Around Azeroth: The end is nigh
Inspired by the success of this weekend's Stewart/Colbert march, Kinka of <Hakkari Madness> on Spinebreaker (US-H) held a Rally to Preserve Madness in the center of Orgrimmar to warn folks of the upcoming disaster. Despite Kinka's excellent handmade runic signboard and sophisticated anti-mind control headgear, the rally was sparsely attended and dissipated within an hour.

Is there anything more disturbing in this world than a naked male troll mage popping Mirror Image?

Hakkari Psychosis, actually. And yeah, I couldn't get a single, solitary person to repent.

You may be mildly interested to know that as soon as I learned of the sandwich boards I went to Gnomergan specifically to farm the hat for this screenshot.

Funny part of that billboard is that it seems to totally paralyze your upper body when you dance. It means that your upper body wont move at all when your down body twists. Its really funny with belf males as they keep looking forward when they are suppos to be facing backwards and twist their hips. Its pretty hilarious.

I've been using my times as an undercover Cultist, yelling good old Yoggy and C'thun quotes.
Nothing as great as a lunatic touring the capitals, yelling: "Madness will consume you!", "You friends will abandon you!", ""Your courage will fail! and "Your will is no longer your own!" etc.
I love the pre-Cataclysm event already! :D

Nice.
Where'd you get the sandwich boards?
KJP Nov 2nd 2010 11:52AM
I still say those signboards actually say, "Eat At Joe's".

I love how the alphabet is totally different but they still have exclamation marks AND overuse them.

TheDalaranStreetJournal.com - "Cornering the Auction House Since The First War."
Azerothians Take to Polls
King Varian Wrynn and new Warchief Garrosh Hellscream saw their citizenry vote in public elections, mostly on menial issues in their respective empires.
Alliance citizens of Stormwind chose new local leaders who would be appointed by the king anyway, as well as a new warrior to deal with rabid, feral Worgen who couldn't return to the civilized fold.
"New guv'nah, new dogcatcher, big deal," said a peasant who wished to be unnamed.
In the Stormwind Castle gardens, the nobility held a tea party while listening to results of polls and Auction House sales.
"He who has the coin, has the voice of society, the voice of the Alliance! We shouldn't risk listening to the parasites seeking handouts!"said Dwarven philosopher and writer Ainerand, who was busy mooching on the various fine wines and foods of Stormwind nobility and trade princes while singing sagas of praise to them and asking for financial backing on her "delayed" upcoming book.
Meanwhile, in Orgrimmar, voters were forced to attend polling stations and give their submissions to watchful political shamans.
"We keep it easy on the peons. Just give them a paper with a box drawn on it saying 'Everything Garrosh Hellscream does is right,' tell them to grab the ceremonial knife, cut their finger, mark a big X in blood and that works," a spokesmen for the shamans said.
When asked about the lack of choices, the spokesman said, "Hey, they get a free cup of coffee or tea for showing they voted. That's a choice. FOR THE HORDE!"
While nearly all Azerothians live in autocratic societies, some do live under leaders who hope to change things with votes. "It's how I came to power, a long time ago, you see," said Gnome High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque, who then put listeners to sleep while describing a vote tallying machine and its construction, along with detailed political policies heavy in jargon.
Others hope to change things in other ways. "Basic campfire for all!!!" screamed Orc renegade Kuhll Mohxxz and Troll comrade Chay to a group of young, poor idealist Horde members gathered in the Cleft of Shadow, before leaving on personalized motorcycles.
