The Sexiest Sexists
Yo everyone. While we take this expansion off-season to prep ourselves for the fun, excitement, cash & prizes that surely awaits us in Secrets of Faydwer, we still manage to find ways to prove that Triality has the biggest balls in the playground. Just when you thought we were the sexiest, hardest, most cunning adventurers you’d ever lay your worthless eyes on, we go and reinforce our position as The Don Megas of EverQuest by slaying the infamous Lord Nagafen. Lord Nagafen? You read that right but let me sexplain.
We’re still living in endless frustration. Sony can’t seem to keep an instance of Solteris from crashing long enough for us to complete a single fucking raid. Despite this, we still manage to gather up a full raid of stone cold killers every night. So we have to find something to do. And when we find ourselves in that position, there’s always Shrouds.

Tear It Up All Night
Yo everyone. As you can see by the subtle banner above, we are recruiting Clerics. And, even though we play on a server that’s more unstable than Michael J. Fox on a unicycle, crashing nightly like a DC-10, we still manage to trump and dump on everyone else out there. So if you wanna be ridin’ dirtay, check out our application requirements and send a tell to Dalnoth or Orruar in-game before you apply.

We Are 138
Yo everyone. Just a brief update on our comings and goings right now. Front page updates will be sparse until we get a new expansion to pounce all over. On the plus side, we’ve gotten a John Deere™ sponsorship due to the amount of farming we’ve been doing in Solteris, the Throne of Ro.
But for right now, I present to you a gift,these two droidsa new Triality movie has been constructed showcasing our aforementioned activities in Solteris, the Throne of Ro.
The movie’s soundtrack is helped along by two bands this time: The original Scumdogs of the Universe GWAR & the merry-time mastermind Andrew WK. We hope you enjoy it.

A lot of people ask me all kinds of questions about what goes into these movies we put up on our site. So, I figured I’d share some infoz about the process. After all, sharing is caring.
I use Fraps to record everything. To get the variety of footage I need, recording usually starts immediately upon entering the zone for the first time and goes on every night until the video is rendered and uploaded. The more clips/source material I record and have to work with, then the less ‘repetitive’ the movie will feel, which is difficult when you’re limited to a single zone as the movie’s subject. That’s why as much variety in the recorded clips is critical. As an example, pre-processed/sorted/cropped source material (just the raw clips I recorded) for the Solteris movie resulted in nearly 1,000 video clips, totaling nearly 30GB of data:
Before A lot of those clips are really cool moments that I capture but the majority are just junk; ranging from people just standing around to me waiting for an NPCs to run through an animation and they aren’t behaving to me around to me just accidentally hitting the record button and so on…The idea is to capture something cool and interesting sort of by chance. If you try and make you’re source material ‘cool’ it’ll come out looking staged and boring. I think so anyway. The I open each clip in VirtualDub and comb through them one by one, frame by frame (no exaggeration) in order to condense it down to just the clips I feel will work best in the movie. That whittles the first batch of clips down by about half, but the storage size increases dramatically because of the increased quality and the compression change of the converted clips. Compare this image to the image shown above:
After After exporting each clip from VirtualDub and saving them in .avi format, I bring them into Adobe Premiere. Within Premiere, I break them all down into proper categories to make it easier for me to know what I’m grabbing and it really makes it a whole lot easier to mix up the video. Also, this really makes it easier to make sure every landscape, event, NPC, boss, etc. makes it into the movie. Again – variety is crucial! The source material ends up categorized and looking something like this:
Categories within Adobe Premiere After that, I send it out to my team of expert Korean sweatshop animators to put together into the final product. Did I say sweatshops? I meant happyshops. At the happyshops, I’ve heard it’s just a matter of assembling the clips in Premiere over the music in a way that mixes up the visual content and hits those musical cues. Export the final product to a .wmv or whatever format makes you happy and share it with the rest of the world, hoping they like it more than you do because I promise you’ll be sick of your own creation at this point!

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot…
Yo everyone. If my clock is right, it’s update:30 on this Hangover Sunday. So, down some Alka-Seltzer™ and keep your Bud mud ass off the toilet for 10 seconds: it’s time for a front page update.
Last time you came by here, we were taking turns riding Commodus, Solar Construct like a mechanical bull through Solteris, the Throne of Ro. We had just finished Event 6, The Final Portal, and we were salivating for the chance at an omnipotent threesome with Two Gods: Mayong Mistmoore and Solusek Ro. We made those dreams a reality and, post-coitus, we did what any gentleman would do: bundled them up, threw them in the trunk and found a nice comfortable ravine for them to go to sleepy-time in.
Get in the fuckin‘ trunk.
Loot
A Transformed Ring of Power
Stone of Dark Tidings
Dark Runed Belt
Cloak of Solteris
Blade of Pure Light
I feel like a broken record sometimes. It’s pretty exhausting to come here after we we beat each event, usually before anyone else, and bitch. Bitch because the events aren’t working, bitch because loot sucks or bitch because these events haven’t been tested or tuned. Like in the case of Two Gods, the shit wasn’t beatable by any ways possible for a while. I could come here, write some hi-lar-ious commentary about how Two Gods was a gayer experience than Liberace teabagging a ball-gagged unicorn that’s shitting rainbow sherbet into an even gayer unicorns mouth, but why bother? It’s not funny anymore. I mean it is if you really picture that unicorn thing but ya, it’s tiresome by now. Show some effort into getting this shit worked out and working proper before you have throngs of people wasting weeks upon weeks, losing to your expansions for no actual reason. Also, give Nodyin a raise and some hookers. He’s the sole reason we aren’t at your gates with pitchforks and torches firebombing your faces.
I want to congratulate this here group of marauders that we call Triality on another remarkable victory. With this one now in the books, we become the 1st guild in all of EverQuest to conquer The Buried Sea. What’s that now? Two 1st place finishes in a row? We’re putting the nasty in dynasty. I hope the other guilds don’t get too upset being below us. At least you get to look up Kela’s miniskirt but be warned: her big, swinging e-penis is twice the size of yours.
Well that will do it for this edition. Between now and the imminent slaughter of the next expansion, you can check back here for our Solteris raid video which is in the works. Until then, don’t let your meat loaf, kid.

