30 Day Writing (RP!) Meme: Day Eighteen ||| And WoW

[thistlechaser]

Now and then I get embarrassingly angry on WoW. I asked the GMs for another name to be freed, and this time I had less hope of it being approved. (Someone on Alliance had it, I could friend it.) Still, it was under level 10, so I asked.

Three days later, I got a reply. They freed it, with the usual "it's free for anyone, so use it fast if you want it" message. Logged off, tried to make it... it was already taken. I seriously pondered deleting my account then and there. This was yet another example of people who work full time jobs losing out on stuff and being behind those who can play 24/7. (Which, really, is a stupid thing to be mad about. I get bored playing WoW as much as I do! I don't want to play it all day and all night... but try to make me remember that when I lose out on something due to work.)

Anyway, stewing and fuming and pondering quitting, I tried over and over to get the name. Who knows what I was expecting (the person who got it to change their mind within the hour and delete?), but, amazingly, on the fifth try I got it. I have no idea what happened, I can't imagine the GM sending the reply before the name was finished being released...

So anyway, now I have Keen! Kianlar tells everyone his name is Keen, not one single person ICly knows his real name, plus he pretends to be a warrior, so I thought it would be good to have Keen the warrior (come Cata anyway, he's a belf). Leveled him to 10 tonight, so hopefully now the name is safely mine.

18. Favorite antagonist and why!

Getting tired of this meme. I should stop and pick it up at some future date. zzz

This answer will be odd, as I can't remember the character's name. On GarouMUSH, I played a serial rapist/murderer. More than that the character was oddles of fun to play, it was a great example of how well working with a staffer could work. I approached the wizard with my idea (I'm pretty sure it was accipiter/Tiski(sp?) ). He had me do an app that was half-character, half-TP. Once approved, he helped me by posting things (so it wouldn't be under my character's name), and keeping me reasonable ("no, you can't kill every night, he would have been caught by now if he killed that quickly...").

I knew going in that the character would die, it was how I wanted the story to end and also was a condition of the app being approved. It actually happened a little sooner than I wanted, but still, it made for some amusing times and I really enjoyed playing whatever his name was.

I think it was Joshua?

Oooh, I think you're right!

You know how irrationally raegful I get when I miss out on something due to being a functional adult with a full time job, I do not have to tell you I feel your pain.

HA ha, small world again, the last party I went to in my old town was thrown by Accipiter.

Oooh, did you get to see his bird? I LOVE HIS LJ SO MUCH!

[teaandfailure.livejournal.com]

I did! Watching him fly them is just freaking amazing. My brother told me that for a while around the college campus here where he went to catch squirrels, they called him the Beastmaster.

SO COOL! :D

Have I mentioned that I'm about to start playing a Werewolf: The Apocalypse game IRL? I'm gonna be a ragabash wendigo (pardon my spelling if it's off, I've never done it before). I have a fetish, a lighter that turns off uncomplicated light sources within like fifteen feet of me. I can't wait to maul people's heads off.

You didn't, but that's so cool! It's a fun game! And no worries, I don't remember how to spell anything anymore. Been years!

Hee! Did you know that's in Harry Potter, too? One of the later movies! :D

I was all excited when I came up with the idea. Then our storyteller told me that. What a bonerkill! But I think it's neat enough, and since I came up with it by myself, I'm gonna stick with it. I still think it'll be awesome to be a thieving werewolf.

Did you know fire was first harnessed in the southernmost part of Africa, and within 100 years the proto-humans in the northernmost part of Africa had it? And it takes them more than 100 years to walk from the southernmost to northernmost part? So this should be impossible! *blows minds!* But in truth, they both just discovered it independently!

Note: I can't remember if it was fire, the wheel, or some special kind of spearhead. Or the amount of time it took to walk between the two places. Or if both were in Africa. But you get the idea behind the story! And if something like fire/wheel/spearhead could be invented by two different groups, something logical like the lighter makes sense!

Haha now you're becoming a real WoW player!

"I don't have kings?! FUCK THIS SHIT! RAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEEE!!!11!"

I was running some Heroics on my shaman and listening to a group in a 10m VoA and apparently the Paladin didn't give out kings until everyone was ready to go at the ice boss and a couple of them were flipping out in vent like it was the end of the world. It was freaking hilarious! XD

I know! After it was over, I sat there frowning and wondering 'Was that that nerdrage thing I always read about?'. I DIDN'T THINK IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME!
