Memoirs of a 中国人

So I'm gonna go see the movie tonight, but it really bugs me that the people playing Japaneese people look so Chineese, anyone else notice that? Maybe as I watch it I'll get immersed and forget about it because I'm sure they are exellent actors; but when I see those perviews of Chineese people dressing like Japaneese it just looks wierd. Comments?

What'd you get for xmas?

This is the place to show off all the phat lewts! Go for it!

Its the same staff, it calls the other on a 30 min cool down. both can be buffed sepratily, like one +22 int other +30 spell damage or whatever.

Jekyll has the eye and the eye of shadows. http://www.thotbott.com/?i=37476
350G in ah.... or 0.3% drop rate off some elite guys in Winterveil also drop off of world raid boss. I need to look into it more.

But even thought these quests are solo (meaning if your helped you will fail instantly) there are ways to help. pots.. possibly even totems if done in the right possition.

I may respec for the purpose of this quest.


2 things, I'd like help w/, mats possibly totems for quest attempt, and to farm... *yuck* but maybe i can get people who arn't 60 yet to help so atleast we can get exp out of it for the eye of shadow. (order not spacific).

Fabled Drops Rag!

Grats Mar and Alk, who melted face today (which is really quite impressive considering Rag is already on fire.) We killed Domo and Rag both on first attempt, and it was quite the wtfbbqpwnage.

Voice communication?

So I'm getting more into teh Battlegrounds and it's got me wondering, do any of you guys use voice communication? If so, what software? If not, should we? I guess it doesn't matter as much when we do not have max size BG groups but anyway I'm curious.

Growing Frustration

Okay this is bit more from my lack of accully trying, but i've been burned a few time organizing anything other than ToC groups... Well.

I guess I'll ask you for ya'lls help. I need 1 more Skin of shadows then an easy trip to DM Liabrary. For my +8 spell/healing head/pant enchant which, mixed with friendly rep of ZG (one more run for me will grind it) a priest voodoo doll, and one Hakkari Tabard (purple drop) Will get me a much nicer pant/head enchant.
Enchant does somehting like this
+42 to healing
+10 stm
Mana over time

sorry, at work can't link accully enchant.


But I need to get through Sholo... So, My plan is to run it in 30 min or less

Here is how I'd like to do it.

Blaze though killing only needed crap (over 5 man is good, this way people like Ivers can join.. even sherie should come.)
Skip unneeded bosses.
However, I do have blood of innocence if we want to do that one quest.
Kill the one guy in the basement (place w/ bones though the welps)
Get key
Fight back to door (open, this is un pickable)
skip though the daisies, and fight the bottem left room for skin
(yay done)

should take a group over 5 less than 35 min.
If I'm the only healer groovie...

If you guys wana take more time and kill everything, okay.

How about thursday night (tonight)?

Screw wife faction unless they come.

Scheduled Server Outage

Some of you may have noticed this site was down for a short time yesterday. We had an environmental power outage. Sorry about the trouble.

Now for the scheduled downtime. Power is being shut off to the entire facility here for two days on the 22nd and 23rd of this month. The purpose is to connect a new building to the main power feed, and to take advantage of the downtime to do maintenance on that feed. Unless I feel like coming over here on the 24th and powering everything back on, the server may actually be down for some time. I'll try to put together an email list with all the members on it some time between now and then so we still have a communication channel.

Off Topic: P-A RSS Feed

Anyone else read Penny-Arcade via their RSS feed? For the last few weeks every time I try to get to it I just get a parse error back, and as such I haven't been able to load it into my RSS reader.

PlayOn data collection

Here's a PlayOn article on character gender in WoW. Ho, hum...

However, we get a peek at their data collection strategy. Turns out they have their own mod and it appears they have 'data collection characters' that roam about one or more servers.

For some reason, I just thought they had a deal with Blizzard and got their data directly from them... This means that data analysis of the quality/quantity PlayOn do is more imminently at hand than I had thought. I just have to get off my ass and write mod that will collect the data that I want.

Wait. What data do I want?

Visitors should be particular about civilization. Musn't vomit sputum wherever in the tour area and don't throw up the rubbishes.
