High Lemmings round of March!

It's time to send in your nominees for High Lemmings!

High Lemmings are people in the guild that have been in the guild for a while and have shown they embody Lemming attitude (helpfulness, improvisation in the face of a challenge, friendlyness, being considerate of other people's feelings), people that are an inspiration and example to everyone in the guild, who help make our community what it is. As a reward they get a funky High Lemming rank, to proudly display on the guild roster, and they will be able to comment on our new recruit applications, enabling them to directly shape our guild's atmosphere in the future.

You can PM me or whisper me ingame. I will then write down all mentions and will discuss them with the officers! Please send in your nominees before Thursday, 11th of March. You can get inspiration of who is not a High Lemming yet on this page. Smile

So you want to be a raidleader?

Always imagined yourself as a raid leader? Interested in helping your guild as masterlooter? We want to give you the opportunity to show us your talent Smile

For raid leaders we are looking for lemmings that:
- have a certain kind of seniority within the guild (having at least the rank of lemming within the guild)
- know how to positively motivate the group they lead
- are patient and communicative about problems with guild leadership

For masterlooters we are looking for lemmings that know how to take on responsibility, and will study/apply our loot rules as best as they can by installing the ClassLoot/Loothog addons and keeping themselves updated on all loot related discussions within the guild. Smile

Please whisper any of the officers if you'd like to give either tasks a go! We won't send you off into the deep end but make sure there's always an officer or experienced raidleader/masterlooter present to answer questions and help Smile

Back as guildleader: new year's resolutions!

Hi everyone,

taking back the reigns today as guildleader fills me with Lemming guild pride Wink I'm very happy to be back and I hope to make 2010 the best Lemmings of the Light year yet! This is what you can expect from me:

- As I already hinted at in guildchat, I will be posting some threads opening the floor to some discussion about the way the guild is run. We'll start with that in the new year, with the first thread on friday.
- Some earlier raiding. Oranjeboom opened up a thread last week about the possibility of starting raids a little earlier, and I'm going to do my best to help him be/stay involved. If you have a problem we could possibly solve, let us know!
- Some more lighthearted fun events to get to know eachother better, and have a little adventuring around the world of WoW. We'll investigate wether people enjoy these and adapt to what people like to do most (stay tuned for a poll).

High Lemmings round October!

With the holidays behind us and temperatures eh.. declining, it's time for our first post-summer High Lemmings nomination round.

So, it's time to send in your nominees! PM me, whisper me. I write down all mentions and will discuss them with the officers for the final cut. Please send in nominees before Tuesday, 20 October. You can get inspiration of who is not a High Lemming yet on this page.

Ehm.. I haven't been in Lemmings that long yet, what are High Lemmings?

High Lemmings are people in the guild that have been in the guild for a while and shown they embody Lemming attitude (helpfulness, improvisation in the face of a challenge, friendlyness, being considerate of other people's feelings), people that are an inspiration and example to everyone in the guild, who help make our community what it is. As a reward they get a funky High Lemming rank, to proudly display on the guild roster, and they will be able to comment on our new recruit applications, enabling them to directly shape our guild's atmosphere in the future.

Please note that the High Lemmings nomination round is not a popularity contest, so being mentioned a lot doesn't automatically grant you the High Lemming rank. But it is a way for you to open our eyes on who we might be underestimating.

Raiding poll (yet again!)

As you may have noticed, lately we've been struggling with getting signups for our raids. To find out why, and what we can do about it, we have posted a poll on our website. Please check it out here and help us keep you entertained!

The poll itself, overall results and comments are visible to guildies only. The individual votes are visible to officers only.

If for some reason you don't want to fill in the poll, you can pm me your answer instead. If you have any additional remarks or questions, feel free to pm me as well.

Raiding days poll

Right now the standard Lemmings raid week is Wednesday-Monday-Tuesday for our main raid, with Thursday and Friday as alternative days/fun runs, and Saturday/Sunday free.

Because we have quite a lot of new guildies and the new academic year has started, I want to make a quick check to see if these raid days will still be best for organising events, or a change might be in order!

Please go here to fill in the poll: http://lemmings-of-the-light.net/forums?c=showthread&ThreadID=1967

Lemmings in summer holidays

For a lot of guilds, the summer holidays mean a break period in raiding, caused by a lull in signups. Just to refresh everyone's memory, in "tough" periods like these we have been helped in the past by our Guild Friendship programme! Smile So ask your friends Wink

Everyone that is interested in raiding with Lemmings - and that subscribes to a few rules (gear level, attitude) can fill in a Guild Friend application on our website. Being a guild friend means that an individual can sign up for our raids, helping us to make runs go ahead, and them to perhaps get some raiding action in the holiday season. whose guilds are issuing a holiday season and might want to have the option for signing up with another established group. It's not meant to poach people (making other guilds' raids harder, that's not what we're about), but it has helped introduce some people to the Lemming way. Plus you know the Wilgje is all about PR Wink

As member of Lemmings you will be able to see guild friendship applications. We're much pickier with our guild applications (as being a guild friend is more of a 'deal' made between individuals and Lemmings for mutual benefit), which is why we leave the guild application reviewing to guildies ranked High Lemmings and up, but for guild friends we just want to run the names by you so you can say, "omg I was in a pug with this dude he's horrible!!!" or "wow this person is awesome". If someone doesn't get any bad comments, we make them an account on our website and we try things out. Smile

Events in the upcoming few weeks!

