Cute title eh?

Anyhow I spoke with Goob of Foundation today to find out some details.  They are a guild that is currently raiding 20 man content and they are choosing to stay smaller for the expansion when the instances will be 25 man mostly.  He also doesn't want the headache of managing a gigantic guild.  They have some members with some good raiding experience (MC, BWL, AQ40) but he says he also needs to appease guildies that want to do MC as a necessary evil. 

My first impression is they are a little more serious of a raid guild than we are which isn't a bad thing.  He said they currently are trying to raid 4 nights a week.  He seems like he's kinda tired of the same stuff we're dealing with - endless immaturity on our server and difficulties in finding people to run with.

I shared what little I know about our guild and got his impressions of this partnership thing.  He would like each guild to field about 20 for any 40 man content we would do.  He seemed kinda hesitant when I told him we had dropped to about 13-15 ish and hadn't been able to raid for a while.  He also understood that people hearing that we may be close to doing MC  if they'd show up would probably bump our numbers back up and even help recruit a few more.

This stuff were just some initial thoughts we kicked around so nothing is set in any way...we're probably getting ahead of ourselves on this but...His ideas were if we did do MC do have a shared DKP system with them, so a whole new list rather than rolls.  To fight the headache of HOW COME HE GETS TO GO AND I DON'T complaints some sort of preference by using earned DKP or how many raids you've attended so people who are raiding get to go before people who just want to jump in every now and then.  So someone with more points would get first shot at a raid spot over someone with fewer points (Keeping class balance in mind though)  . Although, I don't FSE would have a huge problem with this at the moment since comign up with 20 would be our first obstacle.

His guild seems to be able to raid during the week he says, so probably 2 days back to back.  Mon/Tues or Thurs/Fri - still this is up in the air.

They're running ZG tomorrow at about 5:30 or 6:00 server time and he said they usually have 2 or 3 spots open.  He's going to hit some of us up if we want to go and get to know them a little.

As far as any other questions, msg Goob (he can take a min to respond) or his GF is co-gm Kokio, as well as Zazu and Kokobutter are also officers he said.  Mandah is also a vet to ask questions of he mentioned.

Anyhow, I liked the fact he was kinda tired of the nonsense we've had to deal with as well and he seemed positive even though we haven't had a very successful last several weeks of raiding.

I didn't post any of this in the guild forums yet, we can do that later when this thign gets a little more fleshed out maybe.  But we might want to mention to folks that getting attuned for MC would be a good idea as well as put together some guild Ony attunement runs.

Lets get up to 20 who are ready to go and hopefully this can go somewhere.

I left a bunch of questions unanswered but let me know or hit them up for it.
