 2, yes.

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: honestly I don’t understand what Mokvar could be thinking

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] THERES A VOLUME 2?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] you get used it mostly

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: a little

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: were you interested in the guild?

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: that’s the thing, though

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: thanks, i will

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] sorry if I’m slow

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] prof here is trying to tell me there’s teleportation magic that would let someone blink all the way to other worlds

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] trying to juggle a bunch of tells

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh I can sympathize.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] not that there ARE such spells, just that there’s a theoretical basis for them being possible, based on the distorted curvature of space surrounding high velocity blinking.

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: what is?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] and now we’re going to look it up and prove him wrong

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m fielding quite a few myself. Mostly from Lor’themar…I could swear, no sooner do I click back over to officer chat than his whisper tab lights up again.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] what’s going on?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] once we get volume 2…

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] it should be on the shelf below where you got that one.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Something or other with Garrosh and his demands. I’m not sure exactly.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] faded, dark red cover.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] fourth book from the left.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] OK ON IT BRB

[LamontCranston] whispered: No, Spaz, it’s me.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] how do u know that?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] don’t let me interrupt if you’re talking to him

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i have a very good memory.

[LamontCranston] whispered: Mokvar.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] wait, how are you not sure if he’s going on and on about it?

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: dksjghksdyhgd

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: for him to do all these things he’s been doing… killing the dwarf in ironforge, the deal with magatha, everything…

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: KNOWING I was watching him .. and I know he knew…

[EdwardBear | Ji] has logged off.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] No, it’s fine. I’m really just tabbing over every few lines and giving him a “right” or an “I can see how that would be frustrating” or an “I don’t blame you at all for being upset.”

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: he would have to be an idiot

[LamontCranston] whispered: Now before you go tabbing over to do an IP trace, I’m routing through a proxy server to log on.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] huh

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] isn’t that kind of risky?

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: and if there’s one thing we both know about mokvar, its that he’s not an idiot

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] OK NOW WE’RE IN BUSINESS

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: yeah

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: no kidding

You whispered to [Nightengayle | Garona]: 1 sec

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] you have volume 2?

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: kk

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] yea

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I mean, how do you know what he just said was about being upset and frustrated?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’ve known Lor’themar a long time.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] now i just have to find the part about long-distance blinking

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: hang on, since when do YOU know how to mask IPs??

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: and are you crazy?  what the hell are you doing??

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] page 273.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] WOW REALLY?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] ok looking, hang on

[LamontCranston] whispered: Deliana called in a couple favors to set it up.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] right-hand column.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] under the diagram.

[LamontCranston] whispered: I just needed to get on for a minute to talk to you.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] HOW DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] like i said, i have a good memory.

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: mokvar, you have to be careful – garona’s on and she was JUST asking about you

[LamontCranston] whispered: I saw her on. I whispered her with a dollar-spam ad and got her auto-ignore.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] sorry i’m going all quiet – trying to fix a bunch of things here

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] ok here we go, see it says it wouldn’t work

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] “blinking beyond azerothian gravitational bounds would prove impractical due to drag produced by the blinking subject’s carried mass.”

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] blinking beyond azerothian gravity would be impractical

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: hey spazzle, I know you’re probably still busy there

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Quite all right. As it happens, Lor’themar is growing needy even by Lor’themarian standards. I’m finding myself having to pay attention to some of his prattling.

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: I need to get going

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: what are you even doing on here?

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: I’m leaving for pandaria in the morning and I need to finish packing

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] right.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] is he still upset?

[Nightengayle | Garona] whispered: I’ll talk to you later

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] keep reading.

[LamontCranston] whispered: Like I said, I wanted to talk to you.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Insofar as he hasn’t spontaneously ceased to be Lor’themar, yes.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oh

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] OH

[LamontCranston] whispered: I only have a minute, though.

[Nightengayle | Garona] has logged off.

You whispered to [LamontCranston]: ok…

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] “this obstacle could in theory be overcome by a dispersion of the grounding mass along the blinking vector via a highly concentrated arcane field”

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oh…wow

[LamontCranston] whispered: You’re on the short list of people I feel like I can trust, and like I said, I need to talk to you.

[LamontCranston] whispered: But not here.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] which yes, we don’t know how to do yet.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] but we’re talking theory here.

[LamontCranston] whispered: Meet me in Everlook in two days.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] that’s really impressive you knew that

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i read a lot.

User is not logged on.

User is not logged on.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] yea but sherman’s codex volume 2?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] that would be so far down on my reading list i would probably never get to it

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] actually, I need to get off of here for a little while

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] heh, kids.  ;o)

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I know you wanted to talk to me about something – can we catch up later?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That’s fine.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] HEY I’M THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If it’s easier, I can e-mail you about it as well.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] ok, sounds good

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] yes, and?

Spazzle Speaks: Guild Chat Edition

earthonline3

Hi, everyone. Spazzle here. Since Mokvar and I will be sharing blogging duties with Garrosh on his way to Pandaria, I’m taking my turn today updating everyone on what’s going on in Orgrimmar.

And/or Earth:

 

You have logged on.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Are you sure you’re not Utvoch, Dontrag?

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no i’m dontrag

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i could swear we’ve talked about this before

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Because I feel fairly sure that you’re Dontrag, Utvoch.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey, Spaz.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] again?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] really?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I know, I know, but honestly, it just never gets old! ^_^

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i really dont think so

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i’m utvoch, he’s dontrag

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Perhaps we should refer to a third party to resolve the disagreement? Who is your commanding officer over in Kalimdor?

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] cliffwalker

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] overlord cliffwalker

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Perhaps you should speak to him and ask him to confirm which of you is which.

[EdwardBear | Ji] has logged on.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] huh maybe

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] we dont need to do that, he’s jsut going to say what we’re telling you now

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no not maybe ut UGH

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey Ji

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well you won’t know until you ask him, now will you?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] hi mokvar

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] you know maybe she has a point

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i’ll go find him

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no ut u idiot dont listen to her

[SteveKravitz | Utvoch] has logged off.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] oh dammit

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] feeling ok?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah, I’m fine.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Personally, that only supports my original point.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] what does

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] You are having entirely too much fun with this.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That he left to find Overlord Cliffwalker just now.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] y

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I really am. ^_^

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh, watch this.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] b

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] what does b mean

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I believe B is the second letter of the alphabet.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] by the way, has garona been on lately?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Although, since Mokvar is the scribe here, perhaps you should confirm with him.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i got one of those rooster pets she was trying to farm

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no i know its a letter

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Huzzah, the spirit of literacy liveth!

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] what spirit

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] like a ghost or something

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] she IS the banshee queen

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] maybe it’s someone over in the undercity

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well well look at our quiet little webmaster coming out of his shell! ^_^

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] 😉

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well I’ll see you and raise you…

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Edward, I don’t remember seeing Garona on for a couple days

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] It’s actually the nickname of the phantasm who’s our assistant inscription trainer here.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] She might just be logging on at odd hours.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] maybe garrosh should have had them come audition for the temp scribe job

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oooh, trumped by the goblin!

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i’m confused

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And all is right with the world.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I’m showing nightengayle’s last login four days ago

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] um ok

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no but like

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ya i know b is a letter

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] but what did u say it for?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well, you said “y”.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] um ok

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You did. You can scroll up and check if you don’t believe me.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh ok … well hopefully i’ll catch her on soon to give it to her

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] I will bet you 1000 gold he’s scrolling up right now.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I said it supported my point that Dontrag left to go talk to Overlord Cliffwalker, and you said “y”.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ya ok i see that

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And so I said “b”.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ya but how come?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well, I just assumed we were typing random letters. Is that not how this works?

