Hiya Aprillian, Leeta, Rogueslayer and Tedrah and all of our awesome guildies & friends!
  Hope everyone is having a awesome week, in an out of game!

 Well didn't get a lot wow time this past week, real life shouted and won. You know one of the things
I love about our beloved game, you can escape from the real world even if it's just a short time. Job related
stress goes away, house hold shores well they can wait a bit. And if your having a bad day, you get to kill things
that's always a helper!
  This week wasn't like that for me, but I'm not complaining, everything that could
go wrong some
how seemed too! lol Frist my son Terry had after school programs almost everyday, okay fine not
a problem all the work he is doing during, and after school will look great on his collage app.
  Then for some odd reason my heater in my bedroom decided not to work! Oh no can't have that not when it's down to below 0.
My bedroom is where my computer is, I tried to play but my hands were frozen even my nose was cold!
But my son got it working just in time for our Friday night raid, time to have some fun right?
  Nope again life had another plan. Juuno went to a Christmas party work thing. And just as I was about to log on
Shane got a call from his brother Tommy, he hit black ice and hit a tree his car is totaled but he isn't hurt, sore yes
but no broken bones. He had a speaker box that he built out of heavy wood and that stopped the trunk from coming
into the front seat with him. I won't say anything ever again about big ugly wooded speaker boxes going into the trunk.
 Oh but I did get a couple of pets leveled between cold finger's and nose! One of the pets is from Poleth,
sent too Donnie to give away :)
 And I did get to see before I went to bed on our FB guild page our awesome guildies got.
Cho'Gall down.  That means that you can go to the guild vendor in org and buy yourself the dark phoenix mount for ONLY 2700G.
 In Rokwyn's own words! Woot! Thanks guys awesome job!

Anyway I love you guys &
gals
 Pixie
for the horde & Earthen Ring
Big Hugs & Kisses!


What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Astara flew Bruzilla from Moonglade to Everlook totally elimanated

Noticed this:
Took Epril and Aprillian to Timeless Aisle and we rocked.





Leeta

1/ Today marks 1 year since we lost Zach in a tragic accident! He will always live on in our hearts <3
Here is one of my favourite selfies he took and one of his favourite life quotes.
My alltime favourite picture of Zach - he always had the most beaming smile <3
2/ TNAK Guild - My Lil Mage hit Lvl 64
Did guild run of Hellfire Rampants - funny how much easier it feels even at level compared to back when these dungeons came out in Burning Crusade.
I remember the first time going in there and the mob pulls where you would have to use every CC the group had. Lol definitely not like that anymore!
Groups can handle more mobs in a single pull nowadays!
Shout out to Cloggie - Warrior Gnome Tank Extraordinaire :D

3/ Warlocks - Since we don’t have enough side projects going on we decided to start another one… It’s a Warlock only guild where we will be running dungeons as a 5 man Warlock team.
Since heirlooms are now able to be sent across servers this has made levelling even more crazy fast! ** Side note - I have now taken to writing down my toons names and the spellings for each toon on each server ** I mean Hello how many different ways can I possibly spell Leeta?! haha
Goal for this week is to get Warlocks to Lvl15 so we can run our first dungeon. Also remember since we are all DPS we will have to get ourselves to the instances and go in once there… yep should make for alot of fun especially since it’s been decided our first dungeon will be RageFire Chasm… I’m sure Orgrimmar will be excited to see a bunch of Lvl15 Alliance Warlocks ;)
Attached a screenshot of Wingy and I on our “Warlock” mounts hehe we were Lvl 8 at the time.
Did you know if you have the Sea Turtle that any level toon can ride it?
Wingy and I - Warlock Power!
Baby Druid Lvl2 on Sea Turtle Mount!
The Warlocks!
Drain life syncing!
4/ ShaoHao - Though I have not spent alot of time on my main - Leeta - I did manage to get some rep grinding down with the help of Ashayo, Cloggie and Matahorn. We did the daily and weekly quests and I am now over 13k through revered.
Currently have over 153k in Timeless Coins so am fully ready for when I hit exalted I have more then enough to get the mount! Just gotta grind more rep lol

Rogueslayer

Brillig
  • Level 90 after last week’s show! (screenshot) - that makes 10 (3 A, 7 H)

Voltmetra
  • WoW vs. Wii
  • RAF with Coolchic (Julie)
  • Shadowymonk duel DBaD
  • Ermagrogg came up and got some brandy from my Alterac Brew-Pup
  • Lvl 20 - need to go learn riding

