Title: Dead Men Raiding
Post by: TeaLeaf on September 02, 2008, 06:42:52 PM
**posts below here are split from the Mea Culpa "merger" thread a sit went off-topic to Deads Men Raiding**

Just a quick addendum for those Mea Culpa members that should know.  I suspect the 'stop raiding' post was planned.

I was told last week that Siluvaine was going to join Evolve (the guild formed by some ex-members of Sora & Genesis).  Siluvaine she was in the Evolve raid of MH last Thursday (thus she did not want MC to go to MH this week as she was locked).
This was info passed to me before last Sunday's SSC raid so I figure with Cantos raiding there it was an easy way for her to stop raiding and move.

Hope it's not true but you never know.........

not sure thats 100% correct as Sil was with culpa tryin to get the raid up and running thurday .. It was only after it was cancled as we were 10 players short that she went to help in MH later that evening. As for her being locked. MH is not on our hit list at the moment tk/scc are the places we are planning for.
 
Taken with a pinch of salt .. but ya never know if she is as fed up with culpa as me at the moment anything is possible :g:

Aye, I posted just to give background.  My info came from Evolve (who are struggling desparately atm) and I yesterday spoke to an officer of Evolve and managed to get an indirect confirmation that it had been 'dicussed'.  No idea if it would happen, but I was looking for reasons as to why Sil just unilaterally put a stop to all MC raiding as it effectively kicked MC in the balls and neutered the guild.

I blame ....me.
I seem to want a change or have a break and the fkin lot collapses....Christ im only having a break :narnar:
 
Does it work the other way? if i come back to SOG or MC it improves again .... ROFL. :boxing:

With another fantastic fail for MC to keep a raid going a return to sog or a move to a more active guild looks more inviting every day for me  :g:
 
They will move to a social solid 10 man up to and into the expansion with no more effort in recruiting or gearing people
 
I don't think they will disappear but will just scale it down to close wow friends having a run a couple of nights a week

Well, tbh we're probably not far off having 10 peopel for a ZA.  Depends I guess.  Might be worth us having a talk about plans and timing of the expansion as any change might only be worth doing just before the expansion with a stated aim.  A secondary querstion would then be whether to do it under the SOG or a fresh dMw banner.

You say that but it appears to be me. When I got my Ally char upto 70 I jumped into SoG for some instance runs and, guess what, you all buggered off to MC.

Now I'm in MC for the same reason and, oh joy, you're all talking about leaving again!

Damn, I must smell or something :narnar:

LOL @ Gandy :P
 
I think a dMw Guild is now the way to go......may still have the charter somewhere im not sure.
 
I'm having a nice break atm but when the expansion is out i will be back to full levelling and 5 man, 10 man stuff.

Well after the rush to hit 80 im after 25man runs ... With no winging, afk'ing slacking or backstabbing... If such a thing exists :doh:
 
2 raids / week I cant do anymore gets a bit too much for the better half
 
"Deadmen Warcrafting" is tucked away on Sara's toon ... she only noticed the other day that she was the GM

yeah, let's do it! I can easily make one serious raid a week, maybe two depending on workload.

Thirded.....Our own Guild (mostly) UK start time 6:45 - 7Pm and i can raid again 2-3 nights a week.

You know what, that is why I'm missing so many raids, by the time I'm in from work and have got settled down, the raid is already underway :doh:

Never really thought about the EU time difference. Surely it's grounds for an invasion :narnar:

Following what hmust have been an MC Officer meeting last night, I saw Sab's post about stopping raiding until the expansion.  I have therefore quit MC and returned to SOG.

Just pie in the sky but I though I would throw this open
 
Are there any guilds out there that organize mixed raids .. I'm thinking some core players in wow set up a dMw guild also a raid sign up and the raiding is done by any members that apply to sign up (through the usual forum)
 
I do see some problems with understanding peoples level and knowledge but in time just like any other server we run they will be able to apply for the wings and get bumped to the top of the raid spots  
 
Feel free to blow this out the water :D

"Dead Men Raiding" Created.
 
Image of Tabard. (can be changed obviously)
(http://www.smite.eclipse.co.uk/Images/dMwTabard.jpg)
Now that bit is done where do you want to take it.
 
My personal oppinion would be to use it at the minute for dMw people only to level chars and expand on it with WOTLK.

I'll move some toons over when I see someone online.  Asesinato and Eloso need a home.

Ok, we got a few toons in place and the guild is formed, I think now is the time to start formalising the strucutre and to wheel it into the public domain of the dMw community.   Pre-expansion patch is imminent (2 weeks) and the expansion is now just 6 weeks off.  Anyone got any thoughts on who, how and when?

TL.

1.  Form needs sorting to move SOG to Archive, edit menu links and text
2. Create new DMR forum sections, include what  sections we can to the public side to add value.
3.  Agree how much of the DMR forums should be public and which bits will need to be retained as private (officers, TS details etc anything else?)
4. Change SOG GMOTD advising to read announcement re DMR (I will leave a toon with SOG to retain name etc).
5. Agree personnel & strucutre for DMR (could we use something similar to the dMw structure for member ranks perhaps?)
6. Agree any transition arrangement for any SOG --> DMR transfers
7. Possibly set up a roadmap/timetable for the raid element of the guild (or should the guild be aimed at 10 man or 25 man raiding, or at any raiding at all?)
8.  AOB

Am on most of night, got a bear run for 45 mins at 21:30- server time, but can come along any other time.  For me one of the important things to set is an idea of what we want the guild to do and how fast.  Ie what level of raiding are we going for.  I think that sort of decision has a decent impact on the guild and future success.

well, I need to get my toons moved over, but it appears that whenever I'm online no one else is!

Anyway, for raiding, I'm all up for that but need to know when so I can make sure I'm free :)
