Officers' Quarters, a column about the ins and outs of guild leadership.
I get a lot of e-mails, many more than I could ever cover in this column. I hear about a lot of drama, drama of all different kinds, for all different reasons. So it always piques my interest when I read an e-mail like the one below, with an entirely new kind of guild
drama. This one sounds more suited to a middle school class than a guild, but here it is: secret party drama. Read on for the details!
I am a member of a fairly progressed raiding guild. I am a member of the main raid. I am not an officer, but almost all the regular raiders are officers. In many ways the guild is good. Raiding rules and loot are fair.

After the week off, during Vent chat, it became clear that the many out of town were all out of town together.
