Optional raid night, going after Cho'gall. Starting at 8 pm.

Its optional, so you don't have to come, but would be nice to kill him this week and we got SO close Sunday night (wiped with him at 15k health. Ouch!). Sign up if you can make it.

FYI, I'm going to drop cauldrons tonight and we'll have free repairs.

going to attempt to make it, but its on 2:30 and im already exhausted. might have to sleep, or end up just leaving early after a few attempts.

Not planning on making it a long night, I like having Mondays off too. If everyone shows up he should be dead by 8:30; not doing anything else.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Turns out, Sobie's expected completion time of 8:30 was too conservative. 8:26 by my clock.

Nuh uh, I said by 8:30, not at. I was technically correct. Like saying we will get another Magmaw kill by 2012.

Semantic'd.

I didn't say you were wrong, just that you were too conservative. You could have cut your time expectation by a full 13% (assuming an 8 pm start, which also isn't accurate as we started a bit later) and we still would have hit the mark.

Either way, after the struggles of the last few days, capping the week by one-shotting Cho'gall was friggin sweet. Who knew that tanking ole' two-heads 20 feet farther back was the difference between repeated wipes and a one-shot? That and Blizz continues its campaign of hate on melee dps.

Better to make nebulous claims that you can back up / backpedal out of in case things don't go to plan.

Oh, I've been around the financial services industry long enough to be a big fan of weasel words.

You never say "Stock X is going to go up". You say "We feel good about Stock X's sector's upside potential relative to the broader market over the short-to-medium term." That way, the stock can do virtually anything over almost any period of time and as long as its entire industry doesn't go bankrupt immediately it can at least be argued that you were right. And even if the worst does happen, it wasn't "me" making the claim it was some nebulous "us", meaning you can go blame those idiots in the research department for misleading you.

And make sure your snake-oil sales contract stipulates you still get paid if you're slightly less correct (never wrong!) and you get a massive chunk of the profits in your bonus if you're more correct.

Post-modern robin hood steals from the rich and gives to himself. Madoff in the hizzowse.

Its almost like you've done this before, Sobe!
