DRAMA
- Ninja Alert: Mage Easycheesy on Underbog need rolled on two Oblivion set pieces (with a Warlock in the party) and then split.
- Guild Feud: Just like the Hatfields and the McCoys, or the Montagues and the Capulets (am I going over your heads with these references), apparently there is a long standing feud between Banished Elites and Conta Mariens on the Anvilmar server. Can't we all just get along? Wait, this is war? Oh, no, I guess we can't.
- The GM of Crimson Blades on Terenas, we're told, is kicking players below level 40 "for no reason at all." Maybe he's just not down with having the lower levels around? Have you guys ever heard of a guild that said "get up or get out"?
- The Alliance Defense Force on Jubei'Thos is going through some drama: a few of their core members and officers up and /gquit over differences between a few people who also happen to be RL friends. in the meantime, the other members of the guild have set up a social guild called V O L A T I L E, I guess as a place to hang out without the drama. Good thing, too: we're told Melzie, a guild superstar, is about to "drop her bundle and become a mother." Pregnancy and guild drama, all at the same time. Good times!
- This tipster "never thought" he'd have a chance to appear in our Drama section, but now he has, so let this be a warning to you all! He logged in one day to find his guild, Vae Victus on Area 52, had disappeared! Now, he later talked to a guildie who said the guildleader and officers had disbanded the guild and merged with another one, taking the guild bank with them, but I prefer to believe there's been foul play afoot! Clearly, this guild was somehow kidnapped, and is probably being held in a back room somewhere in the jungles of Columbia. It happens! You too could have your guild be kidnapped by military rebels, thus allowing you to appear in GW's drama section-- so BEWARE!
- An anonymous tipster sends us a whole slew of inside info on the guild situation on Ravencrest: Necessary Evil has merged with Divinus, Crit Happens is having a "wipefest" with Gruul's Lair and taking on smaller guilds to help out on SSC (but only taking people from those guilds that they "deem worthy"), and here's the wackiest rumor: Ancient Legion is apparently bragging on the forums that they've downed Gruul and Magtheridon, when our tipster says they've only ever cleared High King Maulgar. Interesting.
- Another Ninja Alert: the rogue Takateru, formerly of Clan Moon Wolf on Gorefiend-A, apparently snuck into the guild's Kara instance up to the Chess Event and ganked all the gear for himself. Ouch-- and is it me, or does it seem like rogues ninja more than other classes? Maybe it's just RP for them?
- Clan Slamdance of Garona-H dropped about half of Kara this week: Huntsman through Wizard of Oz, all the way up to Chess event. As they say, FOR THE HORDE!
- Nameless of Executus-A dropped Magtheridon, even though he told them, "Away you mindless parasites! My blood is my own!" Yeah, you mindless parasites! Now, they're looking for some help in SSC if you're geared and interested.
- Scotch and Soda from Whisperwind has just been making the endgame their... well, they've just been doing really well. They've had two groups finish Kara and a third on the way through, and they've downed Gruul as well.
- The Silver Guard on Silver Hand-A dropped both Shade and Illhoof. Rock on!
- Silence on Vekil'nash-A killed Vashj for a server first. Sweet. Video here. Hey, you guys know about that MMMMONSTER KILL-kill-kill thing from Unreal Tourney, right? Wouldn't it be great if every time you killed a boss for a server first, a booming voice went SSSSSSERVER FIRST-first-first? Wouldn't it?
- Tag writes to tell us that Pieces of Eight on Perenolde-H dropped Aran, Illhoof, and the Prince last week, and just like me with my guild, he wasn't there to see it. Grats anyway, bud-- I feel your pain.
- Unfinished Tale (winner of this week's Best Guild Name and Most Awesome Photoshop award) on Blackhand-A is rolling through Kara as well-- they've made it through the Big Bad Wolf, and have put the Curator On Notice, Stephen Colbert style (see above-- thanks for sending that guys, so cool).
- Elysium of Suramar-A kilt Huntsman, Moroes, Maiden (hate her), and the Big Bad Wolf. Awesome!
- Burning Twilight of Feathermoon-A dropped Shade of Aran for the second week in a row. Nice job.
- Shadow Blade of Skywall is rolling Karazhan as well-- they've cleared through Shade. Well, their Team 2 has-- apparently their Team 1 is still working on Illhoof and Shade, while Team 2 has gotten the Prince to 52%.
- Outlaws Torn on Emerald Dream EU is recruiting all classes, especially priests and mages. Contact Rocknroll ingame for the deets.
- We said The Pride was recruiting last week, and this week they're still recruiting all manner of players, and they want you to know they're on the Bronzebeard server. Maybe next week they'll tell you what faction they're on. Ha! I keeeed!
- Something Awesome on Nazjatar-A is looking for all classes, but especially a tank and a shaman/pally healer.
- Illidan's Unemployed (server? faction?) just dropped the Prince, and are now looking for skilled Locks, Druids, Hunters, and Pallys.
- Pharcyde of Azgalor wants to fill out their first Kara group, so if your main is 61+ and guildless, they want to hear from you.
- Vanguards of Azeroth on Sargeras-A wants some healers, and they claim their healer spot is not cursed-- only one of them got hit by a drunk driver. I'm guessing that's like the Spinal Tap drummer gag, right?
- Your Mother's a Horde on Dunemaul-H is LFM for a fun and casual player guild (PvP sometimes, but not always).

