Congratulations to Khaila! I hear that he bribes people, but he's never paid me a dull copper. I suspect the bribes aren't doing it for him, but instead it's his willingness to stay up to ungodly hours raiding with us, sending people items quietly and thoughtfully, and stocking the gbank full of end game cut gems. Among other things, I think the real reason K walks away with the fame this month is due to Raid Kitty. We all love us a good kitty on vent.

Grats K, and thanks for all you do for all of us.

First off we'd like to welcome our three newest members to the guild.

• Rozalynne, Holy Paladin.  Rumor has it she also has a warlock who we can sacrifice er invite to the guild also.
• Tenushath, Stabbity Stab Rogue.  Someone told me he can cook, but until a plate of bistec ranchero lands on my desk, he's minus 50 DKP.
• Ryoji, Shadow Priest.  Ryo's hobbies include snorkling, spooning, and /moaning at Savi.  (I think he's faking it).

Welcome one and all to our merry little band of scrubs!

Secondly we've updated and revised our raiding rules for folks.  New and old members should check it out.

Thirdly we've headed into ICC where were we can be found grinding our rep out like Gnome strippers on a pole and where we're making progress against our brick wall that is Saurfang Jr.

Remember read the new 2010 Raid Rules, start thinking about your vote for guild mate of the month, and stay out of the mothereffing fire. 

See you in game!

Savi

That got the ladies attention!

I'd like to congratulate Vekai in securing a win for Guild Mate of the Month for December. It was a close race, but his willingness to help out everyone whenever he was needed pushed the vote in his favour, and now he walks proud on both a death knight and warrior. Grats to you Vek!

New method to ensure you sign up for a raid spot and it records your time you signed up accurately: click the 'confirm' check mark saying you know for sure you will be there.

What this will do is put you in the raid before someone who signs up but didn't confirm. So - if you'd like to be in the queue, still please put a note in the message field, and do NOT click the confirmed. If you sign up and want to go for sure, you MUST click confirmed. We will still be subject to moving people around if needed, but this should hopefully make things slightly easier on your raid leader(s).

The Trinity Council would like to express warm wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy holiday season. Our game brings together people from different countries and belief systems; our North American holiday season may not be celebrated by you, but please accept our wishes for good tidings all the same.

Merry Christmas Trinity Council - what a great family we have found in each other.

After much delay and postponing, at long last we announce the winners of the prestigious and glorious award (as voted by you!) of the guild mates of the month.

October saw Savi graciously accepting his spot on the winners podium. All his hard work in organizing raids, explaining strats, helping with recruitment and various other work he puts into the guild net him public recognition for October. Congrats Savi!

November completed in a timely fashion (with my thanks to everyone for getting in votes). We congratulate Mortizyn as he walks away the proud card-carrying member of the GoTM club. When he's available you can be sure that he'll open up his endless bag of goodies and share them with everyone in the guild. Always a solid team player, we are happy to see Morti receive his own recognition for his good deeds.

Grats to you both!

Our very own pretty boy, Solunne, took the plunge into a life of marriage. Congrats and warmest wishes to you and Mrs. Solunne. Remember, the two key ingredients to a long and happy marriage are a good sense of humour and a short memory. May you have many happy years ahead!

I'm a slacker! In my haste to prepare for 6 days of sun and drink in Jamaica I forgot to get the votes for Guild Mate of the Month for September. You can either a) talk Savi into doing it while I'm gone, or b) send me in game mail or pm me on the website with your vote while I relax and vacation, and I'll tally the votes when I get back.

Enjoy the cold weather suckers.
