Shocking Blood Elf Rudeness in Eversong Woods! Also a Troll and her Flamingo - 2008-05-15 05:54:42

It's no surprise that Blood Elves are uppity creatures - we all knew this. But I have to admit I was a bit shocked by their treatment of my poor troll hunter. Well, to be fair, the attitude of one blood elf in particular. I rolled the character to attend an event off my usual server (and then sadly couldn't make it) but had fun getting my usual flamingo pet and then leveling up a bit in Eversong Woods just so I'd then be able to travel around without aggroing things for miles. I love that whole area - nice quests, a good bit of humor, interesting scenery and architecture.

So my troll was over at Farstrider Retreat and went to Paelarin the Bowyer, thinking that I'd be able to repair and buy arrows from him.

But no....nothing but attitude from this blood elf:

Big Red Kitty and Ratshag's Running of the Bulls, Part 3: The Videos! The Reports From Other Blogs! - 2008-05-14 17:57:53

For those of you who just can't get enough of the concept of a bunch of bulls in purple shirts running amuck (yes, it's probably overkill, but I can't help myself) - there are videos online!

Here's a great video of the run with a good Flogging Molly song as a soundtrack. (I'm a big Flogging Molly fan.) And most importantly it's only (roughly) 3 minutes long:

Running of Da Bulls, wincefish


This is edited to high speed so even though it takes you all the way to Ironforge it only takes 3 minutes. Ends with death in Ironforge tunnel to tram.

Running of the Bulls, Part 2: On to Ironforge! - 2008-05-14 16:54:26

So because we just hadn't had enough of the tauren death run it was quickly decided that the mob should press on to Ironforge.

So we'd made it to Hammerfall in Arathi, but we just had to push on to Ironforge because many of us had just not had enough of the whole death run thing. It's nice to know that there are other people who get into this kinda thing.

The hardest push when you run to Ironforge is to actually get past the guards - and there are guards everywhere, all up and down the hill, and then especially at the gate.

Dying on the hill going up was expected - and remember, most of us are levels 2 and 3.

Big Red Kitty and Ratshag's Running of the Bulls (Part 1) - 2008-05-14 16:41:41

May 3 Running of the Bulls
I have a long history of hopping into Warcraft fun runs whenever there's a call out for participants on the net. I do this whenever I can find out about them via blogs or forums - because I'm a screenshot junky and because I consider these trips research for ideas on how to organize our own guild fun runs. Plus I always enjoy myself - nothing like a good death run to make for a fun afternoon.

So when two well known bloggers - Big Red Kitty (also seen on Wow Insider) and Ratshag (the blogger who brought the great Noggenfogger Roulette game to my attention) - decided to host a level 1 tauren runI was definitely going to be there.

Big Red Kitty's announcement of the Bull Run - the details:
The BRK/Ratshag Cinco de Mayo Running of Da Bulls!!
Take some deep breaths, calm down, take a chill-pill. Yes, BRK and Team Ratshag are going to combine forces and let humanity… er, bullanity loose in Kalimdor. If we don’t get 500 Taurens across the continent and into Shattrath City, we’ll consider this a big flop. Details to follow, but this much is certain: it ain’t gonna be on the 5th of May; too much competition.

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008! 7pm EDT (11pm GMT) on Cenarian Circle server. Not server time, look closely. 7pm Eastern Standard Daylight time. Make adjustments for your time zone as required.

Same basic rules as before:
Make a level 1 Tauren, any class, either gender
No XP, only the clothes on your back
The route shall be developed in conjunction with Ratshag, our Horde Expert
First one to the finish line gets UNLIMITED POWER!

And for those interested in more details:
Big Red Kitty's maps of the route we ran.
Ratshag's How To, and Explanation of Sharvan Tribute.

May 3 Running of the BullsA guild member/friend of theirs had died recently - Sharvan - and they decided to dedicate the run to her.
Big Red Kitty on Sharvan Tribute:
It shall be neither canceled nor delayed. There will be a voluntary 500 Moo Salute before the start of the race, for she would’ve loved that. You honestly have no idea how much she would’ve laughed at the idea, and we cannot help but hope she’ll get to see it somehow.


So this was both a fun run - and a sweet idea of a tribute to a friend.
So I created a level 1 tauren and logged in 30 minutes before the run started - and there were already a LOT of people already there.
Er, a lot of tauren I mean.

RSS Feed...Is This Thing On? Hello? Also Penny Arcade Contest - 2008-04-29 14:34:12

From the Furbolg desk...So I'm twiddling around with RSS feeds (thanks to programmer husband for the advice) and I think maybe I have it up and working. Currently I do have to add things by hand, but we're working on code for that. But do pop in here and let me know if things are or aren't working! Mind you, you don't have to stay subscribed to the feed - just give it a shot and you can then immediately desubscribe. I'm more interested in whether this works or not. I'll pop a link to this on the sidebar once we've tested it a few times.

Click here for RSS feed!

Meanwhile last week Penny Arcade announced its contest winners for "Wow stories in only 10 words." They had over 30,000 entries - imagine going through that many emails?! These were my favorites of the ones they posted:

Patrons of all taverns knew well the hero's name: LleggolazXxX. - Bryan Climer
The softball game against Middle-Earth was canceled due to wyverns. - Dave 0
I kill. But not for vengeance. For really neat pants. - Eric Westman
"You're a disgrace to Tauren culture," said the shaman Lolhamburger. - Erin
"Small trogg problem in Orgrimmar's basement." What an understatement, Thrall. - Claire Plouff
Adhemar grunted in frustrated anguish; this ruin, too, lacked bathrooms. - Adam Black
Circle the Barrens, stalking your prey. Return to me. Repeat. - Dana Lacoste
In PVP Realms, if a player waves, I kill them. - (Also) Jeremy Murphy
“Killed by a raid,” Thrall’s sign said. “Back at 6.” - John Murphy
"Stop making sound effects for spells," she said. "It's annoying." - Ryan Jurado
"Why can't you skin Taurens?" he asked innocently, "...or Humans?" - Brian Thomas


And while I'm at it - since I've noticed this on other blogs - I'm adding a Technorati Profile link. Just to see the spidery fun that might do.
