Big Bottom Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Pirates Invade World of WarcraftMonkey Island creator starts own guild. by Rob Burman, IGN UK click here!! UK, January 29, 2007 - Ron Gilbert, the creator of the wonderfully hilarious Monkey Island games, has set up his own monkey-themed guild in World of Warcraft, providing the perfect fix for those depserate to sample the series' quirky brand of humour once again. Speaking on his blog, Gilbert said: "I'm starting a Horde-aligned guild called Threepwood on the server Quel'dorei, and any WoW players looking for a Monkey Island-themed guild are more then welcome to join me. My one criteria is that you have to be playing as a character named after someone in Monkey Island." However, hardened WoW players who are also fans of Monkey Island are unlikely to have their questing needs fulfilled by the new guild, as Gilbert explained: "If you're looking for a large, high pressure guild that does regular raids and is run by a draconian guild master that keeps careful track of everyone's kill stats and admonishes members for not pulling their weight, then this probably isn't the guild for you. As everyone knows, Monkey Island players are laid back and just want to have fun, so don't expect much more than a good time (and honestly, I'm not sure I can even promise that)." Anyone interested in signing up can get in touch with Gilbert via his blog. http://grumpygamer.com/main Damn....if I lived in the US I'd be there in a shot. The best flash game ever!

Pop Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Ron Gilbert has jumped the shark. You know all the real Monkey Island fans are going to go about slaughtering this guild. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bottom Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 I didn't realise Ron Gilbert had had a chance to jump the shark. Has he done anything recently? The best flash game ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Anything that has a WoW guild devoted to it has jumped the shark. Raiding has jumped the shark, trolling has jumped the shark, cybersex has jumped the shark. Is this some kind of meta-commentary on WoW? Is it benign trolling? What exactly will they be doing? This is only slightly more cool than if he decided to make Monkey Island-themed Halo machinima. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

steelfiredragon Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 monkey island??? thats the game that you went dualing by using insults right???? if so it was a dumb game, and a guild off of it will be equally dumb. yeah i can bet that the fans of the game will poke fun at it amongst other dealings.... i however am not one of them, nor do i like WoW Strength through Mercy Head Torturor of the Cult of the Anti-gnome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The Monkey Island dueling system was pretty good, as I recall. All the insults were written by Orson Scott Card (one of the few good things he ever did!) I'm creating a WoW guild named <Pop> I had a good run. Better than the Simpsons.

LadyCrimson Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'd be more interested if it was, say, William Shatner. Now that would be entertaining. “Things are as they are.

Gfted1 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 OK, Ive never played Monkey Island but there cant be more then say, 50, named characters. Gonna make for a small guild as soon as all the names get used up. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bottom Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 There are 4 MI games so there's probably a little over 50 characters, although some of them might have to be called Cook or Smelly Pirate 3. The best flash game ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'd be more interested if it was, say, William Shatner. Now that would be entertaining. meh.... It'd be funnier if Patrick Stewart was runnign a full powered raiding guild... whenever you start a fight he says over vent "engage" Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

LadyCrimson Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm still partial to "Khaaaan" as a battlecry. “Things are as they are.

Calax Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm still partial to "Khaaaan" as a battlecry. but where would you say that in WoW? "Ready? KHHHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN! More Dot's More DOt's!" Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) I actively use SPOON! You can use that in WoW just as well as you can use it in Counter-Strike. Though, I prefer to use "I LOVE YOUR MOM" for Counter-Strike. But "make it so" from Picard himself? I'd go back to WoW for that.

LadyCrimson Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 It's a battlecry - it doesn't have to "fit." I'd use it to replace "charrrrrge." :D Make it so sounds too....polite. “Things are as they are.

Calax Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 what'd be really funny is both in the same guild... Patrick stewart ad overall raid leader, Shatner as main tank "Make it so" mob gets in range "KHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!" Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
