Twins raid called

Bastet · October 11, 2006, 07:57:31 AM

Now twice we had a night to only practice on the twins, and twice we had to call to imbalance / attendance. As discussed yesterday a possible solution is to start in AQ and save BWL for last. That way we can use that to gain some leverage (as in, dont do it if AQ raid was called) so that we always spend 2 full nights in AQ.

Now from what i recall from last night most the officers agreed, but since not all was there, this post.

Whatever makes us get further in AQ40 im for. Its a disgrace to call the raid twice in a row, and frankly we need to resolve it somehow as the reactions from the players is as harsh as our own

Skipping BWL for AQ40 in a week is not a good solution since we need the gear, so im not sure what we should do really

Announce AQ40 for Thursday then do Twins Sunday. Let's do it. However I do need elemental earth on Guildybankee if you want any NR pots as I have only 10 atm.

Lets not announce anything until we see who shows up for thursday

Got a full and good group, then we go to AQ40

Officers please remain in Ironforge so we can decide where to go close to invite time

Your sujestions to start real early and only decide just before invite time dont add up padding. Personaly i would announce that we are turning the raid calender upside down, and hold the option open to skip BWL if AQ dont work as planned

Edit, TL i got several stacks, adding up to somewhere near 29 from the top of my head, and i got 14 shadow oil (god knows why)

Yeah.... Announce AQ40 Thursday/sunday with *maybe* BWL tuesday if we feel that the progress in AQ40 is good enough

Im down with that

TeaLeaf · October 11, 2006, 08:50:41 AM

Sugar - send the shadow oil back to me Teaell please, I was making Shadow Prot pots for Twins fight for tanks & lock.

I would also agree that we should go AQ40 Thursday and hold BWL off until we have had a good night at Twins. But in order to get a prompt start we will need to announce it beforehand to give time for people to get there, otherwise by the time invites are finished and travel completed our 19.15 raid will start at 20:00. I'd like to get everyone there at 19.10 and then start at 19:20 immediately after invites. Thursday & Sunday usually have good turn outs, so let's go for that for AQ40.

On a general note, can we try to move invites to 19.00?

I know its been a problem for some people earlier, maybe the 15 minutes isnt that big a deal anymore?

I think it might give us a wee bit more time in some places

TeaLeaf · October 11, 2006, 08:54:43 AM

The 15 mins is a major deal for a number of UK players - it's damn early and any earlier and you *will* lose some people. I'd say not to move it at the moment as the time itself is not the problem it's the attendance. One thing at a time.

Okay fair enough.... just thought that 19.15 is weird time. Maybe 19 was better, but lets keep it at that atm

Bastet · October 11, 2006, 09:22:08 AM

Its the 15 min they use to grab something to eat between getting home and jumping on for the raid.

Anyway TL can you draft up a short announcement to say our raid days have been changed and why?
