WoW catch up

The conversations on /BG (/battleground) have reduced my opinion of the average WoW player down to less than zero. Some of the "charming" topics from the last 48 hours:
1) The benefits and drawbacks of using spit as lube when raping women. (Seriously. Conversation went on for twenty minutes, and if these people were to be believed, most of them have raped in the past. Yes, I know they were lying, but still! Who would claim to have raped! Gah! Idiots!)
2) The ability of one to have sex with bacon and the willingness of one to eat that bacon after. (The general agreement was that you should have sex with it while it was raw, then cook it and eat it...)
3) A whole conversation based off this comment... (Tiny screenshot, but NWS for ideas through text.)

Thankfully naikitty mentioned that she has /bg filtered into another window and then ignores that window, so I tried that as well. So much better! Seriously! Days upon days of endless hours of listening to these little assholes holding the worst conversations on the planet, arguing about the stupidest crap, and acting all e-thug at each other. It was making me physically sick to my stomach.

On to better things!

How's this for something? Two weeks ago, my reps were split between neutral and friendly. (I haven't quested since level 18 or so.)

All that is from turning in blood/armor bits in AV! Woo!

Other high points related to that: I have a "real" wolf now, an Org rep one. I own the AV one and the Black War Wolf, but the Org ones are my favorite, so yay!

How in the world does one do this? I've never seen graphics used before, other than the logo when a GM talks to you.


25K down, 75K to go! x.x


Can anyone tell me what this is? I think he was a warlock. Eee cool wings! I wish I could have gotten a better picture of it, but he had purple-black wings and his body was the same color. So pretty!

A bull in a chef's hat? Poor Crowfeathers is sooooooooo ugly! When I look at my login screen Keen is so bright and colorful and sexy... and right below him is dark, blah, colorless uglycow.

That's about it! Tomorrow I should get Cold Weather Flying for Keen, eeee! Mining and engineering have been worked on. Mining is close to 300 and engineering is nearly 300 as well. I hate mining so very very very much! (But I've always hated metals. I took a metalworking class in college and hated it. I hated blacksmithing endlessly in FFXI. So I guess it makes sense that I hate mining as well!)

The symbols in chat are the same symbols you can place above mobs' heads as a group leader. I can't remember the exact syntax but you're able to write something like [star] in chat and it will show the symbol instead.

And congratulations on the 25K HKs. I think I may have like 1000 on my rogue. I wasn't very good at PvP. :P

Yeah, it looked like those raid order marking symbol things, but I had no idea they could be put into chat! That's pretty cool, I'll have to try it tonight.

Thanks! The very, very, very strange thing is that you can be the worst PvPer on the server and still get numbers like that. You get credit for all the kills made by everyone around you... It's wacky and I'm not sure what the point of it is at all. If I'm in a BG with 40 other people (like AV) I get credit anytime anyone of those 40 people makes a kill...

They're the same kind of brackets you use to encapsulate code (such as a while loop) in the most popular programming languages.

{star}
{cross} (for the x)
{circle}
{diamond}
{skull} (my favorite)
{moon}

all I can think of off the top of my head.

Ha! I'm going to have to remember to try that!

I think if you're put into combat (you know the little crossed knives symbol by your portrait) by whoever they're fighting, then it considers you a participant and you get credit.

Hmmmm. I don't think so. When I play AB, I only defend. If I were in combat, I wouldn't be able to move into stealth, yet I do and the HKs pour in. (Took me a moment to think about that, because I don't generally look at if I'm in combat or not when I'm in a BG, but then I remembered how annoyed I get when I can't stealth and have to waste vanish instead.) In AV, sometimes I fall under a bridge (or hide in some bushes if I need to eat or take a call), and HKs still gather...

Maybe that's how it's supposed to work (it would make sense), but the code is buggy?
