I'm not sure yet if I'd be able to come or not, but I have some concerns about doing this:
If I can come on Tuesday and we only run one on Friday, so I get left out, that is suboptimal for my game time. I can stay up much later on Friday than I can on Tuesday, so I would rather choose a Friday run over a Tuesday run if I can.
Second, if the Tuesday run kills Attumen and we only field one raid on Friday, then the Friday folks never get shots at that loot - they only get to attempt Moroes or Maiden, and possible not get either. This is currently a concern because Attumen seems like a sure thing, and the others are not. If you say the Tuesday group will not do Attumen and attempt one of the other two, then actually win, the Friday folks that end up in that raid lock have missed out. Basically, if you actually make any progress on Tuesday, some of the Friday-only people have been locked out of seeing that encounter. Since (in general) I can probably only raid Friday on a regular basis, this is of concern to me.
Finally, the group makeup of Tuesday (as already mentioned) has to be carefully considered so that a second raid can start on Friday if we have enough people. If (as Conc suggests) we have only one Friday raid and it's mostly new people (not from Tuesday), that group doesn't get a "fresh" instance.
So, I've mixed feelings about doing this. On the one hand, I know that people want to make faster progress and see more. On the other hand, I feel like this may either a. make me feel like I have to try really hard to be available Tuesday to avoid missing stuff or b. feel left out because I can't make it (or didn't get in because of group make-up). The group make-up thing could really be a problem for me (personally) because of the "only two priests" thing. To field two solid Friday raids, we'd like to put one priest in each. So, if Necrali and I are both available on Tuesday, only one of us can go - unless we know we're only having one raid on Friday.
Darn this "only 10 slots, 7 day lock" issue. :(
