From Bloggers to Me: Sixth Challenge!

Tags

blogger, challenge, sixth, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW

I don’t subscribe to a lot of blogs.  Mainly because I don’t like checking my email all the time (it’s a mess) or reading blogs there.  However, I do subscribe to a few, and I also often check my site stats to see where my readers are coming from.

So this week, I have been “tagged” by at least four WOW bloggers in what they are calling the “Sixth Challenge.”

I was tagged by:
1. Kamalia Et Alia
2. The Pugnacious Priest
3. Martha.net
4. Chronicles of Mia 

The rules are:
1. Go into your image folder
2. Open the sixth sub-folder and choose the sixth image
3. Publish the image! (and a few words would not hurt, though I dare say I couldn’t stop a blogger from adding a few words of their own)
4. Challenge six new bloggers.
5. Link to them

This challenge excited me (kind of sad lol).  It really did!  What follows is a bit long, but here goes….

I went to my image folder, went to my 6th sub-folder…WTH? What is this folder I have never even heard of- IPOD PHOTO CACHE.  And since my Ipod has been broken forever, it was EMPTY!!!

I discovered this early on, and I even responded to Kamalia and Pugnacious that I couldn’t post a picture.  But I keep getting tagged!

So I looked around to see how I could do this, BUT:

I do not have six sub-folders in most of the places I store pictures! lol (also a mess)

I lost a ton of pictures on my computer recently btw trying to get them to an external drive that didn’t work right.

I went to a different pictures folder, and the 6th sub-folder was pictures my Mom accidentally put on my computer.

And then… I went past those (cheating I know), and the 6th subfolder/6th picture was of my Mom and family.  I have been ordered to never post any pictures of my Mom online, so that one was out too.

So, I am breaking the rules a bit.

OK so I am breaking the rules completely… I am kind of following Martha’s lead and picking where I actually store my pictures to show you.

Here is what I have:

Sixth Screenshot from My WOW Photobucket Folder:

Testing a new UI

This is my priest, Meridia, and a UI I was making for her.  This was still in test phase, and you can see I have lots of overlapping boxes at the time.

Sixth Screenshot from my WOW Screenshots Folder:

Guildies in Stormwind

This one is pretty funny.  Someone in my guild scheduled a guild photo on the calendar…the day before.  Needless to say, only a few showed up.  But to be fair, it would be hard to get all of my guildies on at one time anyways.

SEVENTH Picture in my Jennifer/Downloads Folder

Does this really need a caption?

I have the worst luck.  I really wanted to post the sixth picture, but it is artwork done by an friend who sells prints of it.  I don’t think he would appreciate me putting it here for everyone to download.  So I went with the seventh picture.

I had this Beatles photo because I wanted to compare a WOW screenshot I made to it…here is the screenshot (for a contest we did):

My Beatles shot

So, last but not least…I am tagging some new bloggers, some loyal readers/bloggers, and some bloggers that are back from writing breaks.  Click their links and show them some support!

1. Nightvyxen, Daughter of the Horde
2. Azeroth-Adventuring
3. A Sunnier Bear
4. The Daily Frostwolf
5. Cannot Be Tamed
6. It’s For My RP Spec!

 

My Cool New WOW Necklace

It’s amazing the WOW goodies you can find on etsy.com these days!

As a recent reward to myself, I bought this WOW necklace from the It’s Your World shop.  The shop makes pendants and keychains.

It's on a domino!

I am wearing it tonight on my Valentine’s date, and I love it!  Just wanted to share.

12 In 12 Challenge?

12 in 12, challenge, level, leveling, levels, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW

Yesterday I found out that several of the WOW blogger community are participating in what has been called “12 in 12.”

The idea, created by the Amateur Azerothian, is to get 2012 levels in 2012!  Sounds crazy right?  Scary thing is, you can see at the bottom of his blog post that several participants are ALREADY at 70% of their goal or higher.

I am highly considering taking the challenge except for one problem.  My 85s are on three accounts, and the rules state that they must all be from ONE account.

So today I added up all my toons including all the lowbie noobs on Chatmay’s account.  And trust me, I have a ton of lowbie noobs.

Here is what I came up with:

49 toons
20 servers
1174 levels

The class breakdown is: 7 warlocks, 5 mages, 4 rogues, 5 hunters, 3 warriors, 5 paladins, three DKs (which only count as half their level), 4 druids, 3 shamans

Woot for warlocks!

The race breakdown is: 9 humans, 6 nightelves, 9 draneis, 4 gnomes, 0 goblins, 12 bloodelves, 4 tauren, 1 dwarf, 0 orcs, 2 undead, 2 trolls, 0 worgen

This is amusing because I have yet to get a bloodelf over level 20.  I tried, I really did.

So let me know if you are doing 12 for 12 and whether I should try.  I mean after all, it is 12 months of playing WOW….

Taking Inventory of Chatmay’s Attire

My guild is getting ready for a fun fashion show event.  We had one for giggles last year, and it was a huge success… so here we go again.

I didn’t win last year, so I have decided to up the stakes for myself and actually come up with some new outfits.  To start this process, I decided I needed to write down all the WOW gear pieces I have accumulated over the past several years.

I started keeping gear around level 70 when I started to role-play (RP).  I have always had problems with bag space, but since then it has REALLY been a problem.  I have often had to part with an outfit to make room for new ones.  I don’t RP anymore, but everyone on my server knows I like to keep up my appearances.

