Had an Alliance Monk decide to take me on while I was taking Halaa back from the Allies! Managed to kick his butt and it is amazing how good it felt to do some real PvP for a change! :)

Love the podcast
I have been listening to your podcast for a couple months and have to say I love it! It is refreshing to listen to others who are enjoying the game even during the "lull". A rarity among podcasters these days. I started playing during classic although I never had a max level until wrath. I did not play during cata and the beginning of mists as my life at the time didn't allow for it(starting a family and finishing school). I spent pretty much all of my time in wow as a soloist but now I want to join and be part of a community. I started a Tauren hunter on earthen ring named Huntes and would love to join Clan of Darkness. If not I hope to see you in game any way. Thanks for sharing your experiences in the game and keep fighting the good fight. - Setnuh

Thanks for the donation Grand Nagus!

Clan of Darkness
Hello Ctrlaltwow Crew
  It has never happened that I write to you 2 weeks in a row but I come bearing a gift.
  I won the top 25 in Guild activity competition we had last week in the game. I won an Armored Bloodwing and I thank Donnie for the gift. I already have this mount so I thought I would give it to you Ladies to give away.
  You might be able to have a competition of your own and get somebody to make you a new Email bumper.
  Anyway I love the new line up. You Ladies are awesome. Have a great week.
Sincerely Matahorn
Ps I must thank Donnie for letting me give away my prize.

A report from Warsong Gulch

Dear CtrlaltWow,
Dear members of the mighty Clan of Darkness,
here is a report from the battleground.

Date: August 10th 2014
Bg: WSG
Lvl: 10-14
Me: female undead disc priest

A typical easy win battleground, we were stronger and the alliance scum was no real threat to us. When only 6 minutes left to play, we had a comfortable lead of 2 - 0.

I told my group that "hey its only 6 minutes left, lets get that last flag too!", I ran up myself and got the flag but a rogue backstabbed me before I reached the tunnel. Not a friendly player in sight, I opened my map, and there they ALL were, cramped in our flagroom (!!)

Here is a transcription of what happened next in chat.

Me: FFS why are you all in our base???!!!!
Fõllowed (Moonguard): Needed to ensure win
Me: Are you stupid?
Me: We had 2 - 0
Me: We could have gotten THIRD flag!  
Me: But no...
Me: Stupiidoo!!
Fõllowed: coulda shoulda woulda
Me: Learn BG
Lilltefeetz (Gorefiend): Then go get it
Vesperz (Gorefiend) raven, its called turtling
Fõllowed: too late now
Me: turtle at 2-0 ?  STUPID
Fatcobra - instance leader (Gorefiend) anyone need a tissue?
Quadi (Stormreaver):  lol, chill
Littlefeetz: then leave
Vesperz: when would you turtle?

And then the bg was over, and they all left.
So, the question is,
When would you turtle?

For the Horde,
Ràvn


And did I mention I'm having to brush up on some reeeeeally old and unused (read: mostly forgotten) coding skills for a possible promotion? Fingers crossed for me? Pretty please? ;)

Anyway, here's my audio.
