Welcome to The Society
The Society is a level 25 PVE raiding guild that has raided together for almost 6 years. We are recruiting people who enjoy having fun and can focus when it's raid time. We currently raid twice a week (Thur/Sun), into the Dragon Soul (we're currently 8/8) and Firelands (we're currently 4/7, with Alysrazor targeted). We've cleared Tier 11 content (Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing Descent, and the Throne of the Four Winds!) We do not schedule raids for Tue or Wed nights. On raiding nights, we aim to start our raids at 8:30PM (sometimes 8:45) and run to about 11PM. We are a laid back guild full of working professions (for the most part that is; we have some college students) who understand that RL > WOW, yet still have a good time killing raid bosses.
Our recruiting status (by role) is as follows:
Roles:
Healers = recruiting (we have a pool of 3-4 healers)
Tanks = recruiting (we have a pool of 2 mostly-full-time and 2 part-time tanks)
Ranged DPS = limited (we have 3 in rotation with another 4 part-timers)
Melee DPS = limited (we have 2 full-time, with 2 part-time)

Box Cover Boss? Check!
Posted by Mordermi on Thursday, April 05, 2012 (15:12:10) (12 reads)
In rare form, The Society ended the Madness of Deathwing on Sunday, April 1st. No, that's not an April Fool's Day joke...we really did beat the guy on the expansion's box cover! Before the release date of the next expansion was even announced. It was a great effort that saw the guild beat Deathwing on the first night we faced him (and 4 pulls at that) thanks to great team focus (and a fair number of trips through the LFR Training Academy I'm sure).
Many thanks to Nephilum, Scottini, Sunstone, Iceshine (and her alter ego), Leucotios (in his schizophrenia, believing he is both dps and heals), Weylund (and his newfound alter ego), Kinkysap, Icedcoffee (and his alter ego), Apocalipsycl, Mordermi (and his alter ego), Ursa (in his many druid forms), Deathangel, and Jeroo (demonic form of Hep). Without this group's hard work and steady effort, we would still be banging our heads on the wall. Instead, we get to do a bit of farming and go clean up some loose ends (Mr. Ragnaros, we need to have lunch).
Congratulations to The Society with it's Pirates at heart and its principle production arm, We Make Dead Things, Inc! (Those with access can read more in the Trophy Case. Those without can just "read more" to see the Dead Boss Letter.)

Sometimes, the wipes are the best part!
Posted by Mordermi on Friday, February 24, 2012 (18:41:30) (49 reads)
Sometimes, the best moments in a guild aren't the successes (though don't get me wrong, victory is good!)...sometimes the best moments come in defeat. Take last night for example: there we were, facing Ultraxion having burned through the previous 4 bosses in about an hour and a half (inclduing break). This was our second set of attempts on him (our first couple pulls saw us get him to ~38%) and we were getting close to the end of our night. Being a good raid leader, Weylund offered folks an incentive to make our penultimate pull worthwhile.
Weylund: "If we get the boss below 30%, we'll have a roll off to let someone kick me from the guild!"
(If you know the backstory, hardly a week goes by when Wey isn't kicked from the guild...usually for some frivolous reason. He keeps track of the last time in his guild note, kind of like those safety signs in manufacturing plants, "Last time Wey was kicked from the guild: 4 days ago")
After much strategizing, we gave our best effort to date...an 8.5% wipe! Then the rolls started (golf rules...low roll wins) We realized that everyone but me, Wey, and Sunstone had rolled. There was no point in my rolling (I get to kick him all the time)...Wey was waiting to try and roll to save himself. Everyone started trying to convince Sunny to roll. FInally, we hit on the idea that she could roll for hubby (Leucotios) who was on travel to California and had been unable to raid. She consented...with the following result.

