Guild philosophies:
1: Success doesn't have to mean spending your entire life in the game.
2: EC is not meant to be a world/server-first guild (although we do love pouring salt in wounds when we do get something first !)
3: We're adults. We use adult language. Some adult language is offensive yet we still use it.
4: We believe a small, reliable team of adaptable players is preferable to a large group.
The basics
Raid schedule: 8-11 p.m. EST/EDT (server time) Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Tuesday is optional (non-mythic) and open to alts or mains still looking for gear. Wednesday and Thursday are progression and we expect 85% attendance.
We require a minimum of gold proving grounds in the role you want to perform. It's not exactly raiding, but it is a good minimum standard to weed out the bottom. (And more importantly you don't waste our time while you attempt it!)
Don't be disrespectful of other people's time. At 8:00 you're outside the raid zone with all consumables in hand. You're ready immediately after our five minute break each night. You're ready within 2-3 minutes of a wipe release.

The year of ICC
December 9 2009: First wing cleared. I don't care if wow progress failed to track our Saurfang kill properly, it was on Dec 9.
February 18 2010: Blood wing cleared
March 3 2010: Plague wing cleared
We happened to recruit a player who had been carried to a LK kill (this became apparent fairly quickly) and took advantage of the opportunity to get started on the easier fights before finishing normal mode. The dates on wow progress are all messed up, maybe because of this. Our Sindragosa kill is listed as occuring at a later date than our LK kill for example.
March 25 2010 : Heroic Gunship
April 1st 2010: Heroic Lord Marrowgar
April 5 2010: Normal mode Lich King
April 9 2010: Heroic Rotface

We then proceeded to sell a full ICC run for 800 000 gold and wiped on HLK until Cataclysm. We made 4 Shadowmournes in the process.
