Nonverbal communication

Posted 03/19/08 at 5:32 PM by Oggie
I've recently been thinking a bit about how communication works in the real world as opposed to the alternative one that spawned these boards initially, and that so many people play now (or honestly, pick one). Or more precisely, how it does not work and how this hurts us.

I'm pretty horrible at personal nonverbal skills, and if you want to hear about why tough because this is not the place for that. It does however lead to a good deal of thought on the various signals people use...

Retro tanking while, ya know, drunk.

Okay, last night I got ninja yanked into a group doing Morogrim and Hydross because we're on 'friendly' relations with their guild (two people in guild are officers of theirs). Both were bosses they've downed so no guilt on 'overpowering' content or anything.

It did through vague seeds of drunkeness, however, bring up a point. Given the option, and that my Hydross gear is pretty much 100% 'Of Protection' I farmed from the auctionhouse (except leggings which are T6 because I...

Tankadin tricks

Posted 03/14/08 at 3:49 PM by Oggie
So I'm seriously thinking about attempting to solo BM normal. I've heard from more than a couple sources that it's quite possible, god knows I'm out of raids for the week unless I help another guild zomghulksmash some T5 stuff, I'm a pretty asstastic spec anyway, and good lord I have far too much disposable income.


Oddly, I'm geniunely more nervous about this than I was on, ya know, Illidan.

As for spec, I'm thinking a full swap for Reck from onehand spec will...

Okay, if you don't want a rant go elsewhere. This be my blog, f'in deal.


That said.


Look, I'm the Group Nazi for my guild. I was the Gem Nazi, and as a result we have 20+ surplus of EVERY gem. Rather than thanks I get bitched at by mages by making them take [Design: Inscribed Pyrestone] instead of [Design: Bold Crimson Spinel], but you know, I can deal with that.

But seriously, bitching because you don't get a shadowpriest on a fight you can live without? Claiming that...

Introductions and the like....

Posted 03/14/08 at 12:36 PM by Oggie
Well I'm nobody special, but god knows I talk a lot and memorize far too many facts than can possibly be good for me.

Currently I'm one of three MTs in a guild that killed Illidan some months behind anyone you'd know. I peruse the EJ forms with a moderately unhealthy obsession and a wpm that most people think I'm lying about. I am indeed a prot paladin, and god knows you'll hear about it enough, be it bitching about silences or the lack of a prot pally weapon (no, seriously, don't...
