As this raiding week comes to a close, you'll find most of us in a rather celebratory mood. Despite some glitches in raid organization resulting in cancelling one and doing a half raid on Sunday we managed to score 5 new kills in Ulduar without really sweating much (XT002, Ignis, Kologarn, Auriaya, Hodir - okay maybe the not sweating bit isn't 100% right, Ignis was a fucking sauna of pointless wipes until we got the kiting right but the rest was 1-3 shotted tops), and almost getting Thorim down (what can we do, we're old and sleep early :P). Decent progress on the 10 man front as well, with two raids knocking on Yogg Sharon's door tonight after trying him out in the weekend.

So, noble visitor, if you are an old acquaintance or kept tabs on us you'd probably expect us to still be trying to arrange vehicle passengers for Flame Leviathan or trying to figure out how exactly one can move in a vertical square for 1/8th of a semicircle (sorry for the pun Don ). Well, a lot of factors have contributed to this (obviously my stellar contribution to the bottom of the dps ladder), but most likely it all boils down to fish. Yup, that's true, from the moment the current administration established a mandatory free fish feast consumption policy, we transformed from zero to hero. Maybe it was the mandatory part, maybe it was the free part, or most likely it a gestalt assosiativce reaction with being hunted by angry moms with plates filled with greasy fish sticks and such (ooo er). Or maybe, we're all worshipers of the almighty penguin god.

Anyhow, awesome raiding week, hopefully only the start of a nice, smooth and challenging treck through Ulduar.

'till next time, so long and thanks for all the fish

While it's true that this page hasn't been updated since the last time shadow priests actually appeared on damage meters, the guild hasn't been idle. Kept awake during the long wait by steady drama infusions, we farmed, we geared up and bidded our time. Now Ulduar beckons...