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] oh

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no that was y like in why

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh. Are your “w” and “h” keys not working?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Maybe Spazzle could have a look at them for you.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Ed, you could always just mail it to her for whenever she logs on, that was you don’t have to be watching for her.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no my keyboard is ok

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] it saves time

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh, were you in a hurry?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Are you going somewhere?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] To go find Overlord Cliffwalker, perhaps?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh wow really?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] there’s mail?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Do you craft this stuff beforehand or are you just making it up on the fly?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Because honestly, I’m not sure which one would make you more of a genius.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Um

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah ed – you never noticed the post offices in each city?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah there is.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] What’s sad is that there’s actually a whole extra layer to this that he’s never going to get to on his own.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh… oh wow.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no its just faster

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] haha yea

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] I mean, granted he’s very new to the game.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That poor, poor, adorably clueless little bear…

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i guess i never looked inside those to see what they were for

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Ah, I see. Hurry up and wait.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] wait for what?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yea but he’s level 27

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah, Ed, if you go in there you can send things to other people in-game.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Just like in real life, only it takes a couple days rather than an hour to deliver, for some reason.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Perhaps for Dontrag to return and confirm that it is in fact you who is Utvoch.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i’m not utvoch

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] So you say.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ya so i say cuz i am

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i mean i’m not

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] not utvoch

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’ll go ahead and nudge him through; I don’t want to leave this other part on the shelf, and he’s never going to get to it by himself.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] But as I was saying, the fact that Dontrag went to talk to Overlord Cliffwalker just confirms that I’m right.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] y

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] q

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] g

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] w

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i mean why

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] hey are u guys messing with me now

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] y would you think that?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Because, between Dontrag and Utvoch, Dontrag has always been the more circumspect, so if one of you were going to make the effort to seek confirmation on this question, it would be Dontrag.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] but i’m dontrag

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Then why aren’t you checking on this with Overlord Cliffwalker?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If you -are- Dontrag, let me say in no uncertain terms, you’re being out-Dontragged.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ok fine then

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i’ll go ask him

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] and watch what he says

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] by the way, mokvar, did you still want to leave this afternoon

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I only wish I could be there with you when you ask him.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ya me too

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] anyway whatever

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] If that works for you, Ed, sure.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] be back later

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] where are you guys going?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Goodbye, Utvoch.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] later ut

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] See you later, Utvoch.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ugh

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] fuck it

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] we’re going to take a trip to winterspring, spazzle

[GilbertRose | Dontrag] has logged off.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] what are you going to be doing up there?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Not for anything, but we probably want to be more careful about using real names in guild chat anyway.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] You know, in case you-know-whos 1 or 2 come on.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] there’s a place called timbermaw hold

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] mokvar says there’s a race there that seems similar to the pandaren

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I don’t know if it’s a case of “or”

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I don’t think I’ve ever seen just one of them on

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] so he’s taking me to visit so i can see if we might have some common ancestry

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] oh yeah, the furbolg

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] True, Mokvar, although everyone seems to be fairly aware of it when Jaina and Kalecgos are around.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh, so they’re one of THOSE couples…

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] come to think of it

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] would you like to come?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i think we’re stopping at a goblin town on the way, aren’t we, mokvar?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Everlook, yeah.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] so you know them up there, spazzle?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] oh so all us goblins must know each other huh?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] kinda racist

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] um

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i mean

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] kidding

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] whew

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Someone’s feeling lively today.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] I’m sure Spazzle’s got his own stuff to do anyway, Ed.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] kind of a shame garrosh is missing out on the trip to timbermaw hold, though

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] because of the archbishop thing

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh yeah, that’s right.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Pardon?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] There’s some little-known technicality with the Timbermaw furbolgs.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whoever’s warchief, they consider an archbishop

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m…fairly sure I’m better off not knowing how that happened.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] so yeah, he probably would have wanted to go

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Still, just as well I suppose.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Although it IS kind of a shame we have to miss seeing him in the funny hat.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] speaking of which, has anyone heard anything from garrosh yet?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Not me.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Nor I. I would imagine he’s still in transit.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] They were saying a couple days’ trip, but I got the sense they were being optimistic about the weather.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] ah ok

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Let me check something, actually.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I will say, it’s been much quieter in guild chat since he’s been away.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Ed, when you came up from Pandaria, how long did the flight take?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] With a precipitous decrease in the amount of typing in caps.

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] has logged on.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] hi puff

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And as if in response. Well played, universe.

[Proudleslie | Jaina] has logged on.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] bartleby, it was a little under two days

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey honaleepuff

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey leslie

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] HELLO EVERYONE

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Ah, okay. And that was flying. By sea would be longer, I would figure.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi mbc

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Greetings, you two. Your logins are getting more and more tightly timed.

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] WE HAVE OUR COMPUTERS SET UP IN THE SAME ROOM NOW

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] flying from where?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] How charmingly codependent.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] pandaria

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] we were just trying to ballpark how long it takes to get there

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oh wow small world

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] my friend is on his way there now

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh really, Leslie? Business or pleasure?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] business mostly lol

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] his son is down there too though so i guess he’s looking forward to meeting up

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] uh oh

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] am i guessing right?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah. And…oh no.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] How interesting, Leslie. What’s his son doing down there, if I might inquire? And whereabouts, as far as you’re aware?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i’m not sure really

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] last i heard he was trying to work on his studies with some of the locals

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] How industrious.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m sure there’s much for him to learn there.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol if he doesnt get himself in to much trouble

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh, what could he do there to get into trouble?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hehe

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] anyway i get the feeling garrosh is going to want me doing some e-sleuthing when he hears about this

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] so i should get start working on something i can tell him

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] No, really. Do you have any thoughts on possible examples? I’m just curious about such things.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] See you later, Spaz.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] For my nephew, that is.

You have logged off.

 

Sure, fine, as far as informational blog posts go, this is kind of cheating. At least I’m not subjecting everyone to bad poetry!

 

Ragequitters never win

earthonline2

You have logged on.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] well that’s the problem with arcane, though.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] for me anyway.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] how you u mean?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi pwn

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey, boss.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey everyone

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] well basically it’s just that since the magic isn’t strictly -alive-, it doesn’t read tone very well.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] ?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi pwn

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] so i have to be careful what i say, because the magic tends to take sarcasm literally.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] well i mean, why wouldnt it?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] What did I just walk in on?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Or do I not want to know?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] This one is pretty harmless.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Edwin and Jaina are deep into magic shop talk.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Ah

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] how are you doing, pwn?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] well i tend to rely pretty heavily on sarcasm in my day-to-day communication.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Doing okay, gayle

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] hello omgipwnedurface.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] yeah, pretty much any time he says something, you want to picture him rolling his eyes

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] good to see you as always.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] see, case in point.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oh lol

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] well that might be hard since i dont know what u look like

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] probably just as well.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i haven’t aged well.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol its ok i like older guys =)

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh i remember that phase

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] HEY NOW

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] NO FLIRTING WITH OTHER MEN!

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol dont worry sweetie

[Lorthemar] has logged on.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi lorthemar

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] JUST KIDDING

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] I KNOW YOU’RE NOT LIKE THAT LOL

[Guild][Lorthemar] Greetings, all.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Wow…you know, part of me wants to make a Jaina joke there

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] but mostly I’m just thinking…that poor dragon

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey, Lorthemar.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi lor

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] I still say scalies just creep me out.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] are you new in the guild?

