"Ladies and Gentlemen...I have called this meeting to let you know that corporate has decided to make some changes, and there has been a reshuffling," said the VP of Horseshit, at my last job.

The Crew, just like any good organization must evolve to keep up with the times, and as such, I have made some changes and reorganized The Crew ranks to better reflect our status as a guild of 80s, rather than a guild which is waiting for most of its members to reach 80, which is what we were when I initially set up the ranks. Not much has actually changed.

Probies are still members that are brand new to the guild and any member under level 20.
The new rank of Leveling Crew is for any member between 20 and 80.
Once a toon reaches level 80 it will be promoted to Crew Member. Crew Members can remove 5 stacks per day, from each tab (except The Safe).
Crew Members, level 80 toons that get geared and prove themselves in raids and instances, will be promoted to Raiding Crew. Raiding Crew can remove up to 7 stacks per day, per tab (except The Safe).
Those members who are really lucky or unlucky depending on how you look at it, and prove themselves to be loyal, to a fault, and show good leadership will be promoted to Officer and their alts will be Officer Alts.
Any member crazy, er...um... committed enough to learn every fight in every instance and willing to die over and over again trying, and then willing to come and impart that knowledge to us will be promoted to the very difficult rank of Raid Leader.
Those members that, without which this guild would not be possible are promoted (forced to be) Captains.

All of this Guild minutia probably means very little to most of you, but it is the kind of thoughts like "our guild ranks don't accurately reflect the type of guild we are" that keeps UberGeeks like me up at night. Ultimately, nothing really changed -- Just like when my company did a Corporate Reorganization. The only person who cared was the CEO, and nothing really changed. Except this time, nobody has to do extra work to make up for production shortfall that the restructuring created.

Secondary Raid Group or Crew2
I am excited for this group to take shape. We kinda sorta started last night with an OS run that was toons new to OS and half vets. Grats to Iceflare, McGuiness, Tieghernan, and Darkwanderer of the OS achievement. We have two healers that are willing to join us. Our own priest Defibulator and a Wolfsknight has been in contact with a Resto Druid named Sumthing, that will commit to joining us once a week.

We have Delininja who is more than willing (chomping at the bit, really) to tank but we need a second.

What we really need to do it pick one night a week to raid with this group. Wednesday is our 10 man ULD group. I want to really nail down a time when everyone can make it. (Officers Note: please help me by telling folks, not in our regular raiding group such as Viz, Sturmtiger, Alissa, Abbigale, Greyatra, that we are forming this group and asking which night is best.) And if anyone knows anybody in game that you run with and enjoy playing with that wants to raid but can't in their guild or they are unguilded, (tanks especially) let them know we are forming this group. We can PUG holes. Thanks.

Please welcome Thedrew, an 80 Pally, and Onii, a 77 lvl Deathknight, to The Crew.
