I'm pretty sure this is the best post ever. Expect some Enrique Iglasias during a raid in the near future.

Hey guys ;P, let me just take a moment of your time to tell you guyz an idea I had for my guild.
I proposed this awhile back for my guild, but I couldn't generate enough interest. You see, the problem it intended to fix was the attitude of the some of the guild members. Sometimes people would say mean and hurtful things to each other with vulgarities occasionally brought into the mix. I looked around and it brought a tear to my eyes to see my guild members torn, and our progress being hampered because of the meanness. Then, this idea came into my head, and I was like wow!, this could really fix everything, and we could all be friends again!
So, here's what I like to call Operation LoveRaid (hehe ;P):
When everybody zones into their raid, you need to hug every single person, and send them a unique compliment in tells (no using doubles!), sort of like toasting everybody at dinner! While you're buffing, make sure you have a smile on your face, because you're increasing the potential of your closest friends, and what is better than helping others? NOTHING =)! While you're fighting trash, just say to yourself, and announce over vent if you want to your fellow guildmates:
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
It makes trash go soooo much quicker, because everybody is so happy to here everybody loves each other, and its all such a wonderful experience! Now, when you get to a boss, tell everybody how much you love and care about them. Tell them how you don't want them to die, and that you couldn't live without them, and mean it. Give each other a hug and try not to cry because it can get pretty emotional, trust me. Here's where OLR (LOL Operation LoveRaid!) takes different paths:
1. You can wipe. I know, I'm sorry for being such a pessimist but it happens =(. When this happens, you need to tell your guildmates how sorry you are, how much you love them, and what you will do in the future to correct it. When you zone back into the instance, just take a moment with your guildmates to cry on each others' shoulders. Repeat the last step, and just let go of the past! Dwelling only builds up anger on the inside, and its not fair to yourself or others if you have an outburst because of it!
2. If you beat the boss, feel free to put down your keyboard and do the splits! Shout out on vent, " 1, 2 , 3, 4, we downed that lil' boss hore!" LOL, I know its really crude, but those bosses say, and do some mean things. Besides, its okay to be spunky once in awhile! When all your feelings calm down, sit down with your guildmates on the floor after looting (and no fighting while looting! cat fights are so immature). Have your designated raid leader stream Enrique Iglesias - Hero over vent, and then embrace each other softly. Take time to feel each other and tell each other how much you love them. If there's a guildmate who you like a lot, you should tell him or her, and if you're feeling bold, scatter your feelings to the wind and kiss them!
So, repeat that for every boss you down! When the night is drawing its final breaths, and yourself and your guildmates are weary (but chock full of love!), just sing along with your guildmates on vent:
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be
I can feel you breathe
Give each other a kiss goodbye and tell them how much you want them to sleep safely and soundly, then take your portal back to Shattrath!
I know if people just tried this, raids could be so much more fruitful! We would all work together better, and everybody would be so happy and caring! Give me feedback and maybe suggest this to your guild!
P.S. This is NOT a troll. I really feel this way, and it will hurt my feelings if you guys put me down. Please only post positive things on this thread, if you want to say mean things then don't say anything at all!
