Team Pink is there! Over Thursday and Tuesday (yesterday), they did their second complete clear of Karazhan with minimal fuss and bother. Total time across the two runs was about 5 hours. Their next task is to whittle away the time spent on trash mobs so that they're completing the whole lot in 3.5 to 4 hours. Good luck with that, Team Pink!

The 2.29 version of GEM has been released with some interesting "features", some of which look more useful than others. From a user point of view, one of the potentially interesting features is the removal of the "throttle" that made GEM so slow to update. You might recall this was added when Blizzard suddenly changed guild and private channels (which is what we use for GEM) to have a limit on how many messages could be sent to the channel over a certain period of time, which caused GEM to start losing information. If this is no longer necessary, GEM updates on the channel should be much faster. This is certainly my hope!

PROGRESS REPORT for Team Green (with orange spots)

1st Kara Raid (Thursday 31st January 2008)
Was a great try, we managed to get Attumen down easily enough. Moroes was a bit of a pain, after a good try several times, we decided to call it. As this was the 1st attempt as a newly grouped set of people, it went well. Some times there was sum hesitation involved on what targets belonged to who and which order they were ment to die, but im sure this will come with practice as a new raid group.

2nd KARA Raid (Monday 4th February 2008)
(Continued run from 31st jan '08 with Attumen downed then) Straight in on Moroes. Moroes downed after a warm
up, followed by the Maiden We then proceded swiftly onwards to the nights opera event.. Wizard of OZ. After some discussion on tactics, we had a warm up battle to practice positioning n kill order. Outcome? WIZARD OF OZ cleared!! we well done all n gratz on slayin 3 bosses on 2nd run!

3rd Kara Raid (Thursday 7th February 2008)
Fresh new Karazhan. Attumen, Moroes and opera event (R&J) all attempted and defeated. Maiden was attempted,
but not downed as far as i recall... <Could this be ammended on the Team Green(with orange spots) Raid progress please> Team Green progressing fast each week Good result all!!

4th Kara Raid (Monday 11th February 2008)
(Cont raid from 7th Feb '08) Kara seemed spookily quiet to start as most mobs and 3 bosses slain the
previous visit, we proceed onto the trash mobs Towards the Maiden. After 2 tries she was down!! Well done all. Following the mobs onwards we made our way to the Curator. After tactical discussion and several attempts later, the Curator refused to fall. With a bit more tactical tweaking we will defeat him next time!

So far, Team Green (with orange spots) has made sum great progress in the 2 weeks it has been running. Since starting team Green YOG's hav welcomed many fellow THB members (and also recruited newly proposed
applicants.. Cursed Crusaders)to join and with help from these hav made these runs possible. Many thnx ALL!