[Guild][Lorthemar] No.

[Guild][Lorthemar] sigh

[Guild][Lorthemar] Why does everyone keep asking me that? I’ve been in the guild for months.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] oh ok

[Guild][Lorthemar] I don’t understand why people can’t remember who I am.

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] has earned the achievement [Q’est-ce Que C’est]

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] has earned the achievement [United Nations]!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] grats BQ!

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] grats

[Guild][Lorthemar] Congratulations!

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Thank you, all. ^_^

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Wait, you got the United Nations achievement?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] unless the game ui is trying to pull a fast one on you.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Indeed!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Exalted with EVERY national faction? HOW?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Admittedly, that last rep grind was particularly onerous.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Which one?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] France.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh geez yeah

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The French don’t like anybody

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Not so; they’re quite fond of me now.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh actually, let me take care of this while I’m thinking of it

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] What’s that?

[EdwardBear | Ji] has joined the guild.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] welcome!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] welcome ed

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Who’s this now?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Ji Firepaw

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] He overheard me talking about the game with Spazzle a couple days ago and got curious

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Ah…well this should be entertaining.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] How are the new pandaren recruits working out so far, Warchief?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Eh…sort of a mixed bag

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] They mean well, but…I don’t know. We’ll see

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] brb

[Guild][Lorthemar] Welcome to the guild!

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] So I’m guessing he’s REALLY newbish.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, he’s going to be pretty green

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Speaking of which

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] he seems quiet.

[GilbertRose | Dontrag] has logged on.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi gil

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Edward, type /g to talk in guild chat

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Hello, Utvoch.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] can you see this?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] ah there we are

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no this is dontrag

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Welcome aboard, Ed.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Greetings, Edward.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Is this your first time logging onto Earth Online in general?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And, are you sure, Utvoch? I could swear you were Utvoch, Dontrag.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] no, i logged on for a little while last night

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] it looks fun

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] yes i’m sure

[Guild][Lorthemar] Oh, so this is your first Earth Online character?

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] we’ve talked about this before

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] yes

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well if you’re so sure about it, I don’t see why we would have had to discuss it repeatedly.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] But if you insist, I suppose I’ll take your word on being Dontrag, Utvoch.

[Guild][Lorthemar] A double welcome to you, then!

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] thank you

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] ok good

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] are you new too?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You really love messing with him, don’t you?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Why yes. Yes I do.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Whichever one of them he actually is.

[Guild][Lorthemar] sigh

[Guild][Lorthemar] No, I’m not.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Can you blame me, really?

[Guild][Lorthemar] I’m not new.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] are you sure your not new lor?

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag]   dont think i’ve seen you on before

[Guild][Lorthemar] Yes I’m sure.

[Guild][Lorthemar] I’m not new, for the hundredth time.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] well of course you’re not new for the hundredth time. that wouldn’t be new.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] you can only be new once.

[Guild][Lorthemar] …

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] what class are you playing ed?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Just say the word if you need any help with anything, Edward.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] I know some things can be a little confusing at first.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] a farmer

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Hmm, I’ve never played one of those.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] they don’t really sound too exciting to play

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh hey, I’ve got my Refer-a-Friend pet now

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] What kind?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You should have gotten one too, Edward

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] A dog

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] don’t you already have one?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] how do i get it?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, but the RAF is a random draw from a bunch of breeds

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] There are a lot of different breeds.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] You already have it, Edward.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So for instance, this one I just got is a cocker spaniel

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] If you go to the bottom of your screen, you can open your pet catalog.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] omg i love the new pet sparring!

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] ok

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh there it is

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] what kind did you get?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] how can i see the details?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Right click on it.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] anyway we should get going, we have lunch plans

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] bye leslie

[Guild][Lorthemar] Eat well!

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] BYE EVERYONE

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] byeeeee

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] ok i think i see it now

[Proudleslie | Jaina] has logged off.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] What’s the verdict?

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] has logged off.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] it says it’s called a poodle

[Guild][Lorthemar] You can name it, too, if you want to.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Those are those fru-fru looking dogs, right?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] they’re supposed to be smart

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] how do i do that?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] you mean they make good spellcasters? or the coders gave them a slightly less nonsensical AI?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Right click again, then pick “rename.”

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] ok

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] thank you

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] No problem.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] By the way, Garrosh, did you ever end up talking to the orphanage about Gurtash?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, I put out a few feelers

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Gurtash is that orphan boy who’s been helping take care of the Warchief’s wyvern?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Garrosh was thinking of maybe seeing about adopting him.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] ok done

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] done what?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That’s…that’s remarkable.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Right now Battlewail has me in a holding pattern. Something about questions about my temperament

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i named the pet

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh nice

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] A preposterous dispersion against your character, Warchief.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So there’s some meeting they want me to go to with Social Services later this week

[SteveKravitz | Utvoch] has logged on.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi steve

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] hey

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hang on…we have a Department of Social Services?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Who knew, right?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That -had- to have been a Thrall program.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah, I mean…where the hell have THEY been?

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] hi guys

[Guild][Lorthemar] So what did you end up naming the pet, Edward?

[Guild][Lorthemar] Greetings, Steve!

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i named her winnie

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, I know

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] sup man

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Not sure what the deal is with the meeting, but I guess some of the pandas are involved somehow

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] after my aunt, jae win

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] she had similarly poofy hair

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] not too much

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, not too clear about any more than that

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh actually

[Guild][Lorthemar] That works.

[Guild][Lorthemar] Winnie the poodle has a certain ring to it.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] thanks

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] oh hey who’s the new guy?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey Ji, quick question

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i just joined the guild today

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] nice to meet you

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] no not you

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] yes warchief? i mean guildmaster

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i meant the other new guy

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] lorthemar

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You might know something about this

[Guild][Lorthemar] ugh

[Guild][Lorthemar] Okay, SERIOUSLY

[Guild][Lorthemar] Enough is enough already.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] ?

[Guild][Lorthemar] Oh sure, “?” at me

[Guild][Lorthemar] Well I’ll see your “?” and raise you a “!!!”

[Guild][Lorthemar] Because I’m SICK AND TIRED of nobody around here ever knowing WHO THE HELL I AM

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Um, what’s this guy’s damage?

[Guild][Lorthemar] So I’m going to explain this ONE MORE TIME

[Guild][Lorthemar] SO GRAB A DAMN CRAYON TO WRITE IT DOWN THIS TIME

[Guild][Lorthemar] I

[Guild][Lorthemar] AM NOT

[Guild][Lorthemar] NEW

[Guild][Lorthemar] Is that CLEAR enough for you IDIOTS?

[Guild][Lorthemar] I HAVE BEEN IN THIS GODDAMN GUILD FOR MONTHS

[Guild][Lorthemar] I CAN REMEMBER BEING ONLINE WHEN HALF YOU OTHER PEOPLE JOINED

[Guild][Lorthemar] I’M NOT A RECRUIT, I’M NOT SOMEBODY’S COUSIN

[Guild][Lorthemar] I AM LOR’THEMAR THERON, DAMMIT!

[Guild][Lorthemar] REGENT LORD OF QUEL’THALAS

[Guild][Lorthemar] It NOT HARD to remember that part

[Guild][Lorthemar] LOOK

[Guild][Lorthemar] <–

[Guild][Lorthemar] SEE HOW THAT WORKS, YOU MOUTHBREATHING IDIOTS?

