7:30PM UK SAT & Sun 20-21/3/10

[Raedwulf]

Things you should know other than the usual stuff below the line:

Important Note: Day one of this raid is SATURDAY 20th, not Thursday 18th! I doubt we'll be doing HM on Dirk this time.

That's the preamble. Read the rest of the spiel below if you're not familiar with it, and sign-up or not as you please!

======

Rule No.1 - I don't do "first come, first served." I hope that's sufficiently clear for everyone.

The effective minimum for BG is 85 equipment raidance plus DP hope, but that won't be enough either if you're 20+ behind others of the same class - we need effectives, not crippled-by-dreads! ;) Beyond that I always try to give people a chance every so often, even if they're a bit behind on rad, so be patient, and your turn will come (and I will roster 2 raids if we get the numbers). Please state your current radiance total when putting your name down. Failure to sign-up properly isn't going to make anyone think you're an asset!

If you are selected, please ensure you are

* On time!
* Properly traited
* Properly kitted out (i.e. your Rad armour is on your alt, not in the bank!)
* In possession of adequate quantities of food & scrolls & +5 / Level 75 pots (hope or otherwise).
* Familiar with the Teamspeak Guide (http://www.raidsrus.com/forum/showthread.php?t=802) & any other relevant Guides (regardless of how out-of-date they are - there is still useful info in them).

Fail on any of the points above (especially the first) and you WILL be penalised.

Name in normal - signed up; name in bold - selected; name in italics - reserve; name in strikethrough - cancel / no-show (stuff in brackets is an aide de memoire for me, nothing more). If you need to withdraw, please confirm absence as soon as you can.

Success
Boots - Dairos

[Siegbert]

Huh... can't guarantee for Saturday evenings.

Nevermind... Siegbert (120) for Sunday as a reserve.

[Tevra]

Available both dates, but only have enough radiance to play CHM as per sig.

[Oderid]

oderid 130 rad champ both dates

[Dairos]

Dairos, minstrel, 125 radiance. Available both days.

[Giladren]

update : i might have another action ...

[Tiermond]

I do believe nothing has been planned for me this weekend so count me in for both days, Tiermond Burglar 115 rad.

[Cirgil]

Danin (Champion - 130 Radiance) would like to participate.

[Rhyaehar]

Tentative, might be on a birthday on either day. Both my sister and my boss are born on the 20th of March..

[skelsamu]

(2 from 17;)) both days not available.
good luck to those who are going.

[Ecg]

My champ would like to have my first look at this raid and join for the saturday run. Can't come on sunday due to work. Im at 120 rad at the moment, but I can barter coins to end up with 135 radiance in case its needed.

[shieldwall101]

Pantheleon - Hunter (120 Radiance) available both days.

[Holy_Rage]

Available for Saturday with Anjya (Minstrel, radiance 90).

[Hirion]

Same as last week that I'm available both days, with all my troops at your disposal.

Preference should the scales of selection find themselves even enough to allow for such:

Hunter (115)
Captain (135)
Warden (100) or Lore-master (95)
Minstrel (120) or Burglar (115)

[Rhyaehar]

Tentative

Not available. Neither is Sil.

[Anaeth]

Ariabereth CPT preferred
Anaeth LRM

[Raedwulf]

good luck to those who are going.

At the moment, no-one will be. No main tanks, only one LM/RK, one Minstrel under-radded, too many Champions, and one short anyway...

You know what I'm like - if we've 12 we'll go Saturday night at least, & see what happens. If we do... Ecg - what you do with your coins is up to you, but 125 is better than 120, and 135 is better than 125 (because of the way radiance rounds, 125 & 130 are identical). Anjya - you still have a couple of days before we go to run the instances; 105 ideally is the minimum for this place, but even 95 instead of 90 will make a difference.

Better yet, let's have some more sign-ups & give me the chance to balance the raid a bit better!

[Hirion]

So should I start working a bit on my warden's radiance then? :D

[Daphne]

Well ... in reversal of last week I could come on Sunday this time, but not on Saturday.
If I can help fill any empty slot - RK (125), LM (115) or Guardian (120) available.

[Raedwulf]

So should I start working a bit on my warden's radiance then? :D

No, because then I'm down a CPT. For tanks I can just get 2 CHM to go blue-line. They're just not quite as good.

