<Con Brio> enjoys a casual floating from time-to-time. (NOTE: Forming a heart took about the same time as learning the boss did.)




Having 25 female dwarves in the raid guarantees us boss kills.




I could come up with tons of witty phrases here, but healing trees on camels pretty much describes our guild better than anything I can do.



Who is <Con Brio>, you ask? Well, let me explain it to you:

<Con Brio> does many things as a group. First off, we fish:





Secondly, we fight bosses that attack us with giant swirling purple globs:





Additionally, we like to say hi to people while not in our human form:





We're more than that, though. Every guild likes saying "Oh hey, we like to have fun while raiding. We don't scream and belittle people. We have a good time raiding and still manage to kill bosses. Go us!" <Con Brio> actually does that. Well, mostly. We're all guilty of a little bit of belittling now and then....








Okay, so it's not all about raiding. Though some of our members know just the right thing to say to me after a wipe:





Sometimes our members (including me) are guilty of not acting like gentlemen in front of cross-server pugs:





But in the end, we know how to be nice to one another (/wink)











Hot girl love right there on that last one.


We even come up with good ideas:









At the end of the day, though, we have something to fall back on - embarrassing Mehks aka Blaire:







Sometimes, our guild can be mistaken for being functionally retarded. Other times, we may be the meanest people on the planet. But at the end of each raiding week we are able to look back and know that we had a (mostly) enjoyable time. We're coming together as a raid team and as a guild more and more each week. This week, the week that we got the majority of our guild "Defender of a Shattered World" - was definitely the highest point for our guild for this expansion. As we approach our three-year anniversary (two months away!) we are able to smile and know that this won't be the last time we are feeling this good.

Hey you. Yeah, you. The one who's not in this guild, and is on our forums, checkin' us out. You hear we're recruiting? Yeah, I know. Everybody is. So instead of directing you to our stickies (which I hope you'll read when you apply, of course), I'm going to make you a post that will compel you to apply to us. Not to one of those other guilds. They don't bathe, anyhow.

No, we want you to want us. Always, we want to be with you. And we'll live in harmony, harmony, oh love.



Ahem. Sorry. As I was saying, we want you to join our awesome guild (assuming you're also awesome), so let me tell you a little bit about us. My name's Criss (and if you call me Arie, I'll fucking rip your throat out), and I created this guild a long time ago. Actually, we'll be three years old in April.



I created this guild because I didn't believe a guild full of colorful personalities and good progression on a minimal schedule were mutually exclusive concepts. I wanted a place where there wasn't much turnover and the people were all close-knit and not annoying.

I succeeded at the colorful personality part. Want a taste? Soundboards, we have TWO! [One] and [two].

Unfortunately, I failed at the annoying part.



This is Teddy. He's our emo deaf mage. He likes girls, clothes, posting pictures of himself, dps meters, and whining. But we still love him. (And he's going to KILL me when he sees this!)





















We also have a girl channel where we mostly complain about Teddy and shaving our legs.





That's Linda. She doesn't say much, but when she does, it's usually vulgar.





In general, though, we're pretty perverted.









...it's sexual, believe me.



















Oh wait, that's not sexual. That's just an angry Vietnamese priest.

We're sometimes mean and very politically incorrect.







This is Axe. He's been with us since day one. He took a bit of a break but came back today, so I'm adding in these wonderful old screenshots of him.











Sometimes, when we kill bosses, we even draw comics.





Sometimes, we watch each other get naked on webcam. Actually, just Flance.

I also made some comics a long time ago. You should look at them because they're funnier than anything in this thread so far. Except maybe the Flance YTMND. Maybe.

Oh, and soundboards. We had those.

If you're still not sold, be sure to read all of our stickies and even the applications to get a better sense of us.

Now go apply.

I'll get right to the meat and potatoes of it. Our official raid schedule starts January 4th. We decided to get our feet wet, though, and took two entire pulls to take down Halfus Wyrmbreaker. Picture proof:








(Yes, we still love our heart-filled guild crest.)

Additionally, we fielded a 10-man team that has taken down six bosses, which is one short of SEVAHN. Apologies that Ragic, our resident New Zealander..ite..man, was unable to voice the word SEVAHN for this post. However, Jyves will be happy to know that he can make our screenshots more flavorful all on his own:
