The Daily Grind

It's been an interesting weekend, and as usual I find it's over far too soon.


As for what I've managed to get done this week? Well I had a chance to sit down and watch the season openers of my favorites shows. This means I watched CSI, CSI: NY, CSI: Miami (Am I the only person who thinks David Caruso is reading cue cards behind those sunglasses?) NCIS: LA and my personal favorite, NCIS.

What I didn't get done? I played zero hours of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (Oh well, it gives me something to do on the train) and I played zero hours of Dragon Age. Some gamer I am. Stuck playing WoW allllllll weekend long.

So tonight's topic is....(drum roll please!) Guild Drama!

What is guild drama? It's the problems that arise internally with a guild that make it fall apart long before it's time should be up, or it's the petty problems between one guild and another.

Why does guild drama exist? Unfortunately, because a number of people in World of Warcraft (Or any game for that matter) insist on acting like they're still in high school, despite the fact that many of them are adults who work full time and have teenage children of their own.

Internal Guild drama is normally just tension or arguing between two members that spreads out and drags other people in. This is the easiest to deal with thankfully. Normally what causes this is two members who just don't see eye to eye, or worse, they do and they can't seem to say it in such a way as they understand each other. It's hilarious to watch, til they start dragging other people in and making them take a side. Easy solution, demote or kick the troublemakers. The guilds better off without them.

What? You don't like that solution? Too bad, it's my guild.

External guild drama on the other hand is hard to deal with. For instance, this new guild on the server has taken a dislike to my guild because of a couple of people I choose to allow residence inside my guild. Because of this, without talking to myself or any of my officers they have started a campaign to tarnish our lovely name. This has backfired thus far because my characters are well known on the server, and have been around since the beginning of time ( or at least the beginning of Azeroth as we know it. ) Anny suggestions for how we might deal with this? I've already threatened to kick anyone caught associating with the offending guild, but it's a large guild....that we've already lost a few people to because they didn't like me...oh well. their loss.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a great weekend! Now back to work you lazy bums! (Just kidding)

Lots of Love
