Gordantell

Hey all, So far we have 7 solid sign ups and two maybies. If you have any desire to be a part of this please sign up. I'm not going to put any serious effort into getting this going if we don't have at least 20 people sign up. If you are interested sign up here and spread the word to others. Thanks, Gordantell

Oh yea, Oxhorn is my favorite. He took his stuff and ended up getting hired by an online company doing this stuff for a living. This one is my daughters favorite. Though I haven't explained to her exactly what roflmao actually means. -Gordantell

Hey all, With Maube's Mags/grulls run winding down and them moving on to a full time SSC run I'm going to start up a run on Sunday. Start time will be around 6:30 (the sunday early Kara run has been doing a 4 hr full clear so this should work). My initial idea is to alternate weeks, that is, do Grulls one week, mags the next week. There is a time restriction because we are trying to fit this in before Shelah's Kara run later sunday evening. Should it appear that we can down the bosses in enough time we will try both runs on the same night, but I will call the raid to avoid delaying the other Kara run. Please sign up here providing: -Your characters name -class and spec (especially if it makes a usage difference, e.g. all druids, shadow/holy priest, ect.). -alts : please list any alts you would be willing to bring, I will make every effort to try and gets everyones mains in but we might have to do some creative swapping from week to week. Hoping to get this up and running starting 7/27 (a week from this coming sunday) -Gordantell Almost 100 views and 8? sign ups? Damnit people Sign up!

Welcome to the Pin: First off Thanks to Baracko for the pin. Great run again last week, full clear in about 4 hrs again, I think i'll be trying out the new stop watch this week for a better idea of the time. Nothing special to report for this coming sunday, though I may have found a short cut that can save us another 5-10 minutes, we'll give it a try this sunday. I've been trying to confirm attendence each week but at this point I'm just going to assume the regulars will be there unless they say otherwise. That's it for now, Gordantell Attendence for week 3: Regulars: Kaerina (Hunter) Gwendilyn (Elem. Shaman) Bralor (Holy Priest) Kimpek (feral druid dps) Chayel (Gord and Alts) Verrisi (and alts) Ascoli (pali tank, off tank) Smedlock Subs: Aletia (Paladin) Vierendelen (Rogue) Attendance week 4: Regulars: Kaerina (Hunter) Gwendilyn (Elem. Shaman) Bralor (Holy Priest) (brought his mage) Kimpek (feral druid dps) Chayel (Gord and Alts) Verrisi (and alts) Ascoli (pali tank, off tank) Smedlock Subs: Sunfeather (feral druid) Vierendelen (Rogue)

Hay all, First off I'd like to congratulate everone last week, we were one boss from a full clear and did that in about 4 hrs. So of course this week we will be pushing for some more speed. Regulars: Kaerina (Hunter) Gwendilyn (Elem. Shaman) Bralor (Holy Priest) Kimpek (feral druid dps) Chayel (Gord and Alts) Verrisi (and alts) Ascoli (pali tank, off tank) Smedlock Sub list (people that have expressed interest in coming when they can, or if we need em) Tonac (hunter) Nawtnyse (warlock) Vickie (rogue) Kirvi (SP? can read my own damn handwriting) Katak (Warlock) Aletia (Holy Pali) Jaern (boomkin) Mogg (hunter) Burana (Shaman Elemental) Quelynn (Mage) Vierendelen (Rogue) If you want to come, please be on line before 2pm. I usually try to start invites around 1:45. -Gordantell

Is that server time? Also, what type of "folks" are you looking for yet? Takaas, Yes, that is server time. At this point we are hoping to find a dedicated healer (paladin would be nice but nopt necessary). -Gordantell

Hey all, There is a Sunday run of Kara the Smedlock and I put on. We are seeking some folks that would like to come and commit to the raid (be there just about every week, RL events excepting, of course). For those of you non-crushers that check this page, please post if your interested in joining up. The raid is scheduled to run from 2 to 5 or until we do a full clear (whichever comes first). Thanks, Gordantell