[Guild][Lorthemar] “Lorthemar”…IS LOR’THEMAR

[Guild][Lorthemar] THAT’S ME

[Guild][Lorthemar] LOR’THEMAR FUCKING THERON

[Guild][Lorthemar] RULER OF THE BLOOD ELVES

[Guild][Lorthemar] ME

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] oh hi, lorthemar. welcome to the guild.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] did you just join?

[Guild][Lorthemar] sdfghliuhurtyhweuirthlidrhglsdajghfljksdhg

[Guild][Lorthemar] THAT DOES IT THE HELL WITH YOU ALL

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] um no prof he just said he’s been in the guild a while

[Lorthemar] has logged off.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] well what crawled up his ass?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] He’s a blood elf. Who knows

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] um

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] people don’t usually get that upset about this game, do they?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Um, well…

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] your naivete is adorable.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Quick pointer, Ji…don’t queue for any battlegrounds.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] or dungeons

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Or pay attention to trade chat when you’re in the major cities.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] and while you’re at it you might just want to uninstall the whole game right now and cancel your internet service.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh. um.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i guess i’ll go back to leveling

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Where in the world are you?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] orgrimmar

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] No, I mean, where in the game?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] But like I was starting to say like ten minutes ago

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i just got sent to a region called siberia

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Do you know anything about these meetings your panda friends are working on for Social Services, Ji?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] a little bit, yes sir

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] the orphan matron suggested i arrange for some of my people to help

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] since pandaren culture places great value on being centered and grounded emotionally

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, you guys do seem very even keel

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] we try to be, yes sir

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] so a few of my people are helping hold some sessions on some of our methods and principles

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] particularly for controlling anger

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] …

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So ANOTHER one basically telling me I have a temper?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] see i TOLD you you needed to work on not being angry all the time

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] YOU stay out of this

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh hey

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] well clearly i’m not the only one thinking it!

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Clearly a sign of their failure to appreciate the pressures and stresses that come with the laudable work you do day in and day out.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] When you’re not playing video games or blogging.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i was going around fighting a few things for xp, when these mobster npcs attacked me and ran off

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] and now i have things missing from my inventory

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh those russian mob guys are nasty

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] You said you were in Siberia?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, so I think I need to go do some checking on this

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ll be back

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] yes

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah, you have to watch for that.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] In Soviet Russia, mobs farm you.

You have logged off.

 

Surprises from the land down under

log2

So after the last few days, I decided I needed to relax and blow off a little steam, so I locked myself away upstairs for some gaming time, and…well…see for yourself.

 

You have logged on.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] I’m just about to start on the outback now

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] did you get the bread crumb quest to alice springs?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey, chief

[Guild][Lorthemar] Hail, Garrosh!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi garrosh

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey guys

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] what’s up, boss?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh and hi, lorthemar

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] are you new?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Eh, doing okay, I guess

[Guild][Lorthemar] Erm, no…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Just need to destress a little

[Guild][Lorthemar] I’ve been in this guild for months.

[Guild][Lorthemar] Why do people keep asking me that?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh okay

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] anyway, garona, when you start questing in the outback, just watch out for the dingo packs

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] has earned the achievement [Heroic: Sydney Opera House]!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] they’re bad news, huh?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] grats!

[Guild][Lorthemar] Congratulations!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] grats BQ

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Thank you, all! ^_^

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And greetings, Warchief. My apologies for being a bit distracted. I was focused on an instance.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah gayle, they just turn up out of nowhere and swarm you

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh hey, that’s right, I forgot all about the expansion!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] ugh great – well thanks for the warning

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] How are you guys liking Australia?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] I take back all the jokes I made about it.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] the new zones are gorgeous!

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] they really did a nice job on it from what I’ve seen so far

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] BQ’s leaving us all in the dust, though

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] she’s level 60 already

[ProfHubert | Faranell] has logged on.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh wow

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well, I needed something to occupy myself with while many of you were going about the much more important work of fighting for the glory of the Horde.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi prof

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Shining success that it was.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey Edwin.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You could always put in a little time tracking down what happened to Koltira Deathweaver, you know

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh hey, there’s the doc

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] His whereabouts *are* indeed a mystery, I will grant.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] That’s good, I’d meant to check up on him after the dust settled

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hiya prof

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You know, make sure he was still there and okay

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief? Why would Faranell not be okay? He’s been here in the Undercity the whole time, nowhere near the conflicts in the Barrens and Dustwallow.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Huh

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] hello all

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey doc, how goes?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hmm

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, good point, Sylvanas…

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] have I mentioned how much I love this new aoe looting?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] it goes.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh man, yeah, that’s great.

[Guild][Lorthemar] That was indeed a superb addition.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh hell yeah, is that active finally?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] yup

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, so I think it’s time for me to get out there and have a look

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Going into the new zone cinematic, so I’ll be quiet for a few

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] So Edwin, everything okay down in the Apothecarium?

[Guild][Lorthemar] Enjoy, Warchief. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] it’s fine.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Fairly quiet, since, as the good doctor will surely confirm, there’s little going on there other than routine defensive research.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] unless you count all the plague, yeah.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] lol

[Proudleslie] has logged on.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Your…droll sense of humor is amusing as always, doctor. A fine jest indeed.

[Guild][Proudleslie] oh man what a week i’ve had

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Um…

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] if you say so.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi leslie

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah

[Guild][Proudleslie] hi everyone

[Guild][Proudleslie] it’ll be good to unwind here a little

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] This isn’t going to be pretty, is it?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] nope

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] have you had a chance to get started on australia yet, leslie?

[Guild][Proudleslie] just the first night

[Guild][Proudleslie] i pulled a late nighter and managed to get a couple levels

[Guild][Proudleslie] then i had a bunch of stuff blow up on me rl

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Sounds very hectic, Leslie…

[Guild][Proudleslie] and now i have this new job so

[Guild][Proudleslie] brb afk

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] omg jealous!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] but yay!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, so that’s done

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] wb

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] so you’re in sydney now?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah…have a bunch of quests to do

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Uh, YEAH here we go

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So…just to make sure I’m not mixing this up with some alternate reality or something

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] is that who I think it is?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah, it’s jaina

[Guild][Proudleslie] thanks gayle

[Guild][Proudleslie] thanks lorthemar

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Welcome back, Leslie. Good to see you again.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Question #2

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] WHY IS SHE STILL IN THE FUCKING GUILD

[Guild][Proudleslie] thanks livin

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I hope things have settled down for you a bit.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I don’t think anyone has seen her on since last time

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] and the whole thing with varian

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief, if I may…

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah, I guess nobody bothered to go back and gkick her while she was offline.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And also why the hell are you being all buddy buddy with her, Sylvanas?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] A suggestion, Garrosh?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That’s actually part of my suggestion.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] What suggestion, to be friends with our enemies, especially the ones who completely torpedoed what should have been a decisive win for the Horde?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Because apparently, we’re running Heroic Bizarro World in real life now?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief…

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Or are you throwing in with Baine and Vol’jin to commemorate Hey Everybody Let’s All Piss Off Garrosh Week?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] That’s only a week?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief, please hear me out.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh trust me, I’m all ears

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Consider for a moment: it’s precisely *because* Jaina has proven such a thorn in the Horde’s side that we should consider keeping her in the guild.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Because…?

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I’ll get another virus queued up, just in case…

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Recall the old adage, Warchief: keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] By all appearances, Jaina does not realize who we are. I can’t imagine why Varian wouldn’t have told her, but then, considering Varian’s evident mental acuity, I suppose anything is possible.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] In any case, we have here among us a high-ranking member of the Alliance, who we know to have Varian’s ear, and will likely be privy to a great many of their plans, not to mention whichever ones she might be involved in personally.

