Hello Gents,
This post is basically saying i am dropping from being an Officer and reasons.
 
Firstly:
I accepted the role originally to help out the current Officers and GM.
I thought this was due to people not being around, lost interest and people generally taking a break and I also knew that things were having a slight shake up but not to this extent or in this manner.
The whole "Shakeup" has not been handled very well and as one of the new officers i feel that i have been in someway part of it without knowing Anything about it and That does not sit well with me at all.
 
Secondly:
To put right what has happened the Officers are going to have to dedicate a lot of time to getting back on track and i just don't have it. The time i do have i want to relax and play a game, if i am not doing
that i am going to play with a the new addition to family.
As stated above my expectation of this role did not include what has happened and has made me uncomfortable to be in this position.
 
Thirdly:
Goregrinder.
The situation with Goregrinder was also not dealt with right.
Please don't get me wrong he isn't right for holding an Officer position. Anyone who /Gquit's all the time because he isn't happy should not hold an officer position.
An Officer should be able to see both sides and talk it through not throw teddy out of pram because big brother wants teddy back.
The situation of who is going to be MT1 is no reason to argue and quit a guild. MT1 is no real difference to MT2 in my book. One day i like MT1 another i like MT2 its about sharing the role. But in this situation it was a power battle. 1 quit the guild (Pathetic) and 1 wouldn't back down and think/talk it through.
BUT some slight respect for what Goregrinder has done in the past with keeping Kara runs going and especially leading them should be thought of.
He has done a good job in recruitment and helping people within the guild but i believe he started to think of himself as GM until Gorion came back and that caused him some issues (my thoughts not his as i have not spoken to him since his leaving).
 
Lastly:
I hope you do get SOG back on track and i will help out as much as i possibly can and if i can, but NOT at the extent of the fun of the game.
You have a cracking bunch of people in this Guild just keep them and then keep them happy. Also make sure you are still enjoying it yourselves.
 
Oh and hoping i still have a place in SOG after this post :D
 
Gorion, i was going to PM you but thought it best for all Officers to see it.
I have been trying to decide all week about this and decided that if i was still not happy by friday then the decision was already made. Sorry if this causes any issues.

Gorion

you should really wait till the meeting till you finalise your decision, explaining certain important factors is why i called a meeting immediately - plus time is very limited on my end, i arrive home around 6-6.30 gmt +1
 
there are some parts to point 1 which aint correct, including the "ex"-officers and the reasons for the shake up.
 
regarding goregrinder, i simply asked to tank a boss, i still cant get it why he acted like a total baby about it. one of his comments after he left: ive heard about you, you just want to do and control everything yourself (now this leads me to believe hese had a chat and was influenced with someone i know)
 
i meant to post something yesterday, but ime sick atm, plus i have to go to work and ime quite tired

I have decided being an Officer isn't for me.
Please change me back to a member ingame and remove me from this section.
 
Cheers
