      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey everyone, just wanted to say congrats now that we are in the top 10 for progression on the site, that iss including both horde and alliance guilds! &nbsp;We are getting close on warmaster as well so that is going to bump us up again! &nbsp;Everyone has been working really well together and its still a carefree laid back raid, its not an easy thing to do be we are getting it. &nbsp;Most guilds bash their heads in the wall trying to learn new bosses but we are able to just laugh it off and talk about the&nbsp;ridiculous&nbsp;things a guildie might say (sara). &nbsp;This is by far the best guild and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else! &nbsp;keep up the good work and just keep having fun!<div><br></div><div>-e</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hey so we have had a lot of questions about group compositions and loot policies.&nbsp; Since we have had such an influx of membership as of late&nbsp; and an increase in the numbers of groups we run, we thought we would give ya some more clarification.&nbsp; Look in the charter under loot rules and expectations.&nbsp; These are pretty clear cut but if there are any quesitons feel free to ask any officer or me and we should be able to clarify it.&nbsp; If we cannot clarify it we will hold an officer meeting to further figure it out.&nbsp; These are just times where we can grow together as a guild and help each other out, afterall big families are always more fun!</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>-E</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey everyone, 3/8H! The fights were a little tough to figure out at first but we have a great player base! &nbsp;We know what it takes to do the fights and soon we are going to have more progression! &nbsp;Top 15 on the server and we are going to only climb higher. &nbsp;Torn asunder has turned from a rag tag group that played to goof off and have fun into a group that plays it as a game and is continuing to&nbsp;succeed. &nbsp;Not many guilds can pull off the laid back attitude we have AND see new content each week. &nbsp;We all work together quite well and as cheesy as it sounds, I'm pretty proud to be your guys' GM.<div><br></div><div>-E</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[So I haven't been able to keep up with the posts lately but I thought we should at least let the world know how amazing we are. &nbsp;We got a few new members and are now 1/8 on heroics. &nbsp;We aren't amazing cause of that, we are pretty much awesome since we play the game so casually and yet we have progressed farther than a lot of guilds that have been attempting hardcore progression raiding. &nbsp;So lets keep up the good work, but most of all keep having fun!<div><br></div><div>Once we get some more people PVP geared we are going to be building a team for RBG's so if you are interested in running those and not a member of TA, message an officer to talk about joining for RBG's</div><div><br></div><div>-e</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well we got the spine down last night after some frustrating attempts, but hey we got it down! &nbsp;We are going to put in some extra attempts to finish off deathwing once and for all on monday, SO BE THERE! &nbsp;Overall a great week of progression and an even better week for me to come back from traveling abroad. &nbsp;Everyone get ready cause we are in the home stretch! &nbsp;We may not be the fastest progressing guild on the server but hell, we beat a lot of other guilds and we have tons of fun at it!]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've finally hit 50! It only took a billion times longer than it should have!<div><br></div><div>Anyway, apologies for the wait. We now have 8 members at 50 and gearing up for Ops - excitement ensues.</div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, I do not have time as I originally planned to commit to an Op this week personally. Rather than attempt to shove Pavan into an Op Leader role, I left a post in the Alliance forums letting them know that we have a number of members available to run this week if needed. I'm deeply sorry for the confusion, but I have some RL stuff that...really, really needs to take precedence.</div><div><br></div><div>As of this coming Friday, however, I will have my next week's work schedule and therefore an Op schedule for the guild up and ready. This gives us time to gear up in Flashpoints as well. No guarantees, but expect Op nights available to be Wednesday/Saturday nights, with the possibility of Thursday - all around 9-10EST [again, dependent on work]. Thursday is unlikely to be consistent, but work currently allows for that. If you can't make that at all, let me know - I promise I'll do my best.</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<DIV>After logging in from my parents' home computer, I discovered to my dismay...the website is half-unusable.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>I found myself concerned. Everything was sized wrong, the banner unreadable...and I can't seem to figure out if it's simply that my sister's Explorer setup is borked or if it's the website design itself.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>So if anyone is having any difficulty reading anything, let me know. It SHOULD be liquid - that is, resized to fit each user's monitor. If it's not, drop me a message so I can see about fixing it.