Temporary Break = Vote

Well, Iggy recently informed us that tonight was his last Karazhan. Whether it's not fun, or he's burnt out on Karazhan (that happens when you farm instances) or it's because we're losing people who knows, but I'd like to basically call a vote:

"Do we want to continue to push on if we are sans Iggy?"

and

"Do we want to even push on if we still have Iggy?"

My idea is to honestly take a break until maybe September when I get back from Vacation, Zul'Aman will be out, it'll be a new instance and something new for all of us to do, this is obviously only feasible if Iggy is still with us, if not, I'm still up for getting Karazhan together and 3 weeks is a decent enough time to find a replacement tank or to start gearing up for one. I'm no amazing beast, but if necessary I'd spec Prot to keep the raid afloat.

So, Yes or No for both questions, please cast your votes.

Friday = MIA Maybe?

I'm dealing with some nasty flooding bullshit right now so I may or may not have a room/house to play WoW in. Just hope for the best for me and all my wordly possessions and I'll hopefully be able to log on tomorrow and we can get things back on a roll. If not, I'm sure I'll be available for the next week no problem. My PC is currently unplugged and on the 1st floor of my house out of the basement. Chances are it's not going to get bad, just gotta wait until the end of the night, but you never know.

Its not really the worst but....

You're going to need a new healer. I'm taking my wow break. The game has become nothing but a bore to me at the moment. I'm sure I'll be gone for a hefty amount of time. I don't really know what else to say.. thats basically the gist of it. Its just what I gotta do..

Prepare for the Worst

For the remainder of the month I think things are going to be a little iffy with us but it's no need for anybody to blame each other or start flipping out or anything. I don't want people to get worked up if for some reason we DON'T have a Kara raid on a Tuesday/Friday. As far as I know we should be good on Friday, although we do need to find a healer if we don't want to dual heal, so if you know anybody, please tie them down and bring them to our raid.

We've obviously taken a few big hits recently due to Sleyvas and then Iggy's computer problems (Not Iggy's fault, it is Sleyvas' fault though.) So, we're still kind of grasping at strings occasionally, we have Archaeus for sure, so that's a good back-up plan I think. Jalzin is there for us Friday at least, and 90% of my gear upgrades are going to be coming from Karazhan, we just need that tank loot to stop dropping.

For advanced warning, on the 21st Alenaira will be unavailable due to IRL school stuff. I need to recheck my schedule but I MAY not be available on the 28th due to a trip I'm taking to Oregon, which will leave me out of raiding for at least 3 raid days maybe 4 (I'm coming back around September 8th or 9th.) So, our mission is to basically work hard to find healers or do a lot of spec switching around if need be, but we will plan this in ADVANCE.

So, here's the overall game plan for everyone:

- Find an off-tank or extra healer.
- Find additional healers/off-tanks that we can rely on.
- Find a few extra DPSers.

Basically, get out there and tell your trustworthy friends and such and or bribe them into coming to our raid with oral sex.

Tuesday Friday's Raid

First off thank you to both Konstance & Jalzin for showing up and helping things get on a roll, you all did a great job considering our circumstances. We obviously have a few things we need to work on to get back on a roll, but I'm sure we can do it, if need be we can always have some fun time doing respecs if people are willing, we'll have to see what we can get permanently.

Also, huge congratulations to Namoric on the bad ass epic mount AKA Nightbane. Even though it looks almost like a Warlock horse, he still deserves some congratulations on it. So... congrats to you! :p

Konstance won't be able to make it this upcoming Friday, she has something going on IRL that she needs to take care of. I guess the important thing to do right now is find another healer if we don't want to dual-heal this thing.

As for an off-tank, I've spoken with Jalzin and he's willing to fill in for us until we find something more permanent. This Friday he will be speccing for DPS instead of Prot, but he has to remain Prot for his guild since he's the only level 70 warrior they have. However, things may change and he may go full time DPS and become our off-tank. A quick FYI on him is that he's experienced in Karazhan with his mage but this Tuesday was his first time in as a warrior, so things can only improve.

Thanks Sleyvas

Sleyvas, I don't know what the story is. You got hacked and your character is transfered to Undermine, or you got a good offer from an old raiding guild and transfered back, or whatever, but in so many words "It was dick of you to not tell us." and play the "I might not be there Tuesday because I might have to work." card. Either way I guess we're ending up severing ties here and now unless you got majorly hacked or something serious. Talking all the crap about Blackfang Brotherhood and our guild drama and then talking about loyalty, etc. What a load of bull.

So on behalf of the Skullfang raid:

"Thanks for taking all the loot and leaving us in the dust, you're a real hero."

August 21st & Alenaira

On August 21, Tuesday's raid. If there is one I guess. I'm sure there will be one. I will not be at that Kara's raid or maybe the next time. School starts up on the 22nd here of August and I like to get my ass on the ball instead of worrying on a game right now..

I will try best to either come, if not find a replacement for me.
