Tiger - Venture Co.

Make sure to install the Group Calendar add on, version 3.2.2. A calendar makes it esyer to find a group for whatever you want to do - so go go go!


In the setup choose "manual" configuration and in "channel" write "tigercall2". The password is "roar" (do like in the screenshot)

Yeah i know, the password should have been "Yarr" - oh well, maybe next time.

After that you push "connect" and then you have to wait for 5 mins - and you are good to go!
Remember to type in your birthday and any events you want fellow Tigers to join :)

Have fun

The expansion is pretty much old news today, but I want to talk a bit about it anyway, since I now had the change to explore some of it.

When I heard that TBC was coming I was not pleased. Mainly cause I wasn’t that far away from lvl 60 and had been looking forward to finally reaching the highest possible lvl in wow and start trying those instances I had heard of for so long. With the expansion, the limit of lvl was moved to 70 and the old instances wouldn’t be visited as much as before. This mend that my goal was moved further away from me just as I was about to reach it. Needles to say, I found that a bit frustrating. Well well, lets just say that I got over it ^^

First of, it certainly made it easier to lvl once I hit lvl 58 and was able to go to Outland. Second, the money and the items are nice. But the best thing about it all is the new areas, the new mobs and the new types of quests. Of course a lot of it is similar to something we have already seen, but there’s definitely also new stuff. And I love going into a new area or discovering a mob that looks just a little bit different or has a new sound or skill. Even the small things are fun to discover and I forgot how fun it is to see something new in wow. Never in my wow playing time have I taken as many screenshots as I do in Outland, which means that there’s a lot of thing there that fascinates the hell out of me.

And since I’m only lvl 63 there’s still a lot to see, and I can’t wait to se the rest of the World of Warcraft.

See you in Outland folks – Yarr!

As u know we are a bunch of pirates in Tigers that likes to great and cheer each other with a nice “yarr”. There’s is no official list of these pirates, but you know who you are – Yarr!

I have now heard and seen several people discussing how this whole pirate business started infecting our guild and this inspired me to share my version of the story.

I think yarr and aye has always been used once in a while in different conversations all over the world, just like we sometimes see a “howdy” in our chat, though I know of no cowboys or cowgirls in our guild (oh wait, I forgot Kiaras is a cowgirl). Anyway, there must have been a couple of “yarr’s” before this story takes place, for example the time when kloro drank some captain Morgan rum.

But for me it started to be a ritual, when Rofol (aka Rafal) had a bad day in the world of Warcraft. I think he was being ganked or something and he complained about this in guild chat, and while doing so he also meant to make a smiley but it came out wrong. This typo clearly didn’t help on his mood so I tried to cheer him up by telling him that he just invented a new smiley and should be proud of it. The smiley he made looked like this: ?)

If u look careful u can see a smiling pirate with an eyepatch on! And so we started to great eath other with a “yarr ?)”. Soon we started greeting everybody like this and some took it in and now says yarr too. The pirate smiley is still something I only use when Rofol is around - after all it is his creation.

I believe this is the real reason why some Tigers uses “yarr” today– but feel free to correct me if I am wrong ?) (if you dare that is)

I actually met Rafal in Ogrimmar today and just as i was taking a screenshot he yelled "Yarr!". And he didnt know i was taking a picture of him for this, so it was just a priceless moment ^^

Yarr to all you pirates out there!

Portrait: Kraldor!

(This is the first portrait in a series of Tiger potraits.)

My first impression of Kraldor was that he was prolly around the same age as me (in the 20’ies) mainly cause of the way he wrote in guild chat, since I had never grouped with him or anything. So I was very surprised to hear that he was actually one of our youngest members in Tigers! So he deserves credit for acting so mature (and for being so good at English already!), but don’t tell him that u never would have guessed his age cause he will go “yeah I know I sound a lot older than I am – I rule!”. Ok, maybe he won’t say exactly that, but something similar. So Kraldor doesn’t have any self confidence issues though I thought that was required in his age ^^

Anyway, as stated below he just turned lvl 70. And even if you haven’t read it here, you have prolly heard it in guild chat, because Kraldor likes to make countdowns when he is close to a new lvl (or not close at all). He can be a real spammer when he is close to getting a new lvl, like “ok guys 8 bars to new lvl, 7½ bars to new level…..” and there goes a whole afternoon with Kraldor in the guild chat.

