First, We will be introducing a Suicide Kings style loot system. This upcoming week (assuming we fill out with no "random" pugs), everyone interested in obtaining the Reins of the Black Drake will /roll. This will start the list. In the following weeks, anyone joining the group will join at the bottom of the list. If more than one person joins us in a given week, they will /roll to determine what order they come into the bottom of the list. The drake will be given out in this order, the bags are still available for /roll each week.

Second, I will start giving out 300 EP for this run, standby will be available. This is to encourage people who already have the drake to come, or people who may be near the bottom of the list. Remember if you are still on the list and do not show, you do not advance up the list.

My final (and most important) topic today is our attendance. It's complete shit. I'm right on the edge of instituting an attendance minimum and getting all crazy with recruitment, even for some of our senior members. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday have always been our raid days. This isn't anything new. If you can't make our raid days, then your raid spot might be in jeopardy, and please don't come crying to me when you didn't get a raid spot reserved for you when you only show up on one night. The calendar events are just there to let everyone know whats going on, they are not a "opt out" form. We raid 3 nights a week. If you can't make those raid nights, then I'm going to have to recruit some one who can. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

I know my urge to progress gets in the way of our "fun" goal, and for that I apologize. I'm going to be doing a few new things with the guild, to hopefully open up raid spots for everyone. At the moment we are recruiting: tanks, healers and ranged DPS (and maybe a feral druid). We're looking to grow to open up a second official 10 man.

Additionally I know my "iron fist" gets a little heavy sometimes, and for that I also apologize. I love this guild, I love what we've become, and I know I'm gonna love killing defeating Arthas with all of you.

I'd like everyone to take a part in shaping the guild. My ears are always open to new suggestions. If you have any ideas that you think would help with any facet of the guild, please feel free to hit me up.

Ok, back to reality. To make our raiding more efficient, we're going to split the raid team temporarily. One group will be tackling Icecrown, the other will be in Trial of the Crusader, honing their skills, and optimizing their gear. Its my intentions to get everyone in ICC as quickly as possible, so any heroics and emblem farming you can do on off-nights will only hasten you into Arthas' fortress (ok had to put a little more).

Right now I've got ICC schedule on Wednesday night, continuing Monday night, and ToC on Thursday night. I understand you can get the ToC level gear from heroic farming now, however you can't get a full set, as many items aren't available from badges. We'll use ToC as a chance to get a quick 15 Emblems of Triumph for the raiders, a few useful drops, and giving everyone a chance to better their raiding skills with the challenges there.
