I'm bored like Locher, but there are stars out tonight so... star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have my wish granted tonight....

Ok Fel, this is the part where you miraculously come online and post a new chapter to Subjugation or Demon's bane...

Ah.... suck! Guess wishes don't come true. And I bet the easter bunny is fake also!

ROFL

yah yah yah.

Binter dinged 75 yesterday, so I'll be picking up the writing in a few days, after I grind about 10 AAs. Won't take long.

Ah grinding... may I count thy ways and times...
I've done that on so many games... I wish it worked in real life, then my wife would be a better cook.... Thank God my wife doesn't check this forum...

hehe, I'm trying to get my mage to 60 in WOW, but keep getting tied up with my main toon (shaman) and doing raids or out making cash, I can't wait for the expansion, so I can grind again to get both toons to 70 (mage right now is 50)

Gotta love time sinks...

Speaking of that time, it's that time.

I should start on the next chapter of Demon's Bane sometime this week. I just have a few minor things to do IRL, and I should have time.

WAHOO!!! Are you done yet are you done yet are you done yet are you done yet are you done yet are you done yet.... sorry.... Got a little excited there.

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what's grinding?

Sounds like the tedious period of time you spend leveling up a character by repeatedly killing the same monsters, but I'm not sure.

For not being sure, you've managed a bullseye.

That's exactly what grinding is. Spending an inordinate amount of time killing the same thing, regardless of what it gives in cash/items because it's easy to kill and gives decent xp.

See 69.1 Hard for an example. LOL

Grinding isn't only referred to in regards to leveling up, it's generally (at least in the games I've played in) the term for doing something specific (killing monsters, collecting herbs, repeating quests, etc) for extended periods of time to achieve a single specific goal (eg. gaining a level, making money, crafting something, etc).

Grinding quickly becomes boring, often tedious, due to the constant repetition, therefor is generally not done with great enthusiasm (at least, not after a while).
For example, in World of Warcraft I recently spent an inordinate amount of time doing the same instance over and over because i wanted to reach the highest reputation level with a certain faction. Now that I've accomplished that, I plan to never step foot in there again.

Now was that scholo for AD rep, ZG for Zalander tribe rep or one of the AQ's for brood/CC rep?

Yeah I play World of Warcraft I have a 60 priest in tier 2, a 60 rogue in blues and I'm currently leveling a mage (at 27 at the moment)

Btw watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8hfK3RQs2g&search=

It was AD (needed to get Naxx attuned, and I'm too cheap to buy the revered entry), I'm already exalted with ZT and CC is still in the works (want the mace). Yes, priest here too, (almost) full T2 (coulda had the shoulders if i hadn't been too tired to join one raid).

As for the video, I've seen it, and I still believe that to be utter BS. Any parent that lets their 15 year old child drop out of school to play something all day long isn't doing their job. And instead of trying to fix it, they call the media so we can once again blame everything on the big bad video games. *pfah!*

My thoughts were the same, the mother looked like a crack whore and he probably wouldn't listen to her if he wasn't playing WoW anyway

Go Go blaming a game on parenting issues.

So back to the original intent of this thread... wishing... hmm, the stars didn't help... so the horoscope is not going to work. Hmm, maybe I can assertain an idea of when fel will write again from reading my tea leaves?

*makes tea, drinks tea.....

*forgets not to drink leaves also

*makes tea, drinks tea .... (not leaves)

*tea leaves form the head of the "grim"

CRAP!!! snake eyes again! And no story. I don't know which one is worse, no story, or the fact that the tea leaves say I'm going to die... probably that there is no story.

There's been a delay to starting writing again...IRL issues I thought I could get cleared up by now are proving resistant. I'm gonna do my best to get to work on the next chapter tomorrow.