[Guild][Proudleslie] huh its gotten all quiet

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If we can keep her around, we might be able to use it to our advantage, to ply inside information from her about our enemies’ movements.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’d tried to make this same suggestion to you a few months ago when we discovered Varian had joined the guild, but you kicked him before I could make my point.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] But this time, Warchief, please, consider the possibilities here.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] I have to admit, it’s a pretty smart idea.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] they’re talking in officer chat

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m already working on befriending her. We don’t need to do anything other than allow her to stay around, while we watch for openings.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I understand that you’re angry about the recent setbacks, but think of the benefit we might gain from this, with hardly any risk of loss on our part.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Huh… Okay, you know what, that actually IS pretty smart

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So, yeah, okay, let her stick around

[Guild][Proudleslie] oh

[Guild][Proudleslie] about what?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ll bite my tongue

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Thank you, Warchief. I promise you won’t regret this.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] We’ll just have to make sure nobody slips up and gives away who’s actually in the guild

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] most people have been getting pretty good about rl stuff

[Guild][Lorthemar] Probably me.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] lol

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, well, hopefully we’ll get something useful out of this

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Meanwhile, let me get back to leveling

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i should get going actually.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] see everyone soon.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] bye prof

[ProfHubert | Faranell] has logged off.

[Guild][Proudleslie] bye profhubert

[Guild][Proudleslie] bah too slow

[Guild][Proudleslie] oh hey

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] ?

[Guild][Proudleslie] since most of the officers are on, could i get a guild invite for my bf?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You’re not going to be cybering him in guild chat, are you?

[Guild][Proudleslie] omg

[Guild][Proudleslie] i’m so so so embarrassed about that

[Guild][Proudleslie] i’m so sorry, it wont happen again i promise

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Also, she has a boyfriend now? Since when?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Beats me.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And who is it?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] I don’t really keep up with celebrity gossip.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Working on it…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, sure, Leslie, just as soon as I’m out of combat here

[Guild][Proudleslie] ok

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] it’s ok, leslie, i’ll get him, just whisper me the name?

[Guild][Proudleslie] ok! ty

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Hmm, well this is interesting…

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] What?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m trying not to press for too much information, obviously…

[HonaleePuff] has joined the guild.

[Guild][Lorthemar] Welcome!

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] One moment.

[Guild][Proudleslie] hi sweetie!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] welcome puff

[Guild][HonaleePuff] THANKS EVERYONE

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whoa don’t yell!

[Guild][HonaleePuff] WHAT?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh good, he’s a caps-talker to boot.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] people still do that?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] the caps, it’s like you’re yelling

[Guild][Proudleslie] thats just his deep sexy booming voice heehee

[Guild][HonaleePuff] LOL

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Ugh, you weren’t kidding about this wombat thing

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The damn thing’s killed me twice now

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] see I told you

[Guild][Proudleslie] omg i hated that thing

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Did we ever find out who this guy is, by the way?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I have a strong suspicion based on what she’s told me…

[Guild][Lorthemar] Would you like a hand, sir?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] That would be great, thanks

[Guild][Lorthemar] Happy to be of help! Send me an invite?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Incoming

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And that would be…?

[Guild][Lorthemar] Got it! I’ll be there in just a moment.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m pretty sure that he’s Kalecgos.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whoa

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] ok everyone, I need to go for a while

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Wait, you mean the Aspect of Magic Kalecgos?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Well, not anymore

[Guild][Lorthemar] Farewell!

[Guild][Proudleslie] bye gayle

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Well yeah, but he was.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] for like ten minutes

[Guild][HonaleePuff] BYE

[Garona | Nightengayle] has logged off.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So wait…how sure are you about this?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Quite sure, actually. Based on what she’s said, and a few bits and pieces I’ve picked up from my own sources.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Huh

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Well, that settles it

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] what?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] She’s officially run out of mammals

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] haha

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] -Sigh-

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh yikes, yeah, I didn’t think of that. I didn’t know Jaina was a scaley…

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Well you kind of had to figure nothing was off the table with her

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Ugh scalies creep me out.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh, like you wouldn’t do Alexstrasza if you had the chance

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Who could blame him, really? I wish I had her body.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] You kind of do. Like, exactly.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Thank you, Mokvar…I think.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Just don’t start going all Bragor on her now, Mokvar

[Guild][Lorthemar] Okay, here I am!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hang on

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] -Shudder-

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Don’t remind me. I’ve been starting to wear parkas during his shifts…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Uh, dude…

[Guild][Lorthemar] Yes? Is something wrong, sir?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] What’s up with your toon?

[Guild][Lorthemar] What about it?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] It’s kind of a girl

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Don’t know if you’ve noticed

[Guild][Lorthemar] Um, yes, I know, sir… Is that a problem?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So…you play a female toon?

[Guild][Lorthemar] Yes…?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] To be fair, he IS a blood elf. He pretty much plays a female toon in RL too…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] …

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, dude, fine, whatever works for you

[Guild][Proudleslie] thats actually pretty smart

[Guild][Proudleslie] you would be AMAZED how willing guys are to help when you have a female avatar

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That’s actually quite true…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, well whatever, let’s just kill this damn wombat

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Also to be fair, whose ass would YOU rather look at for 60 levels?

[Guild][Proudleslie] haha well if you’re asking ME…

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Too…many…jokes…

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Heh.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] -Sigh- again.

[Guild][Lorthemar] There we go!

[Guild][Lorthemar] See, pretty painless with the two of us.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Thanks, man

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] or…whatever

[Guild][Lorthemar] Any time, sir.

[Guild][HonaleePuff] OUCH

[Guild][Proudleslie] omg sweetie what killed you?

[Guild][HonaleePuff] SOME PACK OF DOGS

[Guild][HonaleePuff] THYE JUST FLATTENED ME

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] ohhhh the dingoes got you

[Guild][Proudleslie] omg dingoes ate my baby!

[Guild][Proudleslie] its ok i can rez you

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] So Leslie, I’m curious, how long have you and Puff been together?

[Guild][HonaleePuff] NOT VERY LONG REALLY

[Guild][Proudleslie] nope not long at all

[Guild][Proudleslie] we only got together this past week

[Guild][Proudleslie] but it feels like we’ve know each other for ages

[Guild][HonaleePuff] : )

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh, well congratulations to you both, then. I hope you’ll be very happy.

[Guild][Proudleslie] ty

[Guild][Proudleslie] its just funny too, b/c just a couple weeks ago i was talking to my friend

[Guild][Proudleslie] and he just got married not too long ago

[Guild][Proudleslie] and he was telling me how life would be much better if i found someone to share it with

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Gee, I wonder who THAT could be

[Guild][Proudleslie] and a few days later here he was!

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] That’s very sweet indeed.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And not at all contrived in its timing.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Also, seriously, Thrall’s spending his time now dropping by to tell Jaina she needs to get herself a man?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Or, I guess, to narrow it down to one and settle down?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Watch, he’s become one of those people who get married and then feel like everybody else needs to get married too.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] You know, misery loves company.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] haha

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] No no, I’ll tell you exactly what that is

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Thrall’s been dropping by to hang out with Jaina

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Only now, he’s got a wife pulling him aside when he gets home, like, “So hey, what exactly is the deal with the blonde chick you’re spending all this time with?”

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] “Who I was hearing things about, like, all the way out in Nagrand”

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] haha

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And so I’ll bet you anything, Thrall was like, “Okay, I have to get this chick hooked up so the missus gets off my ass”

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Heh, yeah, wife aggro.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And seriously

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] If he didn’t want wife aggro, I mean, come on

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] He fucking married a woman NAMED Aggro, pretty much

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] aggra aggro?

