Shagrad's Transmog Competition 23/3/2013

Today was the first competition (of hopefully many). Judges were myself and Sfengali (our GM). Entrants and winners as follows

Halren (1st prize 1000g).  Varied matching set with a nice weapon counterpoint

• Red Pointy Hat (Netherstorm)
• Crimson Silk Shoulders (Tailoring)
• Mageflame cloak (World drop)
• Staff (Dire Maul - Quest of Athen'a) - personal fave
• Waterfall Handwraps
• Mage-Fury Girdle (Slave pens)
• Coldwraith boots (random drop LK expansion raid)

Lavarush (2nd prize 500g). Lots of effort on a difficult to obtain set

•  Shoulder, Chest, Hands and Legs of Tier 5 from Sepenshrine and The Eye raids - not an easy run
• Feet - Husk Shard Sabatons (Quest - Death to the Traitor King - Azol Nerub)
• The shield was different for the event having the nice simple metal and single gem in the centre

Shamba (3rd prize 250g). Wonderfully simplistic matching Blue set complemented by a dragon pet

• Brood Killer Shoulderguard (Quest - Brood of Seldarria)
• Powder Burn Vest (Q - Explosives Shredding)
• Bloodstained Twighlight Belt (Q - Something to wear)
• Severed Druid's Leggings (Q - The forest Heart)
• Fancy Footwork (Q - Dances with Grimtotem)
• Main Hand "Meatface Pummler) - (Q - You Too, Brute?)
• Off Hand "Vibro Shanker" - (Q - Cutting your teeth)
• Pet - from memory this was a mechanical dragon

Speartooth (runner up prize "Lovely Blue Dress")

The first prize was hard fought between Halren and Lavarush 
Thanks to all those of you that came. If you have comments on the format then let myself or Fen know. It would be good to have a third judge so if there are any volunteers let me know.

This link (Screenshots) gives all those I took. for the next one I realise now I need individual shots rather than a group. I have included armoury shots but ones at the time would have been better as Lava for example since changed his shield.

Thanks to all of the participants

Yarrrggh

Just found this whilst planning out my blog. To commemorate "talk like a pirate day" we all go YAARGGGHHH :)

..and so it begins

Well actually it began at Christmas (Eve to be precise). The wife (Viv) was talking to my son about games and the conversation got to WOW (now you must know about WOW - World of Warcraft; the one with lots of people). Anyway she decided to give it a go after we said it was like Spyro and you get to collect things - a lady of simple tastes. Anyway I had tried it at a LAN (read geeky gaming convention) and found it quite relaxing so we agreed to start together.

Lots of installing on her laptop and mine later and we get to login. She got in first and then me and we met online -

Anyway that was then and now 10 months later she has a levl 80 character and is levelling her second and I and slowly wandering up on my first (66 at time of writing). This brings me to the title of the blog..

... Late night why - well due to work and family its when I have normally managed to get online - simple really.

Enough rambling - things to do