</DIV>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>A Much Needed Update</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I haven't posted in a while [I've been busy!] so just an update from the last few weeks:<div><br></div><div>- Our TOR branch has been successfully established and recruiting in-game has begun! I've yet to reach level cap myself due to work and the holidays, but that hasn't stopped two Sith Warriors from getting to 50 anyway. Congrats to them.</div><div><br></div><div>- On the WoW side of things, Ragnaros was dead before the Dragon Soul patch and the guild is [I believe, Forrest and I really need to sit down and deal with this...] 3 encounters away from completion of Dragon Soul normal mode. Many members have also already completed it in the Raid Finder.</div><div><br></div><div>- New website features are likely incoming due to upgrades Enjin is providing for TOR, so be looking out for those</div><div><br></div><div>- And just an FYI - while Forrest/Etoro DOES technically have the power to fix any problem in Mumble that I do...he doesn't have the familiarity with it that I do. So if there are any issues, feel free to message me/text me and I'll probably be able to handle it as soon as I get to a computer.</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Things have been getting a little lax in raids as of late. &nbsp;Yeah we are geared and competent but when you stop payin attention it doesn't matter how amazing you are. &nbsp;I know we are a relaxed raiding guild that puts real life first but when you are in the raid you are expected to perform and pay attention. &nbsp;If you start failing in that either me or one of the officers will pull you aside and tell you to get your shit together. &nbsp;The first night is progression and between the two days we should have no problem getting rag down, we die to people not caring or paying attention.<div><br></div><div>On a side note we will be starting a 2nd 10m group that will run thursday and mondays 9-12 like our other group. &nbsp;This will allow better geared alts as well as newer members firelands runs.</div><div><br></div><div>-E</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ok, long drawn-out stuff incoming: you've been warned.<br><br>FIRST!<br><br>DJ/Shammoos is a badass. While doing Alysrazor tonight, our core group of nubsauce raiders managed to die with Alys at ~2-5%......except DJ. The bastard managed to survive long enough to kill Alys with just his elementals.<br><br>Props, asshole.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: medium none;" alt="" title="" src="http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k576/Wyndryder226/Torn%20Asunder/Boss%20Kills/WoWScrnShot_092811_221626.jpg"><br><br><div style="text-align: left;">Alright, with that out of the way - we also have a killshot from Majordomo this time [because Forrest is a nub, as was previously mentioned]<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: medium none;" alt="" title="" src="http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k576/Wyndryder226/Torn%20Asunder/Boss%20Kills/WoWScrnShot_092811_231628.jpg"><br></div><br>And now, most importantly: the schedule shit.<br><br>With our progress in Firelands being what it is, we've decided to move Night One of Firelands to Tuesdays until further notice. We'll be doing three nights of Firelands total [which means I still won't likely get to kill Rag...QQ...]. The Tuesday night raid is still going to be limited to the first four bosses - Shannox, Beth'tilac, Rhyolith, and Baleroc - with the intent being for Wednesday to be about progression against Rag and Tuesday about getting the people we've been neglecting into Firelands...finally.<br><br>Sorry it took so long, guys.<br><br>Another small note on loot: we're pretty much just straight-up giving up on a hardline loot system. With 10-man raids, and the groups <span style="font-style: italic;">generally </span>being relatively close-knit, we [the Council] just don't feel that it's necessary.<br><br>That said - we can't emphasize enough that this means added expectations on the guildmembers. Essentially, the rule went from EPGP to open roll to "Open Roll, but really...just don't be an asshole." If you get loot, don't be rolling on more when other people need stuff too. Get in the mentality of "what's best for the raid, and what's best for the guild" instead of "what's best for me."<br><br>I know it's not the easiest thing in the world, [trust me, I've been there] but it IS the expectation. And our raid leaders DO, therefore, have the right to make a judgment call and disregard a roll if they feel that you've already gotten something and someone else deserves it, etc.<br><br>Call it a low-key Loot Council, just call it "Don't be an Asshole," whatever you want. But we're relying on the guild to be looking out for one another, and the raid leaders to be looking out for <span style="font-style: italic;">everyone.</span> If you have a problem with it, or you think something or <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">anything</span></span> was handled improperly - then get screenshots if you can, record it in Mumble if you can, and take it up with either me or Forrest/Etoro. I promise we'll do our best to handle it rationally [even if it's a problem with us]<br><br>That said - 6/7 in Firelands, people. One more, and we can start thinking about hardmodes and making sure we're geared for 4.3.<br><br>I hear there's this dragon that might need killing.<br></div></div>]]></content:encoded>
