To the depths, so say we all! by Dakharn - 5.5.2009
We at the Ministry of Flowers & Warlocks are happy to announce that Uldaman, sorry, Ulduar has been cleared, well almost. Seems that Jerry Bruckheimers special effects supervisor Algalon still floats free, but we ain't in a hurry.
After Mimirons toys got dismantled 27.4 (a fight that I personally enjoy very much) we ventured deeper to the depths of Ulduar looking for the Holy Loot, and some refreshments for the Hockey Championships. Even though the stench of the depths started to disturb our faint minded, one of our members smiled like a fat kid in McDonalds. To explain things, that particular member so happens to enjoy anime and other weird japanese shit... "Look at the size of that tentacle!! It's an arm and a spike in the same time?!?! Wow-wee!!" *giggling*, really sums it up. And so General Vezax performed harakiri 3.5.
Yogg-Saron the Old God of death tried to distract us by dividing our attention between the raid and the ongoing hockeymatch of Finland versus Canada. But even still after about 4 hours of training the big snot collapsed and revealed some loots in a very satisfying way. Good encounter but his brother C'thun was better.
Maybe it's time to try the Hard Modes now? Who knows.

The loot was a lie by qeath - 21.4.2009
We are still here, though our Office of Propaganda and Disinformation has been quiet way too long. Those to blaim have been punished. Severely. Or that's what O.P.D. told us.
Since Wrath of the Lich King arrived at last november, <tontut> have been busy idling at mail boxes and disconnecting at crucial moments.
Although we didn't make to server first level 80 characters, we did manage to get two Server First Grand Master Professions to guild, congratulations to engineer Qeath and tailor Kaotika!
Eleven days of intense leveling and less fun waiting for rest to catch up, we got our first 25man raids rolling and Sartharion fell 24.11.
Naxxramas was cleared by 30.11. and Malygos was finished 8.12.
Bored with lootfest-farming we turned our attention to PvE-achievements and after hours of trial and error we did Gotta Go! before nerf and with it our first set of Glory of the Hero 12.12.
After mastering heroics it was again all about raiding. Sartharion with all its minions interfering was mastered on 19.1.2009.
Infamous luck of <tontut> affects us still. Neverending weeks of disconnects during Thaddius, bugging Gluths or pure idiocy in Sapphiron we never did manage getting the Immortal, talk about RNG in dps, how about achievments...
Still we did managed way better in 10man version and first glorious tonttu-raiders got their mounts 11.3.
And about lootfest, we did farm over 1000 items from 25man Tier7-content for some kind of use with only main-characters. Add alts and such...
Ulduar was indeed needed variety for raiding.
On the first night of Ulduar we cleared "first" three bosses: Flame Leviathan, Razorscale and XT-002 Deconstructor.
Second night was "good old Ravencrash" and insane lag after They restarted a perferctly working server in the middle of raid.
Still we got Ignis the Furnace Master down finishing Siege of Ulduar
the Assembly of Iron and Kologarn in mysterious halls and invisible slopes of Ulduar.
On the third night server worked for our wonder and we finished The Antechamber of Ulduar with the Crazy Cat Lady Auriaya.
Rest of the night gave us even more fun and progress in form of Freya and Hodir.
Also the cache of Freya gave us the first piece of puzzle for the legendary mace Val'anyr - Hammer of the Ancient Kings, grats to Talia and good luck getting rest of pieces!
Yog-Sothoth, The Lurker at the Threshold, The Key and the Gate, The Beyond One, Opener of the Way, The All-in-One and the One-in-All waits us!
Umm..
Sorry, different illusion.
Yogg'Saron waits!

Echoes of Doom.. ehm Rumbles of Zerg by qeath - 26.10.2008
So, they nerfed it, everything. First reset after Echoes... Rumbles of Zerg -patch <tontut> literally rushed through Sunwell Plateau. Overall it was a great experience, every boss before the last was some way teaching and hinting for the finale.
"Do not hug your friends while you are burning!"
Neither Brutallus nor Felmyst showed any real threat. And because now even one shamen is enough for raid, Eredar Twins were quick to follow after people learned to hump the pillar. Yeah, that might be hard.
Mu'ru a.k.a. Entropius then. Quite a stopper for many guilds progressing pre-patch. After some tries with fancy tactics and special duties for everyone, we decided to just zerg in and burn it down.
Yeah, I lost the original kill-posing-shot, but the amount of strategy needed to get that one, or me running up to the room and sacrificing Blueberry. It's quite even.
The Deciever, Kil'jaeden
Once again Blizzard did save the best for last. If not the best fight in game it is close. Awesome event, still requiring some skill from the raid (No, moving away from fire is not cheating! ). And well, we didn't have those months to farm rest of Sunwell, so our gear was quite a bit lower level. Hectic moments indeed at later phases of the fight.
Nice solarium after eventful night. Probably next rush is to sauna, not forgetting excess amounts of beer and vodka.
Until Wrath of the Welfare Loot King then, hopefully there will be atleast some comptetition PvE wise.

<tontut> is a 100% Finnish guild that plays mainly with a PvE focus.
Although the name might suggest otherwise, playing a gnome isn't a must.
It's the right attitude that counts.
