@Ihra: A PvP Tree!

Your blog looks interesting.. will invest some time there.

Great idea. I know Gnomeaggedon used to try and get people organized, but DPS (and everyone is DPS if they aren’t heals) in BGs tend to play their own game….

Now healers… we think of the team, so that’s a great idea.

<— followed Cyn over, added to blogroll. So few pvp people on my server, I have to make all my friends in the blogosphere :-p.

I'll take your healer announcement, and raise you one further — I like to also ask who the other healers are and then try to coordinate where we're all going (so we don't have all three of us going to LM, or something). Many people are idiots…but I find that many other people are just looking for someone to tell them what to do. You have healing-leads in raids, why not in /bg, I figure. Plus, having a *discussion* about heals that goes on for several back-and-forth comments helps boost your visibility in the bg as well as your teammates' morale .

I didn’t spoil it! Well, not entirely. They still have to come read it.

I’m glad I found your site — loving catching up on your articles so far!

Hey tiggs4e, I’m glad that I have drawn you in with Squidly’s exploits!

I think just like Mage blogs, the Shaman ones do exist, but sometimes they are hard to find, and I think (after being down this path with Gnomer) that you start to run out of inspiration.

Squidly is giving me more than enough inspiration… which isn’t to say that Gnomeaggedon isn’t going to get a run.

Ahhh… “one of those weird gals”

I think I surround myself with weird gals…

PuG BGs (like I know any other) are full of frustration, which makes those times that they comet together all the more sweet.

believe it or not, I am as good at reading the chat as I am at filling it… it’s just that when no one else speaks up and the team is in a muddle, I have found the quickest way to change things about is to share my “wisdom”… which after all was passed down to me by other PuG BG’ers… so might as well share it about.

Ahh I can rest easy…

I do have some silly Mage posts waiting to be released.. but they are just… well, let’s call the rainy day posts, because I wouldn’t be looking for writers awards for them…

Ah yeah, BG feast time!

Like you, I used them as an opportunity to explore the BGs. Yes I could have popped in and out, but hey, I’m here, might as well have some fun for 1/2 hour… my objective is already complete, so nothing to lose, lots to gain.

From memory I notched up a few achievements doing the meals on wheels run… basically just by being present.
