Very much so, but it is also an honor that must be earned.

Not much, apparently ... just you turning in your Heart of Hakkar

I blame Smedlock

Good luck, Grim! May the eternal sun shine upon your continued victories!

Its all in the name.

Yeah, Stam seems to be the flav of the month in regards to the expansion. Hell... shaman tier 3 is Stam and Intellect.... I think they're making us more polar as the level and gear goes up.

RAWR!! After some help from Ghules, I have stolen his setup... For you healers, Detox makes Decursive look like a small red-headed stepchild. get it!

I like it! Ive seen many folks use AG or Pearl, and I really like the look. I really want to find something to give me cooldowns on totems and such... maybe this will turn into a new pet project. Tell me one other thing: Have you lead any groups using those CTRA lookalike mods, and have you had any trouble with it?

That looks very nice, Ghules! I need to learn more about the "frames" sets... looks like it would be fun to mess with. The only thing I dont want to have to do is reset everything with each patch... but I guess its the price you pay.

Oh! So thats what everyone was talking about last night! I heard them mention your name, but I could never find where you were... no wonder! *grins*

Chocoa! You are not relaxed! Only a crazy, mad fool would sing as such! Calm down! *grins evilly*

Homogenized, you are missing the point. If you need our help, post a link to your signups and let us know what you need. Most of the raid leaders in this clan have worked DAMNED hard to make our raids what they are. I had to seek out the classes I needed, and talk to alot of folks. If you are serious about making those raids work, then put in the time, and get them together. You are going to fail a few times. We did too. I am not going to do your work for you.

Okay, considering where this is going, Im going to step up and address this. First off, it was the impression of most in CSC that we were approached about an alliance by Peeta and Jerika in the hopes of helping you fill out your raids. However, other than getting a link for the TSF boards, no other mention was made by you as to what you needed help with. We are a group of adults who like to spend time other places, and that means we have lives and things to deal with. We cannot be expected to be mindreaders. Second, as one of the CSC raid leaders, when I learned of the alliance, I reached out to TSF on your boards and offered up my ZG raid as a possibility to get to know you better and fill out the raid. Peeta, Jerika, and a few others attended not only my raid but a few MC's as well, and to the best of my knowledge, had a great time. Many recieved loot and were extremely happy with how things went. This went on for a week or two, the people stopped signing up, with the exception of a few. Some we havent invited back because they werent pulling their weight and were replaced with more useful people. Others chose to join our ranks of their own free will. To the best of my knowledge, no one was EVER approached about membership or stolen. I have since filled the spots that were open in my raid with others who would show regularly. Furthermore, I asked many TSF members I knew where everyone was.... none could give me a concrete answer. Whether or not you choose to sign up is your business. Whether or not you get in is mine. Peeta and Jerika often got in because I was short on priests and mages, and because they are great players. I am, however, not at all short on Warriors, and CSC has some incredibly talented ones to boot. Homogenized, you play probably the most popular class on the server. That is not my problem. As a raid leader and a player, I have been nothing but kind and respectful up unto this point. I still count many of your number as friends. I had offered spots to your members where they were available - it is not my problem they dont sign up. I dont have Warrior spots open in my raid, and there are very few open in any raid. That is not my problem either. If you want our help with raids, please set them up, post here about them so we know in advance, and we will do what we can to help you out. Do not vent your frustration on me because you, as a leader, are not able to form a raid on your own. Baracko Clan Skullcrusher Shaman Warmonger Zul'Gurub Raid Leader

Im going to assume that RC bolts work? If so, a recent donation to me will be sent your way.

Suck it up, Troll boy! Its time to earn your keep! Bar

Damn, I love that movie We gonna call this the Relikk's Thunderfury Freedom Festival? Relikk is the very successful, very disease-free moocow standing on the side of that mountain in Silithus holding that super shiny object...

Understood. It will be up to the person getting the shard as to what they wish to do with it. All donations will be welcome.

