My Retirement

[Calendar]

Hi Everyone,

As many of you know by now, I've been playing around with the idea of finally retiring my raid leader tabard once and for all.

This is something I have been communicating to the senior members of the Clan and of the raid. This post is simply to formalize my resignation.

It's been a terrific 3 year run! I've met tons of great personalities and awesome players. We've accomplished a great many achievements and have succeeded at conquering quite a few raids. From Karazhan to BT and from Naxx to ICC, I'm proud to have lead the bunch of you. Raids have always been my passion in this game and I thank you all for helping me pursue this endeavor.

My retirement is solely based on the fact that I want to concentrate on other things in my life right now. It's summer after-all and I want to take advantage of that. I have no regrets and I don't hold any grudges. This is not a "burnout", I sincerely think it is my time to move on. I am pleased with our progress in ICC and I am genuinely convinced we will conquer the Lich King together.

As for my position as Elder of Campaigns, I formally request that the council allow me to take my rightful place among the Longtooths of the Clan. I will watch over our band of merry clompers, but this resignation means that I will no longer be able to fully my duties as Elder.

Future Game Plans:

The plan is to drop out of the raid by the end of this month. I will hold my position until we formalize a plan to switch up the leadership. The likely candidate to take over is Kailand, but I wouldn't be oppose to considering someone else if they want to throw their name in the hat.

Lastly, I'm not going anywhere! I may be resigning from raid leading and dropping out of the raid, but I do not intend on quitting the game altogether. I'll still show my face once in a while and I'm sure I'll be going full force again once the expansion comes out (hell might even make another 10 man group). I feel bad letting go of my Elder position, but the reality is that lately I haven't done enough to warrant such a role. I need to do a bit of soul searching to figure out how best to serve my Clan and in what capacity I wish to do it.

Thanks for the many years of entertainment and the best of luck in your conquests.

Your former raid lead,

Zuworty & Cal

It's been fun with both Cal and Zuworty. Thank you for leading this band of monkeys over the years.

I think a lot of us, myself included, would like a little break between now and the coming expansion. I wouldn't be at all upset if the 25 man raid just kinda dissolved after all the raiders that are interested got a Lich King kill. We've come this far. I'd like to see us finish this instance.

Thank you for all the laughs that your "unique" personality have brought to the raid. I almost spit my drink all over the laptop last week when you called Kailand a Princess. *chuckles*

Safe journey to you. May your life be filled with barrels of Speckle Dust.

It's been fun having you as a raid leader over the years and glad to hear you won't be leaving the game for good!

Will you consider me tanking 10 man again in the expansion?

PS: I really was in the process of getting my gun permit last Wednesday, hope that's not the reason why that's canceled now!

You with a gun Orcala scares me ######less. This is why I don't cross the border, bunch of wackos!

And no, you getting a gun didn't make me cancel Wednesday. Working on LK for 9h a week made me cancel Wednesday

You've done a great job over the years Zu, I don't care what anybody says. And it's been a fun ride all the way, even back in the SSC/TK days when my little elf was but a starter offtank beside that big cow of yours, lol.

Hopefully you'll survive whatever random batsh*t real life has prepared. Do pop into TS post-retirement now & then to wish us luck!

Zu: Speckledust was one of my all-time favorite in-game moments. That and taking down Vashj. I'm so happy you let me share both of those experiences with you.

Orcala: While the big modern HK USP's are all the rage unless you are a certified Glockenspiel, your dainty little hands might be better off with a single stack. You'll be amazed what a slightly modded 1911 can do.

Don't worry about the kick from a .45, if you have better control over the weapon it will still be better then firing a 9 out of a weapon you can't grip well.

Who cares if you have 15+1 if you can't hit the target?

Even though I haven't raided since MC days, I do appreciate those in our guild that step up and take on the responsibility of herding the cats:)

Thanks for being a leader in that regard. *salute*
