Okay, everyone who doesn't like World of Warcraft or meta has just wandered into the wrong diary. Thank you for playing.
For those of you that don't know what World of Warcraft is, it's the largest Massively MultiPlayer Online Role-Playing Game, with over eleven million subscribers.
Here they explain what it is much better than I can. I'll wait.
Okay, back? Good. Let's duck below the flip and I can continue explaining what the hell I'm talking about.
I've been talking back and forth with various other Kossacks about getting a guild together.
Don't get me wrong - I like Drenden, and my guildies in XllI are, in my humble opinion, some of the best people on the server.
But there is a small community of WoW players on Daily Kos, and a large community out there that we can contact.
I've always been a fan of nontraditional and online organizing - look at my Second Life diaries. I'm just saying we can organize in WoW too.
By getting together and forming a guild.
We'll be having a lot of newbies and we'll probably be rerolling, so I strongly suggest a PvE server.
We'll do this the easy way. I've put up faction preferences in the poll. Please vote for a server in the comments. We'll roll characters on whichever server gets the most mentions, on whichever faction gets the most votes.
Saturday morning I'll write a follow up diary where we can list character names and get the guild together.
See you in Azeroth!

Update [2009-3-31 23:45:27 by Moody Loner]:
Okay, I'm calling it here. Looks like we'll be rolling Horde on Proudmoore. Let's haqve Whisperwind as our backup if we can't work out Proudmoore for some reason.
I'll start twittering and emailing.
Update [2009-4-1 17:22:6 by Moody Loner]: Proudmoore is full. Whisperwind has a 4:1 Ally:Horde ratio. At this diary I put up another poll, which overwhelmingly went Moody's fiat, so I'm saying a low/medium PvE Horde-advandaged server, Garrosh.
