Today's Topic:

The Azeroth Olympics are about ready to start and the tickets are about ready to be available! You approach the nearest goblin to purchase said tickets and instead he hands you a small stuffed FAIL Murloc instead and said there's a problem with the system and to try later.

Do you wait around to purchase the tickets later or try to find another method of getting to the anticipated event? If the latter, what do you plan on doing to get in?

 

[shadowfury]

I would wait around and try later

 

[Thisel]

Well, since the Olympics are a big thing I would go onto my rogue and stealth in and hope I am not caught. If I cannot stealth in I will pick pocket the tickets off him. And if that doesn't work well I will kick the dude that asks me for my ticket in the knee and then run in.

EDIT: Ahh shadowfury you got the first post before me I will get that spot tomorrow!

 

[Quetzal]

I'd bribe the Infinite Dragonflight with unfinished-plot-flavored candies to attack the Azeroth Olympics, then trek over to the Caverns of Time and act surprised when there's a new passageway open and the Bronze Dragonflight is calling for adventurers to help. Putting on my best selfless self-sacrifice face, I'd stoically volunteer my services and walk through the swirly purple portal into the future, where the event is already taking place.

Not only do I not have to buy tickets, but there's probably a gold reward to be had in there somewhere!

 

[Isaul]

Pretend to be a competitor and act like I belong there.

Failing that, mind control.

 

[Eldorian]

EDIT: Ahh shadowfury you got the first post before me I will get that spot tomorrow!

Tomorrow I am totally going to update at a random time just to throw you all off, mwahahahahaha!

(ok, probably not)

 

[Asterion]

I'm a priest so id Mind Control any goblins in my way and send them for a run so by the time they got back their post im already inside =D

 

[BloodySiN]

Using my epic engineering skills, I will ride my rocket skyhigh and dropdown inside the stadium stealth to the epic box seats and enjoy the games.

Ahhh the joys of rogue engineering. Alternatively I can sap the guards, blind the ushers and sprint my way through inside.

 

[iw00bruiser]

Wait around.

 

[Kinjiro]

I would hijack a zepplin and crash it right into the middle of the stadium making a grand and slightly illegal entrance.

 

[faervian]

I do what I usually do in WoW. I look for a climbable place in the surrounding terrain to get inside. If it's not middle of a mountain like place, I can summon my mount, pass the guards with full speed and resurrect inside

 

[Eonblade]

I would have to say that I would AOE fear the goblins and make a mad dash for the entrance!

 

[Shiftey]

Lol.....i would wait 'til later and spam F5 so i can win and get as many tickets as i can......or i would make some new friends that has an extra one or buy it from a guildie....or if all else fails go in your bed and cry yourself to sleep

 

[Scotholemu]

I would just wall jump my way in.

 

[kewlkiller]

i would just get on a pally and bubble run to the olympics

 

[aeonfux]

heres hopeing big money no whamy:bowdown:

 

[teezlol]

Mind control a nearby gnome rogue, pickpocket the tickets with him, then melt his face later when he least suspects it. Sounds like a viable plan.

Alternatively, use a Gnomish Poultryizer on the goblin clerk and help myself to some tickets. Finally, rocket boots away from the goblin "authorities" which are sure to come after me as soon as they notice the theft.

 

[joz123]

I would sap the goblin, take his tickets then sell them to dumb gnomes for massive profit and sneak in.

 

[Vesi]

I'm a rogue, I'd sap whoever and stealth on in

 

[sethamun]

I'd try to get in from the sky with my netherdrake

 

[Cais]

Find a laundry cart and hide inside. Hey, it always works in the movies!

 

[Ssonic19]

Good lord, you people are insane.

Anyway, can the guards see through invisibility?

 

[Swang]

I'd have to tunnel down from a building next door not to be noticed.. Break into the vault, replace the stuffed FAIL murloc with the REAL murloc that spits tickets, steal the jewels, and some cash. Sneak back out, seal the tunnel and make it look like it never happened and sell the tickets the REAL murloc spits to people with FAIL murlocs..

 

[Hilux]

Easy. Throw on some Rocket Boots and the X-52 Rocket Helmet and fly in during the opening fireworks. Although, I can only hope that they actually use real fireworks and don't just have a gnome make a masterful piece of CGI.

 

[CrimsonGrave666]

Eh, on any character you can just strip and make a mad dash in... After you die just run back and continue said procedure until you get in. Who knows, you might draw attention to yourself in the meantime for being unclothed. You may even become a sort of sideshow entertainment for the Olympics.

 

[Zawk]

As a hunter, I would find another means of getting in to the stadium. Probably by using the hunter spell - Eagle Eye and watch the games right where the action is held!

 

[Rockafizz]

Take the goblin to GS inn on Blackwater raiders server...its practically a strip club...im sure that would change the goblins mind. if not id just use brute force.

 

[Defeat]

Would probably use a mix of my engineering stuff to get past, try stealth past with cloaking device or use my rocket boots + parachute cloak to fly in

 

[Bobity66]

Being a warrior i would just kill him and loot the tickets off of his mangled body or just fear all the gards and run in.

 

[Reaperofsouls]

Im a hunter, so id use eyes of the beast and make my pet run in to distract all of them. Then id sneak in, find a seat and shadowmeld. Actually, i think id just wait around, because shadowmeld would run out if i had to get up for some reason.

 

[Kazuko]

I would go roll a gnome and then provoke a tauren to punt me over the wall inside.

 

[Vampyl]

as a lock i would chain fear the guy until he gave me the tickets

 

[Zaiten]

I would just /who and then spam every warlock inside the arena for a summon. Lol.

 

[Stetzer]

I would hire Suarfang to cleave a hole in the side of the arena for me.

 

[Serotoninzero]

I'd probably just chill out and wait. Kick it with my guildies.

 

[evilfox]

Considering the epic fail that was Blizzcon ticket purchases, better find the next nearest goblin to beat up and steal some tickets.

Or do it the Blizzard way and chain sap, permanently disabling anyone from getting tickets meaning a free in! Oh wait, that happened didn't it? -_-

 

[Kassic]

As a warrior, I would totally just MS Kill that goblin and take the tickets he was hording. Oh, and a stuffed FAIL Murloc would be awesome, Id kill the goblin for another one of those too.

 

[Evli]

It's simple, kill the goblin. I would let my pet do the dirty work, then loot the tickets off him and hide the body.

 

[Jerevinan]

Blind the goblin, Stealth, Sap, Pick Pocket, Profits ^_______^ Gtfo my ticket mr. goblin!

 

[Xarris08]

Like said before. I'd probably go in with my Rogue, and sneak in. Or find the nearest high mountain, and rocket boot my way in!

 

[Happu]

Well, at first i would wait around but if nothing would happend and the olympics were about to start, i'd blink my way in.

If that fails i always have my precious roflcopter to use

 

[Rikrik]

I'd just wait around so wouldn't get kicked out because of not having a ticket ^^

 

[electricify]

I'd wait around to keep my spot in the queue!

 

[markroberts]

I would slap the said vendor with my wad of notes, tell him in no uncertain terms where to put that stuffed murloc and probably come back later looking very sheepish :loser:

 

[VividAriah]

Fight my way in.

 

[Strokarn]

I'd seduce him, convincing him it's in his best interest to give me a ticket. After I get my ticket I would switch to my travelform and get as far away from that goblin as possible.

 

[cardinall]

As a warlock, I would leave Lynwen, my succubus, to hold my spot in line, and work on the ticket broker a little (seduce, lash of pain, whatever it takes). Meanwhile, I would go to the Olympics, and scout out the security with my eye of Kilrogg. If I can find a way to sneak in, great, if not, by the time I get back to the goblin, he should be happy to sell me a ticket.

 

[myriadkek]

I would pay the guards to let me in regardless. Or just break in with bubble!

 

[eisnerguy1]

I'd either find another way to get in or just chill & wait & see what happens

 

[kuraimisa]

I would try to find another way in. I would bribe the goblins with dark iron ale and go in when they are asleep.