I didn’t really realize what a mess I had until I started writing it down.  Chatmay has a total of FORTY-NINE chest pieces and THIRTY-THREE helms not to mention all the other slots.  Including weapons, offhands, and wands, Chat has a total of 189 gear pieces.  (this does not include tabards, which I do not collect)

Here is a screenshot of my bank and bags.  As you can see, I only have a few spaces left open in my bags as usual.  I have about 2 columns full of void storage as well.  Note I did not show two bags, which are my engineering and mining bags.    (considering dumping the mining stuff for more gear!)

Chatmay's Closet

Many people have suggested that I get an addon for keeping up with gear, which I think might be highly likely for me soon.  Anyways, wish me luck for the fashion show, and if you have any outfit ideas let me know!

Horde Guild Leveling Contest on Eonar

contest, eonar, guild, horde, leveling, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW

Casual/social horde guild <Radical Dreamers> on Eonar started a contest yesterday that is still open to anyone who wants to partcipate… the first person to level a toon to 85 wins!  The prize is 2000g PLUS fast flight!

Leveling Goblins

The GM toon is Ushiko, a Tauren Druid, “Dreamweaver” rank.  The guild’s name is after a song from the 80′s from an old game called “Chrono Trigger.” The ranks are named after other songs with the word Dream in it.  New members are “Little Dreamers” and the next step up, member 2 is “Day Dreamer,” while member 3 is “Dreamer;” all songs from different eras.  As for raiders…they are “Dream Raiders,” which is a song from an anime.

Minoah

The contest is being held to increase membership but also for a fun way to get new alts leveled.  The guild consists of 97 alts and around 20-25 actual members.   Many are female.  Guild level is very close to 10.  It has gotten that high very quickly, and they are hoping it will move on up just as quickly once we get more people in the guild.  According to officer Roseshadow, once you make 85 you are under no obligation to stay in the guild.  You can transfer to your favorite server, but they hope you will stay around.

Roseshadow

The rules are simple- your toon must be 25 or lower and you can use dungeon runs, PVP, or whatever gets you to 85 the quickest.  However, absolutely no BOAs nor recruit a friend can be used.  Enchants and gem are allowed.

There are also prizes for 2nd and 3rd place as well as all participants:
2nd place – A full set of 8 Raptor mini-pets
3rd place – A full set of Winter Veil pets
Participant – to be determined

Here are some names of contacts for the guild:
GM- Ushiko, Steerah, Minoah
Officer Roseshadow, also Angel
Officer Maev and many other toons including Ripcar
Officer Cookie- Evilcookie, Mootherudder, Oreo and Cookies
Officer Moo

Good luck Dreamers!

I have been working on this one for a while, and I think it turned out well!  It is featuring some of my 85s and what I do with them every day-

Here is the video I promised from the Winter Party contests!  This was our attempt to get Mine Sweeper achievement.

I keep having trouble with uploading from Sony Vegas 9 to youtube- I can’t get the quality to stay up, especially in full screen.  If you can help me let me know!

WOW Winter Guild Party

Those of you that have read my blog the past year have seen articles about the spring, summer, and fall guild parties.  So here is my latest installment, <The East Kingdom> Winter Guild Party, held last night on Terokkar!

I summoned everyone interested in attending to K3 in Storm Peaks.  I thought the snowy zone would work well with the theme.  We laid down a Brewfest Pony Keg of beer and a Dalaran cask of red wine. (I just discovered these casks in Dalaran the other day, and this one serves 25 people!)

After a few drinks, we did a winter outfit contest.  Several of us had on similar or the same robes, but Mtdewme won with her Glacial Robe and matching blue helm.  The prize was 500g plus Authentic Jr. Engineering Goggles and a Red Wine Glass offhand.

I had two toons at the party, Chatmay and Ellenoria.  Chatmay wore all white.  I put White Swashbuckler’s Shirt under Mooncloth Robe to make the robe look long-sleeved.  This shirt seemed to be the only true white-colored shirt in game.  The rest were all kind of dirty-white.  Not shown in the picture, but I also had my Baby Blizzard Bear out.

Mooncloth Robe
White Swashbuckler’s Shirt
Thoriumweave Cloak
Moccasins of the White Hare
Diamond-Tipped Cane
Double-Stiched Woolen Shoulders
Wand of Ahn’kahet
Gossamer Headpiece of Whale

Ellenoria is usually at parties as our mascot, Druid Gaga, but she was kind of chilling last night with her moose horns.  Here is what she wore:

Boneshreddin

Druidic Helmet of Second Sight
Five pieces of Boneshredder set
The Fire Extinguisher 

We then went to the minefield nearby to try for the Mine Sweeper achievement.  After attempting this achievement for a while with guildies blowing up everywhere, we finally had one guildie get the achievement.  He won a Teldrassil Sproutling companion pet.  I filmed this on FRAPS and hope to post it here on the blog in a few days.

The other game we played was Snow-ball.  It was a version of paintball with snowballs.  You had to be the first to hit 10 others with your 10 snowballs to win.  I gave everyone time to hide, then we started.  You could not hit the same person twice in a row.  This game ended quickly, so I might have to think of a way to make it harder for next time.  We had a tie, so both winners received a companion pet or gold.

After the party, we all went and did Naxxramus-25 with nine people to get achievements.  It was a fun night!

2nd WOW Music Video

LMFAO, music video, Sexy and I Know It, video, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW

I thought I had already posted this on my blog, but I just realized it was not here!

Our guild started an inside joke about the song “Sexy and I Know It” and one of our little gnomes.  So I made a short music video remaking the last part of the original video by LMFAO.

Please note that I shot it so fast I made some mistakes involving toon names appearing in some scenes! Oops.  But overall, I really liked it, and the quality was a lot better on youtube than my first video.

Let me know what you think!
