You may have noticed that I recently added Klynx as a contributor to the Life e-Casual.  You may have also noticed that I frequently failed to keep up with my intended daily entry this month.  Sadly my real life constraints (yes, I have a life outside sweet, sweet WoW) this month have been intense between work, school, family and resumption of my fitness training. However, I still owe a duty to my dear, cherished readers to provide them content when I am unavailable. Power abhors a vacuum and so does the Life e-Casual.

The Next Jasi?
Unfortunately Holyfusion was unavailable for consultation on an issue this delicate, so I decided to learn from the example set by the hokage of the WoW blogging community, Ming.  He, too, dealt with the difficulty of his real life responsibilities interfering with his blogging. His solution: bring Jasi onboard as a counterpoint to his dark chakra. My beige chakra demands no less, so Klynx will hopefully be able to contribute when my jutsus are lacking.

Skirmish Blogging
I should note this is on a purely casual basis. I've spoken to Klynx at length and have read some of his writing. I think he has potential with practice, particularly on some subjects of which I am ignorant. He is under no obligation but this is a fun place to hone one's writing skills. I only humbly ask that you give him a fair read and see how it goes. Look at it this way: instead of reading no new e-casual content you can read something fresh.



Now if I could just find an e-marketer to help promote the blog. Tempus fugit. :(

P.S. No disrespect intended toward Ming. Without him I wouldn't even be blogging here. I just find Naruto hilarious. Much <3.

its really your nerdy serious audience, no offense, vs hiring klynx who clashes with that.  i mean you should've hired like kavekk or something, if you spoonfed him what to blog about.  otherwise he'd probably put everyone to sleep...

I'm trying not to clash much with my writing.  Come back this weekend when my first post goes up and tell me what you think.

I'm sure he'll say that you're too politically correct, that you love the government, that you hate drugs, that you're virgin and that you're a nerd that lives in your moms basement.  That's what everyone is, amirite?

Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.

i really dont know what your problem is, you seem really hung up over me telling it like it is like months ago ;p

i mean if you cant ever even pick a side to take in anything, w/ consistency, thats being extremely politically correct to a fault, and completely unrealistic.  basically living in a faerie tale world of being afraid to offend anyone...while having the nerve to pretend i'm so wrong for having the balls to actually say these politically incorrect things that have truth to them.

i dont even recall directly ****'ing on you for you to be so bitter at me, unless you post on alts of course to attack me.

the difference is i pretty much back everything i say.  I give reasons, i expect rebuttles, but most of you cant.  so it just turns into namecalling, and me calling you names back, then you get all bitter with your thin emo skin and make comments like this out of the blue.  i mean when i talk politics i give examples, and make logical arguments, and you want to summarize it like i just accuse for no reason?  its just funny how alot of you play yourselves and sum me up, when i'm the one backing my **** up 99% of the time.

whatever tho.  my original comment in this blog was so true too, and its funny some of you are such pansies you cant even handle it.  Lets not pretend Roma attracts a certain type of audience here, and i never meant to insult Roma on a personal lvl because hes never really attacked me. he does write very textbook, and he draws an audience that prefers that textbook, almost high brow, professional writing focused crowd.  but not everyone thinks that style of writing is as great as some of you, and simply put, Klynx nor many others write that way, nor really cater to that same crowd. 

Go ahead and pretend i just fukked you up the ass for no reason, its your thin emo skin more than me being some ******* on this one.

If this was aimed at me, then I say... yes, yes I did. As someone with arena e-business aspirations it's only natural that I get familiar with the market on a, uh, first hand basis.

As a piece of interesting trivia, JIGGIDYJOOFZ has made two comments on GR so far.

"you have downs"

"you bought shoulders"

Not to my knowledge. There was a misunderstanding about some teasing comments I made during the blogging contest, but they were only meant as light humor. AFAIK there's nothing else going on.

Well, other than he's a much better blog promoter than I will ever be. /envy

Believe it or not, despite working at a movie theater as a Projectionist/Manager for a few years, I don't watch that many movies.  I've seen bits and pieces of 2001 and clockwork orange, but the only thing I've watched all the way through was Full Metal Jacket which I enjoyed. 

I probably should get a netflix account and catch up on a lot of the stuff that might interest me.

Yes you should. Every single one of Kurbrick's movies is a masterpiece except for "Eyes wide shut" (I blame Tom Cruise) and his early gangsters Black-and-White thrillers.

It's neither, both Jasi and Ming are very successful here.   Ming is simply more into the element of human drama in WoW while Jasi writes more about the game/gameplay. 

That isn't saying Ming never writes about the game either, he does it well when it's his topic.

Klynx? As in Klynx the terrible rogue from Archimonde? I remember your long, drawn-out diatribes about how awesome you are because you managed to gank some AFK 60-something players when you were 70.

