whitereflectionAhhh, Two Lumps. "I'm Cthulu!" *hee hee* Too cute.
Still wondering if I should give up on MC/Ony raiding stuff for good. I like Ony and I enjoy the occasional trip to MC, but the UGA bull is just frying me completely. It just never ends. It just continues to piss me off, and I'd say to hell with them, if it wouldn't affect the rest of my guild, if I didn't have those in the UGA I genuinely liked and liked to play with, and if it didn't mean I'd be shutting myself out of the end-game raids for good. I like my guild, I wouldn't like the big guilds I'd have to be a part of to get at that sort of thing.
But these people, and their thickheadedness, *pisses me off*. (And dear heavens they move at the speed of mud.) And it pisses me off how it's changed slightly even the tone of my own guild--how some people it's caused to leave, or to stay away for long periods of time, how it's made even those sticking around less in tune with the fun of the game and more prone to drama (not you, Aaron). But I have to wonder, is it always like that? Do people always lose the sense of fun when they get to these most challenging sections of the game? Are all guilds and guild alliances in any MMORPG inevitably going to go through these sorts of things? I wonder if anywhere people just do it for the fun of it, and for the success, or if they always become elitist pricks.
I think though, the only reason I really stay guild leader and don't step down (because I'm a craptastic leader and by rights I should appoint someone else) is that it's the only thing that keeps me part of the UGA council, and thus one of the few emphasizing the casual or middle-ground players in the alliance. Sometimes I feel like there's almost no one looking out for the non-hardcore/non-elitist types. And sometimes I feel like the wishes of the few biggest guilds are all that get paid attention to anyway, and they're all each other's favorites.
AAANYWAY. Non-game. It was lovely chilly out this am. And it is Friday. Yays. It also amuses me in an odd way how you can tell who has garage access and who doesn't on window-frost type mornings. And of course, of those who have to scrape, how few of them do more than a tiny patch on the driver's side barely big enough to see through--as opposed to the whole window to get any real visability. Not a grass-frost sort of morning, though. But it was cool enough to see my breath, and that was nifty. Chose our new student assistant this am, and they do personnel paperwork Monday, so we'll soon be back to full speed. At least our current student kept things from backing up at all.
