Good day to you all! Your Friendly neighborhood Smitty here!
NOTHING to worry about here. I'll just nip that in the bud! :) But I am removing my Friday Night Reset Madness event from the calendar. I think it is time for us to either let someone else command, or break up into smaller groups! (Also, I'm a bit burnt out on Reset!)
Little history... It was before the second WvWvW Tournament that I offered to help command GSCH on Friday nights. It was hard being a relatively new commander. Sanctum of Rall had taken some hits by losing guilds after the first Tournament when we began our decline from first place. I came in and helped as best I could. There were tough meetings in TeamSpeak, and there wasn't anyone rallying the troops on Friday nights under one event. So I started the Server Reset Madness. It went well for a time. There was hope going in to the second tournament. Then we lost again. It was heartbreaking, and it caused a second exodus that landed us at the bottom of the ladder. There weren't many commanders on at all for the server, so the ones who still remained shouldered the load, myself included. We all worked hard and brought in new players, new guilds and have gotten ourselves back to a serviceable group of players! HUZZAH! But for those of us who stuck it out through the bad times, it really put a strain on us.
So, coming to today, I'd like to hand over the reigns to some one else just for reset night. It should be a night where we all help each other with the skills that we have learned coming back from last place!
It would be my pleasure to fight with out all on Rest Night and continue commanding my Tuesday night Sabres! Keep an eye out for a PvE event from me at some point in the future!
Good luck, and happy hunting!
