About Ern's Suicide Kings
Ern's Suicide Kings
Ern’s Suicide Kings is loot distribution tool created by me, Ern, around, as you may have guessed it, the Suicide Kings method.
The original goal for this project was to create a tool that allowed for multiple lists, ease of use, no need to sync a file across multiple accounts, and means to distribute loot without requiring the add-on to be installed for all raiders!
Features
- No file or list syncing required! Necessary data is saved via Officer Notes.
- Players that install the add-on and have permission to view Officer Notes will be able to see the lists and how the players are ordered!
- Seven separate lists are able to be created.
- Raiders can be marked as inactive for specific lists.
- Players are automatically marked as absent when not present in raid (if not already inactive on a particular list).
- Raiders bid on items or cancel bids via raid chat, with loot distributing automatically to award the individual highest on the selected list and moving them on selected list as appropriate!
- Able to designate individuals as disenchanter, auction house, or specific armor types for speedier loot distribution, without affecting lists.
Usage
- /esk – Opens up Ern’s Suicide Kings. Also available via mini-map button.
- Players that have access to view Officer Notes can view the current lists and player orders on each list.
- In order to see the Options and Loot tabs to manipulate lists and players, as well as distribute loot, the player performing the edits must be able to edit Officer Notes, be in a raid, and set as the loot-master.
- This is done in order to reduce traffic to the guild roster information and ensure data is saved appropriately!
- If the conditions are correct and these tabs still don't appear, click on the Reload UI button provided.
- Only max level guild members can be added to the lists.
- Main Tab – Displays current lists and players as well as their current positioning and status. Those that can edit Officer Notes, are in a raid, and are the loot-master, can also move players around as necessary on this screen.
- Options Tab – Where lists and players can be added to the tool and also removed. Here, players can also be designated for disenchanting, auction house, and specific armor types for speedier distribution, if applicable in raid group.
- Loot Tab – Where loot-masters, assuming they can edit Officer Notes, will be taken automatically to distribute loot.
If there are any questions, comments, concerns, or bugs, please do not hesitate to shoot me an email at ern.warcraft@gmail.com, otherwise feel free to submit a ticket via Curse Forge at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/erns-suicide-kings/create-ticket/
Thanks so much!
Enhancements Added
- Added an "Override" feature, allowing individuals that can edit Officer Notes the ability to modify lists/players without having to be in a raid group.
- When ESK is pulled up, hold down <Shift> <Alt> to show the button to enable.
- Plate Intellect button appears as intended on the Free Loot page.

I've overhauled ESK's appearance (see images above). Should be available to you guys as soon as it's approved by Curse. Enjoy!
I've got some new stuff coming your guys' way (pending approval by Curse). Namely an option to remove the minimap button if you so desire as well as a history window of the loot winners. This Win History is pretty basic currently, but it does the job! I also made some visual tweaks as well. Enjoy!
Unfortunately I'm having issues with this latest build with getting something working out to you guys. I resolved the couple LUA errors that have popped up, but now the addon appears to be causing an Error 132 and crashing WoW. I'm still investigating and I hope to get something out as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I finally found the time to work on this and I have a working 5.0.4 release heading your guys' way pending approval. Thanks for your patience!
Sometimes you'll have to simply reload the UI when you meet those requirements from my experience. I'll look into the code to see what further can be done about it.
I am not sure this is a bug but I can't really do anything with the addon. I only see the main tab, which of course is totally empty. I have permissions to write in officer's notes and I tried it in a raid as raid leader and master looter. I also tried it with no other addons enabled. Is there anything I have missed here?
Greetings everyone,
I'm excited to see growing activity and interest in this add-on as we fast approach Mists of Pandaria! I'm pumped to explore Pandaria like most of you are :)
I simply wanted to do a quick post to let you all know that I'm planning to get an update tomorrow, Tuesday 8/28/2012, as soon as I verify that the add-on works for this new and massive patch. Some big changes coming tomorrow with ESK:
- More than 29 players can now be added, up to 99.
- ESK will automatically mark absent players if they're not in the raid on all lists.
- Players will be able to cancel their bid as well, simply by typing in a '0' in raid chat during opening bidding.
- All players will be able to refresh and get the latest list/player data without reloading the UI.
As always, certainly let me know any feedback, issues, or enhancements you come across! I try to keep an eye here as much as possible, but you can certainly email me at ern.warcraft@gmail.com or submit tickets via Curse Forge at http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/erns-suicide-kings/tickets/
Thanks again everyone!

Hey Ern,
Im the author of the "other" suicide kings mod, KSK - welcome to the club! I am very happy to see alternatives to KSK coming up, because I think healthy, friendly competition only makes both things better and in the end its the user's that win. I have a great deal of experience with suicide kings, what works and what doesn't and I am more than happy to give you help / feedback / advice / anything else you need. Feel free to email me (cruciformer@gmail.com) if you need / want any such help. Welcome again to the SK club and I wish you every possible success. I can see you have already made some radically different choices and the user community will benefit from having the power of choice.
Cruci
Greetings Cruci!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm certainly excited to not only enter the Suicide Kings arena with you but also the modding community with my first stab at a WoW add-on.
Best wishes and regards,
-Ern
I'm also very excited to see a new suicide kings addon, we've been using KSK for years but there's no activity (so far) on a 5.04 update for that mod.
Looks very promising so far, one issue I had during my brief test is that there's an upper limit on the number of players I can have in a list - it looks like it may be 29. This won't work for us, we have 35+ raiders in our roster.
I love the use of officer notes, that's one thing I always really liked about the epgp addon.
We'll be resuming 25 man raiding on September 11th (to shake off the rust and get people some practice with new talents etc), I'd love to put this to the test in a real raid if that limitation can be resolved in time.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely look into this!
I'll keep track of this matter via the ticket system on Curse Forge
http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/erns-suicide-kings/tickets/1-additional-features/
A compromise on the absent / present thing might be to at least mark them absent on all lists at once. If I have say 6 people out, going through and marking them all absent on 3 different lists is a pain.
I definitely appreciate the feedback, this is certainly a good list :)
I'm currently working on allowing more players to be added to the player list and have implemented scrolling frames in order to do this for the player lists, so I'm still in the process of fine tuning this.
In regards to the last item of exporting the lists, I have the Chat Log and Announce buttons. Used together, this will let you toggle the chat logging on/off (which will track what's said in raid chat) and then use the Announce button. Probably not the best solution in the world, but the only one I found that so far that would assist in automatically creating an electronic list/reference of sorts.
Three of us ran Stocks today to try out the master looting, everything seems to work well. I do have some feeback, I'll list it in order of importance to our guild, but feel free to ignore it, if the issue of the number of raiders on a list is fixed I think we'll be able to use it as is.
1. Automatically marking players as absent if they're not in the raid or present if they are would be awesome. I know for sure I will forget to update it and screw things up.
2. Some way for people to refresh the lists without reloading UI would also be really good.
3. Less important, some way to retract bids would be nice, maybe this is already done but not documented.
4. Ask 'are you sure' when someone presses the 'randomize list' button - kind of important.
5. Some acknowledgement when someone has bid - not too important
6. Some way to export or backup the lists - not super important we can screenshot it.
Keep up the good work!