Another guild note - Divine Valor of Malorne (Horde side) recently lost a large amount of members due to differences between them and the officers. I believe the new guild is called Retribution.

I'd hate to believe this, but it really looks like you nicked the image for this post from http://www.shipbrook.com/onnotice/. I've used their site several times (www.funpigs.com/mt) and I don't see anything on their site asking to be credited, but it seems like it would be the right thing to do. Also, if you go to my site and look at the image you'll see that when you create a pic, a tagline is a placed at the bottom right of the photo with the website's URL. Your image has been conspicuously cropped from the bottom to remove the reference. If this is whole thing is in fact true, and not just a part of my ambien fueled late nite Wow surfing....You should be ashamed and owe the folks at shipbrook and apology.
In my opinion this act, again if true, impunes the integrtity of the blog itself and most damningly Mike schramm

Yeah, before you damn me, the image was sent to the Guildwatch email address as an attachment by the person who sent us the Unfinished Tale tip, and I thought it had been created by them (hence my references to "most awesome photoshop" and "thanks for sending that"). I've never heard of the link you posted until you posted it.
The image was cropped for size, not specifically to edit out any URLs. But just to calm your ambien fueled nerves, Jim, I've gone ahead and included a link in the post to the Colbert board generator, as well as added a credit to the image. Hopefully that allays any damning impunities you want to place on my character.

Yeah, it's Contra Marines over on Anvilmar - A, and they're a bunch of ninja-ing, QQ-baby wimps. I transfered off their server because of them and a few other guilds and their drama, plus a few other things.
Oh, and the fact that the #1 guild on that server has still only done a small foray into SSC, and the #3 isn't finished with Kara yet.

gahh... what a shambles that Ravencrest server is in
How embarassing for Ancient Legion to be outed for *NOT* having cleared Gruul's lair but saying they did ... Juicy

@8 That happened on our server with some scrub guild claiming they downed Mag, even providing a photoshopped screenshot. Fairly amusing for about three minutes.

I'm sorry to point this out. None of the Oblivion set drops in Underbog. Perhaps you mean Shadow Labs?

Ok after re-reading the post I confess stupidity. Thought it said IN Underbog, not ON Underbog. Carry on Mike, Carry on.

"On Underbog" as in the server, not "in Underbod" as in the instance.
And it's Shadow LAB, not labs. Lab is short for labyrinth. No 's'.

Are you serious?

Ha cdb well the Montagues and the Capulets isn't too hard if you've ever taken high school English, but even I haven't heard about the Hatfields and the McCoys since I was a kid. I guess I didn't mean "over your heads" so much as I meant "off of your radar."
But if you know all about them, more power to you.

Gypsies of Azeroth on Argent Dawn (US) were slowly progressing through Kara. Last time, we got up to but not through Curator. This past weekend, however, we one-shotted Huntsman, the Maiden, and Moroes, cleared the Opera (Romulo & Julianne), the Curator, the Chess Event, and the Shade of Aran. We made two attempts at Illhoof as well, to get a feel for the fight.
It was a huge amount of new content in one weekend.

Not suprisisng to hear about a NINJA ON UNDERBOG, seems like only ten year olds and really immature pukes play on that server.

I don't blame the mage for rolling on oblivion... Our set sucks :( We should blame Blizzard for giving mages a terrible dungeon set instead.
