Chupa talks about his background in WoW and building Skunkworks from the ground up.

(A real example of our numbers-based approach to gaming. Earlier today Brolynn presented his critique of Clov. Witness the power of raw intellect as it dissects WoW progression and performance.)


Since I'm such a nice guy and just


my fellow mage so very much I did the parse analysis he requested. Don't worry Clov, I was just as thorough as I could be!!

Using arbitrary point values instead of LKHM kill dates to rank guilds in ICC is stupid. There is no good reason for guilds that zerged their way through the 11 easier bosses and therefore had longer to kill Arthas, only to kill him after us, to be better ranked. We have fallen from a high of 70 US/245 world on the night of our kill to 81 US/265 world as guilds with more points from the rest of the instance have caught up and killed HLK. Stupid.

GuildOx is the new hotness. They use kill dates to rank progression and Blizzard's assigned achievement point values to rank achievements.
