Pinecone

Oki, just a reminder. This sunday at 8 pm server time. Stories posted after there will not be counted! Piney

((Something like this. I am sure that is talent in the guild. It can be a story, a joke or pulling Baracko's Tail!)) "Thrall himself sent me. Cannot let him down. They need troops in the Outland, he said. The Outland.. Well, this will be exciting. I cannot, however, stop fearing getting disconnected with the Goddess. Just this land. So barren, so fractured. The explosion must really have been fearfull to watch. I guess this rock is as good as place as anything for resting. I can only hope that the lightning will die down over the course of the night. Otherwise there will not be much rest." Making a fire to keep the critters away, Pinecone sits up against the large rock to get some cover for the weather. All through the night he feels someone is watching, and he hears ogres trambling around. When the light starts to show on the horison Pinecone is ready to continue his journey. Tired of this place, tired of the lightning, tired of this never-ending war, he packs his bags and sets off to the south, where he have heard the portal should be standing. "Noone is supposed to be punished this way. At least give him death", Pinecone thought, before taking a Broken One out of his misery. Hours had he been on the road, and the adrenalin had started to flow through his veins again. The spirits could not get enough, he could feel the rage getting a hold of him in anticipation of the new land. NO! Quelling the beast, Pinecone walked into the tall pass surrounding the crater at the portal. Looking so large there in the distance, he could not help wonder of the creatures that could pass that portal, should it be failed to be protected. The beast in him stirred around in anticipation of the blood. "There it lies. The last camp before the gate. Thrall should have sent a messenger, making them expect me. Hopefully it came through. I think I will stay here for the night. Get the last information from the other side, then head through the portal in the morning." The next morning. The third day he had spent in the storm of the Blasted Lands, he was ready. No matter what could be on the other side, it was better than this. Constantly fighting against the beast, the lightning and the uncertainty of what the future would bring took its toll on Pinecone. Feeling much older than he had for a long time, he got the last information from the portal guardians, and set out for the gate. Huge the structure was. Looking inside of it was like getting the insides turned out. Turning around he took a last view of Azeroth. "Good luck", he thought and after sending a little prayer to the Goddess, turned and stepped through the portal.

I think it is important to keep the core of the guild in first priority. We are a RP guild. Or that was at least what I entered. Raids and PvP done for lootzies has to be a second priority. Looking at the AD forum we are still listed as a medium RP rated guild. And I just do not see much of it. It have slowly been running out, and now there is not much left. And I think it is sad, because it does seem that Clan Skullcrusher is a guild with a good reputation, but it seems to me that it came from the RPing and not the raiding, which is mostly what we attract people to now it seems. I do agree that it might be somewhat over the top to lay down a raid to create room for something else. However, raids have lifespans. And I do not agree that it is too much to whenever a raid dies out, then we take a day of the week that got freed up, and say that no raid or no activity that splits us can take place. This can be tuesdays, wednesdays whatever. But at the moment, there is no day where nothing is happening. And that is not healthy in my view. PvP can be done as a guild. We are rarely 40 level 70s on, which means that PvP we can do as a group. Heroics we can do as a group, or normal instancing aswell. Raiding is practically the only thing. That is unless we have 2 Kara runs at the same time, but yet there.. it would need to be the same 2 groups every week. It is not as easy splitting the groups up into the members, and mix max them around, like we could in heroic xxxday thing. And I think that would be good for the guild. And I do think it could be required to meet up to. The guild should come first. Otherwise there is really no reason to be in it, as friends can cross guildlines. We are more than a green chatbox, we should feel like family. I would like to see some more officer replies though. And I am sorry if this rubs some people the wrong way. Changes sometime does, but we are all adults. We'll get over it

There is a group of us that would like to take some initiative to get the ball rolling on some guild events. To get this rolling there is a few ideas that I would like some input on. What do people say to bringing Heroic Tuesdays back? I never tried it, it was before my time, but I think it was tried to restart, but I don't think it took off. the idea would be to force people that normally do not play together to do such. It would also be mixed together with gear, so all the teams that get started, have a chance of getting through said heroic. The whole thing would work by placing people in groups, likely by gear and class(spec) and then every tuesday teams get put together and then you are expected to do the best possible, to get through. Also, please decide which day of the week, that would be the most fitting for running events. Again, in my eyes, if you are online you participate. We are a guild here, the structure and strenghtening of guildties should be foremost in our minds. If we can get a fairly good picture of when people would be mostly able to attend, then we will start something up, likely on a every 2 week basis. Disclaimer: Yeah I know there are some raids running. Heroic tuesday could become Heroic Wednesday or Friday. That is what this post is for. I do however believe that the most important thing in guild like this (and particularly after a big change) is to bring people together. Piney If you post, then please add when heroic something should be, and what days would be best for you to do guild activities. By all means, Heroic Tuesday every 2nd week, guild events in the tuesdays in between is also an option.

