Terenas Friday, February 3

This is actually something that worries me some.  I know at least once in the scholo run Diesirae said something along the lines of "sure, we can bring you along".  Which to me sounds alot like them being the big brother and us being the little brother they allow to tag along.  Then you look at UBRS where we provide 2-3 and they provide the rest and it kind of goes with that idea as well.  I'm pretty sure people have said in some other threads that we are looking for equal sized guilds so that things can be more even and there isn't anybody just tagging along.  So I'm not sure that the situation with Synergy really matches what we are looking for at this time.  It almost seems to me that it would be better to focus on the Lost Souls alliance for now.  They seem to be more the right size for us.  Course thats just my opinion.  Others may feel like things are fine with Synergy.  I do know that half the reason I log in is to play with Lurkers and so I'm feeling some worry here that things are going to get to where I log in and there are so many non-lurkers in the group that it just doesn't feel the same.

I think that postponing a run with Synergy is a good thing. I was not aware of any inequality statements from them, but I also wasn't on the run. I would like to see a Zul'Gurub run scheduled for a week from this Friday with Synergy, with 10 roster slots per guild. That should maintain guild balance, and it isn't a "big brother" sort of situation. Also, 5 from LS and 10 Lurkers is a full UBRS party, with a very good chance of success. One of our positions of power, to be sure we aren't swept away into another guild, is that there are few guilds that can bring 10 players as skilled and cohesive as the Lurkers. Even if we don't know an encounter, we're all pretty good at following instructions. We also have MC, ZG, BWL experienced players. Even Diesirae admitted that some of the Synergy recruits are disappointing as far as quality goes, so I don't see there being too much inequality there, especially after they get more familiar with us. But, an introduction to each other would be better done in more balanced surroundings.

(Summary, for those that got lost in the ramble: I suggest UBRS with Lost Souls this Friday, ZG with Synergy next Friday.)