  • Joined Julie’s new toon she started herself
  • Various hijinx - audio




Emails

HI

Hello everyone!
I am very happy to be part of your guild. I see the encouraging comments and being there to help one another that this guild offers and I like it. Upon request from my friend I have created two more characters so he and I could level them up together. I am asking that those two characters be added to the guild too please.  Their names are Hoodma and Robsta.
Thanks for everything,


Dear Ladies of CntlAltWow,
                                      Aprillian,Leeta,RogueSlayer and Tedrah. I wanted to comment I can't get enough of listening to your ladies talk about you week in world of warcraft. How you go off on some of the funniest and craziest story and tales about you characters and you holiday questing, I can picture Aprillian running around the world of Azeroth with 4 alts following her and 5 companions chasing down some new lore or looking for  a new pet to score on the rare list. I invision Rogueslayer logging on toon after toon chasing down her holiday achievements and looking for someone or something silly to happen to make her smile or laugh. Leeta tearing up every pet she comes across or going though dungeon after dungeon trying to level her poor mage. Picture her frustration on how am I going to get more dps or am i ever gonna get though the outlands again for the 200 time. Then there is Tedrah laugh at us in what they guys say in the chat room. The silly things Jeppy,Big Steve, or Grand Nagus might comment on. Then there Pixiegirl and Juno with there emails. I do enjoy there emails. Big Steve singing and making me Jealious cause I wish I could sing or even right a song. Then there is Donnie with this past week Raid updates and achievements announcements. You ladies and gents as well bring a warmness to my heart though some very tough personal times I am going though in the real world. I have grown to care about you all a great deal for how much you bring to the table, plus how much you care so deeply about one another. World of warcraft is not just a game to you. It is a big part of your life. It is a friendship, a family. A group of people you talk to and share story's and passions with one another. I love that all of you have such big hearts and souls. So keep up the good work. Keep the laughs and smiles going. Cause you guys truly make a differance in people life more that you could possible imagine. Thanks for making my holidays more special.

PS hope Tedrah is feeling better you were surely missed in the chat room. Even though Jeppy tried his hardest not to lose his headset or mute himself or not to try to forget to scroll down to see the rest of the text. He did a better job then i could ever do.

Donnie- I missed your comments and raid progress updates. But I wanted to let you know my heart and my prayers have been there for you my friend. I am sorry and understand how hard it is to have things happen with the family. May god bless you and lisa though this tough time and angels hold you close to there heart for comfort and support.

Hugs
Deathstryder

Hi guys and gals!

From the sunny beaches south of Booty Bay I send you two pictures of me and my friend, Lil`Bling. We had a great time exploring and swimming. Then we had a few beers under a palm tree while listening to your awesome podcast. A perfect day!

Lil`Bling wonders if you please would consider doing the weathercast for Stranglethorn?  
The warm and damp weather is not only good for his shiny metal blingarmour I guess.
Cheers and lots of love from
Ràvn

PS: Please make an honorable undead out of me, please let me become a member of Clan of Darkness. I have served faithfully as a recruit for some time, and hope you will find me worthy an upgrade.

Greetings


Heya C.A.W. crew,

Just wanted to send a quick update and a few screen shots of what I've been doing since my last email.

Still working on The Seat of Knowledge and I'm down to just needing two artifacts. Pandaria is gonna look like swiss cheese before I'm done I'm sure, but I won't let that stop me. Blingtron 4000 was kind enough to give me a Lil' Bling so I guess i should take back most of the mean stuff I've said about that stingy little robot. This brings me to 552 unique pets.

I've also been working on the dungeon achievements from Wrath and Cataclysm. I forgot how much fun some of the older dungeons were. I've still got quite a ways to go for Glory of the Cataclysm Hero, but I did finish up Glory of the Hero granting me a shiny new Red Proto-Drake. Also I finished getting my 60th faction rep to exalted earning The Beloved title.

There's also a bunch of raid achievement I've gotten in the past few weeks thanks to COD's Friday night raids, but instead being boring and listing them all, I'll just say thanks to my guildees. You guys are awesome.

I think that's about it for now. Have a great show.

Alztraj

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.

Juuno and Pixie Girl!


Hiya Aprillian, Leeta, Rogueslayer and Tedrah and all of our awesome guildies & friends!
  Hope everyone is have a awesome week, in an out of game!

