This week’s jumble serves as both a shout out and congratulations to Cassandri of [HoTs & DoTs] this week.

Cassandri recently completed her insane grind and is our latest [Hall of Fame] inductee.

Also a big congratulations goes out to the other recent insane inductees – Frozzy, Elzibar, Healthstone, Zerotorescue, Eudaemonea and Kalkaph!

Hey Folks!

It’s been a crazy week for me, lots of (good) stuff happening at work and keeping me busy.

I got up at 5am on Friday to go and line up for my new iPhone 4. Very interesting experience! I live close to Canberra, which is Australia’s capital, so the store I lined up at was the main/best chance for me to get a phone at.

Now with that said, you’d think a reasonable amount of stock would be available for the launch right? I’ve read about the shortage of phones around the world so I was prepared for numbers to be smaller than expected but…

Seriously, have a guess right now how many they had in stock? I’ll write the answer >>here< < so after you’ve guessed click to see and let me know how close you were in the comments :)

Fortunately I walked away with one and so did my awesome girlfriend, Suzanne, who was a good enough sport to come along and keep me company.

So..the late running jumble this week! For starters it’s not really a jumble – instead I’ve rehashed one of the older competitions we did and have made it interactive. That way it’s easier for people to know if they’re right or wrong and get friends/etc involved.

Enjoy! Jumbles will resume as normal next week unless overwhelming feedback suggests something like this is better?

A huge /wave at Tamarind of [Righteous Orbs] this week. Always enjoy reading his stuff and particularly when there are bees and bonnets involved! :p

No particularly difficult words in this one. Although, the final solution did have me double-checking google to make sure and apparently either way is acceptable. No idea what I’m talking about? You will!

Enjoy :)

Shout out to Gravity of [pwnwear.com] this week. Gravity runs a fantastic and well regarded DK tanking blog that I recommend having a poke around if you havent already. Even if you’re not a DK or a Tank there’s still a wealth of great info to be had.

Like myself Gravity has a background in real life people management and has written a lot of articles on leadership. He’s into statistical analysis, theorycrafting and different ways of applying real world strategy to the game. I should probably just stop there and add that he had me at ‘hello’ right? :p

As per the two paragraphs above the words in this week’s jumble are based around leadership. No made up words or names, enjoy :)

Here’s the jumble for the week a few hours earlier than usual. I’ll be keen to see if McRaffles, Lei or Cal are first across the line on this. I think the smart money would have to be on Cal “he who does not sleep” Henderson for this one.

Sephrenia recently celebrated two years blogging over at [GuildMum] which is an amazing accomplishment! I enjoy following her WoW adventures so make sure to check out her blog sometime!

Without giving away too much the words are all RealID related – nothing overly difficult. I think I’ve done a decent job of jumbling the letters up, though, so hopefully a few people might get caught up. Enjoy!

Shout out to a good friend, Anaalius, this week! Check out his gold making progress on his blog [Anaalius' hunt for Gold].

Anaalius actually supplied the words for this one. All the items on this week’s list are his favourite things from various parts of the game. For example number 3 is ‘favourite zone’ and so on.

Bonus points this week for correctly identifying what category of ‘favourite’ the other words refer to once unscrambled. Enjoy!

This week’s shout out goes to Khaas of [SRSBusiness].

I enjoy following his blog posts and continue to be surprised by the similarities between us in terms of attitudes and game experience. We’re even the same age and have both purchased houses in the last year. The similarities go on and on – doppleganger much? :)

The jumble words are taken from Khaas’ blog and are more ‘generic’ words that arent necessarily WoW related. One of the answers is a company name, too. Nothing overly hard though and I imagine you guys will steamroll it like you usually do.

Oh, and here’s a bonus question - DST is to DBW as NT is to?

A big shout out this week to Nibuca and Fimlys of [Twisted Nether] podcasts. Great weekly podcasts with a variety of guests! These are perfect to listen to while grinding away on your various achievements.

I wonder if anyone can guess the theme this week…? :)

For anyone curious, the awesome artwork in the background of this one was created by Asirbayam on deviantart.

Here’s the World Jumble for this week! I’ve been chatting with Kraklin of [WoW Confidential] a bit in IRC lately and it’s been quite refreshing to swap ideas and thoughts on our different blogs.

When I’m putting together a jumble I come up with the four words first then figure out the rest from there. This week when I was jumbling up the letters in word #2 I had a good laugh when I arrived at a certain two word statement.

It pretty much summed up how a lot of people feel about #2 but let’s just say was not appropriate to use. Let’s see who else accidently arrives at it hehe.

Some of you may recall my interview a while back with [Baron Soosdon]. I’ve been hanging out a bit in the Quakenet #machinima channel lately and so this week’s post is a shoutout to everyone there.

Enjoy! No tricky words in this one but the final answer is 9 letters which might trip up some of you.