I'll will so be drunk at that time in chicken beer http://www.carlsberggroup.com/brands/Pages...Paaskebryg.aspx So I will sooooo not be able to attend. Proper beer and remoulade is high on the list of things to do when getting home. Will not be back again before 3/25, so have a nice time off work/school etc.

Not sure if I am the only one. But it seems that AD shook me off, and that I now have problems getting back. If I should be the only one, then have a good meeting and hopefully I can get on again later.

Not a problem Rhoach. I appreciate you letting us know, and I hope that you have a good move!

Molox and Rhoach, I will send you two an ingame mail then we can figure out when it is best suited for you to have your match. And if that is best before the weekend, then as it is the two of you that made it into the finale Then there is no reason to wait =)

Congratulations And I hope that the next year will be even better than this one!

Should we cross our legs, not think of watery waterfalls and make sure to drink alot alot alot of brew all the night before, so we really can fill up a tub? Or we do not have anyone that needs a shower?

Not raiding yet, and likely to garner some ill feelings .. But should it really matter ?? It is one day out of many planned raids that it might change around with. Tuesdays and Thursdays are best for me, if not those then the weekend. Monday and wednesdays wifey would like some Knogle-action Times does not really matter. Edit: Meant to say: Even if it should be monday/wednesday and if Piney or Knogle should be awake, then I'll be there. If it will be short, then she will be okay with it.. WTB -25% wifey aggro enchant to chest!

That is very lovely. I will add you up to all of them, HAH, then you can tell the wifey that it is my fault!

I promised a good explanation of the matches. You two will be send a tonk controller today or tomorrow (thursday), and then we will figure out a good time to see who of you is the Tonkest Crusher around!!! And if you want to practice before the finale, then hook me up, then we will find a place and battle! Pinecone Dis be time for more clomping! Me be puntin a gnome an stof came out.

So me be havin all dis shinies and me want tu give it tu da Crushers! Just giving an early heads up for a Crusher Tournament coming up saturday the 16th of february. We need quite a few to make it real fun so make sure you sign up. There will even be prizes!!!! The tournament will be a "1vs1" with a 50g prize, "2vs2" with a 100g jackpot (for each) and lastly 2 times "Last Crusher Standing" with 100g. The tournaments will start at 12.00 am or pm (whichever is the noon one) server time. And you are certainly not required to be there while all of them is running. However, I am sure there will be much fun and cheering for your favourite will likely be greatly appreciated. Oh, and no .. you do not need to PvP spec yourself, and every class/level/gender can combat! More info to follow.. So stay tuned! ------- Okay .. they first edit of many (I bet!) Times will change a little bit. I have decided to make it run from saturday the 16th at noon until sunday the 17th at noon. Then when people sign up, then if you cannot come at the normal time, then list a timeframe where you can fight! Then I will pair people or teams up against eachother. And should a slave be on a 2vs2, then please for the love of everything unholy, make sure you are paired with someone that can play when you can. Remember .. A level 70 can easily be teamed with a level 1. So do not be afraid of teaming up and be a problem for your member .. (HAH HAH). When you sign up then please also add what tournaments you will like to attend. And you can easily get all 4 of them. Each of the "Last Crusher Standing" will be at noon but 2 different days. That should give people a chance for practice, and attend. --------- Now say that you want to join in the Crusher fun!

