So last night was a simple night of dragon killing. 
With it being Mother's Day, I decided against any progression raiding so you wouldn't feel the need to "Um...thanks...but I have to kill Morchak" with your family. In reality, I could have put something up on the calendar as most of you had your Mother's Day obligations and events done by the time we raid. Whatever, we had a great group come out to kill Sartharion. Pinkel charged in to tank him, much to everyone, including Hobbell's amusement since he was the designated tank.
You were so kind in your gifts. Stewed mountain trout, a bouquet of wildflowers, a red rose and a 34 and 37 pound redgill. Of course I equipped the fish. Who wouldn't want to go beat on a dragon using a fish? We all agree Blizzard is missing out on a huge opportunity to have battles using fish as the only weapons.
Sarth died in his usual quick way. We played portal roulette and then Valdremar asked if we could kill Ony. Hey, we haven't seen the old girl in over a month. Sure, why not. I'm bringing my fish.
Lots of guild spam as she died in a bit over 3.75 minutes. We didn't get the many whelps achievement so, golly gee whiz, we'll have to go back.
From there, it was, what dragon should we do next. A quick check of the guild achievements shows we don't need to kill Halion although a lot of you need the achievement for that. We opted, because I didn't know the Halion fight on 25-man, to go to Eye of Eternity.
One quick romp and everyone get some achievement and some people got more than one.
It was a very fun and productive night. Unfortunately, we didn't kill anyone in any of the raids, even when someone suggested we hunters misdirect Onyxia onto the lowest roll. Yeah, that was Toto but Nounours had built up so much threat that we couldn't get the dragon off her and onto Toto. You can see Kimmi, who was healing, wasn't taking any chances on getting the misdirect.
This week is the release of Diablo 3. I know a lot of you are going to be playing it. I've been asked by a couple of people if our Mumble server can be used to communicate between Diablo players. You may use room 3. As long as everyone in that room is an SD member, I won't holler at you. But, I might pop in and ask if you could come flesh out a raid or a 5-man, if we are short. Plus, if you care to, someone can make a thread in the forum with Diablo toon names to facilitate hooking up with SD members.
We're running 25-man Ulduar Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll take however many people on who want to go. This is a level 80 raid. Our ultimate goal is the Ironbound proto-drake so we'll be working through achievements. We also have 25-man Naxx and Trial of the Crusaders. All of these are 'by request' raids.
We had a boat load of fun, way more fun that we should have, on Friday night by flying into Orgrimmar, camping a location and just killing anything that came into the building. Taking over the bank was great as it took them roughly 30-40 minutes to rustle up 1.5 times the number we had to drive us out. What this leads to is that we are currently at 247,435 out of 250,000 for the Guild Gankers achievement. Less than 3k for this. We can get it this week if we run Tol'Barad when we can and maybe a couple guild BG's. I'm not asking Lohnar to stand around and be killed 3,000 times. Not happening. Of course, a spontaneous, "Let's go muck about in Orgrimmar" is always welcome.
And finally, speaking of horde, I need to thank Virges, Miltana by another name, for getting Deathtacular another achievement. He killed Delamonde in Tol'Barad and got Deathtacular the Night Elf Slayer achievement. We were all laughing about this. How ironic to get the achievement for killing, not only your guild mate, but also, your wife. That gives Deathtacular a whopping 70 achievement points. I think we are within 20% of level 2 now.
Lots of fun going on this week. See you online.

Pinkel Yeah, 3K death for Lohnar would be a bit much, but 2,999 seems certainly reasonable.....
Ragefire Chasm and then went to Wailing Caverns. 
Some weeks, it will be weekends so everyone can have a shot at this raid. Based upon who signs up, some weeks will be 10-man and some weeks will, I hope, be 25-man. We already know we can down Morchok so we have a start. The ultimate goal will be Deathwing, but it's going to take a lot of work for us to get there. 
Pirate hat. Dark blue icon color. Same green as SD's tabard. 
Gnome. Purple icon color. Pink tabard. 
Axe. Green icon color. Red tabard. 
Dagger. Red icon color. Black tabard. 
Crown. Gold icon color. Blue tabard.
Beer keg. White icon color. Brown tabard. 
You are an amazing group of people and I thank you for coming along. Everyone got "...the Kingslayer" title tonight if they didn't already have it. The guild achievement is for 25-man heroic which we probably can do with just a bit of difficulty. Those who helped with the 10-man heroic are shuddering at the shadow trap mechanic on the Lich King fight. 
Here is your guild leader and our clever guild name. Given the two events we're going to be doing with these toons, this is an apt guild name. The following toons are already in Spectacularly Dead: Bambina, Goit, Kitiffany, Batguano, Delamonde, Lohnar and Shiekybaby. Any one of these people can invite you into the guild. Bambina is Vervaine; Batguano is Mtwohb and I believe Shiekybaby is Miltana. I have no idea who Delamonde and Lohnar are. ;) When you have a moment, please log on and put your Spectacular Death name in your public notes. So far, we have a lot of priests and warriors.
