Shihli's time is up

Shihli — Wed, 03/31/2010 - 02:54

Told myself I wouldn't make a big thing out of this.  I know I grump about people making huge-assed posts on the website when they quit, so I won't be doing that.

Suffice to say, my account expires April 1st, and no doubt most of you haven't exactly seen me online much if at all the past couple of weeks.  If you're that curious about why I quit, feel free to send me a PM.  I don't want to make a big deal out of it.

That being said, I'll still be a personality on the website and I may make an appearance at the guild meet-up this year, money- and job-permitting.  That is to say, I still have no job, but God help me if I don't have one by August.

I did want to take a moment, though, to say something.  I wish all of <Downfall> the best in your endeavors, both in-game and in real life.  I know times are tough for Kitten Brigade and Salmon alike, with significant raider turnover going on.  I would normally say that my quitting the game wouldn't be helping, however I do know that there are a good number of people that "disagreed" with my particular brand of leadership.  Just know that I did my best under the circumstances that I was given, and if I insulted, hurt, or otherwise negatively-effected you I am sorry for that.  Know that it was not my intention.

I should hope that in the wake of my departure, things only get better for the raids and for the guild at large.

For those of you that wish to stay in contact that haven't already done so with me, send me a PM and I'll trade email addresses and/or phone numbers, should you so desire.

This ended up being bigger than I intended.  I guess it's hard to simply walk away from something that you've given five years of your life towards.  I guess that should be expected.

Either way, peace.

It has been a great run.

Roronek — Tue, 03/23/2010 - 18:56

Hey guys, I have been a part of this guild for almost a year now, I have raided with you guys since ulduar and It has been tons of fun. However, I think it is time that I stopped playing WoW indefinetely.

This might seem inopportune for Salmon (especially since it was in the middle of a raid), but I honestly did not get off on purpose. My internet cut out on me and is still wonky (I am typing this from my neightbors internet, which isn't good enough for WoW).  With my WoW subscription running out tomorrow I figure it was a sign to just stop playing at this point and not drag it out any longer.  I know I told some of Group 3 in Salmon that I would stick it out to the Lich King, but honestly I am not sure how long it will take us to down him and I am not sure if I want to pledge the money to play 9 hours a week any more.

I had some great times with you all and I hope to stay friends with most of you on Facebook. 

 

Good Luck and Have Fun,

Roronek, aka Cormac Prosser

My Book Review Blog

Boann — Mon, 03/22/2010 - 20:18

If any of you find that you have five or ten extra minuets on the internet and just don't know how to spend them I've got a suggestion for you. Go take a look at my book review blog, Boann's leabhran ait, on blogger. I just reviewed Silverfall, by Ed Greenwood. This is a stand alone Forgotten Realms book about the seven daughters of Mystra. Thanks for taking the time to read my silly blog post. ;-D

Attn Aeolyn, it may be time.

This message is also benefitial to hunters who feel they are getting close to chasing armor penetration gems.

 

I ran your gear through some number crunching, and you might find it worth your while to gem full Armor Penetration and go Marksmanship.  While you currently get more benefit from agility than from ArP, you have the gem space to successfullly make the cross over into armor penetration superiority.

With gems, you can hit 914 Armor Penetration.  Get yourself a nice ArP stat stick(s).

I recommend http://www.wowhead.com/?item=51022 Off of Blood Prince 10 man.

If you can't get that, gun for dual wielding (26 agility on each):
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50411 (Gunship 25)
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50183 (Dreamwalker 25)

 

Picking up either of those puts you over 1000 ArP and in shape to do some really nice Marksmanship damage.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  Or go pester Lumi, I hear he's already doing it.  :P

Edit:  Changed the title, the caps looked menacing.  :(

Texas Bound

Kerilyn — Thu, 03/18/2010 - 15:12

Hey looks like Rayne is Texas bound. I know a couple of DF folks are in the area. I had a proposal for those of you that do. Would anyone will willing to house the S.O. with funding from myself? Maybe we can work out something. My employment will start may 10th and run through august 21st. Then I will be off to Florida for a more permanent job as costume intern. Any help with this texas bit would be greatly appreciated, i can also offer free tickets to Texas Musical Drama if you'd be interested.

retirement from 25 man raiding.

Grasen — Thu, 03/18/2010 - 11:19

Hi yall.    It;s a sad day for me as I make decisions reguarding my life.  Many of you know that my life has been in shambles these past couple mo....many of you don't.  I'v made a couple big changes in the past few mo.   And as sad as it makes me I must make another to move forward.   I;ve had a great ride on this drug called raiding.   That ride can't last forever though and will now come to an end.   Thank you to all who have made raiding great.   I will miss raiding with yall.  I'll still be on alot and will still see you all in game.   And many of you will soon be looking down the sights of my bow from an enemy standpoint as my horde hunter nears on 80. (i'm lvl 66)   There's been great times and I look forward to haveing more from a casual standpoint.    Good luck to you KB.  You will be missed.
