[Raiding] My fellow Raid leaders...

I'd like an addon that allows me to start a /readycheck from in-game and also messages our Facebook raiders...

In my world, Facebook = major unfriendly boss

I avoid that at all costs

lol... well, good for you. I suppose the majority of raiders probably would need something to pop up for them on YouTube as well as Facebook... will need to research this further, lol.

Haha you mean raiders that are looking at facebook during a reset and therefore not ready for the next attempt?

Need to do a TV popup as well then!

Internet enabled shock colars would work quite well. Raid leader issues checks and anyone who fails to respond gets shocked into submission.

I think the shock collars are the way to go. Could even have them start off with a low current when you are standing in something bad. Then have it get stronger and stronger the longer you are in the puddle of doom.

LoL. Raiding while also using your iPad is a definite no-no.

I guess I'm out of line when I expect my raiders to actually pay attention while we raid.

yes you are! this thread is for leaders of casual raiders only!!!! lol.

forum was dead yesterday afternoon, so I posted something silly. Most of my raiders (wife included) who tab out do so when I have to explain the mechanics of the fight to someone who has never seen the fight (we do that a lot)... it gets worse when they tell me "I haven't done LFR, what do I need to know?".

Vent Raid - all you hear is the silence of the soon to be dead!!!

RL - Okay readycheck - good - pull!!!

Healer 1 - OMG tank you are too far from me!!!!
DPS2 - What do i do when i get charge??
RL - WTF - move if you get charged!!!
DPS2 - I did I moved to the tank!!!
RL - OMG SRSLY!!!
Tank1 - I am dead I need a Brez!!!
Healer 2 - ADDS!!!! I GOT ADDS ON ME!!!!!
DPS1 - Damn the boss has a big hit box!!!
DPS3 - FFS can we get this stupid marker out of my way!!! How can I DPS the boss when I cant see him because of the marker!!!
Healer 1 - I am dead.
Healer 2 - I am dead.
Tank1 & 2 - I am dead.
RL - Alright wipe it
DPS4 - What do we do on charge again?
DPS5 - Can I get a mass rez?? I need to check Farmville!!!

Vent Raid - all you hear is the steady thump of the RL's head on the desk.

WHAT I'm NOT supposed to work on my home iscsi array when you're explaining?

I still need to replace that 1 barracuda drive with a constellation
And I'm really wanting to go ES.3 instead of ES.2 and to go to 4TB drives instead of 2TB drives.

Oh well money is holding me back anyway.

"The Department of Defense regrets to inform you that your sons are dead, because THEY WERE STUPID." Best line of dialogue in Top Gun, and seems to apply pretty well here.

When I read Immer's dictation of that event I vizualize the Family Guy version of the cast of TNG.

What about asking them to turn on background sound? This will allow you to do a readycheck and others hear it. Also, wouldn't twitter be a good way? Perhaps post strats for upcoming bosses on guild website and use that to notify when you are about to start with the message box? Just some suggestions.

yeah, I also have learned to say in vent "alright, let's get a readycheck" for those who might be tabbed out. This thread was mostly just for fun. I try to keep the atmosphere on the casual side while pushing for better and better performance while "in combat". It's a delicate balance but we've been catching up at a nice pace. Looking forward to working solely on ToT with ToES on farm (and the occasional MSV/HoF just for alts/fun on off-nights).
