From all of us here at Flashbang Exports, Happy New Year!

May it be filled with wealth, health and profits galore. Or anything else you may desire, if gold ain’t your game. We’re proud to be part of the Moon Guard community and look forward to continuing growth in our ‘boomtastic’ sort of way.

I introduced a new guild RP event this month - the Flashbang DEMOLITION DERBY!

For our first event, we went to the Feralas Steam Pools Resort. It’s a great RP location with lots of goblin themes and nice and quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the city.

So we could REV OUR ENGINES and BLAST EVERYONE TO BITS with our Crashin’ Thrashin’ Tonks!

Competitors and spectators line up to show off their tonks:

Feyzapp is congratulated by Hercula as he wins 15,000g in prize money!

Our next Flashbang Demolition Derby will be next month on Sat 1st Feb.

I just wanted to say how awesome this guild is! I’ve been a member for over a year and the guild keeps getting better and better. We have awesome RP events, a casualish but very solid all goblin raiding team, and great mythics+ progression. All the while never taking ourselves too seriously… Hey we are Goblins after all! :smile:

And I think we invented the term Booty-pull! :rofl:

Flywheel Mahoney knocked on the door of Hercula’s office, barging in before she had time to reply.

“Flywheel! Well, this is a surprise…” Hercula Hagglegood spluttered, rising up from her desk chair. “I was just…uh, checkin’ the wages. Gotta pay 'em chumps good if ya wanna keep 'em loyal.”

The priestess of the First National Church of Kezan snorted and strode inside, perching on the edge of the large rectangular oak desk. There was a bright spark of fire in her eyes, one that Hercula had never seen before.

“Yeah, toots. Thanks for covering my butt while I was away on ‘vacation’. I got everything sorted. Now, gimme back my chair.” Flywheel appeared to be in no mood for small talk.

“You’re firing me?!” Hercula cried angrily, her muscular fists clenching into a ball. No one beat down on The Herc! Not even in the Footbomb Finals did anyone so much as land a blow on her. But this…this stung like a slug in the noggin’. “But…after all I’ve done for ya!”

Flywheel raised both hands in the air, shaking them dismissively. “Relax, would ya? I’m not punting ya down to the bottom of the ladder. Maybe just a rung or two. Now, it’s good that the place has crumbled to pieces in my absence, but we got shiz we gotta deal with. And I needa be at the reins to command my armies.”

Hercula frowned, grumbling as she eased her thick frame out of the deluxe padded leather chair (complete with specially molded arm rests). “I suppose then. But I coulda used a bit more notice. Gilzleby isn’t gonna like all this paperwork. Ya know how many forms he’s gonna have to sign to switch things back over?”

“Bah. Details. I got more important things to worry about, Herc. Now, where’s that map of Silverpine Forest?” Flywheel sat down and yanked open a desk drawer, rummaging through the neatly stacked papers (The neatness was attributed to the Executive Secretary, Gilzleby. The truth was, Hercula had barely lifted a finger while she’d been Head Executive, preferring to watch sports on the Gnome-o-Box.)

“What’s in Silverpine?” Hercula inquired politely, taking a long, last look around the luxurious office suite. She was gonna miss this place. “Nothing in Silverpine but walking dead and wolfmen.”

“Thieves and scoundrels!” Flywheel barked, somewhat sharper than she’d intended. “I lost a valuable azerite shipment to a filthy warlock. Damn felguard nearly cleaved me in half!” Flywheel pointed emphatically to a spot on her upper ribcage. “That kinda insult isn’t goin’ unanswered.”

Hercula frowned with concern, then eyed the priestess admirably. “Heck, why didn’t ya call for help?”

“I did call! No one freakin’ picked up the radio!” Flywheel slammed the desk drawer shut. The map wasn’t there. “That’s why I need bodyguards from now on. You and Zygoxx. I need someone who knows fel magic. I am NEVER gettin’ beaten up by a gnome again.”

Hercula grinned. “You got it, boss. I’ll go tell the others.”

Hey all,

Just a reminder the Flashbang Exports is a goblin-only guild, and therefore any vulpera that would like to join forces with us will need to join FLASHBANG ASSOCIATES, our sister guild. (GM: Lothaux, Discord: Rivetex#8220)

Flashbang Associates is a smaller, but still relatively active guild that shares their discord with Flashbang Exports. Accepting Horde folks from any race, it is a relaxed guild bound by the common theme to work with (or as an employee of) the goblins of Flashbang Exports.

