    One of our featured guilds this week actually has a motto! My guild doesn't have a motto (at least not one that I know of), but if we did get one, I'd suggest "We're here to kick ass and disenchant epics, and our bank is already full of Nexus Shards." Actually, my guildies might not go for that one so much.Anyway, it's Tuesday, which means it's time for Guildwatch, our weekly informal look at what's happening with guilds around the game (your guild can appear right here by dropping us a drama, downed, or recruiting story at wowguildwatch@gmail.com).

Here where, every Tuesday, you can see who's winning, who's inviting, and who's cheating.And don't forget, if you've got a tip on a guild that has drama happening (anonymous tips welcomed), is downing the 25-man stuff already, or is recruiting for Karazhan, let us know at wowguildwatch@gmail.com.

    That's a player's reconstruction of a Sapphiron kill, in case you couldn't tell. Considering the way it looks, I'm guessing the guild plays on Alliance side. ICE BURN!Happy Thanksgiving this week from GuildWatch. To go along with your turkey and gravy, we've got your weekly quota of Drama (including your chance to vote on our readers' work), Downed, and Recruiting notices from around the World of Warcraft.

    Tuesday night means maintenance is (most likely) over, and it's time once again for your weekly look at guild drama, downings, and recruiting from around the realms.Every week, GuildWatch asks for your help-- it's your submissions to wowguildwatch@gmail.com that keep our column rolling with news, so if you've got some drama, a kill, or are recruiting (we especially want to hear about the recruiting, as this week we're a little low), please let us know. But this week we have another request, too, for the artistic types out there. Click the link below for details, and this week's GW.

    This week's GuildWatch is all about the loot-- to the victor, as they say, go the spoils. One guild finished off Nef, and gave out free loot to their guildmates. Another guild got a world first occurence-- not one but two Staff Heads of Atiesh from the same Kel kill (at least that's what their screenshot says-- I'll leave it up to you to determine if it's faked or not). And I even got some sweet loot this week-- my guild downed Ony, and I got our first Tier 2 helm for my Shaman. Yep, it felt pretty good beating Ony up for the first time, and now, I get the spoils: my eyes glow white with power.As always, if you have Drama, Downed or Recruiting news from your guild (or anyone else's), drop a note to us at wowguildwatch@gmail.com. This week's GW starts right after you click the link below.

    Even though you were probably a little worried GuildWatch wouldn't show up this week (because it's pretty late), worry not, because here it is, with all the standard guild drama, downings, and recruitment to boot. You'll have to excuse us if we keep it short this week, however-- the GW staff ate a little too much Halloween candy, and they're starting to feel the snarl of the Snickers. The kick of the Kit Kat, if you know what I mean.As always, make sure to send your guild's news (or drama) to wowguildwatch@gmail.com, and we will love you for it.

    Time once again for our weekly look at who's up (in arms), who's downed (by raids), and who's out (as in, out there looking for new players). Yep, it's GuildWatch, and just like the unraveling tale of Mark "Maf54" Foley, you're kind of disgusted but you can't bear to look away.If you want your guild to appear here (or, perhaps, a guild that has just /gkicked you for a really stupid reason), drop an email to wowguildwatch@gmail.com, and then bask in the glory and honor that comes along with showing up on a column about player guilds in the biggest MMORPG ever. Sure, it won't get you free coffee at Starbucks, but it will win you the respect (and/or scorn) of geeks everywhere. Click the link to continue.

    Sorry GuildWatch is running a little late this evening-- my guild, Gothic Bunnies on Thunderhorn-H (see above) came *this* close to finishing off Rajaxx this evening (we're casual, you hardcore raiders-- no comments from the peanut gallery, please). The good news is that while sites like NotAddicted give you theoretical guild drama, we've got the real thing-- and we're even making some ourselves.If you want your guild (or tips about a guild you know) to show up here on Tuesdays, drop us a line at wowguildwatch@gmail.com. You're the ones out there fighting, downing, and recruiting-- we just want to report it. This week's GW is... well, you know the rest.
