Lurk Moar

Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
- Henry David Thoreau

And ET has continued its march forward, downing the leviathan known as The Lurker Below. After a week or two of intensely close attempts, we've entrenched ourselves in Serpentshrine Cavern, and now we sat our eyes on its further guards and, soon enough, the matron Vashj. Elder Tribunal is preparing for the tough fights ahead, and while we have fun in heroics and PVP, everyone knows that come raid time we've got bigger fish to fry.

Congratulations to Elder Tribunal, Welcome to our new members, and sorry to Psymon our newest Officer.

-Sanctum (Loot Teh Dogs)

"Myth does not mean something untrue, but a concentration of the truth." - Doris Lessing

From far corners of the world they came, scarred and bloodied. Across different worlds they travelled, sharpening their wits and honing their blades. Over countless nights they fought to survive. At once, joined together, they sought their mark, an adversary to match their abilities and give them chase.

Through fire and shadow they persevered, though the earth quaked and walls thundered at his call, and beneath them, the Pit Lord Magtheridon, Former Lord of Outland, fell.

From his death, spread honor and glory. From his blood, spread Nazgrel's favor amongst the Horde. And from his lair, treasures unearthed fell into the hands of champions, heroes and defenders who set their eyes on greater evils, and somewhere in the distance, those beasts felt a chill, for they knew of our approach.

Congratulations to all those who participated in Elder Tribunal's First Kill, a great job was done and a great time had by all.

Fuckoui, my friends. Fuck oui.

A Little Help From Our Friends

What would you do if I sang out a tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ear, and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Ooh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends. -The Beatles

On Tuesday, March 25th, Elder Tribunal returned to a place of infamy, armed with spell, sword and a generous assortment of allies from various tribes. After a few trip ups, we slew High King Maulgar, once again, and proceeded to show Gruul the Dragonkiller that Gronn are not, as they say, the true power in Outland.

We are.

Elders look forward to a return to bigger instances, the new challenges and opportunities introduced in patch 2.4, and a continued rise to glory. While our new recruits cut their teeth on older meat, the veterans look over their shoulders, preparing them for greater challenges. Check us out.

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. -Andrew Carnegie

And then, in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey
-Conquest, by The White Stripes

Malacrass was profoundly lacking Mojo last week when Elder Tribunal threw open the doors and brought the fight to him. After several grueling attempts, the Elders got their hands on some good juju and brought down the tyrannical troll. We're all very proud of our success, but our appetite wouldn't be satiated with one new kill...


In fact, we continued our inexorable march to Zul'jin! He fought us on wing and foot and paw, but to no avail. The mighty troll leader could survive losing a limb... but not us.

And the rest, is history.

Happy Lunar Festival!

The Zombie in Red... Is dancing with me... (cheek to cheek)... - "Corpse" De Burgh

February heralds the celebration of the Lunar Festival and Love is in the Air WoW events. So, prepare your fireworks! Prepare your peddlefeet! Time is marching on, and you must march along, or get stomped on, lol.

In progession news, we are making progress in SSC and TK. We downed Lurker for the first time Wednesday (Hydross on farm status), and we are planning on kicking someone's Astromancer in TK on Sunday (loot reaver also on farm status). (KZ, GL on farm status. 3/4 bosses in ZA. ML on hold for now). And we continue to make progress on the PVP fronts by hosting multiple PVP farm teams multiple times during the week. Huzzah for purplies!

In other news, congratulations Warriorphil, Pramlock and Etselec on advancing your applications! Good luck in the application process!

For those history buffs... the WoW Lunar festival tends to coincide with the Chinese New Year. We are currently in the year of the pig, and we will be progessing into the year of the rat. Also, the Love is in the Air festival coincides with the U.S. Valentine's Day holiday.
