While my …

… preparations for the support of the venus project are on hold because of my vacation in Germany is still going on until 24.04.09.

Until that day and maybe one week more I’ll still need some time to accomodate again and after that I’ll start working on that small project. :)
Next week my new multiboxing movie will go online hopefully and more will definitely follow afterwards.

More on that topic later here!

The Venus Project

For a long time now I’ve been thinking or visioning a world like one I thought about would never been able to exist with the people around me. Full of anger, full of greed and full of crap believing everything they see in the television without asking even once whether these information are true or made up - the media does not display lies and so it MUST be the truth. And even so I did my best (probably not but long time I thought) NOT to support this system it didn’t have any effect - how could it? One of a billion people supporting an idea or ideal which doesn’t even exist in other heads. One person alone can never have an effect on a whole society.

Well apparently I was terribly wrong. I’ve discovered - accidently if you want so - a project that does not only play with the exact ideals I had for years but tries to accomplish those with the same techniques our actual currency driven world does use - they use the population of this world.  Our actual system makes us believe that everything we buy is good for us, everything we see in the media is correct and everything they decide is for the greater good and helps us - the human race itself.
Now one would think using the same techniques to find new supporters of this idea would be bad …

But on the other hand, how do you want to “fight” such a system we’re living in? Fighting with real weapons? War is never a solution, you cannot win a war but only lose it, no matter how few casualites there are - people die and so the war is lost in the second it began. Doing something by force never works really well.
Money wouldn’t be of any use against that system but you would only support it more and more.

The only answer is to open the minds and eyes of the people supporting our system we’re living in - tell them that there ARE different ways of living and that you don’t need to kill your own race and pollute your own planet you’re living on in order to have a happy life. Nobody needs to work 8+ hours a day of hard work in a factory barely earning enough to live but far away from having a real life. Most people fear that machines will take over our world, that we give machines too much to do and less and less people are doing jobs machines can do much more efficiently without having the risk of loosing people at all.

A system where most people wouldn’t have to work since all the labor is done by machines, where no money exists to buy things since money would be useless, where all people would be equal individuals - no social status given by inheritage or money, no wars and almost no crime since the reasons for crimes are actually the things, the actual money-driven world let us believe are necessary. Status and money, without money poverty is coming and bringing near the only solution left not to die by starving - stealing money, stealing food and so on - nobody would have to steal if nobody would be starving.

That’s just ONE or many ideals I had in my head and this project is trying to realize someday.
You can inform yourself under
http://www.thevenusproject.com/
and look for yourself how you can actually support that project. I for myself have decided to do what ever it takes to support it since THAT ideals they’re standing for are our future, the only future which is good - every other alternative which is still connected to money will fail.

If anybody likes to talk with me about that - see contact for my contact-details, if not - spare me your criticism since it’s worthless for me.

Thanks,

Not even …

… one hour went by between my shamans dinging 80 and me standing in my first heroic instance as multiboxer in WOTLK, Utgarde Keep.
What should I say, I was successful in there - not wiped once and killed every boss without any problems at all - the last one, Ingvar, was probably a bit luck since he threw one axe at my paladin and not my shamans (which were spread out so it would kill only one) but anyway - I killed him! :)

Empowered by this success I thought I could easily farm a few bronze drakes for my shamans in the Culling of Stratholme (COT4) which went horribly wrong. It took ~45 minutes and I wiped several times due to wrong pulls but ONLY in the undead part before all the infinite mobs.
It’s simply a lot to do before that part since a few times my shamans got over-run by these non elite undead which hit quite hard as I had to find out the hard way. :/

One wipe on the first boss and ~4 wipes on trash groups - not exactly what I had in mind but it was a good exercise anyway.
Let’s see what I can do tomorrow - clearing all heroics is my priority #1 right now. :)

PS: added two new screenshots to the gallery (WOTLK) and splitted up the World of Warcraft gallery in three galleries total.