As a conglomerate, Flashbang Associates and Flashbang Exports is referred to as ‘The Flashbang Empire’ and we have a in-game Horde community linking the two guilds which can be accessed by copying and pasting the following link into the Guild /Community Finder tool:
GMnjKP7tqBm

Also, please take a moment to reflect on some of Walkan’s Words of Wisdom (now released as a book in hardcover!)
“Employees are the rungs on the ladder of success… don’t hesitate to step on them.”

Flashbang is where the FUN is at!

Get in the queue, gnome. If I had a gold piece for every filthy rotten shortstack that claimed they were gonna ‘take us down’ (us, being the almighty and intelligent Flashbang goblins)…I’d be even more stinkin’ rich!

Bring it on, pal. Ya might as well be punchin’ air. There isn’t a cohesive leader amongst the lot of ya!

Who knew that goblins could be so organised and structured?! gasps

Recently Flashbang Exports hosted a fishing contest at Windshear Crag in Stonetalon Mountains. We got to see first-hand the pollution caused by the Venture Co. logging operations. Amongst the items caught were Oil-Covered Fish, Sickly Fish, Acidic Slime, engineering bits and bobs, and even rocks! We decided NOT to cook up the spoils of the event for dinner. But the participants did walk away with some great cash prizes!

The Flashbang Fishing Extravaganza is a monthly guild event that invites goblins to try their fishing skills at different locations around Azeroth. We’ve been to Booty Bay, Bogpaddle, Gadgetzan, and now Windshear Crag!

This and many more fun events to take part in when you join Moon Guard’s premiere goblin-only guild: Flashbang Exports!

A gaggle of goblins gathered in the engineering workshop. On coathangers nearby on racks were a number of gnome disguise suits. Some were made of leather, complete with elaborate, life-like masks. Others were more robotic, with attachable prosthetic limbs. Finally, on a cheap white wooden table was a sign that read: 'Body paints supplied by Malevic Wyrmhook - wholesale and retail cadaver make-up".

“Are ya sure we can trust this stuff to stay on?” Flywheel asked the assembled goblins, as she squeezed our some fleshy-colored globs from the tube and began wiping it all over her green face. “I don’t reckon that forsaken fella has ever been undercover with stakes as high as this.”

Fizzrizz ignored the other goblin’s complaints as she struggled into her gel-padded body suite. She wasn’t particularly fond of the extra rolls of padding around the waist either.

“I think I’ve locked onto some co-ordinates, hacking into the gnomish radio signals,” Technical Specialist - Scheki Shorthook exclaimed, as she tapped the multi-coloured buttons on the teleporter control panel. Suddenly there was a crackle and a spark, and all the lights on the machine suddenly went out.

Flywheel checked her appearance in the mirror, before letting out an exasperated sigh. She wasn’t a perfect-looking gnome, but this would have to do. Perfection was for chumps! “We’re just gonna have to go in the old fashioned way. Fizzrizz, can ya open up a mage portal by triangulating Scheki’s co-ordinates?!”

Fizzrizz nodded. “I think I can. Step into the yellow portal on the count of 3. I can’t hold it long, there’s too much interference. Ready? 3, 2, 1…GO!”

(A few seconds later…)

"We made it, " Flywheel hissed, motioning everyone to keep their voices down. “Looks like we’re in some kind of tavern. What’s that sign say?”

“The Pig and Whistle Tavern,” said a pink-haired ‘gnome’ with a large fluffy beard.

“Good work, Dizzy. Seems like your eyes are workin’ alright. Does everyone have their name badges on?”

“Call me Snowfloss,” said Fizzrizz, flipping a poofy pigtail.

“Gizellby here, reporting for duty ma’am.” said a gnome that looked like a vaguely robotic version of the goblin shaman Gilzleby.

“Good. I’m going by the name Speckledot Wheelfly. Now, remember the goal. Infiltrate the Alliance. Be INCONSPICUOUS. We gotta walk the talk, and do the waddle.” In her hot little hands, ‘Speckledot’ the read from a thick manual entitled, “How to behave like a gnome, 101”.

“The first thing it says here is to speak using technical words and slightly military-ish speech. I read that as speak gibberish. Let’s give it a try!”

The gaggle of goblins-disguised-as-gnomes all practised their best technical phrases, punctuated with excessive explosions and hand gesticulations.

“Excellent. I think we got this!” ‘Speckledot’ declared proudly. “What’s our likelihood of detection, Schekidamus?” ‘Speckledot’ glanced over at her Technical Specialist, who was strangely quiet and staring off into space. A tendril of drool dangled from her bottom lip.

