Rarebit Dreams of Animals

I am warrior, hear me roar

Okay truth be told...I'm not doing right by MadHare.

She's a perky lil warlock...ready to wreak havoc with her minions/buddies.

But when I send her out into the field, she dies. I can not seem to keep my girl alive. And it is hard to be fearsome when you are sprawled out dead and doing corpse runs. And frankly, how am I suppose to keep my minions enthralled if I embarrass them by getting consistently knocked out by "you no take candle" ratlings? My imp and blueberry are so pretending they don't know MadHare.

/sigh. Need to study "how to play a warlock"

So, I've told her to rest up a bit. She and Cynishade are all cozy in their deck chairs, working on their tans.

And I've rolled a warrior for the Sidhe Devils: Rarebit.

Ooooh aaaaah, I've never played a warrior: they are *fantastic*

Why is there always a dearth of warriors for Pugs/LFG channel?

Why isn't everyone rolling warrior?

Yes, I'm a simple gal: give me a big sword and shiny armor and let me go out and smash things.

(note to self: please Rarebit, study tanking before you embarrass yourself in an instance)

Ding!..........now what?

howdy folks,

Cynishade is resting on his laurels....has his feet up, has popped a noggenfogger elixir, and Ajax is curled on his cat bed purring.

The boy hit level 70. First level 70 for this crew.

Frankly we are not sure what to do now..............

we bought our flying mount....

we've heard sumpin about dailies....

time to level up first aid?

Indy Love

Crumpets?

Cyn, a mullet doesn't make you Snake

Cynishade:

Solid Snake would be so proud of me.

I grabbed an orange box like Snake would have and the demons in Shadowmoon Valley did not have a clue!

Okay I was hating on my Jane Fonda headband. But Snake wears one 'cept he calls it a sweatband. And everyone thinks he is dead sexy.....................I'll tell the truth, I'm seriously considering a mullet. Me with a Snakish mullet would transform that headband into a sweatband. Am I right or am I right?

And the Blood Elfs would stop sniggering at me.

Dude, mullet FTW!!

Here's my Solid Snake moment:

'cause Wulfa asked: factions, schmactions

Beowulfa asked about the Aldor and Scyers, " what exactly am I looking forward to? What is this faction thing?"

All right, here's my answer:

World of Warcraft is built on the premise of factions. This is WARcraft....it is not a game about neutrality. Ya can't be Sweden. Blizzard hammers that home straight off: you want to play? You start the game by choosing between the two major factions: Alliance or Horde.

What's a faction? As WowWiki puts it, a faction is a group of joes allied by race or the same ideological stance. Sort of like the Jets and the Sharks. Or Pepsi vs. Coke drinkers. Or those who put the mayo on the bread vs. those who put it on the meat when they make a sandwich. As you complete some quests and activities, you build reputation with various factions. (Yup, it's totally a popularity contest).

Now some factions are not at each others throats (like, oh say, the Alliance and the Horde). I'm pretty sure that the Sporeggars can give two pips about what the Netherwings are doing.

But some factions are all worked up about some other faction and vice versa. The Aldors, a bunch of Dranei, really don't care for the Scyers. The Scryers, a bunch of blood elves, feel the same about the Aldors. However, both of them hang out in Shattrah. Oooooh, what to do? They are sharing the same neighborhood. Have to walk by each other on the street.

Their solution? Divvy up Shattrah. Each has their own platform. If you are not allied with them, well they ask most respectfully that you get your butt off their platform before they kick you off it.

Here's a link that'll explain the lore and the rewards behind these two factions.

And here's a link that compares the Aldor and Scryer rewards and why you might want to choose one over the other.
