As a legit Pastafarian Minister, I can do nothing but approve of anything noodly.

Looted me (3) new mounts for my mount collection in the past 24-hours. Hoping to reach the 400 mounts collected achievement soon!

Mastadôn-thrall · January 13, 2019, 2:57pm

So, I am taking mount donations. I barely have the 150 achievement haha.

Perhaps I should farm weekly. Might help.

Kyzera-bloodscalp · January 13, 2019, 5:50pm

Congrats!

I am 5 away from 400. I still have 3 of the Falcosaur mounts to get from Legion so that will help. Hmm, guess I could grind out the Argent Charger on my Horde Pally for 1 extra mount. Ugh, doing all the dailies, again … shudder.

Rufflebottom-bloodhoof · January 13, 2019, 6:23pm

Only 309 mounts usable by a single character. 355 total though.

Edit:
987 unique pets

Kyzera-bloodscalp · January 13, 2019, 6:38pm

Nice!

I really need to get to work on that - I only have 935 unique pets thus far.

Rufflebottom-bloodhoof · January 13, 2019, 6:59pm

988 now. I just got Trunks.

Gentianna-terokkar · January 13, 2019, 9:48pm

If you get suitcases, then you’ll have 989.

I’ll see myself out

Belguilos-lothar · January 13, 2019, 10:32pm

Okay, that was a mistake with Chili flavored Ramen.

Thundertotem-blackwater-raiders · January 13, 2019, 11:25pm

Made Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese sandwiches.

I quite appreciate being able to like a Blue’s comment now.

Jodariel-moon-guard · January 14, 2019, 12:12am

I’d imagine the old version was from the defunct upvote/downvote system. I agree, this is so much nicer.

Oh she’s definitely an evil menace at the moment
[/quote] PSSHHH NAAAWWH! Shes just hurting give her some space <3 just tell anduin to roll over and die and she’ll be much happier! (Just teasing) IDK! Its hard for me, I love her character since W3 and I get shes always been “EEEEVVVIL!!!”-Mermaid man. In someway or another, but I like to think shes doing it for the good of the foresaken and using the Horde as leverage, which yeah makes me feel like a big fat pawn in all of this. I did choose to side with her just because I thought saurfang was full of cheese story wise. (still feel like this)

He’s just too eh. Doesn’t possess the Orc characteristics I love, Honor, Savagery, no mercy. But we shall see what happens next patch hopefully <3

ATLAS! I finally finished Dark souls 1 <3 id say DS3 is harder, because in DS1 the difficulty is all over the place, one minute its tough then another moment its walk in the park. Where as in DS3 it ramps up more and more and more and their more stuff to micro manage in boss fights. Also in DS1 you can cheese every single boss in that game just by studying them for a moment or two.

BUT STILL! With all soulborne games everyones journey differs and it feels so good to have this one under my belt<3

Tomten-arygos · January 14, 2019, 1:19am

As to the Horde split, I still support Sylvanas Windrunner over Saurfang.

To quote myself from another thread:

And

Sylvanus gets Xal'atath

The arguments are right out of cold war history (interesting in a way calling it “history” when it was such a part of my real life for so long).

First; war is inevitable because of the basic conflicts between the two alliances

NATO vs Warsaw Pact/China becomes Horde vs Alliance

“I believe the exiles of Gilneas will never forgive the Horde for driving them away. I believe the living humans of Lordaeron think it is blasphemy that my people still hold their city. I believe the ancient divide between our allies in Silvermoon and their kin in Darnassus is not easily mended.”

“I believe the Darkspear tribe hasn’t forgotten who drove them from their islands,” she continued. “I believe every orc your age remembers being imprisoned for years in filthy camps, wallowing in despair and surviving on human scraps. I believe every human remembers the tales of the terrible Horde that caused so much destruction in its first invasion, and I believe they blame every orc for that, no matter what your people have done to redeem yourselves. And I remember very well that I and my first Forsaken were once loyal Alliance citizens. We died for that banner, and our reward was to be hunted as vermin. I believe that there will be no permanent peace with the Alliance—not unless we win it on the battlefield on our terms. And believing that, answer this, Saurfang: what use is delaying the inevitable?”

Then the assumption that the new weapons could wipe out both sides effectively ending civilization, coupled with the assumption that an Alliance first strike means an Alliance victory and an end to the Horde:

What if the Hord holds off and the Alliance strikes first?

“You are the only living creature I know who has conquered both Stormwind and Orgrimmar, Saurfang. You say a direct attack on Stormwind is impossible with our forces today. Is the same true for the Alliance? Do we have enough natural defenses in Orgrimmar to repel a surprise assault?”

“Then the Horde charges into battle and dies honorably that day, because there will be nothing else left for us but a slow death inside these walls.”

Azurite weapons subbing for fusion weapons for the MAD scenario

“ … Azurite sightings are coming in from across the world, Saurfang. We still do not know its full potential, nor does the Alliance. We only know that it will create a new generation of warfare. What will war look like in twenty years? In a hundred?”

“And by all the spirits, Sylvanas was right, no matter how strongly Saurfang tried to deny it. War would come again one day, and if both factions were strong, that war would raze entire nations. How many different peoples on Azeroth would become extinct in that fight?”

“If a hundred years of peace ends with a war that annihilates both sides, it was not a worthy goal.”

So to summarize:

The choices are; Alliance strikes first without the nukes, Horde is defeated, Horde strikes first and the divide and conquer strategy succeeds, Alliance is defeated, maintain the piece until both sides have nukes, both sides annihilated unless the prospect of annihilation itself restrains all factions.

The MAD scenario is, in fact, Saurfang’s only counter to Sylvanas’ logic, he agrees with all her assessments, but his idea of honor and his PTSD convince him that it is more honorable to risk the MAD scenario.

Whoever is writing this stuff may see Saurfang as the “good guy” because in real life it has become popular to believe that the MAD strategy worked in the real world, we haven’t had a nuclear war after all, but as written I have to agree with Sylvanas’ logic.

Real world predigest often translates into in game role play.

Dathrel-malfurion · January 14, 2019, 2:46am

Oh I always planned to turn against Sylvanas first moment I got. “War is inevitable” is a pathetically cynical bit of nonsense. “Let’s just kill everyone instead of try to live in peace with everyone”. That’s, well, yeah, as I said, evil. Desire to murder to get your way.

Saurfang supports peace. Sylvanas only supports herself.

Belguilos-lothar · January 14, 2019, 2:49am

As a Draenei, I think we should leave this planet behind and reclaim Argus. We’ve destroyed the Burning Legion, and we can’t really trust you primitives with our security anymore.

Jodariel-moon-guard · January 14, 2019, 2:51am

Go on, I’m really curious on how you’re going to go that.

Belguilos-lothar · January 14, 2019, 2:51am

We have a spaceship.

It has a big gun.

Tomten-arygos · January 14, 2019, 3:35am

Saurfang agreed with her that war was inevitable.
He even agreed that by not making war now the end result would be worse for Azeroth in the long run.