“What are ya doin’?!” ‘Speckledot’ demanded impatiently.

‘Schekidamus’ slurped up her slobber and grinned back with a chuckle. “I’m practising lookin’ like an idiot!”

There’s a crazy rumor goin’ around that those Flashbang goblins have gotten their hands on some -completely- failsafe gnome-impersonation costumes, and are planning to infiltrate Stormwind at precisely 9pm server time Saturday night!

Don’t ask me, I’m just a children’s party entertainer (what, ya haven’t heard of Alfunzo the Clown-…I mean, Alfunzo the GREAT?!)

My sources are extremely -reliable- and apparently some poor mook lost his shoes to bring us this incredibly important update. The note read: “Mission 1: Find and interrogate gnome scientists. Mission 2: Steal their tech and claim we invented it.”

On second thoughts, we better not let this valuable intel fall into the wrong hands.

Forget I said anythin’, would ya?

This weekend, Flashbang Exports is having another Fishing Extravaganza!

Come to Bittertide Lake in Sholazar Basin and fish furiously for 10 minutes amongst a group of seasoned (or not so seasoned) anglers. All rods, bait, and stupid costumes allowed!

Cash prizes of 500g, 1000g, and 2000g to be won.

The event will be held at 9pm on Sat 29th Feb. Contact Flywheel (Discord: Flywheel#4087) for more details or an invite.

Hey Moon Guard,

I heard ya’ll been having a bit of a GNOME problem. And by problem I mean SHORTAGE.

Get it? Short…gnomes…Ah, I crack myself up.

But seriously, due to your obvious incapacity to produce fiendish villains of appropriate size to thwart the almighty Flashbang Exports goblins, we’ve decided to help you guys out a bit.

And by helping, I mean blowing things up. Ya’ll might find us causing trouble in your precious little white-washed city, selling ‘cute’ elekk plushies, and offering ‘free’ eyebrow manicures. What proper gnome does not possess AMAZING eyebrows?!

In any case, if ya’ll do happen to spot us, don’t forget to give us a wave. Or maybe even grab a selfie, like our good pal Hygour.

How does our schedule compare to yours?

As the sun went down, the Flashbang Exports goblins hung up their hats from the factory and gathered for important business discussions in their base, located in Fuselight, Badlands.

https://i.imgur.com/qgOE7ie.png

Lothaux, our fill-in Executive Secretary from Flashbang Associates took minutes for the meeting. Included below are a few of the more intriguing excerpts:

“Walkan takes the stage. Offers Walkan’s Words of Wisdom number thirteen. “Anything worth doing is worth doing for money.” He demonstrates on Ladela. Pretends that she is having a bad day. He first comforts her and does not ask for pay, this is incorrect. He then comforts her and asks for pay. This is correct.”

“Opfuz is late and takes the stage. --(Charge one and a half times the customary late fees.)–
He informs the assembled that he has made a deal with ‘The Tentacles’. They are his friends, they speak to him in his head, and live on his close. As payment for this they make his fire spells stronger. --(Please offer a psychological evaluation and contact the insurance agent to make sure that we are covered in the case of corruption and the like.)–”

“Scheki wins the Employee of the Month for March. Her prize is five thousand gold pieces and a Lord Woofington pet.
During her acceptance speech she offers everyone and unspecified discount on their next purchase at her workshop. She then informs the assembled that she will be equipping all saleable merchandise with tracking equipment and bombs. This will be done as an anti-piracy measure. Saleable bombs with be equipped with bogger bombs and possibly tentacles holding bombs. --(Unknown feasibility.)–”

"Operation: Gnomer-Not. Goal is to disguise goblins as gnomes and infiltrate Stormwind City.
Summary of findings:
1.) There is a shortage of male gnomes. This is possibly due to fertility issues and may make them an endangered species. --(Review definition of endangered species in reference to sapient species.)–
2.) A lack of Gnomish ingenuity means that Goblin tech is ahead of theirs and thus is, ‘winning’. --(Meaning unclear.)–
3.) Mekkatorque, also known as ‘Mekkastink’, is the only gnome with one half of a brain.
4.) The allies of the gnomes have been ambushed and interrogated.
4. a.) Humans wilted at the sight of a troupe of gnomes and are of no use for information.

Any suggestions or ideas regarding the location of, the capture of, or the general whereabouts of gnomes please write a letter to Miss Flywheel Mahoney."
