My main account was disabled so I had to post on a secondary account, thus I don't show up as Krekmar.

But look at this linky-link! Ahoi-oi!

I want to make sure that when I come back, I can do so in full. Not sporadically, like before. So, enter Cataclysm and Arkogg the Mage, and we shall see.

Aye, the title says it all. Though it isn't my departure, it's definately Krekmar's. OOC-reasons, school mostly, are making it very hard for me to play the game at the moment, and this needs to have IC-consequenses. Krekmar's been pretty insolent, and it would only be logical that the Tribe would let him go.

I'll definately be back, either on Gvorogk, or on my planned Orc Mage, but at least not for a few months. So, have a good one, and I'll see you later.

Oh, and sorry Krogon. Too bad I ain't getting to know my tutor.

... because I'll be trying out this new game I recently aquired: Global Agenda. Being the lone wolf he is, ICly we'll say he just took another break from civilization.

The lost alpha version of Orgrimmar makes this filthy greenskin cry big crocolisk-tears... <=´C

Just read through WoW.com's latest [1.Local], and just wanted to share two neat pieces of it that I found enjoyable.

We'll start off with some humour:

"We interrupt this edition of [1.Local] for this declaration on the state of the world post-Icecrown, just in from reader "Garrosh" (whom we suspect may be the Orc himself, given the abrasive use of capslock):

IN CELEBRATION AND HONOR OF THE GREAT VICTORIES THE HORDE HAS AND WILL SECURE UNDER MY LEADERSHIP, WE ARE GOING TO BE RENAMING MANY OF OUR FINE CITIES AND TOWNS:

HAMMERFALL IS NOW CALLED GARROSHIRE
THE CROSSROADS SHALL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS THE GARROSHROADS

ALL COMMON OBJECTS SHALL REFLECT THE SUPERIORITY OF THE HORDE. NO MORE REFERENCES TO THE ALLIANCE:

WESTFALL STEW SHALL HENCEFORTH BE KNOWN AS GARROSH GOULASH
STORMWIND BRIE IS NOW CALLED GARROSH GOUDA
DWARVEN SNOW BOOTS SHALL BE KNOWN AS GARROSHES

BLOOD AND THUNDER! LOK'TAR OGAR!

And then a very clearsighted run-down of just WHY Varian Wrynn has valid reasons to be royally pissed on the Horde:

"The lessons of Wrathgate
'This comment gets it,' notes blogger Matt Rossi, 'and should be in [1. Local].' Simply put: we agree.


DragonFireKai: The thing people need to remember about Varian when they say that he should look beyond the past and give peace a chance is that he did look beyond his past and gave peace a chance -- not once, not twice, but thrice. The whole kidnapped-and-turned-into-a-gladiator-by-bloodthirsty-orcs thing? He was on his way to a peace summit with the Horde when it happened. Jaina convinced him to attempt to set up another conference with the Horde. Thrall showed up, brought Garrosh (who was his usual rabid self), and Thrall also brought Rehgar Earthfury, the bloodthirsty orc who had kidnapped Wrynn and forced him fight in Dire Maul. Real smart, Thrall, real smart. Why didn't Wrynn remember to have a necromancer raise Blackmoore so Thrall could get the same feeling?

And to make things worse, the Twilight's Hammer cult decided to use that opportunity to attempt to kill Wrynn, using a mind-controlled orc. That orc was Garona Halforcen, the same orc who stabbed Wrynn's father through the heart before his eyes as a child. That looks real bad for the Horde there. But Wrynn decides to take the high road, and rather than declare war on the horde, he focuses the Alliance's efforts against the Scourge, forsaking true peace in favor of detente. But the Forsaken strike, dealing a crushing blow to the war effort, killing thousands of Alliance soldiers in Howling Fjord, and thousands more at the Wrathgate, including Bolvar Fordragon.

Even so, Wrynn decides to make a surgical strike on the Undercity. In the Undercity, he's presented with the full extent of the machinations of the Horde, and who does he find standing in the Undercity's throne room, fresh after this discovery? Thrall, with a small army behind him. Yeah, that looks real good for the Horde. Especially since dreadlords don't leave corpses, so he can't know that they just finished off Varimathras.

The true irony of the situation is that Varian Wrynn was long the most moderate of the Alliance leaders. After the defeat of the Horde in the second war, the accepted plan was to execute every last orc on Azeroth. No survivors. Wrynn convinced the alliance leadership to simply contain the orc in internment camps. King Terenas wanted to kill them all, King Greymane wanted to kill them all, Lord Proudmoore never stopped wanting to kill them all, Magni agreed after the siege of Ironforge, King Sunstrider wanted to kill them all.

The lone dissenting voice was that of King Wrynn, the man who had lost more to the orcs than any other, convinced the Alliance to let the orc live. And yet, the actions and inactions of the Horde since then has been enough to convince the most tolerant of the lords of the Alliance that they are a threat to the survival of the Alliance greater than Yogg-Saron. Not all of it is the Horde's fault directly -- but a large amount of it is."

Hehe. All of that sounds fun to RP - but just a nod for you all: Thou shalt naught leave it open to Me. That's what I think is the charm, that I'll be taking part of your lore; a character you created. However, knowing myself, I'll probably not be able to find the courage (motivation) to level more than two Orcs until the Cataclysm (with one being a Death Knight), and undoubtably I'd level one during the X-Pack, but that's only three o' 'em. What I'm getting at is that I'd love to take part of several of your suggestions, since I really fancy playing as "someone else's character". So, anyone feel struck with their relative being a Death Knight? Or any of the normal classes (including the post-Cata class Mage, ofc)?

I am looking for an excuse to create moar Orcsies, and I am wondering if anyone needs a character connected to their own lore? Like family ties and such? Would love to do something silly like that (yes, I know you haven't heard even the smallest squeek from me in... months(?) but since I failed to get into raiding in the beginning (palaladins are a boar... err, bore) and WotLK wasn't very alt-friendly like Cata will be, so I kinda dropped out temporarily. However, I would like to make a comeback within a... reachable future, at the least, and would like to commit myself to more personal RP, compared to the 'lone-wolf' I've been doing for 4 years now. Just curious 'bout if anyone's been needing anything like't, 'tis all.

I don't remember Kräk mer.. err! Krekmar.

But I do remember that necromancer.

I swear! It wasn't my fault! He asked me to do it OOCly! and My IC-self couldn't avoid doing it!

It was horrible! The poor wolf reanimated as a horrible undead!

Ah what the heck, I loved it.

Awgh? I have to re-apply? May your bewildered facial hair be burnt upon a bonfire!

Pointing you to my old application; that could potentially refresh the memory. Some slight details have been retconned since then, though.

http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php?topic=1556.0

Does anyone remember Krekmar? The wolfhandler Worggut who lost his companion Kim'sha and joined the ORB, but then vanished when a malicious necromancer of The Ebon Hold got a grip of him and Kim'sha's corpse? Well, he might, potentially be back.
The necromancer is dead, and so is the reincarnated Kim'sha. Overcome with grief, he seeks a way back to the Red Blades? Will you welcome him anew?

Short version: Hi again.

Yeh supah dupah powahful purplez warlock beem!

Gnash, your portrait is done! Go check it out!

Aight. I'll try to squeeze you both in during the weekend, since I'm also keen to level up Krekmar to at least 68; Northrend; w00tLK.
