Damiana accepts no responsiblity for any resembles to DV members. this is a story written about how I have experianced the following and what it is like too be a Raid Leader
the characters in the imaginary guild:
John: John is a person that has fun in the game and against all his wishes became raidleader eventhough he didnt want the job he somehow got stuck with it due to him actually being the right guy for the job.
Lisa: the only female in guild that is also a lesbian and really doesnt know how to deal with all the attention she is getting from all the guys.
Bob: Bob is a person of simple needs, he MT's for the guild and generally keeps his mouth shut is very to the point in his ventrilo speech.
Eddie: Eddie plays a rogue his favorite and only required addon is atlasloot... he is 16 years old and acts very much his age.
Richard: richard is a perfect raider, knows his tactics, is most likely the best warlock you will ever meet, doesnt say anything in guild or in raid. tops the dmg meters, most people think richard doesnt speak english yet if you sign on 3 hours post raid you will find richard having a long discussion with John about tactics and how the rest of the casters could do better.
Matt: like richard is quiet but is known to speak in raid and guild, matt plays a priest and heals, and is a healer through and through
19 others with similar yet slightly different personalities then the ones mentioned above.
