Hib Has A CoW
In my gaming career, I’ve belonged to more guilds than you can shake a gnome at, which is a lot of fun, and an activity I heartily recommend. I’ve formed more than my share, including the gang over at Alliance of Heroes, a group I formed in City of Heroes beta that is still going today (editor’s note: Hey guys!), and I’ve joined quite a few others when I didn’t feel the desire to form my own but still felt my dominant “social player” gene twanging.
This is the first time in my MMO career I’ve decided to play a game because of the formation of a new guild, however.
Heartless_ (over at Heartless_Gamer), Genda (The Groucy Gamer), JoBildo (he of the Hammer of Ten Tons and the Ramblings ), Rick (from /random) and Hud (from Hud’s Hideout), probably while drunkenly IM’ing each other one night, decided that the slurred suggestion “Hey, why don’ we form a blogg’rs guild for WAR?” was a great idea…
And thus, the Casualties of WAR were born.
It’s not limited to bloggers, however…if you’d like to laugh until you accidentally bio break, have a ball in WAR, and always wanted to play an MMO with me (and lord knows, that’s a hot ticket), we could be the group for you. And the best part is this…if you’re reading this, you’re invited!
Head over to the official forums, don’t break anything (or Genda will go mental…again), read the directions and follow them. That’s all it takes.
Now, thanks to this bunch, I have to go pre-order WAR. However, it’s not all rainbows out of puppy dogs’ asses in CoW land…Blackguard’s a Casuality, too. WAR-gankage because I keep misspelling his last name here coming in three…two…

Oh, crap, we have YOU, too?! I better go cancel my in-store pick-up pre-order from GameStop o-m-g. Hyphen!

A very sad state of affairs this is surely to be.
sorry to hear you got sucked in like the rest of us into this vortex of gaming goodness. lol

“probably while drunkenly IM’ing each other one night”…
Hehe, possible! But not true, in this case. Boatorious actually floated the idea a couple weeks ago, and it picked up steam from there.
Welcome to the fold! Herd? Hmm. Maybe I should just stick with “guild”.

@Ryan: It’s much too late for that…you’re stuck with me now. Bwaa-haaa-haaa!
@Oakstout: It’s like a black hole of awesome, Oak.
@Rick: They’re holding something over your head to keep you from admitting the true beginnings of this entire thing, aren’t they?
They have pictures of you wearing Heartless_’s assless chaps, don’t they, Rick?
That’s okay…you don’t have to admit to anything. We understand.
And Rick…”fold”? “Herd”? “Guild”? I’m partial to “Justice League of Bovines” myself.
