Officers' Quarters: Casual raiding that works
Journal
1 yr 8 mos ago
"Every Monday Scott Andrews contributes Officers' Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership. Welcome to part 3 of my ongoing, in-depth, casual raiding how-to! For parts 1 and 2, click here and here. Last time I talked about communicating your raiding intentions and policies and emphasizing individual preparation prior to a raid. A few people in the comments felt that some of what I recommend doing is a bit too much to ask of casual players. To that I say, every guild is different. It's up to the officers and raid leaders to decide how hard to push the envelope. Only you know your members and the type of experience they're looking for. I can only tell you what has worked for me. But I will also say this: If you push your members a little harder than they're used to, they might surprise you by |

We came, we saw, we fished

"We had a great time on Saturday at the Meet and Greet for It came from the Blog. We chatted, we debated, we leveled and some of us fished. Mike Schramm, Elizabeth Harper, Barb Dybwad, Mark Crump, Matthew Rossi and I were all there to mingle. And many of us thought that some jokes are a little mean. I'd like to thank Ceylene for summoning fellow guildies to our fishfest at Stillwhisper Pond. It's a long run to Blood Elf territory for our young Tauren friends to make. Though we did have fun raising our Fishing skills together, we have more exciting things planned for the future. We will definitely be getting together for Children's Week and maybe even something before. Look for events to be scheduled monthly or more often. While this is a casual, event oriented guild, we do have some members who are leveling up. Many of |

a new iPod MP3 players appears

Just about 20 years ago now, five engineers from 3M wheeled into a Minneapolis studio (Sound 80) an engineering prototype of a two-channel digital recorder."We find it interesting how when a new iPod MP3 players appears the first thing someone wants to do is rip it apart - literally - for the benefit of others. We were about to start a direct-to-disk recording project of a local band called Flim and the BB's.So when the iPod MP3 player touch appeared dozens of folk had to ""touch"" it and place the results online. So we thought why not record simultaneously to this new recorder that actually converted music to numbers and then recorded the numbers on tape. But we guess the secret of creating an iPod MP3 player touch unbox segment for the Net is not creating the best iPod touch unbox photo or video layout, but the first iPod touch |

was purchasing more CDs as a result of file sharing

In February 2000 I wrote about an observation I had where a brief acquaintance of mine, who was an avid Napster user, was purchasing more CDs as a result of file sharing."We find it interesting how when a new iPod MP3 players appears the first thing someone wants to do is rip it apart - literally - for the benefit of others. This was the first article to explore the theory that users utilized Napster, which was only a few months old at this point, to sample music for potential purchase.So when the iPod MP3 player touch appeared dozens of folk had to ""touch"" it and place the results online. Like radio, file sharing had the ability to promote artists, something we now take as common fact. But we guess the secret of creating an iPod MP3 player touch unbox segment for the Net is not creating the best iPod |

""Well,"" I concede, ""I suppose it does look like something the cat dragged in."" Judy raises an uncharitable eyebrow and asks, ""What is it anyway. "" ""Believe it or not, it's the pom-pom from the beanie that Joe got me. I thought I'd lost it skiing at Lake Tahoe."" ""Joe. Your host father. From your year in California. But that was ten years ago."" It is. A decade ago, at only fifteen I left my small hometown in rural Australia to spend an exchange year in Sacramento, California. The Bartons, Joe, Sarah and their daughter Milly, were my host family. Joe was an amazing father. He taught Milly and me how to develop black and white photos in a light-proofed cupboard off his kitchen. wow gold He took us to baseball games |

and to all a good night!

" Granted, they imagined it contained certain differences: children roasting,
swine mulling… Yet here they were: a rag-tag bunch of warriors and mercenaries, some of them members of the elite Ironforge Guard, and a few like herself: concerned citizens of Azeroth who had done just enough good to get rolled into situations like this one whenever the need would arise; all of them astride the traditional mounts of the season, sans jingle bells. The sun had just set, though it was still mid-afternoon: the gloaming, as night elves called it. The time of day when the sun was gone, but the moon was still on her way. The quality of the air would change in Dun Morogh at that time; the quality of light enhanced, like it was shining from somewhere behind the fabric of this world, a part of both. The snow had fallen all that day, and errant |

"Thunder rolled in the skies above, yet clearly no rain had touched the dried
soil of the Blasted Lands for a long, long time. The land that had once been the Black Morass were now a decrepit, eerie desert. This was not the gloomy, damp, tree-infested marshlands that his people had first met, when the Horde had first crossed the Dark Portal. No. What dark powers had molded Hellfire Peninsula into what had earned it its new name had followed the Orcish Horde to this world. A lone orc, draped in dark furs to cover his face from the blowing sand, made its way across the desert. With him, he only carried an imposing battle axe, slung on one shoulder , and a leather pouch gripped tight in his hand. Here, beyond Nethergarde Keep and the Swamp of Sorrows, he was no one. Here, he was not the chieftain of |
