by *~ Sadie ~*, 5 days agoOur weekend 10 man won't be running Saturday night so I tossed up an Ulduar sign up on the calendar. If we can get enough people, it might be fun to go in and blow the place up.
We can maybe try and grab some achieves, and see if we can't get a couple of shards to drop. If you'll be around and looking for something fun to do, go sign up!
by *~ Sadie ~*, 19 days agoWith another xpac looming on the horizon, it's time to start considering what role you want to play in our raids. Are you going to stick with the same toon as your 25 man raiding toon? Are you going to change to an alt?
And this xpac brings a new twist with 10 and 25 mans being on the same lock out. Many members are leveling (or gearing) a second toon so that they can still run both 10 and 25 man raids. What about you?
We'd like to get an idea what all of our raiders are considering doing for Cataclysm so that we can begin the planning.
by *~ Sadie ~*, 21 days agoThere has been some discussion amongst the officers about the possibility of bringing in a new officer. Sham is still around in what I jokingly call a “consulting role.” But he is not officially an officer since RL has caught up with him and taken over much of his time. Over the years, we have tried multiple ways of deciding on new officers from taking applications, (bad idea) ninja promoting (worked well in some cases, others not so much) and just picking people and saying “hey you wanna be an officer?”
Why am I telling you all of this? I’ll tell ya why - because your opinion matters. We are curious whom our members would choose if they could choose an officer. Here is how it works. If you can think of someone that you think would be a good addition to our current group, send me a PM via the website with their name. DO NOT POST IT HERE. We don’t want people that are “nominated” to feel pressured, nor do we want the officers to feel pressured either. I know I have a few ideas and I am sure the other officers might as well, but we’d really like to see who our members think of when we say “potential officer.”
Now for the disclaimers:
- We are not saying we ARE bringing in a new officer. We are CONSIDERING it.
- Suggested names will NOT be disclosed outside of the current officer group. I’d suggest that each of you follow that as well and keep your suggestions private.
- Suggested names are just that, suggestions. We are not implying that anyone suggested will become an officer. Should we decide that we are bringing in a new officer, there are criteria that will have to be met.
- If you suggest yourself, you should probably just turn off your computer and walk away.
Just a few qualities we are looking for:
- Reliability - both for raids and meetings
- Ability to be a leader. Speak up when it is necessary, listen when necessary and the ability to tell when to do which.
- Integrity and Honesty
- Knowledge of the game, preferably multiple classes
- Maturity
- Ability to give AND accept criticism in a non-confrontational way
- Understands confidentiality - The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club!
Think you know a guildie that fits that? Send me a PM.
by *~ Sadie ~*, 22 days agoI was looking through my bank the other day and saw my Val'nyr fragments. I'd REALLY like the opportunity to complete the dang thing but it's difficult to do in pug since you can't really jump into a group and say "I call dibs on frags!" And once all the frags are collected, there is a little hurdle of killing Yogg (one light to boot)
So how about it? Anyone game for farming Ulduar for a few weeks? I already have 15 of the frags, so it's not like I am starting from the beginning. Alts are fine AS LONG AS they aren't undergeared and expecting a free ride.
C'mon hook a sista up! You'll get brownie points from the GM!
