Social Butterfly
…though you could hardly call me a butterfly; the similarities end at the expression. I don’t know that you could describe me as social either. Two months without a post? Ridiculous. I have been doing things though. Look there’s a Faceborg widget on the site now! I owe my friend Ranvis for the requisite number of Likes to get a real page name. You know, instead of some ambiguous alphanumeric gobbledygook like www.facebook.com/uR461An7L053r. I think that might have actually been my identifier prior to the proof of 25 friends!

I’ve made it clear that I’m a WoW head. I enjoy the game but more so because of the group of fellas that I game with. We’re a pretty laid back group, the majority are married with kids and so we all realize family comes first. I suppose it’s not too different from “bowling night” or “meeting the guys at the bar” with the exception that we’re home where our spouses can typically roust us for that last minute “honey do.”
Recently once of the guys (we shall use his handle Beet) logged on to find the majority of his equipment and inventory missing from several of his toons. Of course the first thought was that his account was hacked so immediately Beet submits an in-game GM request. Beet gives the GM the particulars after close to an hour of waiting. During this time we discovered some peculiarities. Read the rest of this entry »
