Thank Yous

By | November 26, 2009

Even clichés have their place, and being thankful on American Thanksgiving is an acceptable one. So today, instead of beating the Pilgrim’s Bounty achievement to death, I think we should take stock in what we are thankful for. Thank you for taking your time with Arthas. Seriously. Thank you the Zombie invasion. Thank you for [...]

Pilgrim’s Bounty

By | November 23, 2009

All right, I admit it — all I’ve done so far with Pilgrim’s Bounty is plop down at a table, eat, and throw food at people (Lyr, at Rosie, which probably would have been IC if we weren’t trying to snag 74 before a Naxxramas run…) But the quest text that introduces the holiday has [...]

Friday Fic: Snapshot Time!

By | November 20, 2009

The last snapshot post went over well, so here’s another. In a small paragraph, tell other readers what your characters plans are post the war with Arthas! ***** Yva: “To settle down for a time, I think. I’ve done a lot of traveling in a little time, and perhaps I ought to see about changing [...]

Scouring the Patch Notes

By | November 19, 2009

As a general rule, I avoid patch notes unless my friends are saying, “no, seriously, this is crazy!” The last time I remember reading notes, it was for patch 1.9 wherein I QQ with the best of them. But today I am totally out of idea for a post. It may have to do with [...]

Aelflaed “Uther’s Balls, Bert. I thowt ye… an’ Stratholme. An’ ye foun’ me here? … bloody hell.” She stood up, looking him clean in the face, eye to eye, before looking away. “Aye, bloody hell’s about the size of it. Been through it once, looks like tomorrow we get to do it all again. How [...]

Communication Fail.

By | November 17, 2009

I wanted to elaborate on a tangential topic to Bricu’s Post about the difference between a player being a bastard and a character being a bastard. He suggested OOC communication was the key to keeping the wires uncrossed, and I agree, but I wanted to expound upon GOOD methods of communication versus bad. Yes, there [...]

Friday Fic: Rag Doll

By | November 13, 2009

Rag doll Originally uploaded by Billy Rowlinson Today’s Friday Fic, written by our very own Yva, is about a woman sewing a rag doll. This rag doll might as well be made of Gun Cotton and radioactive thread. When this pile of rags is added to the fuel that is already burning in Old Town, [...]

The Consequences of Being a Bastard

By | November 12, 2009

Anna stated here that there is a ton of RP afoot in the Pig And Whistle (on Feathermoon) these days. While the RP is good and powerful storytelling, this does not mean that it is consequence free: In fact, dear readers, one of the reasons why this particular RP is successful is the ability to [...]

Wrathgate Wednesday: Scars and Fells

By | November 11, 2009

Aftermath by ~lil-black-bird on deviantART Not every character in WoW is a warrior-model. Some have some thick scars stemming from a life before the starting zone. Nykkolaia and Illithias are two examples of characters whose scars have meaning. Nykkolaia was a fire mage who was on her way to becoming a Rider when she Real [...]
