This hasn't been updated for Wotlk, but this is some of the best reading I've seen in a while. Especially funny now that we are into progression again

LoL Tony... The Raid Leader - When you stand in the flames, he dies a little bit inside.

The Loudmouth

This is the guy who will not shut up on vent. Ever. It doesn't matter if you are buffing up or farming trash or killing a progression boss, he just can't seem to get the idea through his head that nobody really gives a damn about his buddy's new iguana. At least 50% of everything said on your vent in a given raid is said by this person. Nobody can stand the guy, but unfortunately, nobody wants to kick him either, because he's invariably one of your best and most dedicated players. Possibly even a solid candidate to be an officer, if everybody weren't so terrified of what might happen if the guy had justification to talk even more.

Replace 'iguana' with 'chinchilla'

Also, I'm a combination of:

The Warlock Whisperer

Directionally challenged. Despite having run Karazhan 1.26 million times, will require a summon to Maiden's room from the entrance. Has a "summon pls" macro. Strangely, is good at moving away from volcanoes. See (you guessed it) Stoners.

And

Mister Lucky Bastard

This is the guy who managed to be the only representative of his class that night for whatever reason and THAT'S the night every boss drops his class's loot. Usually followed by a marked dropoff in raid attendance afterwards. Most commonly a Rogue.

Well, I used to be Mister Lucky Bastard... my first two/three weeks. :D

oh and for all you old riffers...

The Drunks

The core of your guild. As raid progresses, their voices in vent are getting just ever so slightly slurred. You don’t notice because you’re trying to sound sober yourself. DPS output seems to scale positively with blood alcohol content

Devo, Miri, and Gorrar lol. With Gorrar's girlfriend dying in the background in vent cause she's so wasted during some TK run.



The Negative Officer

“Jesus Christ why are there corpses under all these goddamn volcanoes? It’s Supremus for %@*@s’s sake. GET OUT OF THE GODDAMN FLAME!” See drunks, below

is def Gorrar...
and Tony that one night in Naxx where he was all grumpy and PMSing

I've been too many of them.... let's see. Just a first pass mind you!

The Negative Officer
“Jesus Christ why are there corpses under all these goddamn volcanoes? It’s Supremus for %@*@s’s sake. GET OUT OF THE GODDAMN FLAME!” See drunks, below.

Stratman
Has read every strategy on the entire internet for every boss. Unable to think critically. Knows where his talk key is. Hated by the officers. Likely to play a hunter or mage. If this is also Chick With Accent, below, guild will probably collapse.

Mr. We're Not Gonna Do It
The player that says we can't do it after four attempts. Each attempt got you 15% closer to winning, but each attempt got Mr. Glass Half-Empty 15 decibles louder in voicing their discontent of repair bills and how impossible the encounter is without certain gear/raid make-up.

The Nostalgic Guy
Long-time member of the guild. Constantly talks about how "they used to do things back in Molten Core". Hardly ever participates in raiding anymore, though the officers refuse to kick him, because, hey, he's cool.

When was the last time an iguana was mentioned in /g ? Everything in /g is about those darned adorable chincillas. :D

with a slight revision


The Over-confident Shadowpriest

Always runs into trash mobs and attempts to tank with Power Word:Shield and Vampiric Embrace, often making a point to get as much aggro as possible on bosses. Will complain about not getting heals when he dies. Is a major source behind wipes.

just ask my tank at the time... baba

dremic in BT you were totally the The AFK guy

Goes afk at random intervals, commonly before boss fights, oftentimes not notifying the raid, or typing /afk. Is likely a tank or healer. Is a major source of wipes.

AWW i miss being :

The Scary Caster - Plays a mage or a warlock. He rarely speaks. If he's Alliance, he'll be a Human or Draenei. If he's Horde, he'll be a Forsaken. You've never seen him die, and you've never seen him anywhere but the top of the DPS meter, somehow managing to never draw aggro. He's a great player. He also hates you, prima donnas, and possibly the entire guild. Holds onto grudges indefinitely. (gotta forget the never seen him die part though :P)

Mr. Mikeless - Has a microphone, though claims not to, he hears the conversation and directions. Once wiped the raid because he started talking and most folks alt-tabbed to see who the hell was speaking. May be your best player.

95% Raider - This guy usually is on his game, though occasionally he will do extraordinarily stupid things that will make you question whether or not he's at his keys. Symptoms include attempting to sap a mob without being stealthed, blinking into Aran's room (causing a wipe), not having Righteous Fury up while tanking, and/or Soulstoning themselves instead of the indicated target. Headache of the The Raid Leader, often a drunk or stoner.

and especially

Mister Lucky Bastard (hell this was me for almost a year :P) - This is the guy who managed to be the only representative of his class that night for whatever reason and THAT'S the night every boss drops his class's loot. Usually followed by a marked dropoff in raid attendance afterwards. Most commonly a Rogue. (bah rogue F-that Mage FTW)


wish i was the jk jk

Departed Legend - You joined after he left. You suspect that he could not actually solo Doomwalker, but you're not totally sure.
