After Garrosh put up that guild chat log yesterday, I thought it might be helpful to see things from another perspective…

You have logged on.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi baddie

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] check the appendix, then.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] hi mrbadcrumble

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] it should be on a right-hand page, under a map if i recall.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Hey, mon.

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey everyone

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Good evening, Spazzle.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey sylvanas

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] ok ok fine, i know better than to argue with you about these things

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: hey, how are you feeling?

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] I DONT WANT TO IMAGINE HOW MUCH TIME YOU MUST HAVE SPENT IN LIBRARIES STUDYING THIS STUFF PROF

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Better, mon.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] should I even ask what they’re arguing about this time?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] if only you knew.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Chen say pretty soon I be healed up enough ta be back on ma feet an outta dis monastery.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Honestly, I’m not even sure how they got started.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: that’s good

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] ah

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] seriously you must be some kind of master wizard with everything you seem to know

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Can’t happen soon enough, mon – don’ like dis sittin’ around.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] not really.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] so what are you working on? are we about to get achievement spammed as usual?

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i’m not particularly powerful as a caster; i just have a good handle on theory.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: yeah but you have to take care of yourself

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] YOU’D PROBABLY BE A GOOD TEACHER THEN

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Nothing imminent. I’m laying the groundwork for some longer-term projects at the moment.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Any news from Trall?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] maybe thats why his name is professor! =)

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] meh.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i think of it more as “professor” in the “mad scientist” sense.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: not last i heard

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] which is fitting, considering i spend most of my time in a laboratory developing biochemical agents of mass destruction.

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has logged on.

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

You whispered to [LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas]: have you talked to lorthemar?

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: When ya see ’im let ’im know I be dere as soon as I can, an den we deal wit’ Garrosh.

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

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] whispered: Speak the devil’s name…

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi pwn

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] Hey OmgipwneduMon!

[LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] whispered: Oops, mistell.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Speak a da devil, mon.

[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

You whispered to [LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas]: k good

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has logged off.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: i really don’t like all this sneaking around

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] Haha!

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] omg

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] now see, for instance, i can’t work -that- kind of magic.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] i just deploy verbal irony; i can’t conjure it up in actual events.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Ya won’ need to much longer.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i swear i didnt do that!

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has logged on.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Soon we’ll be makin’ our move.

[Guild][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] UGH

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] 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 | Vol’jin] You put da connection voodoo on him, mon!

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: 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

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: 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

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: 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

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] whispered: HER NAME IS LIVINGREDGIRL

[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?

You whispered to [HonaleePuff | Kalecgos]: seriously?

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] whispered: ?

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

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

You whispered to [HonaleePuff | Kalecgos]: don’t you think that’s going to be a little confusing?

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] whispered: Y

[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?

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has logged off.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i do!

You whispered to [HonaleePuff | Kalecgos]: because of how similar that is to LivinDeadGrl?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] me to! just got my set bonus last night in fact

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i’m level 52 now!

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] I mostly just hang out here in da capital cities, mon, an’ stir tings up in trade chat!

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] whispered: OH I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF THAT

[Lorthemar] has logged on.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] grats eddie

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] hi lorthemar

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] whispered: SHOULD I GET HER TO REROLL?

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] Somebody gotta be da resident smartass in dis guild, right?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] hi lor!

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] um, i have some bad news for you…

You whispered to [HonaleePuff | Kalecgos]: no, she already has this toon… I just hope she doesn’t get a lot of mis-tells

[Guild][Lorthemar] Greetings, all!

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] hey lor

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Hello, Lor’themar.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] lol

You whispered to [HonaleePuff | Kalecgos]: I’ll send her an invite

[Officer][Lorthemar] Hail, Spazzle. Dark Lady.

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] whispered: TY

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] yea bobby, prof has seniority on you

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] if only you knew.

You have invited [LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] to the guild.

[Officer][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Lor’themar, I should probably warn you straight away…

[LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] has joined the guild.

[LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] has been promoted to the rank Recruit.

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] he spends most of his time in-game making sarcastic comments to people

[Guild][Lorthemar] Welcome, LivingRedGirl!

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] welcome red!

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has 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 | Alexstrasza] 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.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Garrosh be runnin’ outta friends fast.

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: 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

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: yeah, but I’m *one* of his friends

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

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

[Guild][LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] Haha looks like it yes

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: um

[Officer][Lorthemar] Good evening, Warchief.

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: YES UM

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

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

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: 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?

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: 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…

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Ya ever stop ta ask yaself why, mon?

