We finally brought him down. It was an excruciating 220 attempts, but it’s finally over, so that’s a relief. I think everyone realizes it should have died 100 attempts sooner, but we just couldn’t get our act together this tier. Ah well, the reset button’s not far away.

I would just like to congratulate our competition, Insomnia, for successfully trumping us and snagging a kill before we could. You were the better men this time around, and you deserved it. And a belated congrats to Ropetown for handily beating us this tier as well.

Lastly, so long to all those guilds who perished or are in the midst of crumbling to the Firelord: Adept, Tsunami, Juggernaut, Tupan Techno, dozens of Euro guilds, VANQUISH… 10-man LOL!

After delaying his own acquisition of a legendary by two weeks due to sheer incompetence (“What? You have to do a quest?”), and almost costing us an additional week by dying on Ragnaros tonight, he finally managed to get his hands on the prize. Congratulations, Fuze!

And let this be a lesson to the rest of you GMs out there: Never give your oranges to immigrants, even if they claim to have experience in gathering them. WoW is not an equal opportunity environment.

In other news, we’re still working on heroic Ragnaros. Tonight concluded our first week of actual progression, but we made great strides in the right direction. I feel like getting to phase three after only a few dozen pulls is a significant accomplishment, and I hope for continued progress each and every time we face him.

El Guapo out.

This website is only 8 months overdue. As you can see, it is fully Cataclysm-centric. I hope you all enjoy it for 4.3, because after that I will have to revamp it again for the Mists of Pandaria.

Thanks for all your tears along the way. They sustained me and kept me going through all the hard times when I wanted nothing more than to quit. In the end, though, your ceaseless whining and feeble jeers enabled me to persevere in finding someone more talented than I to complete our website.
