Listen my children and you shall hear about the midnight ride of Yacoub on one of his ridiculous number of mounts... I figured it was time for another fun guild progression update. For those of you who are wondering, the name of this post comes from a 10M run of ICC I was in with Popo. During the long tedious speech by the two Saurfang's, Popo said, "I don't know much about the lore, but are these two related." Maybe it was just because Popo said it, but it had us all rolling. Speaking of funny quotes by guildies, we have our now famous "Wow-Isms" thread running which currently holds the reins as the most successful forum so far. Check it out, laugh, and share some funny wow memories of your own. This week saw us try some new things and break a couple records for ourselves. This was the first week where we attempted to do a 3 day raid week for the main run (Tuesday-Thursday). Tuesday was really successful, but for both Wednesday and Thursday we were missing only 3 people or so. This however hasn't discouraged our officers and plan to keep this schedule because despite the bad luck that happened to the few missing on those days, we still broke our record on Sindragosa, getting her down to under 23%. This was the first week trying something new, snags in the plan are bound to happen, the key is we have the resolve to push through no matter what happens. Speaking of resolve, on Tuesday for the first time, we downed 10 bosses in 1 raid day! If we can continue with this trend, we will have a lot of time for progression bosses. The Saturday run this week got to Dreamwalker again this week despite all the alts we had in the run. Next week, we will begin the new schedule for this run which will contain all mains and run on both Wednesday and Saturday. I cannot wait for this run to find it's own identity and take off. This run will be led by Geedub and will begin earning DKP for its members. DKP will probably be earned the first week but will be used as the looting system during the second week of this runs implementation. The first week will be all rolls just so that people will get a little while to earn their DKP and have adequate numbers to use the following week. Basically, give the new DKP system a chance to remove variables, and then implement it. Following the first Lich King 10M kill last Sunday, this week saw the first attempts Team "OH MAN" had on 10M hard modes. We had a few snags on a couple fights but most of the first few aren't too bad. As of yesterday, we downed 7 bosses (First four + fester/rot, and Blood Queen). We attempted Putricide and Blood Princes, but after several wipes, we went to Blood queen thinking it was going to be easier, which it was. Our team has a plan for hard modes to maximize progression. We will only do hardmodes we need loot off of (i.e. tier bosses) and will do al other hardmodes just once to get the achievements for them. Eventually, we will be doing only Lich King on hard mode until we down it, but in the meantime, we should be able to bring a few people to our run to get some tier/hardmode loot off the earlier/easier bosses. Next week, for our main 25M run, Yacoub will be running with Censored so that he can get the Sindragosa quest and the Lich King downing in order to open up hardmodes for us in 25M the following week. He saved up a lot of gold to do this and judging by the 10M hardmodes we have done so far, we should quickly get the hang of the 25M versions for some bosses. Next week is the beginning of the 20% buff in ICC. This buff should help us destroy the bosses we have on farm now even faster and should help us down Sindragosa and beyond. Due to Unholy and Mastric's efforts, we have implemented 2 new things to our website. The first is a videos page which contains frapsed fights as well as random acts of stupidity. Check em out, the Ghost one is hilarious. The second thing was a donate button which allows all members to donate money to the upkeep of the site as well as helping to pay for keeping our vent server up. This is not mandatory, but it is very much apprecitated. Lastly, in an effort to prevent long waiting periods for raids to fill we have implemented a phone number field for every member's profile. Please put your number in there (only officers can see the numbers). so that we can get in contact with you in case you are late without notifying us. This will cut down on us saving a spot for someone who is not coming but unable to contact and tell us so. Don't worry, we won't spam you with suggestive phone calls, hopefully I can force the other officers to hold to this ideal at least, lol. Well, that's it for now fellas, until next time...

Berms, the number adds up to 26 and implies that one of the people we would drop is 1 of the healers, since Rizel exists as a healer anyway for later fights. I listed 6 to show that we have a backup in case someone cannot make it. 3+6+17 = 26, not 27. That is for pointing out my typo in the other post. Also, see Watchmen, the movie is amazing, I didn't ruin anything.

I AM WRITING IN CAPS TO BE DRAMATIC! I just created this post because I wanted to let everyone know where my head was at with the 25M roster. We are currently plagued with the same problem we have had for a long time now, and that has been bringing too many people who can only make one raid day and not the second. Therefore, we are going to have to crackdown on the roster if we want to progress. As of late, we have instituted 2 new concepts to our raiding. For one, we started a 25M ICC second run which goes on Saturday night. This run over the couple of weeks that we have ran it has been getting better and better roster-wise and we have had to bring less and less pugs into it. From these runs, we have made freinds with a good couple of guilds who have been impressed with us. So it has not only helped our raiders who cannot make some raid days, but it has also gotten our name out there. As a result, out second concept comes into play, the idea of the sister-guild mentality between players. All That Rem, Voodoo Tuna, Zero, Proxy, Kong Fu Pandas all are comprised of good players that are going through the same thing: every once in a while, we need to grab a player or two to fill our raid. Gone are the days of totally acquiring a guild through corporate take-over and splitting up freinds. This is like a partnership between guilds all wanting each other to progress. Keep in mind however, the priority among these guilds will always be our own and we won't take outside raid members into our raids unless someone is decidedly absent among our own guildies. It is with this new found set of partnerships that I present to you what I forsee for our 25M roster broken down by type of class: Plate Melee: Yacoub, Rebelogic, Finallegend, Teapee Other Melee: Bloodbolt, Itachi, Overcast, Honeymoomoo Non-Caster Ranged: Darkhuntar, FDragon Casters: Wilistari, Perenelle, Loggs, Unholyfaith, Melodian Tanks: Prydain, Rizel Healers: Kieta, Polished, Virage, Ruffpally As you can see, the number of people I mentioned above is not 25. So here is my breakdown of people who I would like to see fill those spots. Tanks: Lastcow and Joycow recently told me that they have a class on Wednesday and I already talked to them about the whole making two days thing, so they have been gracious enough to basically run our Saturday run with their mains along with Geedub. Lastcow is a great tank and we will miss him in our main 25M. To replace the 3rd tank position, I nominate Darachai from Proxy. He is a good warrior tank and has come with us twice now in our runs. Healers: Above, I only listed 4 healers who are consistent, but it is always good to list up to 6 just in case. Joycow as I said is going to help run our second run. For healers 5 and 6, I would suggest Pemmican (resto druid) from Proxy and Unuyazi (resto sham) from Proxy. Both of them have come to our 25M runs and have proven that they would be good assets to us. DPS: As you can see, I have only listed 15 DPS above, this is because I didn't want it to see like I was totally forgetting certain players. I am keeping in mind that Berms and Kwicked are going to be able to make both raid days soon, so that will be a very needed security for our raids. In the meantime, some other DPS have come in and stepped up for us. Dambala (mage) from Proxy did pretty good in our 25M and they have some other good DPS over there also. Not to mention, the pandas have some good DPS that they could offer us if we are missing a person or two. All in all, I don't want the DPS positions written completeley in stone yet, this also goes to the other classes. As I said in my news post, our ten mans have been a littly shaky group-wise. As we get out 25M straightened up, we will be more sure of the talent available to make solid tens. We have more than enough for tens, the challenge is as always to find a good class balance. The days for tens at the moment still have not changed for most groups, they are still basically Thursday and Sunday. Lastly, with the second ICC 25M run, with the infusion of talent from the people who can't make both days, and from the other guilds, we can make it a really successful pug-free environment for progression. In the future, I plan to make it Friday and Saturday so it even gets a progression day. The more successful it is, the less pressure people will feel to fight tooth and nail to be in the Tuesday run. So please, if you have geared alts/freinds, please come to the Saturday run. Alright fellas, I am out for now, I await your responses. ps. As a funny sidenote, Censored offered to acquire our guild cause they liked what they saw and wanted to bolster their ranks. When I heard this, I was like, thanks for the compliment, but uhhh......no!

