Inorite!

It was a year between the two, though, give or take a few days. Thes left us first. I was the first one to give my resignation, but he quit raiding with us before I did. He hangs out with his SWTOR guild now. I just want to make it clear that I AM NOT JEALOUS at all. ;D

And I so miss you and Conquest. I wish I could go back but 1)I can’t raid Mondays and 2)Your GM still owes me a (pretty big, by now) apology.

Neat post, though I’m sure the question many of your readers must be asking themselves is, “How can one girl walk away from both Vik & Thespius in the sae year? OMG their dulcet voices would have me totally hooked!”

Best of luck wherever you end up.

Oh yeah! People not reading what I post on the forums drives me nuts too. I even had one guildie throw a tempter tantrum once when I (gently) suggested he skim over the boards once a week or so. Like what the heck. (But I think he was kind of mentally unstable. He ragequit a few weeks later when he showed after raid had already started and we wouldn’t kick anyone to make room for him. I was very entertained.)

I’ve never had a boyfriend live with me, so it’s pretty easy for me to tell guys I’m dating early on that I’m busy from 6-9 on Tues/Thur. If a guy moved in, I think I’d probably need to have a talk with him to determine what we feel comfortable with. Whether or not I get hassle-free game time would have to be something we decided on together. I hope that if a guy does move in at some point, that he’ll be a gamer too and have the same attitude toward gaming as I do.

I’m a bit like you in some ways. I love reading up about new fights, watching videos, and combing through forums for advice/tips on how to handle the various things going on. I then post all I’ve learnt with video links onto our forum, but as soon as the raid starts I realise most of the people haven’t even bothered to read what I’ve posted!
Tank dies to Impale on Madness – Huh? What happened? Why did I get one-shot?
DPS dies on Spine because of Plasma debuff – I didn’t get any heals despite I was low health for ages. What are the healer doing?

I remember on Maloriak our tank kept dying during green phase, and our RL was blaming the healers, so I felt great when I could prove from WoL that the adds were buffing the boss and he was two-shotting the tank. Yes, I find it very frustrating that people just aren’t interested in finding these things out for themselves. For me it’s half the fun!

As far as having a boyfriend and raiding, I have to keep telling him that it’s every bit a commitment as his football matches are to him. I can’t just drop everything during a raid to help him with something, any more than he could me when he is on the playing field, but it is hard to get him to acknowledge that.

Thank you! Good luck to you too! Shaping a guild is tough, but can be extremely rewarding.

Aww thanks! It’s kinda scary since I’ve never really had to guild shop before.,. And sometimes frustrating because my work schedule is so crappy. I should move back to the East Coast – the raiding is better there.

@Thespius and Rilandune

You two are just too sweet ^_^ It took me so long to answer because I’m all blushing and speechless, haha.

I wish I could take you in, but I’m torn between turning my guild into the raid team I want or leaving for a better fit, and I only want to run 10 man anyways… good luck though.

I wish you luck in your guild search! I know it’s tough leaving a team you enjoy for companionship but I also *know* any team would be lucky to have you <3

We run Tue/Wed/Thur. with occasional optional off days to maybe work on some progression usually in 10 man. They also have an alt 10 man group that they run on Sat. 6-9 as well I believe.

If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me an email.
