Seriously Opti, I think you should calm down quite a bit. The officers are just as much allowed to have absence from the raids as any other members, and they have an all over
very high attendace.
I don't think comments such as this one is something that really help them get motivated for the job they do.
To be honest, I think you should delete, or at least apologize for, the post you just made!
Well Im sure that all 3 have excuses for not showing up.. Altho they are officers I must say i don't except them to show up at every raid. It shouldn't be that neccesary for all the officers to show up at every raid.. They got RL's to take care of aswell..
i dont blame the not attended officers that they didnt showed up iam mad at the guild quiters as the are right they want progress and no wasting of time TL100% attend but what is the point calling the raid with 36members come 4 more and you got 40 give it some time clear thrash etc
You will also appreciate the fact that we had 11 healers, where we should have close to 15 for a nice group, espes there where the healing is very important on the trash before the twins and the twins themselfs. There is more to having a good raid then just numbers.
The officers are as disapointed as you are and we are working on a solution, give us a bit of time and look for a post by us tomorrow.

If that was your point, that didn't come quite well out of that first post of yours. Next time just take 15 minutes to chill and a cold beer before making such a post the next time, so you don't end up with something that is easily misinterpreted.
Firstly, Vargen actually was there, check the DKP site. TL's wifes Bday is today, I mean... jesus, I didnt expect to see him at all tonight but he did actually turn up later on for MC, if I had a wife and it was her BDay, I probably wouldnt turn up either, and he apologised in the absence thread. Ragnarh, not got a clue, but he probs has a reason im not aware of. Cant go blaming people for not turning up unless its obvious someone is skipping these raids, and after drawing up spreadsheets and stuff, I found at least 1 person who im having suspicions about =P
Also, you didnt turn up to the last twins raid that we would have spent wiping which didnt go ahead :)
W00t dont blame anybody mate!?
Raid called due to lack of people... Oops think RG2 has tried that LOADS of times, but hey thats what happens. This is a game, and ppl have reasons to prefere RL in situations.
Quote from: Sinap;155578TL's wifes Bday is today,
Hmm. Was it in my situation i wouldent show up. There are couple of days in a year where such things happes. RL events are more imprtant than raiding.
would you miss you brothers wedding just because a raid?
what im trying to say is *BIIIP* happens. A smart man once said:"
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." - Originally said by Albert Einstein. Think a bot about that 1 :narnar:
Saaaainaaaap:
LORN TO REED!
He said that he DIDNT BLAME THE PPL BENEATH.
those were the three officers.
if he writes that he blames the officers that called the raid, then the officers that werent online couldnt have been the ones calling the raid.
besides: SoG inst the guild in which the highest percentage of its members are willing to sacrifice alot when it comes to break new grounds.
If you want Pioneering and adventuring into misty uncharted territory, then Sog isnt the best.
But if it is the "same old, same old" then Watch out!!!!!!!!:roflmao:
Even if I had the time to raid I wouldnt have left sog, because I knew that many of the players in SoG has the spirit that you wont even find in any other guild.
there is a thin line between having a great spirit that makes you want to push onwards ingame and the sheer geekyness that has isolated you from anything else than WoW.
All in all; I would have joined Opti in that raid with 36 players.
What happened with the exitement of challenge? I remember when we still didnt get Lucifron, but we managed to clear to the imp caves with like 30 ppl or less, it was the talk of the month! it was superb, THAT was achievement.
I know the twin E. requires healers etc etc. but like, giving up without trying, atleast to learn from failing etc...that can really put out a guy`s glowing ember of adventuring lust!
There are many new players in the guild, I wont even bother to try to figure them out. But you new ppl, please, dont ride the big cock of cockiness. Meaning, that you wont bother trying when you dont have enough numbers compared to guides, 1337 forum strategies etc.
SoG must remember that it has to fight for progress and that process of fighting must happen in each and one of you, and then you have to root for your raidgroups, then you back up eacother (rg1 and 2) and the guildies back up their officers, just like the officers are doing what they can for you on EVERY level of you being a guildie in SoG.
What I mean is, DONT MAKE ME WASTE MY TIME IN FORUMS, I HAVE STUFF TO DO. so If you dont think about this, everyone of you. I`m gonna make life a living hell for all of you by bombing your computers with EMP pulses.
Sorry folks, but it was my wife's birthday and it was more than my life was worth to miss the birthday dinner cooked for her by my daughter. :sad:
From what I heard it wasn't so much the numbers, but the imbalance within the classes that was the problem was only 11 healers which would have caused a massive problem on the Anubisath Defenders you have to kill before even getting to the Twins.
On the bright side, we got a new instance and can demonstrate our improved tactics & NR with a single night clearance through Huhuran and if we make really good time can start on the Sentinels and Twins on the same night. Let's make sure everyone gets to the instance early next time so we start as promptly as possible please.
TL.
Have to say, I was abit down on the calling of the raid yesterday too. But I respect the decition.
Agree with you to TL, ppl shoud be at the entrace at 19.15 latest so we can start.
Raid was called since its a really hard fight, and we decided that we need full RG1 attention for that. We could've borrowed a few more from Defenders/Soldiers but its a fight we have to learn for ourselves, and we need full RG1 attention
On a general note i have to say that im extremely dissapointed to see that we have to cancel a cleared instance to the Twin Emperors for a second time. How the heck can people expect to get some loot when some (no mention, none forgotten) dont show up for the learning nights. These are the nights thats the most interesting where we can really to use our skills.
Please dont make us bring random raids into the picture again, or cancel BWL until we downed twin emperors, but thats some of the options we have. Another thing we might have to do is check the attendance, and replace people not fulfilling the actual requirements. Its something we dont wanna do either, but our raids MUST GO ON.
The Officers are EXTREMELY focused on progressing in the various dungeons, but without the support of the members, we cannot do it
I hope all people will reflect on last nights events and meet up for the next raids to come, so we can get AQ40 done and move on to Naxxramas

