Eff the Ineffable

Armory Profile | Website | GM’s Page

Yes, that’s right. We’re in a guild. Shock of shocks.

The guild is on Azuremyst-US and was founded at the start of Cataclysm.  We are casual raiders making some reasonably slow progression twice a week. We also have casual players who are in the guild as a “vacation guild” or who just don’t have time to raid.

Who’s There

Mostly bloggers and blog readers.  Which means we speak in complete sentences and only drool a little.  Some people are here as their primary server and others are just here now and then as a second server for alts or for funsies.  (See the sidebar for a list.)

Government

We tried officers.  It didn’t work out.  We’re back to being officerless.

Casual Raiding

Basically, it means:

• we are SRS BZNS! about raiding
• … but we don’t have a lot of time to do it

Playing smart is even more crucial when you don’t have a lot of time to play and don’t have the luxury of stacking the group with the perfect class mix.

We even have diagrams.

Stuff We Pwned

• Tier 11 on normal.  All of it!
• Baradin Hold
• Firelands except Rags

Raid Times

Right now we are progression raiding twice a week (Friday and Saturday at 6:30 Pacific).  Tuesdays are farm nights, where we might help out guildies get geared, muck about on alts, or do retro raids.
