December 2005 Archives

Todays show was a fun one, with me ranting a bit, and with some contests. The contests were a form of Azerothian Hide and go Seek. The first time I was hiding on a balcony in Ironforge, where Dev from IRC was the first to find me and tell me the name of my sword, and no, 'Big razor on a stick', though very descriptive, did not count. The correct answer was one of these, though Dev declined reward, the second place person had logged out, and Ciarda, the third place person, also declined reward.

The second contest was another hide and go seek, though this time I was in a far more complicated location, Darnassus. It was nearly the end of the show before someone found me, and this time they had to name the cloak I was wearing, and the color of it. The first person to find me, Keladine, had disconnected before being able to tell me the answer, and the second and third came back as the first showed back up. Ciarda, also known as Katana Angel in MMO IRC, was the first to answer the two required parts, while Enroth did arrive before Ciarda, but got the answer to me last.

I was found in Darnassus, standing next to Jeen'ra Nightrunner, Hunter Trainer, and her pet Nightshade, high up in a tree, wearing my Cape of the Fire Salamander, which I got in a recent trip through Blackrock Depths to hit the Black Forge. The prizes were varied in choice, and the winners were picked in this order. Following their names is the prize they chose. Keladine - Smashing Star of the Tiger, Ciarda - 5 Gold Pieces, and Enroth - 10 Tender Wolf Steak. Congratulations to the winners, and be sure to tune in next Wednesday for another contest or two.

Tonight's show was more music than I usually do, due to the lack of news and posts this past week. Leave comments about the show here.

• Frappr Map
• Canadian Geek Podcast
• Dev|WoW and I spoke about weapons and talent points, and he advised I drop the Ice Barbed Spear for the Hammer of the Grand Crusader. Thoughts on a Holy paladin switching form the spear to the mace?
• After the warlocks asked for ages for a Soul Shard Bag, was it solving the wrong problem?
• Somewhat new info on non Battlegrounds PvP
• Patch 1.8.4 mistakenly brought out a ten minute rule for Battlegrounds, which has been fixed along with a bug that had no losers getting marks.
• New Paladin talent calculator for the 1.9 talents
• My thread asking about the Greater Blessing costs, feel free to bump or add to the discussion.

I have followed the hottest meme in podcasting, the Frappr Maps, and made one for the podcast. I also have one for my podcast, but if you are a WoW player and liusten to my talk show, I would encourage you to hop on over and put a pin in the map and let me, and the rest of the listeners, where the listeners are from.

Welcome to the new site for my show on MMO Radio, Know Your Role. I am going to work on this site, and will use it to talk about the show, the news in WoW, and my information on what you can do to participate in the show. Enjoy the site, and see ya in game!