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hah

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Anyway

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I need to get going

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Have a meeting with Malkorok

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Have to run for a while, guys

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Have fun

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh joy…

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] later boss

[Guild][Proudleslie] bye pwn

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Take care, sir.

You have logged off.

 

Roundhouse cleave to the face

log

I’ve got a return trip to Hearthglen lined up for tomorrow, but between then and now I figured I’d put in a little game time. In this case, though, I got to unveil a little surprise to the rest of the guild…

 

[You have logged on.]

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] oh wow thats freaky

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah, that’s really weird

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh you’ve got no idea. This guy was a flake even by Mylune standards.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi garrosh

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] heya boss

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Sup, guys

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Hey, chief. I was just telling everyone about Tembw’bam out in ZG.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] hello sir

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I kind of wish I’d been there to see it, sounds like he was a real hoot

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You could say that, yeah…

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] wait could he turn into an owl too?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Not that kind of a hoot.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] theres different kinds?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] wow your an idiot

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] I mean I think he sounds entertaining

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] oh

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] has logged on.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] he sounds like kind of a moron if you ask me

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] are you talking about tembwbam or dontrag?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey Sylvanas

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Does it really matter, as far as accuracy?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Hello, Spazzle.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] lol

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] tembwbam

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Haha

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no i’m dontrag

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Are you sure?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I thought you were Utvoch.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no he’s utvoch

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i’m utvoch

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] yah thats what i said

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] only i said he instead of i

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Hmm, I could swear you were Utvoch, Dontrag.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You really do enjoy messing with them, don’t you?

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] huh are you sure

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no she cant be sure if she’s wrong

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I hardly think I’m wrong.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] In fact, I’m quite sure you’re Utvoch, Dontrag.

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] haha

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] huh so that would make me dontrag?

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no your not dontrag utvoch

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Can you blame me, really?

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i dont know, she seems pretty sure

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Look at them.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] she’s messing with you you moron

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] lol this is epic

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] It’s like spinning a dog around hundreds of times, and then playing catch with it.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] See what I mean? Plenty of moron to go around…

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] lol, ok point taken

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Not so. I’m pretty sure most dogs could outwit either of them.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] she is? oh damn

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So anyway… Yeah, the dude from ZG was a piece of work.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh so speaking of which, garrosh

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] how come you wanted a rogue for the trip to STV and you didn’t invite me?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh for fuck’s sake…

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] i know i’ve told you about how i like the beaches down there

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m sure you did

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] right, so?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Whether I was listening at the time is a whole other question

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] haha

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] ouch!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] omg

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] seriously though why would you take krog instead?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hang on, tabbing out

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh sure, tab out now

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] ugh

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I wouldn’t worry about it too much, Garona.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m sure the Warchief had his reasons.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] yea well we’ll see

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] Okay, so what’s the catch there going to be?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] There’s no catch.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m not *always* trolling, you know.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] ok so dontrag and i just went over this and we’re pretty sure he’s dontrag and i’m utvoch

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well I’m glad we’ve finally been able to put this mystery to rest.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, back

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i know, that was going to bother me till we figured it out

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I had to help someone get set up on the game

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] New player so I’ve been having to walk him through setting it up

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh cool, anyone we know?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Haha, yep

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Nice, who is it?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You’ll see in a minute

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] did you remember to use your refer-a-friend for them?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh hell yes

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I want my hang glider

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh ok

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, here we go

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] This is going to be epic

[ChuckNorris | Saurfang] has joined the guild.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] welcome Chuck

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] hi chuck

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] So yeah, you guys might know ChuckNorris here better by his real life name, Varok Saurfang

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] whoa

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] holy shit!

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Oh HELL yes!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Haha, yeah, I finally convinced him to give it a try for the freebie month

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Greetings, High Overlord!

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] welcome, sir!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Saurfang, if you type /g it’ll set your chat line to type here in the guild chat

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] greetings overlord

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] is this working?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yup

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] reading you loud and clear, sir

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] ah, there we are.  greetings and honor to you all, friends.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Welcome to the guild, Overlord.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] LivinDeadGrl here is Sylvanas, Saurfang

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] a pleasure to ‘see’ you, as it were, dark lady

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And you as well, Overlord.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] no need here for such formality, dark lady. we are all soldiers of the horde and friends here; ‘varok’ will suffice.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Or Rokky

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Haha! Rokky it is!

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] no, most certainly not ‘rokky’

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yes, sir, Rokky struck from the record, check.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Anyway, Saurfang, let me do the quick introductions here, so you know who’s who

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] We covered Sylvanas… Bartleby is Mokvar… MrBadcrumble is Spazzle Fizzletrinket, I think you met him a couple times…

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] ahem

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Ugh, fine. Nightengayle is Garona…

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] a pleasure as always, Saurfang!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And SteveKravitz and GilbertRose are Dontrag and Utvoch, in some order, nobody really remembers which

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i’m dontrag

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Also nobody really gives a shit

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] sorry our existence isn’t more relevant sir

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] a moment, i should note all this down.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ll hook you up later with a mod that will let you add a note to people’s names in-game to help keep track of everyone

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] If you need help with anything while you’re getting the hang of the game, sir, don’t be reluctant to speak up

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah we can definitely help give you an armed escort wherever

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] many thanks to you all, friends. i suspect it will take some doing before I am adequately acclimated to the environment here

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Also, Sylvanas?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Yes, Warchief?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] If you start asking him about the warlocks or what Dranosh means again, I will end you

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I can’t imagine why you would think such a thing of me, Warchief…

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] so what class are you playing, saurfang?

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] i believe this is called a ‘texas ranger’

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] oh hey i bet sylvanas could show you a lot about that class

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] No

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] uh no

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] no

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] i thought she was a ranger

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Not that kind of ranger

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] is she a different spec or something?

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] spirits help me i wish i could stunlock people over the internet sometimes

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m a Dark Ranger. It’s not the same thing.

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] so the ranger talent trees are dark, texas and what else?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Utvoch

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] yes sir

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Stop talking before I come over there and chop you up into many many tiny little pieces

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] yes sir

[Guild][SteveKravitz | Utvoch] sorry sir

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] At any rate, I had really only come on to check on my auctions. I need to leave for a meeting for the moment.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] later, Sylvanas

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] bye BQ

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] farewell, dark lady. honor go with you.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Back soon! ^_^

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] has logged off.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] So I’m guessing you’re at the ranch starting zone, Saurfang?

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] it would appear so, yes

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] there appears to be a peculiarly liveried human here who, inexplicably, has an exclamation point hovering above his head.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] that means he has a quest for you

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Right-click on him and he’ll show you a write-up of what he wants you to do.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] ah, interesting. a moment…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ll head over to the starter zone in a minute and give you a few dollars to get you going

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] did you get the quest, Saurfang?

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] a moment, i’m still reading.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Ah, he must be reading all the quest text.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] People do that?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Apparently.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] indeed. i would hate to overlook some critical detail, as i’m sure this ‘rancher’ fellow’s monologue must include information that will hold some importance later on.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh wow, that’s so cute

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Well, he’s new. No harm in taking his time and soaking it all in.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] it appears i am needed to acquire a hot iron and brand six of the cattle in the nearby pens.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] the branding iron should be kind of shining now, so you can spot it

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] i must say, this does not at the outset appear to be the sort of heroic undertaking i might have supposed a fantasy adventure would present.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The early quests are pretty simple, so you can get used to the game mechanics

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] To be fair, the quests never exactly get particularly complicated.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Well yeah, but at least you get some bigger and badder stuff to fight.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Eventually as you level up, you get new zones opened up for you to quest in, too

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] There’s also an expansion coming up that’s going to add a whole new continent to the game

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] have they announced a release date yet for land down under?

