Greetings! Cynicism here and before you ask, yes, the name is appropriate. I didn’t look up a random word in a dictionary and come across it like some people you see in game who have a name that looks cool but probably means ‘Sanitary Towel’ in Swahili. I’m here to write about the world-class raiding community from a personal point of view as most people have become tired of being curled in the foetal position in a darkened corner while I rant. Hopefully you will enjoy this rather mild introduction to these articles and will be prompted to read the next ones as they come out. Please be assured that it will most likely only get worse as it goes on so have a stiff drink at the ready and let us begin!

GotF: Outlaws Torn
Once again due to my never decreasing workload GotF comes to you a tad late! But lets not worry about such technicalities and enjoy this fortnights featured guild Outlaws Torn.
I want to take this opportunity to encourage all Guilds out there to put up your guild listings by filling in our guild listings form remember to tick the magic box at the bottom to be featured as our Guild of the Fortnight!
The Soapbox: Messy Guild banks
Nothing makes me convulse with anger more than an untidy Guild bank, 50 tries on a new boss fine, an epic fail in Wintergrasp fine, a FAILPUG fine, all of these I can handle with supreme tolerance, but put me face to face with a messy Guild bank and my neurons go sparko, my psycho side comes out and you may fine me in Elwynn incinerating cows for the fun of it, screaming WHYYYYYYY.
GotF: Muted
Muted from the Alliance side feature as Emerald Dreamers Guild of the Fortnight, providing facts about the Guild and tales of hilarious wipes, I would like to introduce you all to the Guild Master Dottz.
GotF: The Firm
Horde side graces us with it’s presence for this instalment of Guild of the Fortnight (although it’s been more like Guild of the Month!) I would like to introduce you all to the GM and Officers of <The Firm> who have done a snazzy group interview for Emerald Dreamers.
I want to take this opportunity to encourage all you Horde Guilds out there to put up your guild listings by filling in our guild listings form remember to tick the magic box at the bottom to be featured as our Guild of the Fortnight!
The Soapbox: More New Guilds
Reading the guild management forums or sitting in trade for more than 3 seconds both give the same impression; people just love to make new guilds! Why is this? Why do people insist on forming guilds when there are so many around in the first place? And why, above all, are they so bad at it?
Your new guild will in all likelihood be disbanded by this time next month. Don’t you have any shame?
Famous for 5 Minutes: Monava
There are some very well known WoW-based studies out there, and we’ve probably all filled in at least one poll or questionnaire about our favourite pastime. There are reports on our avatar choices, our “addictions”, our online relationships and a lot else besides.
What you may not know is that we’re harbouring one of these research types on our very own realm. Not one of those reactionary negative types we hear so much about, but someone who genuinely enjoys the game and just happens to have an opportunity to delve a little deeper. I present to you…Monava.
