Hey, I won't be able to make it on mumble around raid time, for I will be at work. I will try to hop on mumble on my phone or something for a few minutes to listen in but I wouldn't say it is likely to happen.

If we are voting on whether or not to go over, I will have to cast it as a No.

If you care to see my reasoning behind my decision read what I have written below.

I will be making this a bit long, as this is a huge decision for the guild as a whole to make, we have done this once before in my tenure with this guild, and it has worked out as a complete success in my mind (The goal of the merger between Strife and Doomsday was to create a 25 man Heroic raiding environment in which we would be able to kill Garrosh. A feat we did accomplish many many times.). This merge was done Horde side which is significantly less risky comparatively.

This time around, I had talked with Adachar and Merphy the most about the guild merge, I can't help but feel there was some sugar coating involved I felt much more comfortable the days prior to when you had talked about it on Tuesday, but after you had said that Lyndis would be in the core group while Zodiac, and I would be on the bench I started to have my doubts.

There are a few things that add up to make my decision on the matter which are; Seeing less play time, I love to raid. Being benched really gets me down. The Uncertainty of the future, we could be benched forever potentially 2 or so Discord members getting a core spot, which leads into another issue of if the merge doesn't work out well and we want to abandon ship, it could mean a lot of tough times ahead if we try to stay together as a group.


Lyndis, Zodiac and I play this game to raid together without that we would most likely all quit due to lack of interest. I hate to say things like this because I'm not a fan of package deals but I guess really thats what we are to some extent. In our current predicament, I get sat every now and then, it isn't a big deal and I understand why most of the time, but if we merge with poisoned getting sat would pretty much mean you aren't raiding for the week which no matter the progression just isn't fun for the three of us.

With that being said if the merger doesn't happen I feel I should elaborate a little bit on some things bare with me because I feel the need to say it, I haven't actually sit down and said anything to you or Kam one on one, largely due to my feeling quite a bit intimidated.

I had started playing WoW in wrath with Paper and Lyndis. anytime I had seen Doomsday people I was awestruck, you guys were killing bosses and downing raids in weeks what took us months. To me you guys were what I wished I could be doing, at the time I was 16 and really new to the game :).

I quit in Cata due to school and came back in MoP when I got pressured by Lyndis and Paper, I heard Paper got into Doomsday which blew my mind pretty much. My sole mission from the time I came back was to get into Doomsday as a raider, I wanted to play at the absolute highest level this server had to offer and that was to get in your guild, a goal which I had succeeded in doing and couldn't be happier.

I feel I owe a lot to this guild for letting me in and really letting me show what I have to offer, and feel I have more improving to do yet. I was lackluster in Highmaul, but at that time I was losing interest in the game because I didn't like WoD, but BrF came out and lit a fire under my ass. I'm doing all that I can to get better and I won't ever be comfortable until I feel I did everything in my power to reach even higher levels of playing.

I'm here to stay man, I don't want this merge to happen, we can figure out our issues, if that means re rolling some players to become healers and tanks or what not so be it, we can sacrifice some time and progress through mythic at a slower pace then some other guilds, get our shit together and really fuck up the next tier.



I really would like to thank you for allowing me in this guild I sincerely appreciate it and this guild means a lot to me, with the reasons above that I have stated I do not feel like it is a good idea to merge with poisoned.

Thanks again, and sorry for the long message.