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: 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?

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: 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.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: ugh hang on

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

[Officer][Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] That’s refreshingly non-suicidal for you, Eyepatch

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

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: with the mokvar thing

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

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

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] GRATS PWN

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has logged off.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: ok that could have been ugly

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Is there anything particular to this conflict your coworker is trying to involve you in, Leslie?

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] Dis is way too entertainin’.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: anyway, like I was saying

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Or is it more along the lines of your typical…in-office sparring?

[Officer][Lorthemar] I almost feel bad for him.

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] i tried to warn him about getting his network set up

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] 1 SEC SHE HAD TO AFK

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] but oh no, he sees a goblin and just figures “catch-all tech genius”

[Guild][LivinDeadGrl | Sylvanas] Ah, I see. No rush.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] since it appears most of my best sources of entertainment are away or disconnecting, i suppose i should go get some work done

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: look, I understand why you’re doing what you’re doing

[Guild][Lorthemar] Be well, ProfHubert!

[Guild][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] later prof

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] in my absence, bob, feel free to take over as interim satirist

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] Hah, tanks mon.

[Guild][ProfHubert | Faranell] just try not to stage some kind of sardonic coup while i’m away

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] Haha, no promises, mon.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] bye prof

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has logged on.

[Guild][MrBadCrumble | Spazzle] bye prof

[ProfHubert | Faranell] has logged off.

[Guild][Bob | Vol’jin] Welcome back, mon! We missed ya!

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] WB AGAIN PWN

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: and I’m helping thrall because, well, he’s thrall, and I don’t think it’s right the way the trolls are being treated

[Guild][LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] 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

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

[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…

[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.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: but that’s as far as I can go

[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.

You whispered to [Bob | Vol’jin]: I won’t stab him in the back

[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 | Vol’jin] Hey, grats, mon!

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

[Officer][MrBadcrumble | Spazzle] whoa seriously?

[Guild][HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] NOT REALLY

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: Ya got ta listen to ya conscience, mon.

[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.

[Bob | Vol’jin] whispered: I hope it’ll let ya sleep if tings go bad.

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: 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…

You whispered to [Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh]: 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.

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: And I get why you kept quiet

[Guild][LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] It’s gotten quiet

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: But let me make this clear

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

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: Mokvar is dead to me

[Guild][LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] Oh

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: 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 [EdwardBear | Ji]: hey

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] whispered: Anyway…later

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: hi spazzle

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: you haven’t heard anything from mokvar, have you?

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

[Omgipwnedurface | Garrosh] has logged off.

[Guild][LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] Are you new

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: not since he ran off

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: why?

[Guild][Lorthemar] …

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh hi lorthemar

[Guild][Lorthemar] No.

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: this is bad

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] did you join recently?

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: this is really bad

[Guild][LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] Me

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: what?

[Guild][Lorthemar] …

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] no, i could swear i’ve seen you before

[Guild][LivingRedGirl | Alexstrasza] I only just joined a few minutes ago

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: you remember the recall totem I told you about?  the one he left me to hold?

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] lorthemar seems new though

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: yes

[Guild][Lorthemar] I…

[Officer][Livindeadgrl | Sylvanas] Perhaps you just have one of those faces?

[Guild][Lorthemar] I believe I need to log off and step away from the game for a bit.

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: the spirit link that a shaman makes with these totems makes them give off a green glow

[Guild][Lorthemar] It’s not good for my rage.

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: it just went out

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] i’m sorry if i upset you, lorthemar

[Lorthemar] has logged off.

[Guild][EdwardBear | Ji] oh bother

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: oh

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] back

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: that’s bad?

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: yeah

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] sorry

[Guild][Livindeadgrl | Sylvanas] Welcome back, Leslie.

[Guild][Livindeadgrl | Sylvanas] Now where were we?

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: the only reason the totem would go out like that is if mokvar were dead

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] sorry livindead, i cant right now

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered: but he can just wake up again, right? like last time?

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] i just came back to say bye and log

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] theres stuff happening here rl and i need to go

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: no, not like ‘waiting for my ankh to kick in’ dead

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] and so does puffy

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: like for real dead

[Guild][Proudleslie | Jaina] like right now

[HonaleePuff | Kalecgos] has logged off.

[EdwardBear | Ji] whispered:  oh dear

[Guild][MrBadCrumble | Spazzle] actually i need to run too

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: I need to go

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

You whispered to [EdwardBear | Ji]: I have to check on this

[Officer][MrBadCrumble | Spazzle] no

You have logged off.
