There isn't a tremendous amount of order to the following posts. To be honest, there is so much raw data that I really didn't know what to choose. I will do my best to stick mostly to EF's posts about BloodSworn. Posting too much from another guild's site that they 'hacked' seems overly invasive to those guilds. I am posting one or two simply to substantiate my claims.
Shall we begin?
Allow me to start by addressing DeathlyMorg's lie about seeking Freya strat info assistance from a guild that is 'months behind'. It is pathetic, really. Can't they just google for info like I did? Unless you are there on the first day of the instance - there are a multitude of tips, reports, and videos for a boss. Even on the first day of Ulduar, we still had information to go of off from the PTR posts (some of it incorrect). It isn't difficult to search the free and open information on the web and compile your own collection of useful information.

I know, I know, Morg - you didn't read Corrosive's posts right? You didn't find anything useful if you did? Please tell me more. My all-time favorite one is "I can't update because I am capped."
"One thing that I notice with all the top guild forums that I've hacked....
"....compared to guilds like DnT/Adept/Disposed......""The leadership of this guild does a good job at research/strats/planning..." Really? Is hacking into other guild's private sites and copy and pasting THEIR information a 'good job'?

The info about the new instance was kind of confusing, so I wrote my own little synopsis. Guess EF was confused too.

http://ravenbrow.com/simple/index.php?topic=1396.0"When I findout what they're planning on I'll post here."And you have the audacity to get on the WoW forums and accuse us of being obsessed? It is a video game, ffs. Can't you just play your game and we play ours?
Copying and pasting the info for ToC boss normal mode. Cause these bosses are hard?

Lots of this stuff is stolen from Disposed. They are now disbanded, but they were a functioning guild back when Corrosive copied and pasted their tips.
I love this part,
"Ninja'd from BS, more so you guys know what they're doing rather than getting anything strat wise from them (doubt there's anything we don't already know)" Lol. And then he posts the whole healing info. Haha. No, of course, you don't need help Corro. That must be the reason you keep pasting things from us.

I am not even go to bother making fun of it. But you guys are laughing right?
http://ravenbrow.com/baloney/ourprogression.pngMore obsession from Corro on our progress and plans. For the record, EF went to kill Firefighter 10 on June 25th, one day after Corrosive made his post. BloodSworn downed it as planned on the 26th.
Sigh, Corro can't even report correctly. Just because we went to YOGG on 1 Tuesday, doesn't mean we switched to raiding 5 nights a week. Even if we did, so what? As it stand now you typically raid 6 hours more than we do/can. If we can squeeze in extra days for an attempt we deem worthwhile or if we are having so much fun or feel we are so close to something and we want to stay longer and play the game, SO WHAT?
Um, A) It is patch day, we went to Emalon first while people fixed their addons. B) We are still in the instance because after downing the boss in 4 attempts (yes, 1 more than the incredible Endless Fury), we decided to run multiple 10mans. C) Why the hell are you watching where we are playing?
You know, some of BloodSworn wondered what the hell Xeii was talking about when he posted about on the WoW forums about how we cheated/haxxed Thorim. Now I get it, Xeii gets his information from an idiot. Which makes one wonder who is the bigger idiot? Corrosive can't read WWS reports and he cant read and doesn't understand boss mechanics.
1) There are two widely recognized spots where 1-2 people can stand and not have to worry about the lighting charge from the walls. Check the map on our website or this much prettier one at
http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Thorimposition.jpg . Corro - the whole raid can't stand in these areas because of the Chain Lightning which increases in damage with each jump essentially one shotting the 3rd jump target. Again, please see
)
for information. So obviously, we didn't
"abuse the no lightning charge damage".2) We didn't take 8 healers. How stupid do you have to be to fail to realize that ALL priests are not healers? Hey, you have one of the top shadowpriests around, a Mr. Resist. Do you see him on your WWS stats and get confused as to his heals? Here is another tip, even Disc priests outfitted in pvp and frost resist gear MIGHT NOT BE HEALING. Maybe, just maybe those priests might be standing in Frost Zones mcing mobs to grab the 'Aura of Celerity' buff. There is an achievement for it, you know.
3) We didn't zerg the boss. But we did dps the hell out of him. 6 of our players came in as the highest ever recorded for their class for wowmeters online. Multiple mc's will do that for you. Viva la haste.
Anyways, you get the idea. I've spent time thinking about these guys and why they do the things they do. I tend to believe what one of the other GM's told me. I side with him in thinking that Corrosive didn't actually 'hack' the websites of these guilds rather he gained access thru the use of foolish guild members. Corro must be some manipulator to play these members and I doubt they would be so helpful if they were aware of Corro's thoughts about them. However, Corro spends alot of time in his posts bragging about his ability to steal and his 'leet hacking skills'. So if he isn't actually hacking but instead just entering under a guildie's user and password then why constantly tout his accomplishments to his own raid leaders and officers? Low self esteem?

I hope you found this little post informative if not entertaining. BloodSworn has moved to a newsite at
www.bloodsworn.org/forums where we fully expect Corrosive and the Endless Fury boys to follow. Corrosive made some boasts about shutting down our sites or screwing them up. Time will tell. This is the internet and none of us at BloodSworn are shaking in our boots.
As for me, I have my helpful ignore addons already loaded with plenty of space for the whispering level 1s.
