Shadow Hunter Vol'jin,
I be a little upset dat you be raidin' da Echo Isles to usurpin' Zalazane da traitor and you not be lettin' me go. I was able to be helpin' wit da logistics of da matter by collectin' frogs for Vanira for her voodoo and findin' and recruitin' da druid Zentabra. It would just be nice ta actually be there to face down da traitor and witness us retaking our home, mon. On da bright side, at least I didn't have to deal with dat one buggy encounter that kept evade-bugging ... er ... that was using some nasty voodoo to avoid death ...
Stay away from da voodoo,
Sandwichdoc

High Tinker Mekkatorque,
Hurray for the High Tinker! I am so happy to be in your employ and that I did so well on the tasks you set before me ... until the last one. I was particularly happy to eliminate those troublesome troggs that had taken over the cave from the troublesome trolls. But I am so sorry about The Incident.
I am not trying to make excuses, but I have these voices in my head telling me what to do. They scroll by with monkey faces and colored names and say things like, "You're standing in the stream," and, "Heal. HEAL!" Sometimes they're wrong (I was the one shooting the beam) and sometimes they're right (I'm a priestess; duh), but it's all a bit confusing. Not that I want to get rid of them! No! I just need to be better at paying attention.
You probably think I'm mentally imbalanced, don't you? Well, my mental imbalance is forever at your service, O Great Tinker.
Anyway, The Incident was caused by my not paying attention to the minions beating on me while I was shooting the beam so that your gadgets could help you win the fight against that bad guy. Happily, a Spirit Chickie sent me back to my body and allowed me to start the fight anew. I'm not quite sure how that works. I don't think she turned back time, but you seemed to start the battle as if it were new to you. Perhaps I only dreamed The Incident?
Hmmm ...

High Tinker Mekkatorque,
Hurray for the High Tinker! Let me know if you ever need my services again!
Your humble servant,
Peenk
Robin Torres as Robinemia, the Forsaken huntress
Lady Sylvanas,
I am humbled to be in your presence and I feel something close to thrilled to do your bidding.
Please contact me any time you need me to do even the most menial task. My labor is yours to do with as you like. Particularly killing humans. I am extremely fond of killing humans. Any time you need someone to add to our Forsaken army, I will be even more eager to serve you. My crossbow seems to sing when pointed at humans, and my pet seems to savor the taste of their blood -- as do I.
In fact, if you need me, I'll be creating more corpses to be raised.
Robinemia

So, is it supposed to be Pink or Peen, 'k?
Robin Torres Sep 20th 2010 8:51PM
Pink with an accent.

Female Worgen are apparently up, so it looks like this week is Worgen Druid.
Robin Torres Sep 20th 2010 8:55PM
Unfortunately, they aren't playable.
See that big failure sign?
http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/09/20/the-queue-failure/
Yeah. That's what you get when you try to make a worgen right now, male or female. Believe me, I tried the minute the beta servers came up after the new patch. I guess they are working on the worgen starting area this week.
But yes, if that changes, I'll play her as promised. :)

Who knows, they may fix it in time. :)

Insert my usual tirade against Scourge sympathisers here. Rawrglargle, froth, rage.

Dear god, that picture of Peenk is so cute! I think Peenk should have her own fanclub. :o)
Shock Sep 21st 2010 1:35AM
Robin! You said last week that if Worgen females were released you wouldn't even have a poll as that would be what you'd play.
With the models out - aren't they playable now!?!?!
Shock Sep 21st 2010 1:35AM
I didn't learn to read - my bad :(

Is anyone else in the ICftB on Zangarmarsh experiencing hellacious lag? I was trying to logon and said lag was at an unbelieveable 17K ms. It took 5 minutes from the time I clicked the logoff button to when the screen actually changed.
Sintra E'Drien of the Ebon Blade, né Sindorei (still Worgen-curious)
niko Sep 21st 2010 9:38AM
ZM-H is my main realm. I play every night with no problems with lag!
not sure what happened to ya there.