From the bottom of my heart, it is a sad day.. Bula have been seen at a NE party. As it turns out then he is just working undercover for the NE, trying to infiltrate the Horde's Finest... http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1399835006 There is just not much more to say .. I tried getting a statement from Bula, but he never returned my messages (that was almost sent to him).. Piney

Pinecone grew up in the shadows of Red Rock. While growing up he was always the one sent out to hunt. Not thinking much of it, he would hunt for many hours and always bring more than enough food with him back. Leaving whatever his family couldn’t eat outside, the wolves got a good feast too. However, it was a very respectless way of living. One day a great bear appeared and followed Pinecone around for several days in a row. Always on the horisont it did not take him long to see it. And in all those days he would repeatedly turn his head to look for it, sometimes it would be there.. sometimes it wouldn’t. Pinecone decided to just wait it out. If the bear wanted something of him, it could come. So after sitting around a campfire for 4 long days, the bear one evening stepped into the light, growling. Being afraid and somewhat starved he jumped on it, trying to wrestle it down to kill it. After a long fight Pinecone was the victor. The bear was laying defeated on the ground, and while picking his knife up from the rucksack next to the fire, he was getting ready to slay it. Then when he bent down next to it, he suddenly got very sad. This large and proud animal should not get slayed while laying in the grass like that. He make sure that it would survive and after leaving meat water for it, he left it to make camp in the nearby trees. While sitting with his back up against the tree, he saw the bear get up, eat and leave in the early hours of the day. That day Pinecone decided not to randomly slay and only to take what was needed. And to pay respect to the spirits of the surrounding world. Trekking his way home sparse with meat for the family, he spend the next days sitting and looking over the hills towards Thunderbluff. After some days a messenger came with a note, telling him to seek out a tauren named Gart Mistrunner. Pursuing his new way of life, Pinecone travelled to a great many places with many great friends. After many years of living in regret of his past actions he found peace when he found a spirit stronger than him. In the forests of Feralas he was left for dead wearing the bear. The next morning he retreated to a nearby cove, still wearing the bear. Over the next many months, he would not take the bear off, and he would slowly regain his strength. As spring rolled around, Pinecone had forgotten himself. After been wearing the bear for so long, the bear had taken over. Vaguely remembering something else but being a bear, but never able to understand, he was not able to take of the bear. He does not know for how long he spent living like this. But after many winters the insects came. They had a stench to them. And for a while they would stay in one place, but then slowly expanded their boundaries. And one day, while in fight, Pinecone the bear was injured in a fight against many insects and returned to a cove that always had had a strange pull in him. Laying there once again an old friend stepped in the cove. The smell was familiar and the bear would lick Pinecones wounds clean, then stay close by to help him recover. One day the bear spoke, telling a tale of a quest to travel to Feralas and seek out Pinecone to once again guide him. To tell him a story of an old life. While the bear spoke pictures came forward in Pinecone’s thoughts, and he remembered what he had forgotten in all these years. Taking the bear off after so long was not easy. But after many attempts he succeeded and after thanking the bear spirit he went looking for the world that he would have to relive once again. The gift given by the Earthmother, a new life, has instilled him with great humbleness. So what can change the life of a man? For Pinecone the Tauren it was regret. And sworn to never forget past actions, he has been given a second chance to prove himself. The mix of his past aggressions and his spirituality is a good combination for proving to the Earthmother that she made the right choice.

Ok, please bear (no punt intended .. well .. not a lot at least) .. with me. There might be alot of problems with the language, but over all .. Please let me know what you think. Perhaps read it twice, so that lacking sign does not seem so lacking. I am not an author by no means, and particularly not in english. Pinecone Poul Nielsen

Me be prickin der heels ... me be takin da hits, den du can be hittin dem back? We be gud together!!!!

That certainly depends if it is the Clown from Stephen King's IT .. That clown have baby pirates stuck in it's teeths...

There should be a coupon to get a character of yours made into a sculpture. A human would become like 4 inches tall (10 cms). However, from a danish website that I am following, it now seems that everyone have that opportunity .. http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2007/1...r-into-a-3d.php It does cost a bit, but that does your favourite character not deserve to have a place on your pillow? And then you can really show of your lewt loot to your non-WoW friends .. should you have any! I have a laptop that I sometimes play WoW on myself, and at the place I am working we can print out on a sticky back vinyl. And it is certainly my plan to get a front for my lappy. whenever Piney becomes print friendly Geek much?

See now.. I voted pirate, but only cause you never hear a ninja speak (not so silent now, ehh?) .. But yesterday a friend and I tested it out. And .. To my dismay then it shows that pirates are equally good as ninjas, and the other way around. This ofcourse was tested with a run through the Hinterlands. The only REAL way of testing stuff like that. --- No wait. We have to see who gets the furthest into the pirate camp in Tanaris. The one that lays on the ground furthest away from the starting point is of course superior.

I just came back from a break like that. So I can easily understand what you are going through. But rest assured that the game will be there when you get back, and it will yet again be fun (and suck up way too much time!).. Be well until then!
