So, at this point we've done awesomely with clearing Naxx and now we have an option to go to Malygos later if we so desire. That said, I do have some questions. I'm not going to put up a proper vote yet on this, but how do folks feel about moving the Thursday raid night to Wednesday?

Additionally, do we want to revisit our current loot strategy and see if we have ways to improve it or even scrap it altogether for something new?

Finally, do we want to rename 9-man to something else? If so, I'm already voting for EVIL BALLS. :)

Comments encouraged below, voting will happen after I get responses (I figure about a week).

-I am fine with Wednesday.

-Loot should favor regulars over subs, whether it's via a karma system or something more easily maintained (Regulars' Need rolls trump subs unless it's offspec? Regulars get more than one Need when not rolling against other regulars? Regulars can bribe the lootmaster?). Karma is kind of complicated for a 10man, but gearing up the raid benefits the raid while gearing up Some Dude doesn't.

-Raid name should mention pudding.

Simple in a 10man always seems to work best. Need/Greed or a Simple Ladder has worked well in the 10mans I've been in. I might suggest just modifying your N/G system as D&C has where only reserved members can Need on items. Subs and new members still have a good chance at items and it keeps the most desired items with your core group (which in turn strengthens your raid) until they all have what they need.

I like this.

As for the name: I agree with the inclusion of pudding, considering the history we have with it.

Also, Wednesdays are fine with me.

I would be available after 9 on wednesdays

The loot syatem Cal mentioned has worked well for D&C and using the ingame need/greed system to distribute loot speeds things up drastically... only the sharder neeed remain behind to grab items not bid on.

Wednesdays are good for me, and the reserved-only need sounds like a good way to do it as well.

And yes, pudding. MCA Blood Pudding?

Granted, that's not the type of pudding conducive to wrestling......

I'm good with wendsdays. Its actually the only day during the week im available so i would be able to come twice a week again.

New loot rules sound good to me. Would help us progress faster.

As far as the name I always liked tapioca pudding, but not sure if its the best for wrestling...

Vat of Pudding.

Anyways, another thing to consider is when we go pay a visit to Malygos. 2 of us have quests ready to go, with one more coming up this Sunday. Should we drop OS the week we decide and tear through Naxx and use the rest of raid time Sunday for it?