Hey guys, I got up early to go running today so I thought for fun I would put up another "What's happening" post for everyone. Since my last post we have had a lot of things happen. For one, Prydain has become an officer and has gone mad with power, jk he has been doing good. However, he is still not going to get shadow's edge before Aaylah, we all talked about it and think she deserves it over his off-spec. New members: Ramnor randomly decided to stop playing, but he gave his account to Clidefrog, who I guess has two locks now, go figure. So, if you see Ramnor online, that is Clide playing his toon. I know you are thinking it and yes, Yacoub and I have gained great satisfaction in kicking, re-inviting, and re-kicking Ramnor several times since Clide has taken control. We can honestly say in Ramnor's case, "I've done this before guys." Since we needed an enhance shaman, we recruited Bloodbolt from Voodoo Tuna. He is a little rough around the edges at the moment and is big into pvp but with the help of Olathir and Glitter, he has the potential to really be a good addition to our roster. As for healers, Virage has stepped in as our new disc/holy preist very nicely. At first we were worried that his gear might need some help before he came into our core run, but he has proved once again that it is gear score, not skill score. Also for healers, Joycow has proven that Boredman was not even close to as great as he thought he was in his mind, lol. She has proven to be a great resto shammy and a pleasant voice in vent since Perenelle never talks at all, hint hint. Then again, Prydain has that sexy Latin flavor in his voice we all love. Speaking of tanks, Lastcow has stepped up greatly and has proven to be a good compliment to our tanking team. All in all, the departure of DK, Sammee, Boredman, Beubonik, and Bagbalm, has turned into an almost seemless transition for us. To continue with this trend, we are always on the lookout for good people/raiders. As a last note, we got the legend back (Finallegend), but let's face it, he never really left. Glitter's account got hacked this week, and one of the reasons we were able to secure his account was because we had his contact information. If it isn't too much trouble, for raid scheduling/cancelations, etc. If you guys could fill out your profile pages, that would be great. On a side note, Glitter's son got something else stuck this week, apparently a corn kernel in his ear. This is Spring break week, and right in the middle of Spring break week, we have St. Patrick's Day. It doesn't bode too well for raids because people are either partying or sick for some reason (Mel, I hope you get better). Which brings me to my next point. If you are gonna miss a raid, just send an in game mail or otherwise contact me or another officer. The guild bank was going through some rough times for a while in terms of money/flasks/mats, but progression, dedicated guildy money infusion, and other donations has righted the ship really well. To also help get us to this point, Yacoub spearheaded the efforts to run old raids for money, an effort that has generated over 10K over the weeks. Whenever we do old raids, you earn DKP so if you want us to continue, we can. Everyone asks Yacoub which raid he is running whenever he posts it on the calender, he never puts a specific raid because it depends on how many people he has coming which dictates the raid. So in terms of earning DKP in other ways, you can donate flasks/frost lotus's to Unholyfaith or run old raids with Yacoub. If you have any other suggestions, please tell us. Someone needs to level a druid named "Cheesesteak". On a sidenote, I live for seemless transitions. Progression: Well, the other week, we got festergut down and Yacoub is weilding our first shadow's edge, grats to him! This week, we downed him again and I got my shadow's edge. Two weeks in a row can make us say with confidence that we got those bastards on farm now. I believe, Teapee is ready to get his shadow's edge on Tuesday and Final will get his the following week. Then we can work our way through the ranks for off-specs to give out the quest items; Aaylah clearly deserves it over Prydain though, lol. The other day, with a non-complete group, we figured out the general mechanics of the 25M Princes encounter and I don;t think it will be too hard for us to down. As the progression of most guilds have gone, they went to Council after rotface & festergut, and worked on Putricide and Dreamwalker at the same time. This would be a good strategy of progression for us. The ten mans have been a little shaky group-wise in the last couple weeks but despite that, we had 3 groups down Putricide in one day, as well as one group down dreamwalker in one day. So now, I am confident that most of our core have downed Putricide/council/dreamwalker. Well, that's it for now. I will be posting more stuff on here more often so keep a look out. Also, I have an important 25M roster post coming in the raiding forums. Peace guys, oh and Geedub.....Prydain misses you.

