GuildExit / GuildRemain

So the BREXIT and BREMAIN had me thinking about how our guilds economies work. So what is your guild story? Did you start your own? Join one and never leave or maybe you've explored several until you found the right fit. If you're the leader of your guild, is there anything would get you to leave the guild you created (assuming you have active members)?

My story:
I started my own guild (DMZ) when I discovered there were weekly challenges for gold crates (this was before you could play them outside of a guild and before TGs). I made a bunch of my friends join NML and brought them into the guild and then slowly booted them all when I filled it with more experienced and committed players (I know, some friend ). My guild has been full for a while with a mix of players from the US, Canada and Europe. The one thing I really like about this game is the different perspectives you can get from people living all over the world.

I started my own guild, too. The Cheesemakers. (So lame!) Didn't have a clue, didn't last long. Once I figured things out a bit more, I joined Survivorsreborn, where I met my beloved @capibara. They were a lovely group, but I wanted to really Compete. So, I joined Dangerous Curves with DarkFae. When DC folded, I was seduced by Jester into joining BlackjackNBeef. Very happy destroying walkers with those bad asses. I'm still close with Asylum, which "rose from the ashes" of DC. My baby alt runs their casual guild, The Funny Farm.

@JudithG Big fan of cheese or from Wisconsin?

It was shortly after the Morgan & the psychiatrist episode. Lol. So lame!

masmith93

@JudithG is Capi the leader of the Survivors guild?

I was in a guild of 1. Myself. Lol all the way up until I was lvl. 30. I tried to get accepted into guilds but sadly, I never was. Until I followed NML fb page and finally found a guild that would have me. And now I crush them in challenges! Lol so I don't think they ever want me to leave.

@masmith93, no, but an elder.

masmith93

@Jenng Which guild? If you're crushing them, I hope they made you an elder.

@JudithG Is Capi as colorful about his kind in guild chat as he is on the forum?

SlickRick

I can't even remember what I did the first couple months playing...I know I wasn't in a guild

I joined one in January-ish and they made me an elder with like half the guild...then a ton of people just got booted for no reason and I was like funk that.

I joined Externals in February-ish and got my brother to join in...great leader and awesome group of people.

I moved to the DeadFamily group with my brother a couple weeks ago for various reasons...the main of which was the incessant recruiting by @lmfgunnut which I couldn't ignore any longer...and now life is blissful...except for the fact that @lmfgunnut is now trying to get me booted out of the guild

That's my long and epic journey to the sad state of affairs I now find myself presented with

I had a guild because you got an achievement reward for making or joining. When they opened outpost, I got the TG bug and realized that being in a guild, even a slacker guild would double my haul from each challenge.

I posted in search of a slacker guild that would be cool with my lack of commitment and effort. Also didn't feel like chatting or making new friends. @WalkerBait1 was the first to reply. I told her I'd seen her recruitment thread, but their 70 or 75 star minimum was a bit steep for me. Told her I could really only commit to about 60. She said that was cool, but 70 wasn't really much more. I said whatever, let's do it.

That very first challenge I broke 190, by my third challenge in the guild I was the the top earner (which I was all the way to last week when @SlickRick took the crown away) and found a cool group of people that I did want to chat with and my game hasn't been the same since.

TLDR: in my first non solo guild and not leaving. I may boot @SlickRick though.

masmith93

@SlickRick That seems out of character for @lmfgunnut, to invite you then try to boot you

SlickRick

@masmith93

You should meet him...you'll recalibrate your thinking on the subject

masmith93

@SlickRick maybe he decided that he's just not that in to you?

SlickRick

@masmith93

Is he Jennifer Anniston and I'm Ben Affleck in this scenario?

masmith93

@SlickRick That was J.Lo, not J.Ann.

SlickRick

@masmith93

Are you really debating movie knowledge with me??

masmith93

@SlickRick Oh my bad. I thought you were talking about real life, not a movie. Are you trying deny the existence of Bennifer?

lmfgunnut

But I think it's more Tom Cruise (me) Katie Holmes (@slickrick) and you're about to be expelled from our cult...guild....why do I keep saying that?

SlickRick

@masmith93

Lol holy crap I really thought you were referencing that movie in your question above...we got our rines crossed

Jenng

Uh, yes. They made me an elder before the first challenge was over! My winning personality won them over and did I mention I dominate them in stars?! Lol

SlickRick

Let's keep everything On-Topic please

SlickRick

@Jenng

Back to the topic...I would really love to know how you do on star collecting relative to the performance of the rest of your guild?

masmith93

@lmfgunnut You're definitely Tom Cruise.

@SlickRick That movie was a book first.

SlickRick

@masmith93

Sorry to go Off-Topic again...but if @lmfgunnut is Maverick what the freak am I? Mother Goose??

(Spoiler Alert!!!) The guy dies form hitting his head on the canopy...this is some bullshit!!

masmith93

@SlickRick You're Katie Holmes.

Jenng

I'm sorry, I thought this was a safe post to comment on being that it's already in off topic because I feel like I've been jinxing everyone I've commented on gets moved here anyway! Lol apparently I don't know correct gaming lingo. I'm all, you know that thingy, this thingy and then bam! Off topic!

SlickRick

@Jenng

No mod edited you lol...I was just being silly...you're safe to proceed

SlickRick

@masmith93

That's disgusting...although I would look pretty nice in the mirror

masmith93

Goddamn thread hijackers.

lmfgunnut

I've often wondered if I woke up as a hot chick...some kind of movie style body swap...just how creepy I'd be with myself.

SlickRick

I'd be down at the docks waiting for the ships to come in
