A Few Notes:

First and foremost, my baby girl, Heidi, decided that she was no longer content with a life of immobility and has elected to start crawling around the house. (Getting into positions and stuff that are usually not what I would have recommended...)

That being said, sometimes over the course of the next........well........forever......I might seem semi distracted when we're playing. :) I juggled that with healing last night and although we did lose a few, I didn't feel like it was completely my fault.

There's been a recent influx of players into the guild and an increase in the interest of ICC raids. (Of course, we've proven we can do it!) I've gone ahead and outlined what I'd like to do to accommodate this, but also, I wouldn't mind recommendations.

I actually believe that we have enough active members and raiders that we could likely get a second ICC group going. This week Lord Marrowgar is the weekly...so I'd really like to see the first 4 bosses go down tonight...and the second group go in tomorrow.

We may not have enough of each class to make a full second group, so we will likely have to PUG a spot or two. :)

In the interest of fairness, we do need to make sure that we rotate a player or two out of the "core" group that does ICC...but not so many that the entire raid's makeup is transformed. I believe it is wiser for us to KEEP the core/initial ICC group as intact as possible and begin working on forming a secondary group.

I thought about this long and hard. I didn't want to make anyone feel UNWELCOMED or keep anyone OUT of any content they want to see. When it comes time to form that raid, we'll go ahead and discuss how to rotate people in whilst still maintaining the balance we had originally.

This is going to be rocky for a week or two. Please bear with us while we figure it out and please do your BEST to not get offended. I promise you now, it was not intentional. We have a good solid core of active officers and I have alot of faith that we'll get it right quick.

As for the second group, I'm actually excited about making this a reality...I feel like this might also be a great way for us to recruit members...people may come over if they see we're doing stuff.

Marching Orders For The Week:

Down the first wing of ICC

Get your easy badge in The Plagueworks

At that point, the raid can decide what they'd like to do. I recommend Festergut, though there are mini bosses on the way there. Next Monday I will post strats for those fights -- since Marrowgar is the weekly and that makes him worth SEVEN Frost Badges..........priority
