[QUOTE=wonderlust] The party is open to all guildies, even those who don’t fish. I’m open to time and place, and probably least informed of anyone. I don’t know how low our levels go for members without alts, but one possibility is Thunder Bluff, with the Faire (shooting out of the cannon is fun!) and fishing spots all around. Demo and Pleonast sound experienced in party planning. We could fish or play anywhere fun, so suggest away! Is evening better for most people? Afternoon? Weigh in. Demo, sorry to hear about the braces. You cows have some nasty teeth, I bet. [/QUOTE] Wait, a troll saying a tauren has bad teeth? Look in the mirror! Or, are you saying he needs to grow his tusks out more? 😃 \<- perfect teeth smiley With the Faire going on, Thunderbluff sounds like a good choice. Isn’t there a nice fishing lake next to Bloodhoof village? Even low level players can easily make the run to Mulgore; just stay on the roads. As for time, I’ll be available Saturday morning, Pacific Time, but I’m typically on and off a lot, so don’t force the schedule around me. ---

Kruler’s bringing the scotch, and if we imbibe enough, maybe we could do a naked conga-line through ThunderBluff. ---

Our birthday/fishing party will be tomorrow (Saturday), Thunder Bluff, afternoon/evening server time. If you’ve never fished, don’t worry, we can fix you up with a pole and show you how, no skill required. If you don’t want to fish, you can still come to goof around and entertain us. 🙂 Don’t forget to get shot out of the cannon! ---

Valorcall …and guess who happened along at the very moment… [![](https://tinypic.com/images/goodbye.jpg) ](https://tinypic.com/images/goodbye.jpg) Sometimes things just kind of come together and take care of themselves. ---

Hehe. That’s an awesome pic! The fishing party is still going on as I post this! [Here’s a pic.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/9088628@N04/2408953552/sizes/l/) Incidentally, what’s been decided about off board folks joining. The 'lock hanging out (Driak) is a close friend.

Aruvqan, real life trumps game life. 🙂 Sounds like you had a nice evening anyway. A message to the shy lurker who “Hi Opal”'d me in Thunder Bluff: I hope you’ll consider joining the guild. It’s a friendly group, and the best part of the game, in my opinion. We’d love to have you. ---

I’m sorry I missed the party! We were running around here from about noon all the way to late evening and I didn’t get the chance. Happy birthday late, **wonderlust**! Procedural question: How many toons in the guild per person is too many? I’ve been working up some alts and now have four toons total. (I have a touch of alt-itis) ---

Ah man, i wanted to make the party too, but we decided to play real life WoW(camping) at the last minute. Looks like good times! ---

So any business that needs to be taken care of in the next week by me should be brought up today or tomorrow, I’ll be out of town (playing at Carnegie Hall!) without WoW access from Thursday-Monday, if there’s anything anyone needs speak now or you’ll have to wait until next week Tuesday (at the earliest) for it to be done. ---

Anyone else suffering severe lag issues on the Caine server? Or is it just me? I log in, and my lag bar starts yellow-green, then almost immediately yellow, orange, then red. It’s happened the last three times I’ve tried playing. I died Friday in the Barrens because of that stupid lag. The zone didn’t even seem that busy when I logged in. I don’t have the problem on my ‘regular’ server (Windrunner) or the other server I occasionally play on (Boulderfist). I guess I’m wondering what’s up. ---