Here's hoping your blogging isn't as bad.

Good luck, I guess.

If you're referring to Cenarion Refuge ganking addiction I've had for most of the past year, then yes it is the same Klynx.  And I am awesome for killing hundreds of low 60s players a day with no repercussions.  The forum posts were run of the mill trollbaiting and garnered 6-7 pages of responses per post from my server alone.  The more self-aggrandizing I am about killing helpless lowbies in Cenarion Refuge, the funnier it is to see people respond with total rancor about how stupid it is that I ganked them over and over and how I should get a life and leave low level zones.

I might also do a blog with pictures about the "cen ref experience" and lay out the tricks and exact map of guard aggro and stormcrow pathing.  Would be a funny piece.

You are most likely also confusing me ganking 60s players at 70 with my ganking of 70s at 61.  I posted copiously about that on the forums and some players (Cloakedghost) are still laughed at by their horde friends about how they should "shut up and get ganked by level 61 moonkins more".

Thanks for the good luck.  Give it a read and tell me what you think this weekend!

This would be useful.  My rogue is hitting 70 soon, and I have no intention of doing much more than camping lowbies.

In my heyday, before I got the full time job and school taking up my afternoons, I would camp cenarion refuge for hours with my mage (who is now hunter) friend.  We would get 1300-1400 honor a day without leaving cenarion refuge.  Now with instant honor and non diminishing returns, you could easily get a piece of gear every week and a half from simply ganking.

I also try and go shadowstep daggers if I can spare the constant respecs just to blow up lowbies even more.  That's where I got my 6k ambush on a 70 mage, in fact.  As awesome bonus, people get ticked and sound the horn, bringing in their mains and any guildies or friends they can gather to counter gank you for killing their lowbie 5 times in a row.  Then you get some real world pvp stirred up.

I could go on about this for a long time, but I think I'll save it for the article.

No, this is the Klynx that plays on Archimonde and regales the forums with riveting tales of mystery and suspense about ganking newbs and stealing women.

Seriously, I don't know where you could possibly gather that.  The only forum posts on my server forums have been to taunt people I've killed and/or to post screenshots of the same thing.  How could I get outplayed at ganking people?  Good first try at a flame though, you'll get better with time and practice.

Pretty much every other post on there is you trash talking or whining about ****. Also, Do you buy points on your 3v3 team? Or do you just not play PvP in any
competitive atmosphere?

You are the laughing stock of the server. The only thing you are known for is camping Cenarion Refuge and using the guards to gank people.

Too bad Roma didn't actually look at your reputation before he invited you to contribute to this blog. Just do us all a favor and don't **** on his goldmine.

Some gems from the link you just gave:

Rofl.... Klynx would stomp you even if he went all Buddhist-style just shiving.

I think Klynx is a pretty cool guy. he ganks horde and isn't afraid of anything

That's right, for a limited time only, Klynx is in Orgrimmar ganking your nubs. Be afraid, I am everywhere and anywhere.



WHO WANTS TO COME WITH ME TO ARBYS?

anyone trim their gooch? just feelin out the crowd.


I don't see any whining... and mostly good natured trash talking from old time server enemies.

The only thing you are known for is camping Cenarion Refuge and using the guards to gank people.

How do you "use the guards to gank people"?  I'd like to learn that one.  I'm pretty sure everyone on my server knows I'm a huge trash talker and enjoys jumping in my world PvP chaos when I stir it up.

Some of these are priceless:

"
And yes, my opinion on pvp is much better informed than you and I am
better at it than you. Grats again on beard, its really cool and I bet
you pick up ALL the ladies when you bring it out to the club.

Yeah, Kokoro got me all my gear. I owe him my life and well-being.

PS more alliance side rogues than not got their S3 weaps (1850 rating) from someone else. Get with the times, old man." -Klynx

"
If I win a 2v1 I am god and you are suckfaces. If I lose a 2v1 thats what SHOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE 2 AGAINST ME.

Does Silent Decay/Final Destiny have a circle jerk planned for
later? I mean seriously they travel in a group of a dozen and are sore
losers to the max.

Got Orchunter, got Linage, got Mastaknight solo. You guys are, therefore, suckfaces." -Klynx

"
LOL I like that last post. As for Klynx, you truly are
a sub par rogue. I recall facing you and Kokoro in 2v2. I spec disc
with my 1k +heal and my partner in 2/5 s2 with s1 weapons. HE DROPPED
YOUR ASS FLAT. Clutch heal by koko saved your life. only reason you won
is cuz I could never outheal koko and lack the skill exp as healer to
even come close. Point is you are bad and ganking then crying about
getting ganked only makes you look worse. Grats on your gold bought s3.
scrub ass piece of *!*!" -Subdue