Alright guys, you know me. I take care of a lot of stuff behind the scenes but never reveal what is going on. Also, I never really visit the website to post or view things. All that is going to change because I am getting tired of good loyal players in our guild getting screwed over simply by lackluster attendance/poor performance by other players/and bad raiding attitudes by people who have left already! We have lost a couple people and will continue to do so until we set a higher standard for people. This means in both attitude as well as numbers. Everyone has to step it up in all facets. I know of several people who spend a long time scrutinizing over their gear/spec to increase their numbers even the slightest. They look over all the possible upgrades and try to figure out the best way to attain the stats necessary to help out everyone as a whole in both the raids and other leadership areas. There are many of these people who cannot even come to some of our core raids because of schedules but still try to help out their gear/spec and others in the guild by keeping up with the latest info and pugging raids to make sure their gear stays up to par with the rest of us. Other people however, are not limited by their schedule and are in our core spots but just seem to coast along in our raids, they are just there to get whatever seems like an upgrade. I am not saying make wow into a job, but a little more effort towards understanding your class/spec/rotation/upgrade/comp. Etc. would help everyone progress. I play on my alts and stuff, but their sole purpose is to gear my main first and to understand other classes to help understand raid buffs/talents/etc. or our raid members. A good example of this is Geedub has 4 tanks and it is because of this he fully understands how they all work. Again, I am not saying everyone should get super crazy or anything, but again, a little more effort would help. This is for everyone even the officers, everyone has to step up their game. Current state of people we have lost and might lose: DK and Sammee left ou guild because apparently I have a gigantic ego and giving them everything they wanted was too much for them. They had asked to play with their freinds Beubonik and Bagbalm but when I tried hard to move people around so that it was possible, they couldn't do rotface cause their DPS wasn't enough. They couldn't blame Beubonik and Bagbalm for the lack of DPS, so they blamed everyone else. They also never listened to any advice from anyone who were trying to help em with their class cause they were you know, better than everyone. DK never flasked and when he wasn't in vent screaming some joke or somoething, he was in his own vent accidentally pulling when he wasn't supposed to. True, they made every raid, but that doesn't really make up for things. Beubonik and Bagbalm, we basically carried through our raids simply because they were freinds with DK and Sammee. They were online all the time and made all raids, but again, that only counts for so much. Boredman apparently thought that the way we dealt with raids wasn't the best and he went to aphotic. He thought we were immature, interesting coming from a 16 year old. The last two people I will mention here are NYC and NYCbeast. NYC's RL freinds came back to the game and he will switch servers on his warrior and play over their as his main. His hunter will still be here but he will mostly be playing over there, NYCbeast will probably follow him. I cannot hate on NYC, he has been loyal for a long time to us and much like when Mygrain decided to stop playing, I cannot really be angry at him for deciding to play with his freinds. Roster Moving forward: The legend has come back to the guild, that is right, Finallegend is back and ready to kick some ass. He never left us on a bad note, we were simply full on plate melee at the time. Loggs/Barsofgold (Clidefrog) has also come back to the guild to mainly play on his Lock for us. However, he is gearing out his Druid/DK/Enhance shaman depending on what we need. He is a good DPS and defnately will work hard for us. Honey's other guild (Kong Fu Pandas) has in it their GM Lastcow(warrior tank) and his wife Joycow(Resto shaman) who both want to come help us out in our 25M and 10M. They don't want to leave their guild on their mains due to nostalgia, but they will definately be good assets for us. An old guild freind Virage has come back to the game after a small hiadus and after a little bit of gearing will be a big asset in the dsc/holy preist area. I am in the process of talking with both Kateness and Starke who are also looking to add their preist/ret pally services. At this point, what we really need in the guild is a consistent enhance shaman, we are in dire need of one, we basically have everything else. Another rogue/DK/fury warrior would be nice but not a huge deal. I am also talking with this one resto shaman who has a 5800+ GS who is thinking about joining, I am sure he will be better than Boredman, lol. If you guys come accross any good players even if they are not among the classes I mentioned we need, talk to them and feel them out, they could be an asset to us. Guild Heirarchy moving Forward: We need another person as an officer to keep people in line and help out with day to day guild issues such as g-bank mats, roster, scheduling, spec/stats of people, etc. The person who I would nominate for that category is Prydain. He is goofy at times but he exudes all the attributes of someone who given the opportunity to be an officer would excel at it. Scheduling: We are sticking with the current raid schedule for now, ICC25M on Tuesday/Wednesday and 10M on Thursday/Sunday. Friday will be for VOA 25M and other random raids we feel like doing. Yacoub will still host some old raids during the week to allow people to earn some extra DKP for people. If you find people who you think are good raiders, feel free to take em to a 10M TOC and see what they are made of. Community: We as a guild are a bunch of fun loving guys who all want to progress. To do so, we have to be honest with each other and willing to not only accept input from other, but be brave enough to give it as well. Ego's should be put aside, no one is perfect. Help everyone you can and we will go far. Everyone has an opportunity to step up their game and take the initiative necessary to take our guild to the next level. All healers, talk to each other, DPS and tanks do the same. Lastly, and I am a worst offender of this, WE HAVE AN AWESOME WEBSITE THANKS TO MASTRIC AND UNHOLY, LET'S ALL USE IT! I DEMAND NAKED PICTURES! I will be on here a lot more often and I hope everyone else is also.