Hey all, (edited to add two committed to raid) Good Job week one. We downed all the normal bosses and even managed to Dethrown the Prince in one attempt. Gratz to everyone that got loot, even though 3-4 pieces of plate dropped with nary a plate wearer in the party. Sign up for week two is here. Again I'm hoping to get a regular group of 10 so we can concentrate on speed and clearing instead of filling the group. That being said here is the roster thus far of those I believe are regularly committed to this raid: Smedlock (Warrior tank) Kaerina (Hunter) Gwendilyn (Elem. Shaman) Bralor (Holy Priest) Kimpek (feral druid dps) Chayel (Gord and Alts) Verrisi (and alts) Ascoli (pali tank, off tank) Quelynn (*)(I' Mage) Sub list (people that have expressed interest in coming when they can, or if we need em) Tonac (hunter) Nawtnyse (warlock) Vickie (rogue) Kirvi (SP? can read my own damn handwriting) Katak (Warlock) Aletia (Holy Pali) Jaern (boomkin) Mogg (hunter) Burana (Shaman Elemental) The perfect last spot would be a healer any class (though a second pali buff buff would be great). If you want to become a regular, or want to offer up your name for the sub list please let me know. We are shooting for a start time of two so we can get as far as possible before the Latter Sunday Kara run starts (looks like we will have to end around 7). That's it for now. -Gordantell

Hey all, Sunday is fast approaching so we need a little info from everyone. First, here is what the group is looking like, for a 2pm start time, of those that have commited: Tanks: Smedlock(warrior), Kimpeck (feral druid,off tank) Healers: Bralor(priest, Holy) Melee DPS: Nathanial(paladin, retribution) Ranged DPS: Kaerina(hunter), Chayel(shadow priest), Gwen (elemental shaman) Jack of almost all tradesVerrisi's Harem (fill in spot) note: Chayel is my alt thus subject to change based on raid need. This is a list of those that will come if availiable but haven't specifically commited at this time: -Katak (warlock,RDPS) -Aletia (Paladin, Healer);or Sunfeather (Druid, feral, offtank/melee dps) -Jaern (Druid, Boomkin, RDPS) Fillers that will come if absoulutly needed: Scryll (or alts) (rogue, melee DPS; or healing or ranged dps) If two of the three maybes above can come this sunday we will have our 10 (with a pretty good mix). I will be looking to make the raid a solid 10 committed, with the maybes on a fill in list. Obviously we will be looking to move on from Kara when we get it on a strong clear. The raid will be Sunday only, so until we can do a full clear in one day we may be alternating which bosses we hit week to week. I'd also like to prioritze bosses occasionally based on whether they drop a crafting patern (e.g. not skipping Atunemen until all the Eng. have the scope pattern). I'd like to start the raid (or at least start invites) by 2pm (this is subject to change based on everyones responses). Everyone, could you Please respond letting us know if 2pm will work, and if not, the earliest you can be availiable. Could the three maybes let Smed or I know as soon as life permits whether you will be here this coming Sunday? I'd like to get a rogue added to the raid. If anyone knows of one that would like to come (preferbly one that would commit to the run) let me know. That's all I can think of at this time, again, please resond and let us know if 2pm is good, and if not when. And the 3 maybes please let us know as soon as you can your sunday availiability: definatly will; will not; or won't know till sunday. Smed? Anything I missed? Anything you want to add?. -Gordantell

Lomar, we would like you to bring your priest, can you send Smed or I a tell in game? Thanks, Gord

Hey all, Smed and I have decided to take over the early Sunday Kara Slot. What I'm looking for are those interested parties that would like to go. In your reply please let me know if you were one of the "regulars". Also let me know if you happen to have an alt or two that might also want to go. Please include class and spec. Not saying we won't take a shadow Priest or enhancement shaman or boomkin, just want to know what we can work with. Also, Smed and I were talking about an earlier start time, maybe around 2ish, so include time you can start (even if it is 2). Thanks, Gordantell oh, yea, hoping to have first raid organized for the 22nd of June.