[Eiyja]

I wish the raids were a bit earlier.. or that I lived in New York lol
Eiyja can come both days but out after 2130UK.
sig is updated.

[BSili IronMight]

BSili IronMight - Guardian - 125 Radiance Max

[Hirion]

Raedwulf, my father's at hospital. Nothing life-threatening, but requiring immediate surgery nonetheless. He's at hospital literally around the corner from me, though otherwise living across the country.

It's all been in a bit of a rush, so I am not sure when he is out of surgery, when visiting hours will be after that, how long they'll keep him in hospital (though it's urgent now it is usually a procedure that they can discharge people from already the day after), whether he'll be returned by ambulance or whether I can drive him home - In which case I'll stay with him for some days.

In short I don't know for sure if I'll be around Saturday/Sunday - I'll keep you updated.

[Raedwulf]

No problem & best wishes, sir!

[Daphne]

Oh hope your father gets well soon then and its nothing too bad!

I am also sort of affected by illness ... as poor Joerg&Kuni (get well soon too guys!) coming down with something means our planned roleplaying session tomorrow has to be canceled ..

... which in turn means I'd be free both days now if you still have any spots to fill - RK (130 rad), LM (115 rad) or guardian (125 rad) available.

[thrandul]

Thrandul, 115 rad, hnt, signing up for both days


edit: gotta pull back the sign up for saturday, or very unsure about that at the moment
but still up for sunday night raid.

[Hirion]

Just got back from the hospital and I'll have to cancel my participation - will be going away for a few days helping my dad through post-op.

Might check in on you lads through the forum, but I'll not be coming ingame.

[Raedwulf]

Roster is up. Oderid - trait blue line, please, you're MT2. Might stop you nicking aggro when you shouldn't & dying quite so rapidly... ;)

[Minimus]

Minimus 65 Grd (120 Rad) available Sat & Sun

[Raedwulf]

Bit late, Mini. Try next time... ;)

[Raedwulf]

Reasonably successful. I dropped on Oderid from a great height (i.e. made him lead, just as I did to Tari earlier). He made a few mistakes, naturally, but on the whole did rather well (as did Tari in DN). The raid, with a new leader (mostly) & 2 or 3 new members negotiated the gauntlet, and downed Dirk (EM) at the second attempt. Tomorrow, we'll run the second gauntlet & try to nail the second bosses. If (it's a big "if"!) we manage it, we will push on for another crack at The Cloak... ;)

[Ecg]

Tomorrow I expect to have the same group, Joerg on Evelynn, Ecg on the minstrel of debatable pronunciation... ;)


Yeh, I think your pronounciation was flawless, but your post seems to indicate, that you expect me to join with my minstrel on sunday. However, as I mentioned in my signup post, I won't be able to play tomorrow night. Instead I will have a little bit of real life work. Just posting this to make sure you know you won't see me on the second part of this raid. Good luck to you all tomorrow!

[Oderid]

Yeah on 1 hand I must thank you for that was very enjoyable and i have noted some of my short comings would like some feedback from yourself and the rest of the group as well though as I would like to improve in future. on the other hand well lets just say I think these boards would shut down at the profanity I would use. But thank you for giving me the opportunity and living up to your forum tag.

[Raedwulf]

Argh. Fair enough Ecg. That's me being knackered, slightly sozzled, and not paying attention when updating the thread! I expect to have something like last night's group. I'll work summat out... ;)

Oh, and Od - something will be forthcoming...

[Fanna]

If you're a healer/Twin tank short I'm available (didn't think I'd be but work was lighter than expected).

[Fanna]

I checked a couple of times but never got a reply so guessed I didn't get in. Just looked at the first page and saw that you had adjusted the roster to put me in. A short message would have been nice so I would have noticed it ;)

Hope you downed the twins!

Fanna

[Raedwulf]

Nope. We didn't do badly, but didn't win tonight. I did actually tell you were on duty in game... Unfortunately about 10s after you logged! No worries, it happens like that sometimes. It was all a bit ad-hoc today anyway, what with total no-shows & all the rest of it.

[Fanna]

I did actually tell you were on duty in game... Unfortunately about 10s after you logged!

Lol, the one time I hit exit now instead of wait for the logout session to finish eh? :roll:
