	Still plowing!
	Machin Shin has been incredibly busy these days, keeping all of Tier 3 and 4 SoD locked out, including killing mobs that are not meant to be killed... Pushing ourselves further on raids, beating our own records in both DPS and time spent on each event... Getting mass loots all around and apparently making our zerkers VERY happy... Refining our leet strats even further... Keeping our voluntary offday raids going strong... And especially abusing, I mean grouping, our applicants. So with all of these raids, do we ever get a chance to just kick back and relax?? Why, yes we do! If you were to walk into our guild hall, you might find us throwing various objects, dangerous or otherwise, at each other. You might also find some members sharing WAY too much information. Mercenaries have the potential for endless entertainment. Of course, Machin Shin would not be Machin Shin if we never pulled pranks on our guild leader. But, at the end of a long raid day, you will find us reveling in our successes and enjoying our cake. Machin Shin is currently seeking two clerics, two wizards, one bard, one berserker, and one rogue. If you have what it takes, apply!

	We need YOU!
	We are now seeking CLERICS! Only YOU can prevent Ronaks death. Also, we need more WIZARDS to port him random places after raids! If you want to know more about what MS has been up to, see below!

	Farms, Farms, Farms
	I have been waiting for an excuse to update this. Seriously. Well now I have one. It is my pleasure to announce that Machin Shin has cleared all of Discord Tower... in one day! What, you may ask, is MS doing besides plowing SoD content like there is no tomorrow? Planting clovers... Setting off fireworks... Throwing costume parties... Feeding the birds... (Resti kindly offered to let them have her fleas.) And generally basking in our victories! (And dripping blood on the floor...) We even plowed in the one day absence of our guild leader: The struggles of raiding still get to us now and then. Our offday voluntary raids are still going fantastically! Some members of MS have found themselves with just a bit too much free time. (Fortunately, our new schedule might help that!) Some members have begun to think about the deeper things in life, without new raids to keep us busy. We have spent a lot of time pondering the ways of SOE, as well. Also, we discovered that there are in fact aliens among us. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Only this is like the 941st time... and the 942nd time. (By the way... shameless plug here... if you are a WIZARD considering joining MS, just think of how much fun you could have porting Ronak to random zones!)

	The End
	Here is a peek of what you will find in this update: That is right. We have finished Seeds of Destruction. We completed all of Discord Tower in only seven days. During all of this, we never forgot the truly important things in life: Many members of the guild made sacrifices to finish the expansion over Valentines weekend: Event 5: Sacrifice Event 5.5: Trash and more trash Event 6: Overlord Muram (Due to technical difficulties, the following picture may or may not be representative) Event 7: Edge of Destruction The end result? Also, Bartlesen would like to let everyone know that the cake is NOT a lie! And finally, a glimpse into MS life!

	Fifty Seven Point One Four
	I came to this update prepared to describe how, with 3 events down, we were pretty much halfway done, in spite of the math - nobody anticipated Tower event 4 to give us more difficulty than the contents of Ronaks overfull diaper. But with a trash clear that was harder than the event, here we are, at a truly sexy 57.14% completion level of Tower. Dayum. Ahh. Looking good. Time for a nice retrospective, a breath before the plunge of finishing the expansion, am I right? I will admit - it was taxing on some members sanity. Some people took strong measures to prepare themselves. Some people came up with whatever excuse they could to dip out on the tedium of trash. Luckily the overall ease allowed us to focus on the more stressing things in life. But they didnt know about The Sacred Oath we had taken. Most did not. Its simple really.
