Officers' Quarters: The wrong stuff
Every Monday Scott Andrews contributes Officers' Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership.A big reason I love writing for this Web site is you, the readers. Whenever I write a column and ask you for feedback, you always provide some insightful comments. And whenever I fail to mention an important point, you guys always manage to catch it and comment on it. It's a supportive and intelligent community here, and it certainly makes my job easier!Last week, I wrote about the "right stuff" to look for in a good officer candidate. I mentioned five traits to value in a candidate: maturity, generosity, good communication skills, emotional intelligence, and game knowledge.

But, as several readers pointed out, there are other warning signs that someone will make a bad officer.
