What a Week(notice the capital W)
There is not much to say other than a more successful week might be hard to come by again and how timely it was with our 6 year anniversary coming up at the same time.
This week really goes to show that dragons are the bad guys of this game and other stuff crumbles in comparison
But TEO with some help from the dark side killed bad guys and got epics in return.

Happy 6th Birthday, The Enigma Order!
It’s this simple, we are 6 years as a guild. And we’re really proud of the fact that not only do we exist, but we’re as strong a guild and community as we have ever been.
Read on to find out the various stuff that has happened during the anniversary.
Solving The Enigma: Creasehearst
When it came time to solve another enigma during our 6th anniversary celebration, I thought a full second who to interview. This guy has been a part of The Enigma Order since we started doing MC, and has been constantly active and an integral part of the community ever since he joined the guild. For many, still known as Rageoholic, the player behind the legendary deathknight Creasehearst tells us some equally legendary stories about watching Futurama, dressing up as birds and pizza-hungry tanks.
Read on for a truly fantastic interview, and head to the forum for the talkback!
The Enigma Order is 6 Years (In a week)
February 15th!
Ok, it’s a few days to go, but why not start now? And we’re hoping that within the week we’ll have killed Nefarian as part of the celebration. Fun fact: We killed Nefarian 40 one day before our first anniversary, and chances are good we’ll replicate that feat with Nefarian 25…
Starting already now, the guild comic returns in spectacular fashion with a daily update every day (doh) up until the 15th feb! So be sure to check our forum every day for the latest funny!

And here’s a teaser for the coming days:

Weekly Update
So blood, time, and running have been the theme this week much time as always spent on Nefarian
Raiding
Thursday: Clearing no big thing happening there, then Nefarian practise seeing a 10% wipe happen and the spirit was high after that. But nothing major happened after.
Sunday: Somehow it was like being back to progress raiding ToGC Anub’arak on Sunday the raid time was filled with dc’s and wipes, one 4% wipe but we could as well wipe in phase 1, this raid had very different wipes to offer. Made a short break to say hi to the Conclave but went right back to Nefarian practise after that
Wednesday is wipe day. 8% best try. Will Nefarian be our new Vaelastrazs, Anub’arak or C’Thun? Let’s not be negative here, we’re not replicating our fiasco in Ahn’Qiraj, but there’s no doubt Nefarian is a hard one.
Guild member Axc has kept track and listed the statistics over our wipes and the %. It’s not really a cheerful reading, but it shows progress if nothing else. http://enigmaorder.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=12850

Patch day paradise this week =D
This is what I heard: Rogues will be permanently stealthed, paladins are getting a well deserved dps nerf, and all night elves will continue to be fabulous. Fabulous!

Solving The Enigma: Lamia
This time in Solving The Enigma, we get to talk a bit with Lamia. A member since the first expansion, and like our last Enigma – a true shadow priest. She tells us about her obsession collection of pets, about joining The Enigma Order at a time when we didn’t really have guild friends in the guild, and how it is to be a girl among many guys.

TEO Weekly Update
Raiding
So a week of practise has come to an end which posed some setup problems with key people going away on vacation.
This ended up resulting in some reorganisation of the raiding(how often do you start with the end boss), so we could maximize Nefarian practise.
We extended our old lockout on Thursday so that we could hammer Nefarian some before some of our key members disappeared, a full night of practise ended up with TEO being driven back from BWD.
But still in good spirit only more determined to kill the dragon!
Rested the lockout on sunday and went on a epic hunt through BWD killing stuff without a major effort and ended up being able to do a few tries on Nefarian before calling it a night
Tuesdays raid started in ToFW and oneshoted conclave, then it was straight of to BWD.
The beginning of the raid was lacking in focus, bad attempts with mistakes being done which screwed us over.
After some tries we had a small rearrangement in how we handle the adds in p3 and something just seemed to click with 3 good tries at the end of the evening.
Even though we did not kill Nefarian we left the instance with a new insight and a strong resolve to kill him next reset!

Book of Obscure Remedies: The 5 Best Raids
A new list by Obscure is up. This time it’s the raid instances that gets the spotlight. Raiding is extremely important in World of Warcraft, and we all have our favorite instances. As usual, the list is really more about nostalgia and weird facts than about what is really best.
But these five are the best.
So what instances made the list? How important is the loot? Will AQ40 finally get the recognition it didn’t deserve? And how weird is it that two of the entries lie less than 100 yards from each other?

TEO Weekly Update
Raiding
So another week of raiding has gone by and BWD has taken a beat once again. Clearing everything up to Nefarian the first day relative easily, leaving the rest of the week for Nefarian practice.
Sundays raid we once again found ourself battling a dragon not willing to just roll over and ended up hitting phase three with about halfway to go on his health bar, setup wise screwing us some on the healer front but we’ll continue to push onward
Tuesday raid was good, and even though we didn’t clear it, Nefarian felt the wrath of The Enigma Order. He’s not sleeping well tonight, knowing we start at scratch tomorrow, shields polished, swords sharpened, mana pools filled. Things will definitely be interesting next reset!
The Twilight Cultists were stopped. Again.
Good stuff did how ever happen in a totally different instance, the 10man version of Twilight Bastion has been conquered by The Enigma Order poking the last eye ball on Cho’gall making him drop dead in front of us. Sadly no one bothered to take a picture, so you’ll just have to trust us.
So now it’s just wait and see what epic encounters we will find in this instance can on heroic mode and it’s new end boss.