I interpetted the post as it was mend... He's
NOT complaining the three he wrote down....
Maybe 3 AQ40 a week until clear would be a good idea for the time being.
i think padding said it very good. we rely on members to make the raid happen, and the lot of us feel real bad about beeing forced to forfit the raid. But we also have a responsability to provide the members with a viable raid enviroment. In other words if the raid is not viable, even though we hate it, its sometimes better not to raid at all. And let the members find something else to do, like MC last night, which gave SOG its very first TF :yahoo:
along with everyone i was gutted yesturday about raid being called and pretty ****ed off all night as some will have noted however i did make a suggestion prior to the end of the raid that i think wud help, and it was the randoms to come back, see it as the only way to make ppl attend who still want bwl.
proposal was that first AQ40 night every week is thursday, this is where we hopefully clear upto huhu
then the sunday and tuesday raids are either bwl or aq40 depending on the attendance, if full 40 turn up sunday we go aq40 and theyre forced to go through wipe night, if not bwl and again if full dont attend on tuesday we will see if we need to replace people who arent attending at all
just my opinion but based on 2 successive times now where it was to be twin emps wipe night and raids have bin cancelled seems like best way to get quick answers to me
We are working on something, just give us a tad longer to hammer out the fine print :narnar:

Actually it was 20 at the entrance. It all started with me getting ****ed charging at a giant in teddy form. Then some silly priest healed me, and the rest still in the instance were like; Bah, who pulled!? Whatever, lets se how far we get...lol". Then we got a few more on the way, and we were suddenly at luci with 25 or so :blink:
But anyhow, if the raid was called it had a good reason behind it.
Quote from: StrontiumDog;155699Maybe 3 AQ40 a week until clear would be a good idea for the time being.
grader not, BWL is fun, money making, and there still quit some people who could use the epics they drop.
If u cut down BWL ur also punishing people who are there at wipe night, don't think thats so fair, I grader see the same peeps who are afraid of losing sum gold, loosing some dkp.
And if u have 36 people and only 11 healers then ur not missing 4 peep ur missing 8 peeps really ;) (since not all of the other rg1 are healers)
Oh btw, I Don't get he whole fear for wiping, we wiped alot on huhuras (heck we always wipe on new stuff), but it went really smooth last time, practice makes perfect Toyota always screams, and acording to some of my friends: twins is easier then huhuras, so....
Get ur @$$ in there and lets start practising!
The sooner we start the sooner were on CThun, the sooner we get AQ fully Farmed! :yahoo:
