Darkmoon Days I can remember in the first years of WoW how when the Darkmoon faire was in a town the word spread thru the realm like wildfire and that lil plot of land near the city it had travelled to became a busy hub of gamers looking for special prizes, toys and chores that they could only turn in periodically. Now as the landscape as grown the Darkmoon vendors still go about their day and loyally place out their wares and tents on a schedule as predictable as lossing connection just as you get a chance to roll on the item you have sought for a year in dungeon runs. I think these loyal Faire vendors and keepers need a Bit of attention from the GODz and an upgrade to their chores, rewards, toys, collectible pets and goofy rides that could be dangerous. The Achievement system gives designers an open book of add ons that regardless of merit will surely attract the attention of the population (Ascoli and his Achievers) What kind of new games can you think up for Darkmoon vendors to offer visitors? Submit your entry and we will then have a poll to see which 3 would be the most desired. I will venture to the GODz page and post them at my own peril… they have vexed me in the past but I will not give up trying to deliver the messages that the masses desire… .MORE FUN and adventures goofy or serious to the GODz. Email in game your ideas to Colin and have fun in game always!!! Machinima Fun In Darnells episode recently he addresses the conversation that the next big patch from blizzard will contain a revamp of AQ40 and the storyline around that. Bottom line is Blizzard this year is focused with Diablo and bracing for KotOR… coming soon too. Kritics Corner Nope this is not a place where complaints about Paladins and Mage Crit chances and/or avoidance is going to occur… .but the review of dream world movies. Given it costs about 100 gold to go to a movie for a couple… I hope I can help make a decision to go or wait… hope it helps. This month it is a battle between Cowoys & Aliens VS Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Categories are Effects, Make-up, Beauties, Baddies, Good Guys, Lore, Skin and ok we will review storyline.. Next Month is Apollo 18 VS Contagion… Let the plagues begin...har Cowboys & Aliens VS Rise of The Planet of the Apes Gear and costumes easily Beauties with Alien Hotty Experimenting Aliens Evil Special Affects Big Win Ceasar you root for big Storyline better andworks Cowboys and Aliens begins with us being disoriented as the main character and then keeps adding pieces of the puzzle surrounding the weapon attached to his wrist. As Apes begins the ending is laid out as many other science project goes wrong movies all do… but we meet our main character thru an act of maternal protection not plague. Ceasar the Ape evolves on screen and thru the eyes and gestures you truly forget he is an Ape many moments only to be reminded when he logically determines some act or Justice needs to be done. It is actually refreshing to see a crappy neighbor get thumped on for being an ass. In the West our Cowboy keeps figuring out his past and with the help of a Hotty Alien in disguise he comes to learn he was not the nicest person on the western block but that back then did have its advantages. The Western towns folk all join forces and band together with… yup Indians to fight the space monsters that are here for our GOLD… .nope they were not Goblins. Ceasar raises his own army from the downtrodden and mistreated Apes in captivity and then teaches them to work as a team. His new Legion rolls out of the darkness in search only of freedom and without killing humans he tries to instill that Killing is Human not Ape behavior… .control is Ape behavior. WINNER… … .Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Transmojoblah... Well, as many of the Crushers have been gamers for over 10 years or more we now see in WoW what we have seen time and time again in other game engines that exceed the 5 yr lifespan… .CRAYONS or FINGER PAINTS!!! Hehehe Actually it is basically the ability to either color or change the rendering or image of what you are wearing to fit some old or design you have dreamed of doing for a long time. They call this on the forums Transmogrification. This is the second addition to the game that puts a portion of design in the hands of the players themselves. The Arcane Reforger was the First ability that came into the game. Now we know that we never will get housing so I guess this is the designers way of giving the players some personalization… but it really is a way to give up some of the control to the players. I betcha the next area will be in the area of CHORES… where we will be able to create some chores from a purchasable or GUILD level rewarded NPC that we then can give our own members GUILD rep as a reward at the same time using the vendor to collect some item(s) that the guild overall may need. We could have used one for the Peacebloom for example to help Uggie! Wobbly News Da Goblins are gearing up after their first runs in rated battlegrounds went… .well quite quick the wrong way… sigh. Peace be with U The collection portion of the contest has ended with Eigun collecting the most Peacebloom in efforts to cure Uglutz rage which has consumed him beyond levels ever registered before. Elders Kailand and Kalea put Peons to work planting the Peaceblooms around the Ancients new home and there is literally no place one can stand or sit that you cannot see or smell the Peaceblooms abundantly now growing at Uglutz new home. It is said that Uglutz was speachless when he arrived after the planting was done earlier. The Poetry submissions are still being accepted and as the Peacebloom begins to work its magic, Elders Kalea and Kailand begin to sort thru the old texts on spells and chants that could be used with the Poetry that is being submitted all in hopes of bringing Uglutz some peace and calm as the days pass. Sadly it seems still the rage that is within the ancient still is lashing out at the innocent… .Elder Scryll seems still to be within the rage focus of his longtime brethren in arms. Keep the faith Elder Scryll help is coming to Uglutz!!! What the … Ya gotta be… . If I… .. Scryll… better not Im Gunna… . Skin… .lord… -Speachless uglutz at home.

