I will not be leading a 25-man run into Ulduar this week; instead I'm going to take a 10-man into the place and start working on learning the other two Keeper fights (Thorim & Mimiron) and possibly visiting General Vezax.

Sign-up in-game if you're interested in going;  I'll build a balanced raid group out of those who sign-up.  I can only take 9 people with me, so obviously signing-up is not a guarantee of a raid slot, however not signing up IS a guarantee of NOT getting a spot.

(If there are enough people online and ready at 8:15pm on Tuesday, I'll lead a fast Flame Leviathan 25-man (which we can do even if we only have like 17-18 people available) for free lewtz, then disband the run to re-assemble the 10-man.) 

If someone else wants to organize and lead another 10-man foray into Ulduar (or Naxx, or whatever) - that's great!  Please do.

We will be resetting all EP/GP at the end of this week and starting again with new numbers. After this we will not reset it again. This is to start fresh from the 'trial' period as stated. The numbers after we restart this coming Tuesday will be the permanent numbers. We still might tweak awards after this point, but the numbers themselves will stick.

Setup:

Starting EP / Minimum EP : 1,000

Starting GP : 100

Starting PR : 10

Weekly Decay : 20%

EP Awards :

(Intended for Guild Runs of 20+ Members for 25 mans, or 8+ members for 10 mans)

Recurring EP while raiding: 25 points / 15 minutes
(Recurring EP gained by both those in the raid, and those who signed up, but were unable to get a spot in the raid. They must remain online to continue recieving the EP, and remain in the raid. They can log out and remain in the raid, and be on an alt, and their main can recieve points, but they cannot leave the raid. Also they must be able to step in at a moments notice. Logging out or not stepping in, forfeits the EP. Showing up late garners no recurring EP for being on standby.)

We want to keep the list of required addons as slim as possible. 
If you feel something should be added to, or removed from, this list please post in the discussion thread below.

These add-ons are not optional. 

If you are not running them, the raid leader may, at his/her discretion, remove you from the raid group.

Omen3 - Managing threat is a "skill" that will be (re)introduced in the Ulduar raids (no more lolZOMGAOE!!1!2 the instant the tank pulls)

Bigwigs BossMods or DeadlyBossMods - Boss Timers and whatnot help keep the raid alive.  Either one will do, different people prefer different ones.

Welcome. In an attempt to get a bit more organized, while not going all psycho raid team, we've decided to create this space in the forums to better organize our raid efforts. All Natural Order members are welcome to raid, and we will continue our regular guild loot and other rules in place.

This is not an attempt to turn Natural Order into a "lolsrzraiding" guild - we're not forcing the entirety of the guild membership to go "hardcore" here.  Rather, we're trying to get those of us who do want to raid ORGANIZED so we can raid better, smarter, and more frequently.  No one will be kicked out of Natural Order because they're unable to raid, or just plain not interested in it.

This forum and the posts within are primarily get everyone on the same page. This is a group effort, and demands just that. Group effort, as well as respect and communication. For this reason we are going to be asking of everyone who wishes to raid with us the following:
