This popped up on the shaman forums as well, with the addition of:

The Guy Who Runs the Guild- He’s been here a long time. Like forever. He’s an officer if he accepted the position. He knows all the gossip and understands the politics. For the love of God, don’t make this guy decide that you are hurting the guild. The last GM did.

Once a long time ago on another server I ended up unexpectedly being the ‘Heir Apparent’. Ritual suicide WOULD have been more pleasant.

We had a backbone (dc’ed on Chromag, held aggro, survived through the enrage, then reconnected during loot). Now he’s one of the most devout with me (he’s the ele, I’m the enhance).

I seem to bounce between the negative and positive officer. Mostly it’s whether our main RL is on, then I’m the positive officer to piss him off. (Zomg, longstanding senior officer/main RL feud! dramadramadrama)

I think I have a lifetime membership to the drunks though. We even had that channel too. For us it was /join peoplehates. In honor of our main (and, sadly, worst) RL, who’d made no attempts to hide the fact that he’d replace the lot of us if he could (which he couldn’t since a) half of us were officers and b) we were more well liked than he was).

Oh this is so funny…

We have a accent, but it is male… 😛 Still makes most the people go gaga… 🙂

I dunno… I am the raid leader/MT/positive officer/ and the guy who talks alot… 😛

We do have a Backbone in our guild though… and he is the MT for the other raid… 🙂

@Stala,

The negative officer, of course. Without the authority. Giving me access to the /gkick command would be a very bad idea.

Our drunks have a channel similar to the stoners above. Only the most professional alcohol abusers in the guild get an invite to /join snark where everyone’s performance is up for our review.

i could have written that summary.
My guild used to have pretty much all of them except for the drunks. After some trouble with a clique of 3 who played in a lan and got drunk together every raid we kinda clampled down on that (coincidentally we had more stoners ever after).
our backbone tanked Golemag through 3 disconnects and 47% percent once without loosing aggro. i’ve never found another tank like him (sadly he changed to nightshift at some point after Naxx).

Lono: you could probably arrange these into a sort of “Main Sequence” of guild roles. It’s doubly appropriate, since it ends in either a violent explosion or a quiet burnout for guildies and for stars…

In fact I see a sort of evolution/regression when I look at the players I know, myself for example:

-Stratman (I’m ashamed) –> positive officer –> raid leader –> negative officer –> drunk

I think we have every single one of those people in our raids. Good lord we’re doomed. Definitely gave me a laugh.

stereotypes are funny.
i’m none of them (female GM and not losing my sanity or turning to alcohol), but i recognize a lot of my guildies.
