<Beasts of Unusual Size>
With launch right around the corner I plan to help those who are interested in the game and want a place to call home or just find more warm bodies for dynamic events, dungeons or plain PvP. I know some beasts still play WoW and if you would like me to update the OP with anything regarding servers you play on or other contact information let me know.

Anyways, double dragons down. I guess Maloriak attempts tomorrow if all goes well with Magmaw and Omni?
You just don't get it.
Also yeah the plan is Maloriak after Magmaw and Omni.
Kill some mans for me.
Grats on the kill too!
Also I've decided to finally finish Halo: Reach.

Man, with school starting and having a new puppy, I have not had much time to log on in the past week. I am hoping to log on this weekend and level my priest a bit. I had never played a priest past level five until recently and I am really enjoying it.
We had one interrupt (rogue) on Halfus the entire time, but the cd on kick wasn't short enough to handle each nova, so we had to finesse it a bit with Steve and Ark using Shield/Hammer to cover the ones he couldn't kick. OVERALL, not an ideal setup, but it worked.
(WTB 4.0.6 for rebuke plz)
Also Vali/Thera pleasantly surprised me. We downed them in like 3 or 4 attempts? I was a bit shocked when they died because I wasn't expecting it to be that fast.

I know I'm being all serious about (probably) nothing, but I'm a man of my word and if the sign-ups aren't treated with respect then they're pretty much worthless.
sorry about that

Sorry Gev but we have a new Enhancement shaman to replace you, KrasnoIforgottherestofhisname. But in all serious it wasn't an issue since we had enough Beasts to get started on time. This weekend however I have Ulduar 25 scheduled for some achievements for geese and mounts as well if I can manage enough Beasts.
@Aegis, yeah invites are open to ex-Beasts, just got to have Saeris or Munkus to invite you whenever they're online.
Now that you reminded me of the I can add it to the list!
I am right there with you on this.
Also, hope you're enjoying 3rd on the table, sucka!
The key word here is "blatantly"; the name would have to clearly break that policy, not just bend it, in order for it to be a problem to us.
Topic 2: Calendar usage. Again, as the Guild Info says, we have one strict rule for the calendar: if you click "Sign Up", you are guaranteeing that you will attend. Use "Tentative" instead if you're not sure you can be there.
If you are listed as "Signed Up" (not "Tentative") and you miss the event for no good reason, you'll earn a strike. Three strikes means you are unable to sign up for guild events for two weeks.
The point here is that it's pretty rude to say you'll be there and then not show up. You'd be wasting the time of the people who did show up and thought you'd be there. So, please, mentally equivocate "Sign Up" with "I'll Be There".
Topic 3: Guild philosophy. This one's simple. Our philosophy is to maintain the atmosphere we have here in the guild, above all else. Everything we do is pursuant to that goal. Other issues will always be secondary.
What atmosphere am I talking about? One which values the goal of excellence, not just for oneself, but for fellow guild members as well. To us, that is the fun part: to always be trying to become better, to improve.
That doesn't just mean raiding, of course. It doesn't just mean any single area of the game. Whatever you find fun, that's what we want you to strive toward, and what we, as a community, want to help each other attain.
Topic 4: Officership. We recently chose to reform the officership, and we have decided upon three crucial criteria for officers. Behold:
First, that they actually want to lead, and possess the experience to do so.
Second, that they understand what the guild is really about, as mentioned above.
Third, that they be active in the guild, creating or at least leading events (whether that be PvP, PvE, or the sort of ridiculous stuff that I personally come up with from time to time).
If you're interested in becoming an officer, let a leader know. However, the final decision will be ours.
Topic 5: Guild invitations. Only leaders and officers are able to invite to the guild, as has always been the case. This is to ensure that anyone who joins understands what the guild is about, and understands the naming policy and so on.
Main topic: Raiding. The current plan is to have as many Beasts as possible see the content. It looks like, right now, most raids fill up with 10 people almost exactly. However, there are times when there are more than 10 but not enough for a second raid. In the coming weeks, we'll try to determine how many people are still gearing up in heroics, and whether or not we can form a second raid with these additional folks.
In summary, questions and comments and suggestions on any of those topics are appreciated, and we'd be glad to hear them. Feel free to bring up any of those issues with the leaders.
edit: Some additional points, per questions I've received about the above:
- The bit on invitations applies both to new members and to alts. If we had some way to allow anyone to invite alts, we would. But, since there's no way to specify that, we're just having officers and leaders handle it. We could have a bottom rank with no permissions which people default to when invited, and then let anyone invite but not promote, but that leaves the issue of setting the officer note. We may do this in the future, but for now we have enough new people and enough new alts regularly joining that we really need that note set as soon as they join. Besides, about 1/4 of the roster still has inaccurate notes or the wrong rank; that needs to be curbed first. If you find someone needing an invitation, you can feel free to tell them that our current policy is dumb or whatever, but just direct them to someone who can invite.
- This isn't particularly important since the leadership is static, but: leaders do not follow the same criteria as officers. It's the responsibility of the leaders to maintain the atmosphere of the guild first and foremost, as mentioned in topic 3. The whole reason to have officers is to have people devoted to doing the other stuff, or at least helping with it.
edit: A couple more:
- Beast ranks have temporary invitation privileges for convenience until we can get a few more officers up.
Now now, Man U and Arsenal both played and won two games this week. Man City can win and still end up in 3rd.
We're short on officers because we removed all previous officers.
VDex Project:
So we've been relieved in order to give the officers an opportunity to know what they're signing up for. It fits in with the "enjoy the game as you see fit" philosophy that we've maintained for four years now.
Also, yeah, I'll echo what Gev said. He's got it exactly right. Right now is the transitional phase, where we're finding new officers. If you hadn't noticed that we're doing this, that's good! It means all is going according to plan, because this change is not supposed to shake things up. Everything will be basically the same, just with the people who want to lead actually holding a position commensurate with that desire.
But talk to me or Munkus or Sieg if you believe you meet those three criteria listed above, since we are still looking for a few more.
I highly doubt that's what you mean but I want to make sure
And I'm calling bollocks on us missing the kill the hands and body withing 12 seconds. We were well within 12 seconds and no achievement

I have never really even known who the officers are and I think thats a good thing. Cause no one ever really throws thier weight around, they just do important things.
Also I never knew uld could be so much fun even at 85. I don't think i will make the follow up though cause its a date day with the wife. Maybe I'll just stay at 84 or something.
Youse guys are the best.
EDIT: Also, god dammit, all my profits from auctions disappeared because I've been gone over 30 days, fffff.