Daily Chores and their Rewards I think it is fair to say that all of us have at one point enjoyed the rewards of daily chores but then become to hate the rinse and repeat process to daily chores. Now the new Firelands chores do have stepped and content rewards which I do say are fun to achieve… there still are those old chores that… well we refuse to ever do again. In that pile of old chores spread across the vast lands of Azeroth… there are some chores that are what we call EASY MONEY let alone perhaps the means to achieve… cough cough companion Pets perhaps?!? Some also carry easy Honor points to tally up in the Winter grasp battles. Many times it’s a battle of just 5 on 5 or less, in which if you stick to a plan you can quickly gain 500 honor or nearly half a piece of PvP Gear for a short 10 to 15 minutes. The Fishing and Cookin dailies… easy work and a Skill point or two. While reputations are more quickly achieved via the Heroic Dungeon runs while wearing a tabbard of the faction you target. The gold associated at the 85 level chores is nice and adds up quickly. In a short week or two of committed 25 chores… easily 5000 gold can be had in no time. For Blood Kins (Alts) the Cooking and Fishing dailies are VERY EASY exp gains as well as building up the skills and some lucky drops of rewards in the fishing bag. Who knows you might also catch some of those rares that lurk just under the surface… heheh. New Benefactor As the 4th Quarter of 2011 begins a new relationship begins for T.H.E.

Da Classifieds The Wounded Warrior Project is to receive 33% of all revenues generated by the Clan Commissions Links on TheHonorEmpire.net GUILDWIDE TRADES Elder Scryll has requested all trades wokers to begin building BLOODTHIRSTY wares for outfitting as many Clan Members as possible. If you are able and interested in building up the strength of the Clan please deposit what you can build into the front porch tab of the Clan Bank. Records will be kept and appreciation as well as recognition for your efforts will be done via real world awards this fall as War Games compete

Da Armory The Clan Armory now has yet to activate the final 8th tab and the usage of it has yet to be determined. The Armory recently went thru its Semi-Annual cleaning and if there is an item you would like from the Armory and/or your Blood Kin (alts) please send notice to an Elder or Chief. Elder Scryll has requested that clan trades workers begin crafting BLOODTHIRSTY wares for outfitting as many Blood Kin as possible and especially any members looking to join a Boss Team in the War Games. Great Idea Elder Scryll!!! Garrison News Chieftan Morgh had begun reviews for 2 Elder seats of the Council. At the time of printing he has yet to make a decision but has said there is still one elder to consult with on the matter.. The Quarterly Census has been conducted and the results are in… . There are 65 Souls within the Clan, 37 Male & 28 females, 19 Taurens, 14 of Deadies & Blood Elves, 11 Orcs, 5 Trolls and 2 Goblin. Since The Clan opened to all races, Druids had been the top class… now hunters lead the Clan endeavors. Lost over time is the Troll female main… now none exist within the Clan and only 2 Rogues exist today. The Boss War Games has opened to accept team entries and to date Ascoli’s Overachievers is the only team signed up. In speaking with Chieftan Morgh, he explained the whole purpose of the Boss War Games was to spur the Bosses to become active in building up Clan teamwork thru the War Games. This competition also is to get Grunts and the Kin (Alts) of high ranking members of the clan some activities & fun. If you look at how many souls within the guild and that between 6 & 8 teams would mean only 30 ~ 40 individual souls would be needed for a great event. Given Wobbly Goblins can have 2 on any one team that even opens more options for teams. Speak to a Boss and sign up on a Team TODAY!!! BLOOD n THUNDAH!!! The Origin of the BLOOD n THUNDAH Cohorts of Clan Skullcrusher date back to the original 2 Founders of Skull crusher Orcs. Grulg the Warrior and Uglutz the Shamen. Grulg worshipped the Blood God and Uglutz the Shamen had the power of the elements and with it connection Thunder. Long ago those days the clan classes rallied around the call of BLOOD n THUNDAH… and it stuck to the various columns of specialized forces that reigned down upon Alliance colonies as they spread like a plague across Kalmidor long ago. Chieftan Morgh is still looking for souls interested in diving into some Rated battlegrounds from 8pm till done or exhausted. Additionally Blood kin of Morgh have begun grouping across any evening with other Blood Kin (alts) that are leveling up. The goal is to do Random Dungeon runs to complete the weekly Guild Dungeon runs for gold from the GODz to go into the Treasury. Peon Progress Peons are only accepted into the Clan if they have a BOSS or Higher stand for them and accept them as their Peon… .this would mean we have a potential of 65 Peons… .currently we have 4. of which 2 are designated Permanent Peons due to their real world requirements. QUALITY of Peons is much more important than Quantity… but always look for great new Peons.

Firebases Open Three Firelands Boss areas have officially been declared “FARM STATUS” by Elder Kailand’s advance Strike team. Locking down the whole lower half of the Firelands has yet to be secured. Ragnoros’s forces continue to spawn and the area is still dangerous to the under equipped or inexperienced raider. Elder Kailands team have slowed their offense and begun to strengthen their primary assault team as well as begin to bring up their reserves to the fight in order to put more boots on the ground as they move against the unyielding defenders of Ragnoros in the Firelands as it is today. The Skullcrusher strike force has begun to break down the forces and defenses of the remaining defending Bosses; Balaeroc, Alysarzors and Major Domo. After some great battles that ebbed and flowed with each side taking the momentum… . There have been moments of GLORY for the Clan as territorial victories have occurred … temporarily “These Fireland forces have deeper pockets of support but yield even greater PLUNDER for the Clan… securing these under farming status is a priority but yet achieved” Kailand also went on to say That there is a vexing odd power that seems to be “affecting the female units of the raid group.” Majordomo summons a pair of ginormous balls that mezmorize for moments some of the team, once they realize they are not there for entertainment The team gets back to the job at hand… well at least in the mind we hope it is still a job.
