About Apple Jacks Guild
Posted by Beldwain on Mon Feb 18, 2008 03:28:03 (930 reads)
About Apple Jacks Name
Applejacks is a strong alcoholic beverage produced from apples, originating from the American colonial period. It is made by concentrating hard cider, either by the traditional method of freeze distillation, or by true evaporative distillation. The term "applejack" derives from "jacking", a term for freeze distillation.
Applejacks may also refer to a cocktail made with apple liqueur and Jack Daniels whiskey.
Around 1760, George Washington discovered this unique beverage, asked for and received the Laird family recipe and soon introduced Applejack to the Virginia Colony.
With one of our founding fathers being part of this story I know that your not going to disrespect us by saying something about a breakfast cereal known as Apple Jacks.
I know there will be a lot of flak about this name and cereals, but besides the above reason for this name choice, Almitra who is our co-founder has been on this server (Thunderlord) for a long time and has a huge respect "thing" for the founder of "The Mediocre Men", Apple Mask. So with respect to what they have built from the ground up we are in the same pursuit with a name that reflects our respect for the top ranked guild on Thunderlord. As well, Juelz who teamed with Apple Mask to make one of the best arena teams ever. There is a lot of respect for those two players. Thanks Apple Mask and Juelz for being an inspiration.

Guild : Welcome to WoW 3.10
Posted by Beldwain on Tue Apr 14, 2009 14:46:19 (112 reads)
As the title suggests we will now be going to 3.1 and to Ulduar. I hope this is a big relief for everyone and I expect that we will see more players online then we have in the past weeks. The raids are going to change, the times are changing too. While we don't have anything set in stone yet, Ulduar 25 will take the place of Naxx 25 on Wednesday. Tuesday will remain as a random raid day and 10 man Ulduar late night. Saturday will become 10 Ulduar as well and the reset is up to you to run on your own. Good luck and study those boss guides. Apr 18th is the last scheduled EoE 10 man so if you have signed up for that one you will get to raid EoE.

Yesterday we had a ground shattering meeting that will change the way we raid from now on. I really appreciate the time everyone took to show up to the meeting and hear me out. I know we probably didn't get to all the questions but if you have any please post them in the guilds forums.
The slide show that represents the bulk of the changes has been uploaded and a link placed in the forums. If you missed the meeting please review it ASAP.
Remember, you need to signup, showup ontime, and do this with a purpose.

Guild : New Years Eve Antics!
Posted by Beldwain on Thu Jan 01, 2009 18:20:26 (151 reads)
Despite the fact that a large chunk of our guild were out toasting to the new year, the large pack of AJ'ers that were available didn't sit idle. After successfully warming up with several 40 man old world raids we grouped in some extras to our already large raid and truly gained 40 players. Once that happened we were on a nonstop killing spree to all the major horde cities.
At Thrall's den of deceit we executed a perfect downing but no achievement was made. That didn't diminish our hopes so off to Undercity, where there was no stopping us, boss 2 down with a successful achievement. That raised our spirits and we took off for the Bloodelfs monarch who was shredded like tissue, by the way, we used their holiday gnome making machine to become holiday gnomes to raid the city.
Finally, on to Thunderbluff, taking down the king their we needed to make a go at Thrall one more time. Since we had rolled through every city so quickly we made it back before he spawned(btw if anyone wants to know it took him 2 hours and 15 minutes to spawn). We turned the hut into an alliance hut and enjoyed the continues flow of the horde that provided us with entertainment while we waited. Just as we began to feel like we were going to be cheated out of the full achievement, bingo someone yells, "THRALL HAS SPAWNED!". We cut through him like a hot knife through butter.
Nowadays since Blizz has created the achievement system there are sometimes bugs but not many. The point is we did kill Thrall twice and we all know it was still red and not gray to us all in the raid. So, we still don't know what happened there with Thrall. The folks that stayed the length all received the achievement "For The Alliance!" and a nice Black Bear through the mail.
Gratz to everyone who made the numerous achievements with us on this wonderful new years celibration!
While I know we don't need screen shots anymore to prove that what I say happened, I still take them, just in more fun ways. So, see here, we have stopped the city streets with a AJ Black Bear patrol.

