Forged Alliance

thandrenn wrote You want a Dictatorship. Fine. I'm taking over and we're doing Zero-sum DKP using basically the system we did for TBC with a few minor changes. Though who don't like it will be put on the first train to the russian front. Seriously. Like your grandpa said, your opinion stinks. A dic...

It occurred to me a moment ago while I was doing dishes, that we have a good number of opinions on how loot should be distributed in our guild.  Then something my grandfather used to say snuck into my head as well. Chuunks's Grandpa said  Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one - and they all s...

As much as I'm trying to stay out of it, somehow I got flagged to getting emailed every single response to this thread :( I've spoken my peace, I haven't inspected anyone or formed any opinion as to who I think is more or less deserving of loot.  My reactions are soley based on what I see as people ...

I'll give you the actual example of this. When Calamity's Grasp finally drops and Ichi and I both roll on it I am going to ...

You're a huge fan of DKP, because you see it has 'acceptible' flaws -- and badge loot can soften that blow.  But keep in mind as well that it's a HUGE amount of work, just ask Jeff or anyone who as served as a DKP officer, geez - try to have a conversation with the DKP Officer after raid, he/she's a...

Can I ask a loaded question? (okay fine that counted .. can I ask two? .. err three?  damnit -- five?)        "What is the purpose of DKP?" Is it to allocate loot to the people who have put the most effort into the raids and not received his/her portion of the "goodies"? Is it to...

I think we should take a more severe and radical approach.  /roll for main spec Really DKP is a way to really define who participates more, who puts in additional effort to be early, etc, etc, etc... But each system has inherent flaws and no matter what - potential abuse (whether that be in the form...

I'm telling Ripley's you had kids at 5.

Last night was a blast -- it was good to see you all again and raid with you. I've been back and forth with this speaking with Dee mostly about this...  I feel a certain obligation towards she and Brian in particular because in some respects I believe that in my quitting, I took 'real' raiding away ...

Would also like to see the question added:

"What would you do if a black spot appeared below you in a raid?"

If it's misshapen you really should have that looked at right away ... But if there is hair growing out of it, you're probably fine.

LOL  <3   I had finally gotten out of the habit of checking these forums!  Glad someone pointed me back ... I did have a question though, usually there's a line forming behind the active guy with Paul's mom, have we done away with that? Back on subject -- I'm not one to pontificate on things ... Oka...

"What is the hit rating your class needs to be viable in a raid?"  

LOL - how does this happen with Paul and Dustin separated?  Or perhaps that's the problem, they would attack each other so brutally that no one would step into the arena ... Seriously, though (and I'd say this in the officer forum if I wasn't demoted here mere moments after my own gquit) it is merel...

Dee had an instant mis-speak classic last night (the night before x-mas?) "Merry Christmas all!  I'm AFK in flight.."    

I R TNAK!

Kaittlynn wrote My hopes this weekend is to actually get on Jazz and do a bunch of quests to turn in AFTER I upload the expansion-- try to get a head start. 

This.  Is.  BRILLIANT! I only wish I saved a few ... damn you achievements, damn you to heck and give me my life back!!!

I believe Forged Alliance will progress in WotLK -- I wish everyone the best of luck and will cheer for your continued success. I'm sure I will be seeing and playing with many of you in the future.    "All that is gold does not glitter,     Not all those who wander are lost;     The old that is...

We're overfull of tanks and don't really have SSC/TK days anymore. Sorry -- probably not the best fit unless you come with about 10-12 others who want to form a SSC/TK raid on the weekends earlier    

Akumabarai wrote As mentioned elsewhere, we'll probably do a raid night a week, and just do something fun that everyone can participate in regardless if they are level 80 or not. Llike pvp, or some real old world instances like AQ40/MC. At that point - BT will be an old world instance. :) When BC c...