But Kraldor is also a very polite young man. Often when he writes something directed to me in guild chat – like “hello” or “grats” – he will make sure I get the message by also giving me a /w about it. That is actually very nice, but I don’t know anyone else that would do that. Maybe it is part of his spammer genes, but just so we are clear – Kraldor is not the type that goes “omg omg omg” in chats ^^

As most Tigers I know, Kraldor likes to have fun and has a sense of humour. When he is on hos flying mount you will hear stuff like this from him: “Hello, welcome to Kraldors flying service. You are flying in a Boeing 000…please fasten your seatbelts….smoking isn’t allowed.” And yes that was a quote.

When he got his flying mount, he was of course out giving it a try and flew to me to show it (and to brag!). Since he was already lvl 70 he wasn’t in a hurry and decided to help me in my questing while sitting on his mount almost the entire time. This meant that Kraldor didn’t always had an eye on his fellow low lvl tiger (me!) and forgot the fact that there could be dangerous animals in the water where she was. So while he was safe and happy up in the air on his new mount, Mijo died below him – alone (as you can see on the picture above). A very bitter Mijo took no responsibility for her death, since she believed she had an imba warlock watching her back, but in fact the only thing he was watching was the view of the lake. Since Kraldor was so excited about his new lvl and new mount, he is forgiven for this after many, many apologies.

Kraldor may not always be focused on the task ahead, but he certainly makes my stay in tiger a little more colourful.

Here is this weeks tiger gossip:

1. As stated above Perun wont be playing his warrior “Perun” no more, cause Blizzard nerfed warriors too much

2. Levius is a lucky bastard

3. Zenix left the guild

4. Kraldor turned 70 this week (and is very happy about his new flying mount)

5. Naarman turned lvl 70 this week too (and is not pleased with his new but slow flying mount)

6. Mijo has gotten older

7. Ghroktar is still young

8. Athena is hot and wants to spank Harriy

9. Uppfeldt is still on a poking quest – so beware!

10. After a quick discussion some Tigers/pirates agreed that the term “Yarr” is a cheer and a lifestyle, and can be used at greeting fellow tigers.

11. Irvana can’t find his “caps lock” button, so could someone please visit him and turn it off? (Kiaras?)

When I started playing wow this blog was already forgotten cause of the tiger forum (sad really), but now the officers of Tiger want to give it another try – and I’ll be happy to spam u all away here. So to you who (like myself) never used this blog – Welcome :) And to all the oldies but goldies –WB !

When it was announced on the forum that Tiger has got a blog someone asked what is a blog?

If u look up the word ”blog” in the Danish Wikipedia, its says that it is a website that often will be updated with short posts about a specific subject, such as wow (no it doesn’t exactly say “such as wow”). After reading this description I wonder…..how in God’s name did Perun ever manage to post SHORT posts?

Oh now I’m calling him Perun but I don’t know if we should start calling him something else, since he is not playing his warrior anymore (if u wanna know why watch this movie that Farukh was so kind to link to http://www.deviantart.com/view/28400956/) Maybe we should just call him Lucky (after his char Luckybull)…but then it sounds like a horse? Okay for now its still Perun then.

This blog isn’t about me, but I would like to give thanks to all that was so kind to wish me happy birthday the other day ^^ Turns out that World of Warcraft isn’t the worse place to celebrate your birthday, when you are amongst Tigers.

Anyway, remember to stop by your Tiger blog once and a while – or a certain rogue will come after you ;)
