Time to make it rain!
Hope everyone had a good extended weekend, and you paid homage to past presidents and bought some furniture.... With that said, thesis going to be a good week for raiding. I'm confident that we will finally make some serious progression.
It's been a real struggle with the roster changes, and really do appreciate everyone who has played a role and stuck around.
One small issue... melee... As of now, we really only have one solid melee (Josh) and really need another. We do have some new people and am excited seeing them sign up and willing to raid. The issue is, however, is that they are priest(s) and ranged. And their alts are ranged as well. We do have a new paladin; and I'm hoping he signs up...
I'm going to reaching out to the group this week and see if we have another melee that wants to regularly raid.
Have a great week!

Happy Friday Eve.
Just a quick reminder... Tonight is progression night; and I really want to kill some new stuff. I know we've had problems on the last two fights; but I'm confident that starting fresh on Gunship will really give us a good edge.
We had a good signup on Tuesday, and I'm about to go approve raiders for tonight.
On a side happy/sad note... Scott won't be raiding on Thursdays with us for a while, because he and his wife are doing birthing classes. Congratulations Scott and wifey! Can't wait to see a new Jackhammer wearing a baby Horde onesie.
Lastly... I know I've mentioned this, but don't just log on to raid guys. We have a ton of fun doing some PvP at night (or during the day). If you haven't PvP'ed with us... give it a shot; I'm sure you'll be back for more.

Upcoming nerf
So... just as in WoTLK... we are getting a wide-raid nerf. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but at this point we'll take it.
About last night... I'm still concerned with certain aspects of the raid. Our DPS was there as well as healing. However, some of the mechanics are just not falling into line. At this point in our progression, we shouldn't be wiping on Gunship (or whatever it's called) and should be on Deathwing.
I'm hoping this nerf will get us through our troubled areas. It's important that everyone really starts tweaking their gear. I saw a few times where people weren't food buffed or flasked. There's no excuse for it. We have a guild bank filled with gold, food and flasks. If theres something you don't have... ask!
Ok all... See you tomorrow for our progression night.

The family splits…
Happy Friday! We had a meeting in Ventrilo the other day; and wanted to give everyone who wasn't able to attend a brief synopsis of what transpired.
Unfortunately, a few of our raiders (and friends) are moving on to other Warcraft related objectives. Cless and Zotak are moving to a 25-man progression based guild. In the same breath; Chris and Erin will be transferring servers to play with some real-life friends.
I personally wish you all the best of luck and success. You will always have a home here in AJ! You will all be missed... Not simply because of the spot you fill in the raid; but because of the relationships we've encountered in-game.
With that said... We will be changing our raid schedule back to Tuesday's and Thursday's; starting January 19th.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Insert popular interweb meme here…
Happy Friday AJ crew! Just wanted to pop in for a quick post and update. Everyweek we seem to have issues with the Gunship in Dragon Soul... I know we all have the concept; but I really think the group makeup was a tad off.
With that said; please do not be offended on whom I choose to take for the night.
On a secondary note... It looks like our Star Wars: The Old Republic crew is growing and doing well. I'm very excited for these guys; and encourage you to hook up with the AJ crew in SW:TOR. Currently, there isn't a Mac version; so at least Josh and I are SOL until that happens (don't give me crap about dual booting, etc.).
I'm fairly confident that once there is a Mac version; I'll be dabbing into the scene to see how it is. I will be no means be abandoning Warcraft; but to be honest... I'm not sure I'm going to play in the next expansion. I'm still waiting for Blizzard to tell me they were joking about the panda monks... I will probably try the test realm/beta for Pandarian; but... They are really going to have to 'wow' me to keep me as a subscriber.
Have a great weekend, and please be sure to comment and let me know your thoughts.

Yes Deathwing, there is a Santa Claus….
About last night... We were missing a couple of our regulars; and had to swap people around... This also gave us a late start. I know it wasn't a real smooth run, but we did manage to get four bosses down. Not great, and really not many upgrades for people.
Regardless, we managed to pull through the best we could and are that much closer to a full clear.
I'd like to try and continue on Friday (tomorrow) night at 8:30. If you can, please sign up... If there's no way you can; please let me know.

Thank you sir, may I have another?
Nice job tonight everyone. Two more bosses down, and we also made some great progress on Deathwings Spine. We'll start all over on Wednesday, so be ready for a big clear.
Just a reminder, I'll be out for a couple of weeks starting next week... You guys own!

The art of being thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I just want to express my thanks to everyone in the guild; past and present. Over the last five years, I've made a lot of great friends. Some still raid with, and some still stays in contact with me on Facebook, Google+ and email.
I look back at all the people that have made the game enjoyable for me to play with... Tony, Brandi, Rusty, Mikey, Barry, Bryan, Shandray, Jason, Kim, Rich, Justin and the Larry's. (I'm sure I've missed a handful) These guys and gals really made the game not simply about killing stuff, but also having a ton of fun doing so. Although they don't play anymore, they impacted the guild and will forever have a place in any game I play or real life.
My old crew, like... Dan, Nate, Jamie and Josh... These guys have been around forever and still continue to play. Without these core members, AJ wouldn't exist. Even the 'new' guys to the guild have not only helped the guild progress, but reinforced what AJ is all about... Chris, Wendy, Matthew and Carl... You guys rock.
So anyway... There's a lot I have to be thankful for in real life, but also the virtual world. I love you all!

This is my moment.
Instead of singing the 'Friday' song; I thought I'd treat you to another Rebecca Black song... Enjoy.
Hope everyone had a good week. I got back from my trip, and my inlays will be here tomorrow so I'll be pretty much indisposed until after Thanksgiving. I talked to Josh a bit, and we are still hoping we have enough interest to raid. I also know I mentioned last raid, that maybe we should take an official break until after the Holidays.
Josh brought up a good point, and I didn't even think about it. The latest patch (4.3) will most likely be released in the next few weeks. How dare Blizzard release new content when we are all traveling and wrapping presents?!
Historically, we lose a few raiders during this time because they are too anxious to wait to beginning raiding. I don't want that to happen. So, we'll do whatever we can to keep the group together and progress. I will be gone the last two weeks of December with zero internet (my folks live in the sticks).
Anyway, have a great weekend everyone!!!
