Meeting 10 - May 5th

The Highlights from the 10th meeting:

Event Updates

Raid Team

• The 10-man team is now 13/14. We will be looking to farm the second half of the raid and practice those fights and dip our toes into heroic level fights for the first half. Additionally, we have completed the raid on Flex.
• Clears of older raids has gone swiftly clearing MSV, HoF and Terrace and are now going through them on Heroic mode and halfway done, hopefully finishing tomorrow night. There'll be a new mount you can access at the guild vendor once this is complete.
• Guild LFR Night is being canceled due to low interest. Most attendees for the event were 10-man raiders looking to hangout.
• There are 2 forum posts stared as announcements currently for any current and potential raiders discussing the possibility of moving Flex nights to a more convenient day/time for others in the guild and a discussion on the nature and expectations of raid leadership.

Old School Raids

• We'll be finishing our run of Ulduar in the next 2 weeks. Talk to Manila with suggestions of what you'd like to run next. So far the wind sways in favor of early Cata raids.
• Congratulations to Selanas on beng promoted to Jr. Officer.

World Boss Mounts

• Farming will resume shortly. Was on hold for a little while due to the server merger and a more active presence of guilds also farming these bosses. We reached out to these guilds looking to coordinate with them but were shut down since the efforts are designed to flood Trade chat as a form of guild recruitment.

Roleplay

• Will be reclaiming its Wednesday night slot as Sundays don't seem to work for Mira or B to run the event.
• We hope to have this event up and running again later this month.

Pet Battles

• We're very happy with the level of turnout we've seen as of late for these events.
• We'll be continuing with the new Badge system to test your skill levels with higher level champions to face.
• Zeenjan has started a new series of Safaris based around the pets obtainable through the Argent Tournament, currently run on Friday and Saturday nights.
• We've also opened a new section of the forums for Pet Battles.

Hearthstone

• We'll be starting tournaments later this month for anyone who plays.
• We won't be running any workshops at current as there does not seem to be much need. Instead we've opened a new section of the forums for Hearthstone discussion where you guys can share combo/deck ideas and strategies.

Bucket List

• We've also spotlighted another forum post put forward by Thalen a few months back. What is on your bucket list of things to do before Warlord's launches. We'd appreciate hearing your thoughts as we'll be looking to draw future guild events from your responses in order to help people with their goals.

Guild Party

• We'll be running another guild party in-game sometime later this month or early next. Look to see another land mount race, a jousting tournament and other fun party games.
• We've also been discussing having a real world guild party in early July. We'll be meeting outside of Pittsburgh as we've got several people who live in the area. We'll try to keep details posted for those interested, or talk to Ten and Yon. 

Monthly Contest 

• A reminder about our current contest, Buddy System Redux - earn points by helping your fellow guildies level, run content, craft, attend guild events and complete guild challenges. See the contest section for a full list of options and points. REMEMBER to mail Drazzl a list of your adventures so he can keep track of your points. Your choice of a mount and snazzy guild rank await.
• We're running a bonus contest this month in honor of Devesh - DK's are Underpowered. Since Blizz is making all sorts of class changes for Warlords, now's a good time to make a case what DK's need in order to compete with other OP classes out there. This contest will only be around for one month, so act fast. See the contest section for more details.
