Meet the TI Staff

Say hello to Tiahtoon. She is one of the many, many gnomes that work hard behind the scenes to help make TI work as well as it does.

Tiah spent many years training to become a rogue. She learned the basics from the masters in Bael Modan and she took to it well, but she was unfulfilled.

One day on a harrowing trip to Ironforge, she discovered the Auction House, a most wondrous place with people buying and selling, she spent days, fascinated by the fluctuations of the market and the way gold moved around.

Alas, all her learning did no good, as she had no goods to sell and no gold with which to buy things.

That all changed, when her old friend Minicat from Bael Modan recommended she come work for TI, they would supply her the gold and materials to play the market and in return she would get a sense of purpose in life.

Well, Tiah thought about it, and decided that the real sign was in her name... Tiah could stand for The Infinite Auction House and that was the clincher for her.

Now she spends all her time in Ironforge running between the mailbox and the AH (with some side trips to vendor things people are stupid enough to post on the AH for less than vendor value).

She works tirelessly in the Auction house, she sells guild items that no one wants, she buys up deals whenever she can to make a few extra gold, sells off overstocks in the guild bank and she sets the prices on the raiding goods each week for sale to members at a 70% discount, that her hard work helps subsidize.

We, the editors of the TI Times, thought it was important for the members to start seeing and appreciating the little people who help make this guild what it is.

There is a comment section below; please add your own.

Whine, whine whine...

"Oh noes... Leg & Merv haven't published in a while!"

"Hey -- get back to writing you slackers!"

"Oh... c'mon, write some more posts on that cool web site."

Yeah, yeah... you all want us to write blog entries -- funny entries about things that are going on in the guild.

But here is the problem... and it is, at least for me, two-fold.

With the exception of BW... you guys have not done ANYTHING worth writing about.

Look, we're not going to write about taking down A'lar or any of the good stuff, we want to write about the DRAMA! The funny! The mis-quotes. Do you know what the funniest thing that has happened lately? Mervyn had to melee Leo on our last attack because he didn't know his bow was broken! And that-- dear friends, is all about ME! I'm not here to write funny stories about me, I'm here to make fun of YOU!

The other problem is BW is my class leader and she gives me lots of great pots & things every week, so I am not going to write about her -- I will leave that for Legarius to do (which he does well.)

So, if you want me write about stuff. Do things! Wipe the raid in a spectacular way. Do something incredibly n00bish. Say something really, really stupid.

You want these magic fingers to do their typing, that's what I need from you.

Now get out there an act like an idiot!

Man, we have been slacking!

Okay, we admit we have really been slacking. There is a plethora of topics scribbled down. I am going to meet with Merv so we can discuss keeping this project running. Remember, if you feel like you have a fantastic story, share it with us. We will post it on this pretty little blog. You should see some new posts by this Friday. Remember, you are all eyes and ears. Send me a pm if you think there is a topic we should write about. Also remember, the more taboo the better!!
