Those of you who actually know me might've noticed I'm gone -again-, this time I thought I'd mention a few things about it since this time I actually have some idea of my AFK status.

I'm likely to come back to the game sometime during the first half (-maybe- quarter) of the next year. But it'll be a "testing the waters" sort of thing. I've been bored with the game for a long time now. I've only been coming back because I remember how awesome this guild is but the game itself just doesn't hold my interest for any reasonable length of time and I end up slowly giving away my gaming time to my bajillion hobbies and other stuff until I stop playing. Next time I play, I'll do everything I can think of to try and spark my interest in the game again, hopefully it'll work.

It's still all very sketchy since I'll also be moving out which will fuck with my free time even more but we'll see. Hopefully your bannermaster will be able to uphold his duty for a much longer period soon enough. I know my absence doesn't count for much but I thought I owe an explanation for this and all of my previous MIA statuses.

Oh, that barely scratches the surface of what me own father did. Once, he had me wrestle with this bear until I killed it and then had me run while carrying the corpse for half an hour. When the time was out he immediately told me to hurl the bear for 30 meters. I had to keep running to the bear and carry it back until I got it right!

Let me tell you about what me dad had me do when I was a wee little child. My dad forced me to run 30 kilometers each morning. With scissors. And he was constantly punching me in the face as I ran too! He wanted me to grow up to be very strong and had me do all sorts of crazy things. Of course, kids have it easier nowaday, it ain't like the old days...

Logged off with your shaman for the last time?! NOOOO! We'll miss you Ghorface! You got me hooked to exploration and damn you're an explorer I'll remember. /salute

Disappointing but still doable. We don't just sit around yipping and doing WPvP events y'know. All this shouldn't be a problem.

Ah, I remembered one more thing. IC guild chat. Seriously, I want some sense to it. I got to have an excuse to think of scouts deep in enemy territory reporting directly to the Chieftain as anything else than meta-gaming. =/ This could be shamanism (some sort of "power center" that connects us?), engineering nonsense or we could nerf it to an around the campfire thing. Which means no scouts reporting while in enemy territory of course.

And on the topic of banners! As of writing this, my Trial of the Champion has unlocked and I'll finally be able to get an orgrimmar banner. So I hereby proclaim myself BANNERMASTER of the Tribe. I shall keep us always at 100% banner efficiency! I SHALL PLANT A BANNER WHENEVER IT IS OFF COOLDOWN, OUR BANNERS WILL FLOOD THE WORLD!

Lets start off with the bad 'cos I'm a bastard like that. The only thing I can of in that regard is the lack of proper...how should I say it...interactivity? We need orcs to bond more easily than now. And more importantly we need orcs to take the initiative about things. From Garm's little talk with Koz I've come to think that's one of our aims. Now how to make that happen? The tutoring part was a good choice to make sure there's some bondin' between orcs but we need more than that. And it does little for inspiring initiative. My idea is this. Every once in a while, when there's no wars to be taken care of for example, the tribe can freely arrange itself into large or small groups. The goal of these groups is kind of sandbox. The idea is that they'll be able to travel wherever they want and do whatever they want. They could simply get to know each other and relax or they could strive to do great deeds for the tribe. Whatever they choose there should be bonding for sure. And these groups shouldn't just be led by someone high ranked. Everyone will be able to take the initiative for everything. People would like the group to get SOMEWHERE so they'll feel they should do something to make it happen.

I can't think of any other bad things right now except maybe the lack of proper use of tactics in battle. The battles in Ghostlands were mostly just rushing about head on. But just one event is probably not enough for me to judge something and that's not exactly a "tribe thing" but a "war thing."

Lets move on to the good. Alright this is a bit harder since everything else is good. The RP focus as already mentioned does wonders. But perhaps we could make it just a little bit more attractive? Not sure how. I know I strut about on our RP focus whenever I can tho'. There's very frequent events which is great. Oh, I know about the RP focus! We can have different tasks about reinforcing the place or doing something in the nearby lands! Right back to the other stuff. Hmm. Best moments with the Tribe must be when we charge into the enemy with worgs.

That's pretty much all. Oh! And! Need more BANNERS.

Me and the Chieftain have discussed the possibility of large campaigns all over a set number of zones with an interactive world and the need for strategy and whatnot. There's a thread on the DB RP forums with all the little details so go on ahead and share your thoughts there!

Awesome^2

(( A dramatic end to her life. Really liked having Ulah around, I did. Now I be looking forward to this new plot thing as well! ))

Mm good of you to do a lil' encouragement Rarg. I'll jump on the bandwagon with much apologies for my short attention span and of course much thanks to Koz for his awesome leadership.
