...additionally, Onia slacks off on posting about it.
Yes folks, much has happened since last this front page was updated. Pallies lost some members due to various reasons, including law school, the armed forces, burn-out, old age, swine flu, dysentery, and a tragic hit-and-run incident. Fortunately, we gained four new members through our highly strategic recruitment process.* So, welcome aboard Gebbeth, Wendy, Vespers, and Shocknawe!
With our ranks once again filled, Pallies set out to resume doing what they do best: no, not extreme ironing, but rather, kicking ass in 10-man hard modes. Bravely, we ventured forth to prove ourselves in the Trial of the Grand Crusader. We endured many challenges there, not the least of which was Tirion Fordring’s cold indifference to our peril and general lack of compassion for our repeated failures. Also, the warrior/ret pally combo is totally unfair.
After a few weeks of what Fordring apathetically regarded as "valiant attempts," we finally defeated Anub'arak last Monday, October 12th. Sadly, I was not present for this raid due to a number of factors, most of which involve my continued struggles with alcoholism. Additionally, nobody bothered to take a screenshot of the victory, but here's what I imagined it being like:
Congratulations to Hughheifer, who won some sort of bitchin' hammer, and whoever else won awesome stuff!
*strategy largely centered around bribery and peer pressure

From 
to 
It took us a while and several wrong turns before we came to a strategy that worked for us. Great job everyone! Now, we need to get ourselves a fire truck!

"650 px." That was the the only instruction I received regarding the creation of the website screenshots. So, after 4 hours of figuring out how to use GIMP, matching the image sizes and text locations, comparing about n! fonts, and a redo when the original screenshot was missing Fil, I finally got our last two screenshots done. You know, I think they look pretty legit! Wednesday, we knocked out Yogg-Saron again, only this time with the help of just Thorim. Mimiron's red button and Algalon...we're coming for you! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to gouge my burning eyes out.

While Onia is away on vacation, I'll be posting our accomplishments. I don't have her talent for humorous writing so I won't try. Yesterday, we faced off against the metallic monstrosity with its 4 towers and came away victorious! Next up, One Light in the Darkness.

 When we first read the requirements for Vezax's hard mode, we all shared the same dubious sentiment:
"LOL WUT?"
Luckily, we here in Pallies share a mental illness in which we lack the sense to avoid doing something simply because it's seemingly impossible. In fact, the more impossible a task seems, the more compelled we feel to accomplish it. We like to rationalize our collective problem by calling it "perseverance."
Well folks, tonight our stupidity perseverance paid off. Despite the numerous obstacles we encountered--Aginar's splitting headache, Onia's 45-minute respec to discipline, Suzkin's urinal fury, Rambone's drinking problem--we managed to defeat General Vezax on hard mode. They* laughed at us. They* said it couldn't be done. But who's laughing NOW, suckers?
Also, it's pretty screwed up to laugh at people with mental problems THE DRIVE TO SUCCEED. Jerks.

 When I woke up this morning, still wearing shoes and vaguely reeking of beer, I commenced my normal morning routine of checking my e-mail while brushing my teeth (laptops are awesome). As I was eliminating the last remnants of my Memorial Day barbeque with Cool Mint Listerine, I noticed an e-mail in my inbox entitled "Freya 3e," which contained screenshots of some Pallies standing around in a forest like jerks (SEE ABOVE). The body of this e-mail simply read: "here you go." I did about 35 seconds of detective work, after which I deduced that this was my guildmates' subtle way of requesting a front page update to announce completion of the Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood achievement. Given that I was neither sober nor present for the raid, and thus entirely unqualified to write about it, the best I can offer you is a half-assed guess at what may have taken place, that I wrote in about a minute and a half. Here is a summary of what probably happened: [Raid Leader] [Aginar]: okay guys, we're going to try freiya 3e [Raid] [Mythrandir]: omg wutz freiya?? [Raid Leader] [Aginar]: freya, whatever, spelling boss names correctly is lame Aginar has initiated a readycheck. [Raid Leader] [Aginar]: ok everyone's ready, let's go [Raid] [Suzkin]: wait, hang on guys, i have to pee [Raid] [Earthshaker]: didn't you just pee 4 minutes ago? (several hours later...) Freya down after SOME UNSPECIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME, NOBODY TELLS ME ANYTHING. [Raid] [Hughheifer]: sweet! [Raid] [Ox]: awesome job! [Raid] [Mythrandir]: can i go to bed now? [Raid] [Suzkin]: one sec on loot, have to pee again Congratulations to all who attended! Now to cure this hangover with more beer.