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] I doubt he’ll be max level before Down Under comes out, though.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] yeah, LDU’s coming out in like another month and a half

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] well then, that mission is completed, uninspiring though it was.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] he should have a follow-up for you now

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] indeed. a moment while i read.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] someday when he’s all hardcore and speeding through quests we’ll look back at this and laugh

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] haha

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Watch, in a week he’ll be better than all of us

[Officer][Bartleby | Mokvar] He’s Saurfang, he probably already is.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] hmm, so it would seem that the ranch’s livestock has taken losses recently due to itinerant vermin.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] i am being called upon to hunt down some dozen of the coyotes lurking about and slay them.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] There you go, that should be more up your alley

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] i will grant that this mission sounds a bit more promising, although i’m at something of a loss as to why the rancher would specify twelve of the creatures.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] if the vermin are proving problematic, would it not make more sense for me to stay at my task until they have been eliminated altogether?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] respawn timer would make that a real pain

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] It’s probably best not to overthink these things.

[Nightengayle | Garona] has earned the achievement [Level 50]!

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] grats

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Grats, Garona!

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] whew, finally

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] and thanks

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] now to start gearing

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] hmm, that coyote died rather easily.

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] I would imagine you’re used to that happening.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] indeed.

[Guild][ChuckNorris | Saurfang] now for the next animal. i appear to have an ability called ‘roundhouse kick’; let me see what it does on this one.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] go for it

[MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] has logged on.

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] did you guys just get knocked off too?

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] i swear that wasn’t me this time…

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] Yeah, I did.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Same here

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle]  hmm let me check something

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] that was so weird

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, I can’t remember that ever happening to me before

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Even when my internet cuts out, it doesn’t just boot me right away I like that, I end up just hanging for a couple minutes first

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] oh wow

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] it looks like the whole server got knocked offline for a minute

[Guild][Nightengayle | Garona] oh yikes

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] i wonder what caused it

[Guild][Bartleby | Mokvar] You know, come to think of it…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Well, either way, Saurfang is probably all confused now

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Let me go see if I can track him down and get him situated again

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ll be back in a few maybe…

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] later boss

You have logged on.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Well what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

[Guild][ProfHubert] if we only had a silver piece for every time one of us has said that lol

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Greetings, Warchief.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Evening, Sylvanas

[Guild][ProfHubert] hello sir

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Who’s this guy?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | SylvanasMaster Apothecary Faranell, one of my aides here in the Undercity.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] He had asked about the guild while you were busy this week.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey Prof

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] We didn’t want to bother you with it while you were doing more important things, so we decided to go ahead and invite him.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Welcome to the guild

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Hopefully that’s all right with you, Warchief.

[Guild][ProfHubert] thank you sir

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, that’s fine

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You guys can go ahead and invite people if you’re pretty comfortable with them

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You’re sure about who this guy is, right?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh hey, Prof, based on your name, are you playing the teacher class too?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Yes, sir. I see him in person on a daily basis.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, good

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I want to start being more careful screening people coming into the guild

[Guild][ProfHubert] no, actually this character is a zookeeper

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Of course, sir.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah?  You don’t see too many of those around

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Did you get my message about the plague?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Yes, sir, this morning. I was actually just passing word on to Faranell to put a halt to any further experiments.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Fortunately we had only just recommenced our tests, as our attempts to work on a new plague had, of course, been shelved for quite some time.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, good

[Guild][ProfHubert] i noticed that yes

[Guild][ProfHubert] all the animals in the game are so mundane, i thought i might be able to find a way to enhance some of the breeds

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I was just too angry for my own good when I gave you the go-ahead for that

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] But then you probably already realize that

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Understandable, Warchief.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Can you do that?

[Guild][ProfHubert] we’ll find out, won’t we

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Are you dealing with matters a bit better now?

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m not sure what would count as “better”

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] True.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m going to head back to Nagrand in a day or two to spend a little time

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Visit Greatmother, that kind of thing

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Probably wise, indeed.

[Guild][ProfHubert] brb

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Of course in a perfect world I would intercept you-know-who on my way through the Dark Portal

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If I might offer a word of advice, Warchief.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] What’s that?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | SylvanasYour anger at Magatha Grimtotem is certainly justified, but I would urge you not to let your desire for vengeance to preoccupy your thoughts too greatly.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I know only too well what it’s like to crave revenge against an enemy above all else.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I know all about you and Arthas, Sylvanas

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] With all due respect, Warchief, I truly doubt that you do.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] But you’re right, insofar as avenging myself on the Lich King occupied nearly my every thought for quite some time.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Worked out for you I’d say

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You got to see him dead

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Yes. And then I found myself with the minor dilemma of what else to think about.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If I might make a suggestion, Warchief.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] This should be good

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] No one would dispute that Magatha’s actions were monstrous, or that her motives were vile. You are right to be angry, and should fate present the opportunity, it is just that she should be called to account. This much is beyond contention.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] In the interim, however, I would merely suggest attempting to focus less on what she took from you, and more on what she unwittingly gave.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The fuck are you talking about, what she gave?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief, I’m certain that I do not need to tell you I am no stranger to loss.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard about the story about the Scourge in Quel’thalas a thousand times, Sylvanas

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] There is that, yes. Countless numbers of my friends and family died that day.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh  I mean, not to make light, but yeah

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] But even before the Scourge invasion…

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You may or may not recall my dear sister Alleria, Warchief.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] She was part of the Alliance Expedition into Draenor, following the Second War over twenty years ago.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] She disappeared there and has not been seen since. Even in all the time since the Horde and Alliance have come to frequent Outland, there has been no sign of her.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] She has long since been presumed dead.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, right, I know

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Look, Sylvanas, I’m sorry about your sister, but I don’t see what that has to do with anything

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Let me put it this way, Warchief.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Do you know – do you have even the faintest idea – what I would give to have one more day with her?

[Guild][ProfHubert] dark lady

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Ah…

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Magatha’s deception was odious, Garrosh, beyond question, but Lakkara’s return, though illusory in one important sense, was also very much real.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] From everything I gather, her spirit was not a hallucination, or a glamour, or a fabrication.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] It really was her, albeit a spirit and not flesh and blood.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And for several days, you were able to be with your mother again.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You were able to talk with her and hear her respond.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You were able to see her face light up with pride as you showed her the man her boy had grown up to become.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] For all that’s despicable about Magatha’s doings and for all the rightful hatred you feel for her, Warchief, that much was a gift.

[Guild][ProfHubert] sylvanas?

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I would simply urge you not to lose sight of that.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hmm. Maybe, I guess…

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] One moment, Warchief.

[GilbertRose | Dontrag] has logged on.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey Utvoch.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] no its dontrag sir

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] but hello sir

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Crap, mixed you up again, sorry

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I even have that mod to try to keep you straight, too

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] dont worry about it sir, we get it all the time

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Don’t know what it is with you two

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] guess we just have one of those faces

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Um…I can’t actually see your faces here, Dontrag

[ProfHubert] has logged off.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief, I’m afraid I need to go for a bit. We have something of a situation here.

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] huh thats true

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] What’s going on?

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] weird

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’ll update you once I’ve had a chance to check on it myself, Warchief. Perhaps nothing. We shall see.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] At any rate, have a good trip to Nagrand if I do not see you again before that.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Take care, Garrosh.