Tonight, some questing for those that wish to explore City of Heroes with Joesnow. Just to explore another online world! Smile

Friday, we'll go back to Ulduar, or to Eye of Eternity, depending on the sign-ups, and what everyone wants to do. We can still use some signups to make this run go ahead. Smile

As always, the weekend will be a bit quieter, so we haven't put anything into the calendar. And finally on monday we'll go to Naxxramas to get some more upgrades for old and newer guildies! Please sign up if you want to come with Smile

If you have ideas for fun events, or old raid content, don't hesitate but get in touch with me, an officer, ingame or through the site, or in the comments here. We're a bit short-staffed as new guildies are levelling and the officers are a bit busy but we will do our best to make things happen! Smile

High Lemmings round June!

Last time, we decided to push the next high lemming nomination round to July.. but I've gotten some positive feedback about quite a few guildies, and in this last week we have seen a new side from some.

So, it's time to send in your nominees! Smile Pm me, whisper me. I write down all mentions and will discuss them with the officers for the final cut. Smile Please send in nominees before friday, the 29th of may. You can get inspiration of who is not a high lemming yet on this page.

Psst.. I haven't been in Lemmings that long yet, what are High Lemmings?

High Lemmings round april, PR group

With the difficult announcement below out of the way Wink it's time for the April High Lemmings nomination round!

High Lemmings are people that are active on the website, who have been very helpful to guildies, and people that contribute to a good atmosphere in one way or another. In general, an example to us all Smile People who are promoted to High Lemming not only get a funky title but will also gain the priviledge of commenting on guild applications, so they will have an influence on future guild atmosphere as well! Nomination rounds are announced every two months or so, in which you can submit a nomination or two for guildies that deserve a promotion to this rank. Current list here.

Please PM your nomination to Wilgje, or send a tell/mail ingame. We will gather all nominations and then decide from them who gets promoted Smile

We have also recently lost Sheebah, one of our most active PR-group members, to greener pastures Smile So if anyone wants to join the "fun event organising" team, just comment on this post and you're in! Smile

Lemmings 4 year event!

Psstpsst Smile It just occured to me as I updated my 'how to get groups together' post that I know a *lot* of guildleaders on the server - and on april 1st, Lemmings of the Light celebrates their 4th birthday! Laughing out loud Time to cash in on those contacts Wink

So, how about we organise a MASSIVE event where we invite every guild we ever met Wink I don't know quite what kind of activity to organise - a jump from Twin Colossals with a huge amount of people would be funny and accessible to alliance as well as horde - but I'm also open to other suggestions Wink I'm not posting this in the PR forum by high exception because this concerns all of us Smile

A huge parade to some place, a picnic around Naxxramas and/or other raid instances where we provide cakes and food things before general server raid time could also be fun.
I'm also thinking perhaps a contest where we quiz the server, and the answers to the various questions make up a sentence- and when people whisper that sentence to a lemming, they win a gem or a prairiedog whistle Wink

Lemmings & Raiding before patch 3.1

This week, we're still running Naxxramas with two raid groups, with a scheduled Eye of Eternity run this upcoming monday (march 23rd), and the week after, we want to try and clear Naxxramas in heroic mode by organising not one, but *two* 25-man runs (exact days will be announced).

The organisation of these runs comes from a desire to clear Eye of Eternity before 3.1 (according to a GM I talked to, we will have ample time for this), and have gotten the key for the Heroic version so we may go back to that after the patch. Smile But we would like to know: what are *your* goals before patchday?

Tell us your personal character wishes, as well as guild desires!

Raiding poll :)

After a misunderstanding with one of our guildies, we thought it important to investigate where the guild currently stands with regards to roles. Consider this a follow-up of the poll we posted 6 weeks ago, where we asked you what class you would be levelling first. For some people, things may have changed (I know they have for me! Smile ), and it would really help our decisionmaking process if you'd let us know by way of this poll.

Also, we hope to open a second group for Naxxramas in january. Pre-Wrath of the Lich King, we would have one group run wednesdays and fridays, and the other group thursdays and tuesdays - with tanks committing to the same team weekly to introduce a little stability into the groups. It would help us if, when you're interested in raiding with Lemmings, you comment to this post with answers to the following Smile

- Days I can play:
- Days I can't play:
- If we would go to wednesday/friday or thursday/tuesday 'groups', I'm most likely to sign up on:

Thanks!
