DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 54, Guild Drama Part 2, Drama Llama

Lessah — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 04:52:00 GMT

Welcome to the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited. This week we continue with the discussion of Guild Drama!

So listen in as they dig deep into the heart of the culture climate that is guild socialization! Thanks so much for listening!

Guild Drama

1.) Obligations of Leadership (When your game becomes your job..)

- Enforcing Guild Rules/ Rules Lawyers/ mediating fights between guild members, guildies refusing to group with one another over personality issues.

2.) Baby mama Drama (It happens)

When Guilds implode due to in game flirting translating into real life affairs between members.

3.) The Drama Llama

When in-game/ in-guild arguments spill onto your Guild forums... or WORSE... the GAME Forums. Mortification and flame wars and hurt feelings ensue!

Articles: Life as a Guild Leader

Quotes (thanks to Zaught)

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the
silence of our friends.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Guilds increase the potential for fun, but also increase how much
drama may affect your game - because you actually may care about the
other person's opinion.

Warning: This show may contain slightly offensive content (not language, but the honesty is kinda intense). Take it with a grain of salt!

Welcome to the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited. You don’t get any more social than being in a guild (or several guilds in Lessah’s case). Between our hosts, they have pretty much seen it all or heard it all, or done it all in the way of guild drama. So listen in as they dig deep into the heart of the culture climate that is guild socialization! Thanks so much for listening!