Hail all, After a short discussion with our Chief we have opend the front tab of the guild bank so that peons can withdraw from it. I will be moving non flask level consumables to it, and as space clears I will try to move some of th elower level crafting materials (cloth, leather, simple ores, ect.) to this page also. I encourage anyone leveling an alt to make use of these items. -Gordantell, Elder of the Market Place.

Thank you Maube, I would love to come but that depends on your starting time. I work until 8pm and usually am not hom etill about 8:45p. If you're thinking about doing just one a night (grull or mag) and start after 8:45 I will definatly sign up. If you do both and can divide sign ups I will come to the later (if it starts before 8:45). I know who usually sign off by 11 so if working me in won't be feasible I understand. -Gordantell

I'm all for it. If you can use someone that doesn't get home till after 8:30 I'm in (unless its on Heroic night, already committed to that). -Gordantell

Pick a day and I'll be there. I'll bring whatever toon I have that will fit best whether or not that toon needs anything from the run. (excepting RL issues of course) -Gordantell Now, Of Course the Crushers will never make something Mandatory. But that doesn't mean there aren't some expectations. This is a guild, and unless you joined just to have green text in your chat window I would hope that helping out others in the guild is something you believe in. I understand that raiding takes time, that prepping for them takes time. Any goal takes time to achieve. I have seen so many excuses for why people can't help each other, some are legit, and some get very old after awhile. The Crushers, as a guild, has never made anything mandatory, for all the obvious reasons. But I am tired of seeing that used as an excuse not to do anything but your particular focus. Take a step back and ask yourself, can't I put X of till tomorrow to help my guild mates run one instance, complete a group quest, ect. If you can't, then why exactly are you in a guild? I'm not naming any names, if I did that would just be my particular judgment. All I'm ASKING is that you take a step back and really look at what your doing. It seems like every few months we go through this. Why? What are we laking? What will it take to create an atmosphere where people don't have to ask 7 days straight before they can get a group to help them through an instance? Like I said above, sometimes the reason are legitimate, but not always. So yea, Cristoba, I'll be there, Gordantell or whatever you need that I can provide. I usually am on by 9 pm. It will take away from my farming time, but eh, I always have morrograin to make. Anyone else who already hasn't done so care to step up and make the same commitment? -Gordantell

Is it me or is that a framed picture of Doogie Howser on the wall? -Gordantell

Hey Scryll, If we are having the run today I'll be late. Taking Daughter out for her 7th B-day. If you need to replace me thats cool. Just wanted to give you a heads up. -Gordantell

Whoogah! Muru (as soon as he gets rezzed) is Back! The Earthmother be Praised! -Gordantell

Way to go Tonac! -Gord

Hmmm, Didn't Sleyvas sell his account? So much drama, I can't remember for sure, but I think he did. -Gordantell

Follow the link, this is interesting, sort of. Gold farming Article -Gordantell

The truth is out. Blizzard's Burning Crusade expansion is nothing more then a diablical plot to destroy friendships. The proof: a real life account and the Horror that resulted:

Owing to my self imposed limitation on playing times there are alot of things I'll be looking for help getting acomplished. These first set of instance are one of them. Given a speceific time to do this and I'm all over it. -Gordantell

"Grrrump", "Grrrump", "Grrump!" Gordantell rises, shaking the sleep from his eyes. "What is it Boy"? Awoken by the bears warning Gordantell rises slowly from his mat. "A friend you say? Hmm." Gordantell peaks his head out of his tent scanning the ground. "Imp tracks, leading off to Volo's old tent." Suddenly the watch tower alights casting an ominous glow over the camp. "Skah, he returns." Gordantell shuffles back into his tent and falls back into his cot. Windcheater thumps down beside him a low growl caught in the big bears throat. "Get some sleep old friend, we're gonna need it" -Gordantell
