Randomness strikes

Musings of a second in command

Im lucky the Gm is my wife ,

Now a whiles ago our guild being a small friendly bunch formed an alliance with another small friendly guild so we could have a decent stab at some of the 10-25 man content . And all was well with the world .

Sadly the guild we were running with imploded so we extended an open door policy to them all . They decided to go with a larger guild that had more raid experience and was gearing for kara so we wished them well and told them to say hi whenever and they were all welcome on runs with us .

So far so good you may think .

Well it turns out that a few of them were not very happy with the new guild and didnt feel they fitted in and were being left out of things .

So again we extended the open door policy to them as they really are a great group of people to play with .

One of them came over and is now very happy with us and others are also considering moving over . This is where the fun starts ....

I logs in to find our new guildy rather upset saying that this guild has booted one of the other people out as they said they were thinking of moving to us and now this guild is demanding to speak to our Gm . So I kicks the wifey out of bed and she logs in .

This bloke starts ranting at her with a load of absolute twaddle about how his guild is very upset and feels used by us to get these guys a few steps down the kara chain etc . And how they were settled in the guild for over two weeks with no trouble .

I was standing next to her watching this unfold chuckling as I know they only joined them less than a week earlier and so far have been on one quest run then largely ignored . Wifey bless her keeps her temper and tells him not to take it personally its a game and *** happens .

Everyone goes back to enjoying to their game .

Im a bit miffed and check this guild out and the moron who demanded to talk to our gm isnt even the gm of the guild he's an officer . Sort of shows the guilds mentality really .

They havent been around overly long and I remember sitting in stormwind and seeing their badly spelled guild spam . *Note to self* line by line macros annoy people , badly spelt ones really annoy people .

It still surprises me how personally some guilds take things .

    Unfortunately, the nature of the game allows any person of any type to create a Guild. There are some people in this game who just should not be allowed to be in any kind of a leadership position. They might think they're awesome at it, but they're not. At least survival of the fittest has an influence in terms of which Guilds thrive and which don't.

    Yup Ive been playing a long time now and have seen a slew of guilds come and go . Maybe its time Blizz implements physchological profiling for officer rank and above .

    This story seems to play out over and over. Just about every guild I've been in has had a similar series of events.
