The begining of all things wonderful.

I have never really understood the fixation people have thesedays with social networking sites, twitter, blogs and the like. I've always done by best to partition my life spent outside of the web and the time spent on it. More over, i've always thought the practice of sharing the intricacies of every day life with complete strangers was daft and somewhat baffling.

Yet here i am, gawping at my monitor and suffering with chronic writers block, having made the choice to blog about the running of a World of Warcraft guild, specificly a Re-Roll guild. There are many trials, tribulations and challenges involved in running any form of group or organisation. Ranging from advertising, recruiting and socialising, to discipline and management. The ongoing struggle expands when you feel the need to meet the most daring of expectations of your fellow members and how something so small as the uttering of the wrong phase, something said being taken out of context or making a difficult choice can upset such a delicate balance between order and chaos.

The blog that follows will take you deeper into the life of an officer in such a guild and an inside view into the mechanics behind maintaining order.