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] has logged off.

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Okay, thanks, Sylvanas

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And I’m talking to no one

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] so whats up sir

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Literally

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Not a lot, Dontrag

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] La la la no one here but me, la la la stuck talking to a moron in /g

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Oh what the hell

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] oh ok

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] There once was a dwarf from Mudsprocket

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Who helped goblins work on their rocket

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] He tried to match wits

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] With two orcs, heads o’ shits,

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Until, throwing hands up, cried “O fock it!”

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] EPIC VERSE!

[Guild][GilbertRose | Dontrag] i don’t get it

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Hey

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Good evening, Warchief.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Or should I say good morning.

[Guild][Lorthemar] Greetings and salutations, Warchief!

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, hi, whatever

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Whoever the hell you are

[Guild][Lorthemar] Um…

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Isn’t this terribly late for you to be up, Warchief? It’s nearly 3am.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I could ask you the same question

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Technically, I suppose, but you must understand, dear Warchief, I *am* undead. My people don’t really require sleep, strictly speaking.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Huh. Lucky you

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] It has its benefits, I will grant.

[Guild][Lorthemar] As for me, Warchief, it’s actually an interesting story.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Don’t really care why you’re not off in your jammies, new guy

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I take it you’ve not been resting well of late?

[Guild][Lorthemar] Oh.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You could say that

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Just as well for me to stay up…get some things done…better off being productive than trying to sleep and finding out what delights are waiting for me under my eyelids

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] What dreams may come, indeed.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m sorry these past days have been so stressful for you, Warchief.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah, well

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If I can be of any assistance in these trying times, I am of course at your disposal.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Funny you should say that

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh really?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] That’s actually why I logged in

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Was kind of hoping you’d be on

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Oh, once again, really?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Yeah

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The humans were behind this, you know, Sylvanas

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] One way or another, they did this

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] They were right here under my nose, watching me

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And I gave her to them

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief, be reasonable. Clearly there’s no way you could have known, even if they *did* learn of your plans through the guild.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Maybe, maybe not

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Doesn’t really matter

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] But these humans…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The internment camps, the sacking of Taurajo…how many more atrocities and petty indignities? Now this.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Their track record is, admittedly, less than shining.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ve had enough

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’ve had as much of them as I can stand

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Yes sir…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I know you’ve given them a pretty foul treatment yourself.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] I’m not sure I follow…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Sylvanas, please don’t talk to me like I’m naïve.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I may not be the deepest thinker in the world, but I’m not a fool, and I’m sure as hell not blind

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I know you’ve spent years conducting those revolting experiments of yours in Hillsbrad and who knows where else

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Using humans as guinea pigs, all that

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Warchief, I assure you, rumors of those experiments were exaggerated.

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] And whatever indiscretions occurred were put to a halt long ago.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] No

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You’re not getting it

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] That plague you were working on

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] It’s a go again

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Um…

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] You mean to say, Warchief…?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You and your plague are back in business, Sylvanas.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You understand me?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Yes, sir…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I don’t need to know the details

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Just do whatever you have to do

[Guild][Lorthemar] Um, Warchief, begging your pardon…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] And I ESPECIALLY don’t need to hear backtalk from YOU, red-shirt

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] If you’re sure, Warchief, I will of course carry out your wishes…

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Good

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You know, it’s ironic, come to think of it

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] What is, sir?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] You working on a “plague,” how everyone shit a brick being appalled by it

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] But you know?

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Azeroth was already plagued with a much worse infection

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] The humans

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] It’s time we fight fire with fire

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Of course, Warchief. As ever, I am always at the service of the Horde.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Good

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m going to go, see if I can get a little rest

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Probably wise. I suspect there will be long days ahead for us all.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] I’m pretty sure they’ve already started

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Rest well, Garrosh.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Night, Sylvanas

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] Night, new guy

[Guild][Lorthemar] Dark Lady, you can’t seriously plan to do this?

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Quiet, Lor’themar.

[Guild][Lorthemar] But did you hear him?

Lifetime piling up

tiragarde

I killed her. Me and my big mouth.

Not literally. But I might as well have.  t was enough that she died because I left myself vulnerable when Grebo attacked. But Grebo just BEING there was my fault.

I had to go yammering on in guild chat about where I was going with her. Not even thinking about who might be there listening in. How many times do I have to run into people pretending to be something they’re not on the internet before I get it through my thick skull? And so, there they were, Varian Wrynn and Jaina Proudmoore, right there in my own guild, soaking it all in. I might as well have sent them fucking invitations and enclosed a poisoned blade. And lo and behold, a pack of humans turn up out of nowhere.

It’s the only thing that makes sense. That’s the only time I talked to anyone about where we were going, other than my mother herself and a few of the guards we passed leaving Orgrimmar and traveling through Ashenvale.

I know what you’re thinking – how to account for Grebo. He’s still an orc, right? So why would he be working with humans if that’s who’s behind this? And see, that’s where you’re just looking at the surface. Grebo WAS an orc. That thing that attacked me in Demon Fall Canyon? That was Grebo’s reanimated corpse. I’ve been talking to Draz’Zilb out of Brackenwall Village – he’s no stranger to necromancy, and he tells me that when someone is resurrected, there’s a whole range of possibilities as far as how much of the actual person is still there. Maybe it’s the entire being come back whole. Maybe it’s an empty shell, walking around wearing the original person’s face. Maybe it’s any of a million points in between, any combination of memories, motivations, personality, will…anyway, he tells me it wouldn’t be much of a stretch at all to rig things so whoever you’re raising is going to be perfectly cooperative, whoever you happen to be.

No shock to anyone, I’ve been going over and over this in my head all day. I ended up needing to get out of my war room and get some air, so I took Mortimer for a ride around Durotar. I was planning just to fly around some and hopefully clear my head, but on one loop around we passed over Tiragarde Keep. And I happened to look down.

Humans.

So I landed. An hour later and I was still there. Not even rushing around, just taking my time, wandering through the keep, cutting down any humans I could find.

Usually we’ve been content to leave this human outpost alone – it doesn’t pose any real threat, and the humans there are weak even by human standards, and in a way they’re handy to have around as a training exercise for some of our up-and-comers out of Razor Hill. Send the young blood over, have them take out some easy human pickings, we keep the cockroach population under control and the kids feel like they’ve accomplished something. Everybody wins.

Not today. Today I’m in no mood to humor them. Today I’m done tolerating their presence, these pathetic vermin daring – PRESUMING – to claim a foothold in our lands. These two-legged rats from Theramore (THERAMORE), sitting here almost within eyeshot of Orgrimmar… I’m done with them. They’re like animals – every action I’ve ever known them to take shows it. WORSE than animals, even – at least a dog understands loyalty, and a wyvern has some instinctive sense of honor. Like animals, but less. So I slaughtered them like animals.

It was a good afternoon. While it lasted.

A long time ago I swore I’d make the humans regret the crimes they’ve committed against our people.  Somehow I let those words become just that: words.  Got lazy, grew complacent, contented myself with sitting around on a throne made out of the skull of an enemy I didn’t even kill myself and puffing out my chest like I’d done enough.

No more.

Legionnaire Nazgrim finally returned home to Orgrimmar last week after extended duty in Vashj’ir. I’m promoting him to General and putting him in charge of the initial stages of what comes next. I’ll be laying out our military plans in the next few days, but I don’t plan on wasting much time before we get to work. I’ve already wasted enough. It’s time I got to work doing what I should have done long ago.

Kill them all.