Greetings, Crushers! As is the case with most raids, it's time to post the raid rules in stone for the betterment of raid! Attendance and Approval Approval in the raid is based on previous attendance. Since the inception of this raid, we have a had a decent, steady group of folks putting in the time each week. Many of us make the time because we enjoy the instance so much. Preference will be given to those who have been before and that have shown good performance. We do not compete for DPS or healing titles, but getting out damaged by hunter pets or barely using yer mana bar as a healer will not get you invited back. Please continue to sign up if you are interested, as many times regulars cannot make it for one reason or another. I do my best to approve the vast majority of the raid ahead of time for proper personal planning. Coins and Bijous Coins and Bijous will be needed on till a player has one of each, then shall be passed on to keep track of everything. Once it is confirmed that each player has a coin or a bijou, a reset will be called on raiders can begin needing again. This is somewhat of an honor system. Those caught infringing on it will not be invited back. We WILL NOT run on a master loot system. All of our raiders are mature adults and proportionate actions are expected. Starting 11/6/06, we will no longer put the filter higher than white, so that everyone can get as even number of coins bijous as possible. Every effort will be made to not loot in combat, but Im not going to accost everyone for infringements. Part of the fun of the place is that it is a wonderfully rendered and beautiful landscape, and it sometimes makes it hard to target there. Perfection is not expected, but please do everything you can not to loot in combat. Boss Loot Every raider is allotted the opportunity for one purple loot, one blue loot, and one set piece per raid. The only scenario that will deviate from this shall be when no one would like a piece of loot, but someone would take it over DE. Should more than one person be interested in an item not being DE'd, the winner of that item shall have that item count as their loot of that type We will not have everyone passing, waiting for it to be DE'd, then being rolled on. It negates the purpose of the initial rule. Furthermore, if someone takes more than one item from the DE pile, it will be expected for them to pass on main items down the line throughout the raid so that everyone can get something. You make choices on loot as you go, and sometimes waiting is necessary, and part of the fun. All shards will be raid-rolled. The winner has the choice to keep the shard or send it to the guild bank. Many folks dont have time to do everything, including raid, farm, etc., which is why the choice will be given. Hakkar loot shall be given more consideration. As many people have specific things they would like off Hakkar, it would be appreciated if everyone plan somewhat for their goals. Once you have gotten a piece of loot off him, please try to pass to those who have not gotten something so that everyone might share in our success. Also, despite the uniqueness of many of Hakkar's drops, please consider the status of the others who could use an item. The Crushers have always been about helping each other out, and if an item is a big upgrade for someone while you have something similar, please be kind and let the upgrade occur. We are 'Crushers. This should go without saying. The heart of hakkar will be rolled on each week by everyone who has not recieved one yet. As the heart is more valuble to some than others, the winner will have the option to pass to the one below or to pass to the raid leader to give out as individual award to those who have done well recently for the group (For example: our two priests getting favor on it for doing a fantastic job). Have a good time! If you arent signing up to have a good time, then dont sign up at all. This raid is primarily full of people who are looking to have a fun evening in an instance they love. Together, we have created a raid where very little instruction is needed and we can focus on having a good time instead. Assignments/orders will only be given out when absolutely necessary. Yelling is the the reserved right of the raid leader (Me ;p). Chatter is to be expected on TS between boss fights, and laughter is mandatory! A note about alternate raid leaders Should the raid be lead by others, the same rules above shall apply to keep continuity up and keep confusion down. The only way we can keep things light and fun is by things being similar so raiders need not worry about ever-changing rules. Lets get out there and have a good time Your raidleader, Baracko

The loot god's transmute is ready to rumble! Bring those mats to ZG!

WTB big lord killing tommorrow night approx. 9:30 server time so we can reap the benefits of the "OMGFRICKINGRT" buff during MC Wednesday. Wow... that was a big wish... PST with yer price.

I feel your pain... Im on the same timezone. As for the switch, lets stick with things as they are. Both of our mages have offered to bring their priests, and I understand your reasoning why. However, especially with V gone, I really need you two for surefire sheepage at Hakkar. See you all tonight!

Just a friendly reminder: Please meet at Yojamba or be somewhere near in STV to get the heart buff tonight at 7:50ish. Raid to begin thereafter. Hakkar shall fall again... Really would like another priest in there tonight! Mages too! Bar

Oh yeah, all the time. I try to zoom in on the loot, too, when it falls. Imagine that. *grins evilly*
