So, after some bad experiences on TK today (yesterday more like it lol) with my guild, mainly due to people not focusing and not taking the run seriously, i started doing some BG's fury spec'ed (17/44 with Piercing Howl, i know it's not the best PvE spec, but i make it work :P). And then i started to think: "Why not make a 3v3 as Kaz did, if it worked for him, why not me? ".

After a couple of minutes of watching my gear setup to maximize PvP stats, i started asking around....

As mentioned in my previous entry, it's time for introductions!

I am Turkson, a paladin tank for a guild on Bronzebeard. You can armory to your heart's content, but I'm Ret for the moment.

I started playing WoW in March of 2006, and apart for a unavoidable 7 month hiatus, have played most everyday.

I have two 70's, Turkson and my fury warrior, Victria, also on Bronzebeard.

I recently was honorable discharged from the Marine Corps after...

The theorycrafting behind it was easy, the execution went well, but it was getting 25 people to show up that gave us the largest problem.

We had 6 no-shows, one disconnect, and one...

As many of you know, I’ve suffered much distress about my guild situation as of late. I essentially dissolved the last guild I was in (Unite & Conquer), left two others, and eventually made my own in a fearless attempt at pioneering the uncharted waters of guild leadership. I don’t consider myself to be a natural-born leader (or even a good leader, at that), but I know how to bring people together and to open up avenues of communication.

That, if nothing else, has held my guild...
