Time to throw out some ideas for guild activities and when the best time would be to actually do them.
1.) Rated Battlegrounds - Currently scheduled for Sunday afternoons (other days as numbers permit)
This seemed to be the most popular one so I will run with this first. I would suggest that everyone who participates should AT LEAST be in a full crafted pvp set, if not full honor set. From the few matches I did play with the guild, it can be a bit rough, especially now that everything has been downgraded to 10v10 match ups. Do not take this as a "Let's be super serious" statement, just as a friendly bit of advice in the event you are curious why you get rolled before you even saw what happened (That one is probably more so directed at me :) ). Moral of the story: I won't dismiss you for gear, but I don't want to frustrate 9 others either.
2.) Mount Farming Raids (OS3D, Maly, Sarth, VoA...) - Currently scheduled for 7:15 server Sunday nights.
This has been my pet project for probably 5 or 6 months now. We started near the end of Wrath running OS3D 10m so people could score some black drakes. With the way Cataclysm is now, we can easily make a group designed for 10m OS and crush 25m OS3D. I would like to renew some interest in these runs, as attendance has been pretty lack luster the last month or so. At the very least, I'd like to ensure that at least one OS3D group runs weekly, so people who have been patiently waiting for their drake will get their day in the sun. I won't force you to show up, but please be courteous and help others get their drakes if you are fortunate to get yours.
This is a project I'd like to expand upon, though time has often been my enemy on this. I'd like to work on forming groups that are capable of working on 10m and 25m raid achievements. This would include any guild achievements, Glory of the X Raider achievements, and possibly Yogg+0 or H LK kills for Mimiron's Head or Invincible. I think we could have a blast doing some low stress raiding and improve our group synergy, or even just to have some fun and blow off steam. I have not determined a date that would be best for this sort of activity, though I would expect it to be likely on Sundays or Mondays.
4.) Alt Raids
I know a few people would love to get that 2nd or 3rd geared toon up and running, so there is always the option to form some alt raids. Even if it's just for a few fights in each of the raids, I am sure some people would love to get away from their main or experience a new side of an encounter they are pretty familiar with from one perspective. I expect these would happen on weekends or Monday nights as time permits.
5.) Oddball Stuff
We can always do stuff beyond what I listed here. If you have any ideas for other guild activities we can touch on, please contact myself, Wetcabbage, or Moremagic about your ideas. I'd love to get more feedback from the guild on what we can do together that isn't necessarily the 9 to 5 grind.
