I know it's late...but I have two entries, just for fun. This first one, I know Kalea will appreciate. There's a back-story, so ask her if you want a good laugh! There once was a cult that ate puppies. Those Druids partake were unlucky. For Kalea was stout, her mace hit like a house, So now they think puppies are yucky. This one is more for the Arena teams a bunch of us used to play on when were running arena: Male Tauren, Undead, and a woman, they played on the battlegroup 'Ruin'. Our 3-man could beat, any team NOT elite, 'Tools with Staves'! They nay saw us coming! I might have another one in a bit...so don't lock the thread yet! -Mu

Yeah, I just got one from jurdreda with a link to some Russian site. I banned them from my account. Maybe we should set the boards to 'approve' before an account can be made / PM's sent. -Mu

All I have to say is... 478 Res (512 when idol procs) 15K health 20K armor ...and I *STILL* get 3-shotted by ret pally's. And they're nerfing rogues? wtf....

Ok, just wanted to let you guys know I'll be on the road some this week, tonight being one of those days. I'll be playing from a hotel most likely, and I don't know if I'll be on Tuesday at all. I'll keep Lithola up to date though. -Jonathan

Yeah, I was SUPER bummed last night...I was on from like 8:30 until 11:00 and no-one on the teams logged in at all Was jonesing for some 2v2 action too...Doom logged at like 11:15 but by then, the GF was home and I was tired. Bright side, I went 5:2 in WSG, and the 2 losses were against a 10-man premade. ANyway, maybe 9pm start time on Tuesdays? And...Tuesdays will be only for 2v2 and 3v3 teams, we'll keep Mondays for 5v5. We'd love to get you involved in clompin' some trash Smed : ) -Mu

I'd like to extend Monday night Arenas to Tuesday nights as well, for those that are interested. I'm in a 2v2 and 3v3 and I think Tuesday would be a good night for 2v2 / 3v3's. -Mu

I would love it if you guys stopped by in October when I actually have it I'll update this thread closer to the date. -Mu

They should be gold coins...

***ATTENTION*** Due to RL events, and lack of time to plan this thing properly, I have to push it back to October. I have changed the date in the original post, as well as the the Calendar event. It will be held the Wednesday before Halloween, so that should give me enough time to drum up support from a few other guilds as well. Sorry if anyone was looking forward to it, but save those stories because the new date will be kick ass! -Mu

Safe travels friend.

Ok, so after weeks and weeks of bashing our heads on the 1500 wall, Lithola and I figured we'd post something to discuss strategies. We can split this up into topics when we get the PVP forums, but until then we'll just keep it all here in a mega-thread. Being on 3 arena teams, I can tell you that 5v5 strategies are way different then 2v2 just with group dynamics alone, let alone class makeup. 'We Eat Puppies' (a 5v5) has been having trouble breaking through that 1500 wall, we'll go 8:2, then loose 6 straight. So...we have what would be considered a decent night, but we seem to be stuck in the 1400's. We have 7-8 people that play each week, 3 of which are druids and 2 hunters...so when we swap out the people, the class makeup stays more or less the same. The core is: Priest Mage Hunter (swap w/2nd Hunter) Druid (Feral) Druid (Feral/Balance) sometimes we'll swap a Shammy with the Mage, but not so much lately (DOOOM WHERE ARE YOU?!?!) I know I know...no warrior. I'd like to think that a warrior isn't necessary to breach 1600, but maybe it is. Anyway, our strategy is to put me on the target primary healer and CC for 12-15 seconds (which I do) while the other 4 burn down the main DPS target, then we switch to my target and burn the rest of the way. We generally crush melee teams, but we seem to be having trouble with teams that have 3 healers...any suggestions? Maybe take the 2nd feral and CC the 2nd healer? At that point, I don't know if mage/hunter can out-dps the 3rd healer...anyway, thoughts on this or any other idea? -Mu

Was just gonna say that...for $500 I'll deal with looking at the plastic cat box. $200, maybe.... -Mu

<a parchment hangs from a nail on the message post in the center of the camp> Friends, It is with great honor that I invite you all to attend the "Campfire Legends Contest", to be held at the great fire circle at Thunder Bluff on Wednesday, October 29th, shortly after sunset (8pm server time). This event has become somewhat of a tradition for those that enjoy a good tale by the campfire, and by those that enjoy telling a good tale as well. In past years, we have heard many stories from our undead allies, our friends that practice the voo-doo, and of course our green-skinned brethren. I myself have honored the oral tradition of the Tauren by telling tales that many haven't heard for hundreds of years...and some that have never been heard. I hope this year we can hear a few tales of our new allies, the Blood Elves. The rules of the contest are simple: you may spin any tale you like, but color the tale in WoW lore, and do not involve any specific player-character unless you get approval beforehand. The more WoW lore references, the better. The stories will be judged based on a number of criteria, including originality, incorporation of lore, and presentation. You may use props, spells and other effects, and up to 2 other player-characters to tell it. Your story can take no more than 10 minutes to tell, so please rehearse it first. Macros will make it easier...or typing it up beforehand and pasting it in works as well. There will be a panel of 3 judges that will score the tales as the night goes on, and at the end of the competition prizes will be awarded. 1000 gold for best story, 500 gold for best story in race, for a total of 3500 in prizes. So ask old grand-ma about her old tales and bring them to the campfire to share with friends...who knows, you may be the next Campfire Legend! Sign-up sheet will be posted soon, as there are only 15 slots available (2 are reserved for each race). Refreshments will be served. -Muato

I believe those gems are available with Honor Points anyway...
