Occam's Raiders is currently recruiting to fill gaps in our roster and prepare for the arrival of Icecrown. Being not even as creative as Susurri, I'll just jump to the point....

We need Warlocks, Mages, Priests, and Tanks. Previously we have been willing to accept applicants with sub-standard gear so long as they displayed a certain amount of experience and knowledge. However, at this stage, we do not have the time to gear people up. While we will not be checking gear scores, we expect all applicants to appear prepared for raiding in Icecrown - hopefully all applicants are aware of what that means. Also, we are primarily interested in the classes listed above, however any exceptional application will be considered, regardless of class or spec.

If you have any questions feel free to whisper any of the officers in game (listed below)

-Hike

Officers:
-Hike / Chixen
-Radik
-Susurri / Senova
-Pesto
-Somhrita

Being not nearly as clever as Radik, the best I can say is that we finished 10 ToGC tonight with precisely 45 attempts remaining, yielding us this awesome achievement (in fact, we got to Anub'arak with all 50!)

BLIZZARD RUNNING LOW ON IDEAS, ADMITS TO HIRING CRACK BABIES FOR INSPIRATION

In a press release on Wednesday, a Blizzard spokes-person announced that not one single writer on their staff "knew what was going on", mostly because they are all crack babies between the ages of 5 and 11.  The WoW populace was somewhat astonished by this fact, but most agreed they had already known deep down that this was the case.  Still, others stubbornly disagree and insist the writers are a bunch of retarded Goldfish.

Blizzard admitted to hiring crack babies after the most recent (SPOILER) announcement that Anub'Arak would be the last boss in the Argent Coliseum, to which everyone responded "but he died". For those of you who may have forgotten, Anub'Arak was the final boss in Azjol-Nerub, where a bunch of level 72's can still be seen to this day face-rolling their way to, and killing Anub-Arak, without the slightest problem.  If at this point you don't understand the inherent stupidity of Anub-Arak being the final boss in the Argent Coliseum, let me lay it out for you:

Here is a picture of Anub-Arak alive as a level 74 elite: ALIVE
Now is a picture of him Dead: BLARG
Now is a picture of the Arcitc Fur which I skinned from him: SURELY HE IS DEAD
Now is a picture of him alive in Argent Coliseum: LOL PSYCH!
And now the new in-game mail a player will get upon killing him in 3.2: ^_^

This hasn't been the first time someone has died and magically reappeared.  The trend was started by Baron Rivendare who died millions of times in Vanilla WoW while living in Stratholme, reappeared in Naxxramas (vanilla WoW) to die millions of times AGAIN, then reappeared in Naxxramas (for WotLK) to die yet more millions of times. And the crazy thing is that he can still be seen in Stratholme as a level 60 Elite to this day.

Some people say that Blizzard has created a beautiful thing here by reusing dead characters whenever they want.  However, smart people would point out that the lore of this game is equivalent to making someone with Alzheimers read a book backwards while having a monkey throw poo at them.

THORIM RECENTLY BUFFED; GUILD LEARNS THE HARD WAY

Yesterday we had a rough time on Thorim.  We just couldn't seem to get our composition right for the split between arena and the hallway.  Last time we 3-shotted him, although admittedly it WAS a little messy. However, last night was ridiculous, the bastard just wouldn't drop!

So, being the detective that I am, I went and searched through all Blue Posts known to man.  It took me 18 days, 32 hours and 506 minutes (true figures) since yesterday to figure out if there was something we were missing.  Finally, I found the answer to our problem!  Here is a blue post describing the changes they made last Tuesday to Thorim!!! This is really really really a real blue post, really!

Here's an excerpt: "Thorim ... will ... pulverize you ... Occam's Raiders" (source)

GUILD LEADER EXCITED TO DISCOVER THERE WERE 14 OF HIM

Last night while taking a study break, Guild Leader of Occam's Raiders was delighted to discover there were 14 of him online!

Observers applauded this fantastic discovery, but investigators question the picture's integrity since it claims 12 Guests were on at the same time as well, a feat never accomplished by any wowstead website.

Consequently, the entirety of wowstead crashed, to which a representative responded "these websites were never intended to be viewed by anyone in the first place, let alone 26 people at the same time".

The wowstead admins say they hope to get the server back up by October 2012, but caution everyone not to use their websites, since they were never actually intended for that purpose.

GUILD LEADER WAS STUNNED TO DISCOVER THAT YES, THIS WEBSITE IS FREE

During a routine forum post, Guild Leader of Occam's Raiders discovered that, yes, in fact this website is utterly free.  Although easily customizable, the Guild Leader was miffed when he discovered that the drop-down box for changing fonts was created entirely for aesthetic pleasure and to promote the facade of customizability (a new word!).

Case in point, most ASCII art requires an evenly spaced font like Courier New so the pictures look like what they're meant to look like:

	               $$.*..*...$$$*$                                  *$$$..$
               .$.*..*.*..$$$*                     . *      .     $$$$$$ $$
                $.*..*.$$.$             **         . *      ..     *$$$$$$$
                $*.*..*.****          ******       ...   .   ..      *$$$
                $*..*..$$*.***.       ******        . *  ..  .        .$
                $*..*..$$..           ***..*.       .         ...       .
                $*.*.*$$***..         ******          *. ..              .
                ***.**$$$..*.           **            *  **...            .
                *$$***$$$$*** .                     . ** .*..              .
                 $***.$$$$***..                     .  * *               .**.
                 *$$.$$$***...                        *  ..              .****
                  **..$.$$$*$$*$$*$...              * ** *                ****
                  ****$$$**.**..*...                *  *   *..        **  ***
                  *$$$$$***$$**.*..                *  * **.....            *.
                   *$$$$$******                         * .$..*.           .
                   *$*******..*..*..* . *.    .. . * * *  *..**..*..      .
                    *************..**... **** .*       ..  **..*.         .
                    $*******.. *** $$ $ $$  *         ** .  ****.. .  .  *
                     ****************$$*              * * ..  *..      .'
                      $***************                 *.   .   *'*. .*

	

	

	

	

	

	Multiple Choice Question:  Is this a picture of...

	

A.) Mickey Mouse's lazy eye
B.) View from inside the Death Star as the Millenium Falcon is stuck in its tractor beam
C.) Boobs

If you guessed 'C', congratulations, you have Aspergers and probably look like this .


However, for us normies, by no stretch of the imagination does this picture say "boobs".  Yes, this was an ASCII nudey, yet anyone with an elementary understanding of human boobage can tell that these are not healthy boobs.  The problem lies not with the artist, who is special in his own right for getting his jollies off to ASCII PRON, but with this websites inability to use any font aside form "FONT FAMILY" which is clearly not a real font anyway.  Even after scrolling and selecting "Courier New" the website responds with "WHY DONT YOU TRY FONT FAMILY INSTEAD   :----D".