I've had a pretty great week you might say, well except my daughter (Juuno) didn't make it on the game last night!
Nope she was sick, but yep it's that time of year isn't it? And my youngest Spearit came down with a cold to, think
they had it planned so they could miss the Friday run! Oh well Spearit did join for the first run and Idi got the mount
this time Grats!!!
I sat this one out and listened on mumble gave Sumduud my place so he could have some fun. Only they didn't give
updates very well, really Blizz should make it so you can see what your guild mates are doing in the raids. Okay maybe that asking
to much oh well it's a thought! But I did get to say lots of grats at the ach. they were getting, and there were some guild ach. in there
too that we needed. So we should be getting very close to
finishing up Cata now, maybe two more Fridays what do you say Donnie?
Grand Nagus was an awesome leader last night, thanks Grand Nagus really appreciate the help you give us :)
Speaking of I want to do a little bragging on a young lady that won't brag on her self! This special person's name would be Kittyfox!
She won the Celestial Tournament yep you heard me right all of the trainers! She won it and all I can say it wow Congrats!! She also finely got the
Unborn Val'kyr and that's a feat in it's self! This is one young women that knows what she wants and stays after until she gets it, I'm
very proud of you Kittyfox!
She is also helping me by putting together a list of pets I need so maybe I can win too, thanks Kittyfox
really you are an amazing person :)
You know it never stops to amaze me how many wonderful people can be in one spot, our Clan of Darkness isn't just a guild,
but like our sweet Leeta says a family. We have our ups and downs but seem to pull together, when I'm sad and this time of year
it happens more then I like. Leeta is always there to pull me back up, she reminds me that yes maybe after all I'm a good person, not
just a waste of time. Guess what I'm trying to say is knowing that you're all there Aprillain,
Ron, Willopet, Rokwyn and so many more thanks
for really caring. And just know you're not just a part of a game I play but a part of my life!

Love you gals &
guy's

GDay Ctrl Alt WoW

Dear Ladies of Ctrl Alt WoW,

Firstly I would like to say Thank you for an entertaining show that talks about all the things that WoW players do in and out of game. I am a fairly new listener to the show but through listening to podcasts such as Behind The Avatar with Leeta, Wow Geekly with Ashayo and Eljeppy, and more recently Corpse Run Radio with Junno and the crew, I downloaded your show and really enjoyed the teams approach to WoW and of course your many ALTS! I have many alts spread across a few Oceanic and US servers with a majority being Alliance on Khaz Goroth Oceanic.

My favourite class in WoW is shaman. I enjoy healing dungeon runs and raids whilst doing pet battles at every opportunity. Up to more recent times I was quite outgoing in game but due to real life friends leaving the game and a fall out with a small guild that I started raiding with 5-6 months ago I have found myself logging into WoW and regularly toon and server jumping until I finally get so frustrated that I log off and start playing Hearthstone or Guild Wars 2. I love WoW which compounds the frustration.

I suppose the question I put to you all is how do I overcome this frustration? I hear you say give yourself goals in game and concentrate on one thing or toon at a time? My own thoughts are that I am lacking the social interaction I used to have and that WoW is designed to provide.

Saying all this, I was hoping to create a toon on Earthern Ring to get back to basics and start enjoying the game with all the social interaction that the game has to give. Can this toon please join CoD? I have not created this toon yet but would like to contact one of you via Twitter once I have met the requirements to join ( hopefully after this email!)

Again Thank you for the show and I look forward to your next one.

Kind Regards,

Bemmoh

PS - Thank you Leeta for your tweets and advice.

Enjoy the show, looking to join COD

Hello CAW cast!
I found your podcast in a little round about way... I have enjoyed listening to your show as well as Wow Geekly and Juuno and Pixie!! I wont bore you with my long WoW history (been playing off and on since launch), so I'll start with my most recent stint in WoW. I came back to the game earlier this year and have been looking for a guild home for a while now. After much searching and trying out other guilds, I have come up empty. I have heard how much fun you all have in game and would like to be a part of it. I hope you will consider me and my lowly level 2 warrior, Valstrios for a spot in COD!  (I cant wait for 5.4.2 when I can give him some heirlooms)!!!  Anyways, thank you for your consideration and keep up the great work on the show.
My best to you all and happy holidays,
Mat



Tyrathan Khort is a mother f**king badarse

Sorry for the lack of audio this week as I have been dragged into COD Ghosts and out of COD Caw I was able to listen in on the raid and lvl mooknight up to 89.5 from the title I also read a really good book filled of semi current content and I now feel that I am close to Vol'jin personality wise and I think the two new classes will be shadow hunter for horde and daemon hunter for alliance. I spent like 3.5 all up in game this week hope for more this week and to have a raid with juuno this week and maybe even a lil 90 action. Also this week in Subway news I was in the local one when a kid behind me was begging his mum for a cookie over and over and over so as I paid for my subs I also got him a dam cookie and gave it to him only to have his mother snatch from him and tell him off for taking cookie from strangers. So I went down on one knee introduced myself to said child then looked at his mother and told her to give him the dam cookie. The staff lost it and the mother was not impressed.
For the horde
For the Alliance
For the sandgropers
And for Cold beers on hot nights
