Congrats to Ashandier on his new Black Drake!
Special thanks go out to Waterbucket for piecing together the gear necessary to tank Sarth with his Voidwalker, and also to those who may not have been in the kill but helped us learn the encounter over the past few weeks.
Stay tuned for the 25-man version of this post, coming soon!

First we shall start with guild business! It is with great pride and pleasure that I announce, to all who are unaware, that Stink has stepped into the role of Captain of the Lawn Pirates vessel! His history with the guild and excellent game knowledge are both second to his dedication and caring for the guild, and I believe we are truly in good hands such as we were with Corvac, Tehehe and that brief period where All-State took over (we all saved on insurance!).
Secondly, I feel the need to note that Lawn Pirates MAY be interested in 1-2 recruits who are of the ranged DPS variety, and perhaps 1 non-paladin healer. We are happy with our roster right now, but are always on the lookout for high-quality players who have the capacity to become friendly adventurers!
NOW THE FUN STUFF! Moving on to guild achievements:
DAR BE SOME DEAD DARGONS DOWN DERE!!!
Much to my chagrin, we have not taken any screen shots of our recent slayings, but last Sunday LP heroically conquered Malygos as well as Sartharion with two drakes up! I could not be more proud of my fellow pirates than I am! Expect me to force the guild to take a screen shot for our soon-to-be-coming 3-drake kill. :)
Lastly, I would like to extend individual congratulations to our recent Undying run! Congrats to Amalea, Dorreen (Pourpre!), Gentso (Armania!), Vshley, Waterbucket, Latulla, Demonshred, Battmann, Stink and Ashandier (Lilfrosty!).

I'd love to give a brief recounting of LP's history, if I may. Shortly after the server opened, Front Lawn transferred over and met up with The Dread Pirates. The result was the birth of Lawn Pirates. We began in ZG, picked up steam through Molten Core, Blackwing Lair and Huhuran in AQ'40. When BC came out, there was new recruitment to be done, and we kept recruiting people who, while they fit into the friendly atmosphere that Lawn Pirates was founded upon, wanted to push progression content. This happened even more with Sunwell, and what was once a casual raiding guild was now the #2 alliance guild on the server.
Those achievements are amazing, and having been a part of them through Illidan, I truly will cherish all of those memories. But times change, and so has Lawn Pirates. Both from a casual raiding guild into a progression-oriented one, and now back to a more casual raiding guild.
Sadly, we have said goodbye to many guild members recently. Tehehe left us when Lich King came out, and a lot of the drive for progression left with him. Nobody had such a knack for leadership, a strength of personality, and a combination of fun-loving-Giggles-attitude with an ability to be awesome at raiding, as he did.
Since Giggles' departure, the portion of the guild wishing to remain a top-tier raiding guild has also parted ways. It is truly a sad day to have lost so many friends, but under the leadership of Merms in OTM, I know that they will truly prosper and succeed. We look forward to cheering them on in their achievements, and seeing Nice the dancing bear in many Ulduar kill screenshots.
Returning back to Lawn Pirates, we have had an exciting set of times since the changes. A new set of officers have stepped up to rebuild. Anneboleyn (aka Amalea), Dorreen (aka Pourpre), Moonbeartree (aka Tallfuze), Nyneve, Stink, Whysp and myself are all very eager to usher a return to the atmosphere that LP was created for: quality over quantity in membership, efficient raiding, and friendly adventuring!
There are so many new and old faces returning... I just want to take a moment to mention some of them. If I missed your name, well, this list is long and I have a head-cold! Please join me in welcoming back players of old: Nyneve, Mynallia, Pourpre (Dorreen), Wilean, Obito (Konishi), Essexx, Whysp, Tallfuze (Moonbeartree), Nitech, Armania (Gentso), Lilfrosty (Nazerin), Esoteric, Battmann, Auntylucy, Skaza, Rekker (Zerek), Silvervixen, and so many new faces that I won't even bother trying to name them all!
It was an honor playing with all of those who made Lawn Pirates a part of the amazing guild it was in The Burning Crusade. And it is a sincere pleasure joining old friends, and so many new friends, for Wrath of the Lich King!
Hip hip, Hoorah!
