Officers' Quarters: Be careful what you promise
Every Monday, Scott Andrews contributes Officers' Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership. He is the author of The Guild Leader's Handbook, available now from No Starch Press. Promises, promises. Politicians make them all the time. In fact, many of them get elected based on those promises. No one seems surprised anymore when a politician fails to deliver on a campaign promise, yet our guild members usually expect us to do what we say we will. Could it be that guild officers are actually held to a higher standard? Let's look at this week's email to find out! Hello I am an officer (well one of 2) in a medium sized semi raiding guild We also have a large number of "casual" players in our guild. During LK era, we had 2 different 10 man raiding teams going on. Both groups I took the time to rotate different players out each given week so everyone had a chance to raid.The second group was also made up of some of the first group's alts. This was very stressful on me due to I would take all week to get the groups ready only to have someone say at the last minute would say oh I can't make it 5 minutes before raid started, then I would have to rework the "group composition" in a flurry to be able to start the raid on time. Well during Cata we all agreed we did not want to do rotations and only wanted to do 10 man raids and wanted two solid 10 man groups with the same people every week ( with a stand by if needed), so we could work as a "family" unit and mesh well together.
Dirk Benedict would approve of these Face Training screens
If anyone would enjoy a video game about face exercises, it would be The A-Team's Templeton "Faceman" Peck, right? He'd be the first to tell you that when you escape from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground where, today, still wanted by the government, you survive as a soldier of fortune, you want your face to inspire as much confidence as it can. For that, we imagine him saying, you need to be as wrinkle-free as possible.It's equally important to look your best when scamming a free hotel room for your troop of friendly mercenaries as it is when quipping at some terrorists as they ineffectually fire their M-16s at you. If you have a (face) problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find it, maybe you can import ... Face Training.
