My Wife is a raid leader

Jun-3-2008

I was mowing last night and I had this thought that my Wife is a raid leader (what? What do YOU think about when you are mowing grass?). Lemme back up - she thinks I am a total dork, rolling her eyes whenever I tell her about my l337 epix. She’s never played WoW and I don’t think she will (I’ve tried everything). She is a guild leader though. Her guild is composed of pre-madonna’s, sensitive crybabies, solid team members, and clueless leeches. Oh yeah, they’re also all under 6 years of age. She stays at home and watches kids as we try to make ends meet. Yeah the parallel is sort of a reach, but hear me out.

She organizes raids:
She’s the one to point out the schedule and give reminders. She makes sure each activity is attended.
She prepares for everything:
She’s got the mats for food ready to go, table out, food conjured. She has bandages when you need them, she’s there for a battle rez in a pinch.
She holds discipline:
She hands timeouts justly, and quickly. She kicks them out of the activities when needed.
She knows what they need:
She’s fun when she needs it. Shes serious when she has to be, kind- but stern.
She takes the guild to see new content regularly:
She knows when cabin fever sets in and the guild needs to progress
She teaches:
If they don’t know their role, she helps them learn
She knows how to group up her raid:
She keeps a good kid in each group, keeps the whiny ones separate and placated, and isolates the pre-madonnas.

Kind of startling how many similarities there are.  More best guild in the world posts coming soon.  Remember your guild leader and all the crap they have to deal with before you trash them.  That is all.
