Announcing: Night Owl Raid Group (NORG)
"The early bird can have the worm; it's not epic enough for us."
For the record, this is not a Trimmer thing. This is a Kardinal thing cuz I just felt like I haven't been able to do cool things because of my schedule. I take responsibility for organizing and leading it, but I hope it's going to be informal, casual, and fun.
There are almost certainly people out there who can't group, much less raid, until later at night. So we could use a group to do Heroics, and later Raid, regularly on our schedule.
If you identify with these principles, the NORG might be for you.
1) Would like to raid between 10pm and 2am Eastern time. Ish. Times are somewhat flexible.
2) Interested in 10-man content primarily, not 25-man content. This may be flexible later on, but the focus is not 25-man. VoA would be an exception I can think of immediately.
3) Willing to be on TeamSpeak or Ventrillo for every raid, both able to speak and hear, and not interested in hearing cursing, racist, sexist, political, religious, or any other controversial comments on it.
4) Dedicated to showing up for the raid on time, fully prepared to raid, fully repaired, with buff food, flasks, and already having studied the encounter.
5) Interested in a loot council or loot list manner of loot distribution.
6) Enjoy a casual atmosphere as long as the above are met. That is, we will not be casual about being on time or being prepared or having read up on the fight in advance. We will be casual about making funny comments during the raid, not berating people for failures, and generally laughing a lot while we kick tail.
7) Not interested in a hardcore progression raid. If that's for you, that's not what NORG is about.
8) Aversion to drama. Everyone has a real life which is much more important than WoW. We gots no time for drama. If drama rears its ugly head, we will try to resolve it quickly, but if isn't resolved quickly, the cause of the drama will simply not be invited to join us anymore. This includes loot drama, late drama, unprepared drama, personality conflicts, rude behavior, and general asshatery.
If this sounds like you, let me know. Best way to contact me is email me at jeff - stevens net, which is my first name at my last name period net. Or contact me in game. Or PM me here.
Some administrative details:
We will host our events on a RaidNinja somewhere, or maybe on Calendar in game. I haven't worked out which forums to host it on, but it would be best to find somewhere neutral where everyone has an account already. I know I hate making a new account for every forum under the sun.
We'll work out among us what are good times for Heroics and Raids once we see who's signed up and what nights are good for them.
We'll work out who will play what roles (MT, OT, healers, DPS, etc) based on who signs up.
I think I'm going to try using the Loot Council web site, http://loot-council.appspot.com/, to allocate loot. It will be modified by attendance and veteran status in the group, though.
Anyway, comments are welcome on this thread, as well as postings of interest in joining us.