The Blood Is Black And Hot
Yo everyone. I think we’ll start this update off with a little Show & Tell. There is nothing like a group activity to help us get to know each other a little bit better. And what is TrialityGuild.com if not a place to nurture sharing, caring and understanding:
So, what is that? In addition to the inspiring quote from one of the greatest assassins to ever live, that scrap of paper indicates the amount of times Commodus, Solar Construct and his roving band of solar-twinks smashed our crotch-kiwis into oblivion.
There are 54 marks on that piece of paper. Fifty. Four. To put that into perspective, we wiped to Overlord Mata Muram 22 times before finally capturing and delivering him to Jabba the Hutt and that was considered excessive. By the 22nd time, we were ready to throw our hands in the airand wave them like we just don’t careand just accept that Mata Muram had our number.Going into the 6th event of Solteris, The Final Portal, the word on the street was nobody would be able to beat this event for at least 6 months. I don’t know what data went into that estimation, this is just what we were told by the powers that be. Now, if you know anything about us, you know we’re not going to sit on our asses waiting 6 months, doing nothing. So we did the only thing we could do at that point: throw ourselves into the jaws of an ‘unbeatable’ event enough times until we figured out a way to make it beatable.
It took us less than a month.
Click above for the full YTMND experience. Because last night we went into Solteris, the Throne of Ro, walked up to Commodus and ate his lunch right out from under his fat fucking face, shanked him in the neck and threw him into the trunk of our ’64. With our gangsta lean in tact, we hit the three wheel motion and dumped his ass in the Quincy quarries. After trying and dying 53 times, it felt amazing to see this event finally defeated. We were so horny after the kill, we could have impregnated a slab of granite. True story.
One more event to go…
Updated on Jun 27, 2007: Thanks Zajeer & Merloc

Crush Our Battle Opponent’s Balls
Yo everyone. This front page update may or may not be a few days past due. But that’s OK, friends, because we are here to announce something mega.
We are officially the 1st guild to beat everyone in defeating Solteris, the Throne of Ro.
As our previous front page update noted, we had beaten the first two events in Solteris. And as you will soon read, we have now beaten the next three amazing encounters, bringing us to a grand total of five. At this point, you’re probably thinking, “There are seven events, dickhead. How can you claim you’re the 1st to beat an expansion when you haven’t even finished it yet. What happens if you get too cocky and some other awesome, younger, more handsome and well hung guild beats you to the end boss and
fuckskills it, you self-righteous, egotistical, sore-losing douche bag[s]?”Well, as you very well know: that doesn’t matter. We have progressed further and faster than any other guild through this zone and if we get beaten by someone to the end, that just means we lost only two of the seven events to them, still beating them by five. Leaving us as the BEST OVERALL Solteris raiders this side of the Mason-Dixon. And really that’s all that matters. You and your logic will never be able to pry this twisted view of accomplishment from my cold, dying, irrelevant hands. Now, if you would excuse me, it’s almost bedtime and I need to do my stretches or I’ll never be able to auto-fellate while giving myself a round of applause.
15 clerics lol nice…
Now that we’re all caught up on the logistics of what makes a winner in this world, let’s take a look at these three amazing events I had mentioned we recently beat.
First off is my personal favorite, Stalwart Defenders. This event requires you to crack this golem a real onesy-twosey across his smug little chin. But don’t get too over anxious there, Sugar Ray Rodney King, or you’re gonna be hauled into the big house by the Solteris Riot Squad. We posted bail and collected out loot.
Loot
Blessing of Shifting Smoke
Fiery Dirk of Sacrifice
Firekissed Hoop of the Titan
Pulsating Beacon of Fire
Great Axe of Twink Flames
Next event, just over the bridge, is The Captured Portal spearheaded by Astire, the Lunar Eclipse. This fight is just a ‘lil gem of heaven. We dispatched our boys in at the 4th Precinct to put the muscle on this fella.
Finally, we have the Portal to Dreadspire being guarded by the hermaphroditic spider Irrissa the Seer. An epic battle. So unbelievably epic, I forgot to get a screenshot so here’s a shot of the aftermath.
And that’s really it for now. More to come, more to come. So check back for the epic conclusion of Solteris, the Throne of Ro.
Tool of the Month

Bad Guys Wear Black
Yo everyone. We took some time away from finding new and inventive ways of beating daily-modified Solteris raids to put together another video. This is just a ‘lil 44 second video with a teaser of Solteris, the Throne of Ro but mainly a tribute to all the folks here in Triality that make things great.

Keep ’em Guessin’
Yo ladies and gents. I’d like to take this brief interlude from our regularly scheduled front page updating to show off Triality’s latest appearance in the movie world. During The Buried Sea beta-testing, Triality was blessed with the opportunity to participate in the filming of a raid video to showcase the end zone Solteris, the Throne of Ro.
The video can be found on the front page of http://eqplayers.station.sony.com and downloaded in a better resolution here!
Triality would like to extend our deepest thanks to David “Nodyin” Ford for giving us this opportunity on top of coordinating everything and Ben Saret for doing such a great job at putting the video together. It was a pleasure and something very special to this guild. We hope to do it all over again. Thanks again guys!
