Print this out and get your daubers ready for tomorrow night’s run:
Karazhan Bingo Card.

What am I saying? Those things never happen to the Vees.

Edited to add Voivod’s brilliant Vees-remix:

With the new people joining the Ceevees lately I figured I should add some slots to our ventrilo server.  So the Server will now handle up to 25 people at a time.  I am hoping that this will hold us over until we start runing some 25 man content.

Nothing else has changed with the vent server and all your setting should remain the same.  If you have any questions or problems please ask Vicerunner, Veebat or Vitorio in game for help.

Visholiste posted his warrior-specific “shopping list” to help you figure out what to get and from where. Go check it out!

I’ve upgraded the forum to phpBB version 3.0 which means it looks and functions differently.

Got any druthers about how it should look and what forum topics should be there?

My vague and undeveloped ideas:

• Raiding with the Vees – what mods we “require”, what moods we require and where to sign up
• Meetups – virtual or offline, I think we should have regular guild meet-ups
• Update our cool website links. I know Vitorio has been using warcrafter.net and wowreputationcalculator.com. What else is out there?
• Pruning the unused and not useful forums. We don’t need the instance-specific forums, right?

Let me know! PM me through the forum or email vizzini at this website.

Did anyone else see this on the Blizzard site?

Ok I have been playing with Wow webstats here is my first attempt at a report.

Kara Report

Ok everyone I have the new raid calendar up and running at http://www.consumatevees.net/phpraid/

Once you get on the site, click the Register link and create an account.  If possbile use your main characters name so I can keep track of who is who.  If may take me a day or two to get your names authorized as it has to be done manual.  If you want it faster poke Vice in game and remind him.

Once you have your account you need to go into the Profile menu and create your characters so that you can create and sign up for raids and instance runs.

If you have questions please contact Vice and he will answer you.

I keep getting requests for information on Group Calendar and how to setup the add-on once its installed. So here it is if you have any problems you can message me in game or send email to Vicerunner@gmail.com

The Group Calendar add-on allows the Vees to plan instance and raid runs in advance and for people to sign up before the event starts. There are however a few things that need to be done on your copy of the game before this can happen.

As this post is getting rather long I will post a How to use group calendar in another post so not to bore too many people to death.

First you must download the addon from a trusted site. Here is a link to the site I use. Remember you must update this add-on after each patch, it can take a a week or two for the add-on to get updated after a patch.

Curse Gaming – Group Calendar -

Once you have downloaded the file you need to extract the file from the archive. With windows you can do this with a right click on the file and select “extract all” from the menu. This will unpack the archive so that you can install it.

To install the add-on you need to copy the directory and all its contents to the addon folder in your WoW installation. To do this find your World of Warcraft addons folder.

For Windows this folder is normaly under C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns

Once you have copied the file there you then need to start World of Warcraft. To access the calendar you need to click on the Clock icon on your mini map. (See the screen shoot below)

To be able to access the Ceevees event you will need to be able to check a few settings to make sure they are correct. This is not difficult and will only take a few seconds.

Click the setup tab on the bottom of the group calendar window. You will be present with the setup tab. Ensure that your settings match the picture below and you will be able to access and post new events in the calendar.

These setting are

Configuration: Automatic

The Box Use Guild data channel must be checked.

Just a few notes on the setup tab and its importance.

On this tab you can see the green text. This text will be green or red telling you the status of the data channel that is in use. When the add-on starts it will try and find the guild data channel and connect to it. This connection can take around 5 minutes to complete and you may not get all the events in system for this time. If at any time you think that you are not getting or sending data you should check this tab to see what the status of the channel is.

If the button labeled Disconnect says Connect this means that you, for some reason, have been disconnected from the data channel and you should click this button to reconnect to the system to send and receive events in the calendar.