Guild : Happy New Year! Raiding Officially Kicking Off!
Posted by Beldwain on Mon Dec 29, 2008 21:27:05 (150 reads)
Raid Signups are now being posted for official runs.
We are expecting overflow signups for the 10 man raids and hope that everyone understands that you will be judged by the Raid Leader for you gear level. Lots of people message me for the raids, to see if they can get in, this is not my decision(unless I'm the RL). I will leave that in the hands of the RL's. You maybe rejected, so what, you didn't get in on this one because your gear is gimp. It's alright, it may take time, but you will get in if you keep working for badge/heroic/crafted gear. That is the bottom line you must make sure you know where to get those things, try http://www.wow-loot.com. Also, I can make the spell power cape [Wispcloak] for you if you provide the mats. Other can make weapons, armor, and gems. Above all, do not expect to go on raids if you don't have enchantes on your armor. There are numberous ways to get the best enchantes, rep rewards, guildies, or AH, however you do it doesn't matter, just do it.
If your feeling left out of the fun of the guild or game for no good reason, then check yourself a couple ways before quiting the game, /gquiting, or complaining:
-Have I put forth an effort to be noticed as needing a run in guild chat?
-Have I farmed for this in and outside the guild?
-Do I know what I need to get and how to get it?
-Have I put a group together to farm for badges?
-Do I ever ask for help from anyone in the guild?
-Do I talk about issues to the write people?
-Have I ever used the LFG function to get into a run/raid?
-Have I ever logged onto vent and asked for help?
-Have I put together a group that can accomplish the instance?
I don't care if you have a mic or not, neither do the ppl on vent, if you goto a channel where they are just talking, not running some instance or raid, than you should be able to get an answer. You can talk in whispers to the people ingame and they will talk to you in vent.
With that said, if you say no to any one of these questions above, (btw - the list is a very long one, not included here) then you may want to get started working on making them into a "yes" for each. There are all kinds of explainations as to what makes these questions important, but the key is to get involved.

Apple Jacks Has #1 (Rating by Level Value) Guild
Posted by Beldwain on Sat Sep 27, 2008 18:59:50 (81 reads)
Okay, this isn't really that big of news but it's a nice to know. According to the server polls through www.warcraftrelms.com, Apple Jacks is the #1 Guild on our server on the Alliance side. What this means is that we have finally beat out Vex who has been the long time standing guild.
Census Link on WarCraftRelms.com
This makes me very happy, like a giddy teen who is thinking about his first...
We have the rules and structure that make this guild work well for a such a diverse amount of people.
The members, everyone of you, make this possible.
So, with this and the changes of WoW about to come, we are sitting in a very well aligned position. We can be as good if not better than all the rest.

Raiding Vacation Over
Posted by Beldwain on Tue Jul 29, 2008 04:40:51 (65 reads)
AJ Raiders, your vacation is over, it's time to hunker down and prepare for your A game.
After downing our first boss in SSC we decided that 7 months without a break had been long enough.
The ten friggen commandments of AJ Raiding:
1. Signup if you expect to go (it also gives you priority)
2. If you sign up and it's a raid that needs you and your gear level then you will most likely go.
3. DO NOT throw a fit for not getting to go on a raid, if you do, then take your shit to a new guild, if you want to talk about it, the SaA's and the GM's will talk, G-chat is not the place for it.
4. If you are missed during the invites then you were not making your presence known ( don't be an AFK'er or in a group ) ( we warn about 30 minutes before the raid is formed )
5. Don't talk about your girlfriends or boyfriends problem with your foot odor during boss fights! (keep vent clear)(use your main toon name in vent too)
6. Show up on time doesn't mean, at my bank checking for enchant mats, it means be at the summon stone. ( if you need stuff for the raid, Officers, SaA, and GM's will assist in gathering stuff from the Raiding tab of the Guild Bank.)
7. Do show up with: updated addons, consumables, regents, and REPAIR MONEY!!
8. Don't complain about your repair bill, STFU, we all have one, this isn't gay ass PVP
9. If you think that were about to hand you gear and your not raiding lower instances to get the EP, your just going to have to wait until others have geared up.
10. If you don't know the AJ Rules, then STFU during raids and go back to our Guild Rules, Section V, better yet, go there now GUILD RULES. Know how EPGP works FTW!!
That's it, have fun, kill bosses or die trying!!!!!!!!