Welcome to the Dragon Soul!
Posted by Mordermi on Tuesday, December 06, 2011 (03:45:56) (76 reads)
Just a couple weeks ago, The Society resurrected its raiding and forayed into the Firelands again, taking care of four bosses before patch 4.3 dropped and gave us the Dragon Soul raid. Our first expedition into the Siege of Wyrmrest saw us defeating Morchok on our second pull! Sadly, in our excitement to pass out loot and our eagerness to move on, we forgot that basic snapshot of us dancing on the dead boss' corpse. Fortunately, one of our amateur...artists...provided his rendering of the scene to commemorate the event.
The debate rages on about whether his painkiller dose needs to be upped or lowered...see the Trophy Case to follow along.

Mass Resurrection Cast on The Society Raiding!
Posted by Mordermi on Friday, November 18, 2011 (16:30:47) (138 reads)
After a couple month haitus, The Society returned to raiding current content this week and brought down 3 Firelands Bosses! Shannox (aka, the bane of our existence in August), Beth'tilac (pictured), and Baleroc all died and were kind enough to pass out some loots. Next up: Lord Rhyolith and Alysrazor! Can our intrepid heroes beat a rock giant's kneecaps into submission? Can they drive him over volcanos? Can they handle multiple fire chickens leading up to the Ultimate Flaming Chicken of Doom? Tune in Sunday for the next installment of As The Society Raids!

Al'Akir is dead. Tier 11 content is complete!
Posted by Mordermi on Thursday, August 04, 2011 (19:55:09) (131 reads)
On August 1, 2011 we closed the books on Tier 11 content by returning to the Throne of the Four Winds and putting down the Lord of Air, Al'Akir. Sadly, this might be the one fight where we felt we'd missed the boat on something, since the post-nerf djinn had a much different (almost too easy) feel to him. The other end-cap bosses we beat post-nerf...it felt like you still had a flavor for how hard the fights were. This one...not so much. In any case, Cataclysm's first raiding tier is done. On to the Firelands!
See the Trophy Case for more details of the kill.

The Society rejects offer to join Twilight's Hammer cult!
Posted by Mordermi on Thursday, August 04, 2011 (15:51:17) (195 reads)
On July 19, 2011, The Society received an offer letter from a Mr. Cho'gall to join his Twilight's Hammer "Clan". After determining that this offer was not from a true clan, but rather a maniacal cult who wanted to destroy the world, we decided to reject the offer and issue a counterproposal instead...one that Cho'gall found he couldn't refuse.
See the Trophy Case for further details.

Fight Fire with Fire? Maybe Water works better...
Posted by Mordermi on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 (17:23:31) (161 reads)
Normally, we aren't one to ally with the Horde, but on July 1, 2011 we received word from a shaman of great power that you had corrupted the very elements for the Twilight's Hammer.
{/dream sequence fade here}
Thrall: "I sense a disturbance in the Force..."
Leucotios: "What? You're Ben Kenobi? I thought you were 'a shaman of great power'?"
Aggra: "Do not be insolent, little shaman!"
Leu: "Hey! Who you calling little? Why, I aughta..."
Thrall: "Peace! I meant a disturbance in the forces of nature..."
Leu: "oh, well, that's different then..."
Aggra: "Go'el, must we turn to these ruffians?"
Thrall: "We have not the time nor energy to spare. I restored the World Pillar. You freed me from the Elemental Bonds. We are life mates now regathering our strength...these will have to face the challenge in our place."
Aggra: "Very well, you have the right of it, Go'el."
Leu: "Uh, thanks....I think...

We needed a bigger boat...
Posted by Mordermi on Monday, July 25, 2011 (20:12:59) (280 reads)
While the site was down, we were still doing things. For instance, on June 23, 2011, we went fishing and look what we caught!
(ok, maybe not caught so much as bludgeoned to death while doing a fair amount of dying ourselves...)
See the Trophy Case for a more descriptive recounting of the event.

WE LIVE!
Posted by Mordermi on Monday, July 18, 2011 (19:58:54) (171 reads)
Seems the website thought it should be compressing the pages to send to our browsers, but compression hadn't actually been enabled...go figure. (My bet is the host made a server-side change and didn't tell us.)
In any case, we're back (hey, in truth we never left...we were just stealthed) and I'll be updating the site with our recent activity (like Dead Nef, Dead Ascendant Council, and Dead Whale Shark!) in the next day or so.
