Welcome back to Bigticket’s Blog, where I attempt to communicate a guild leader’s view on the current affairs within The Dambusters guild.
Recently there have been a raft of changes to our officer team as we attempt to cover maintenance tasks around the guild. Unfortunately for the guild, Debbs has stepped out of the spotlight and relinquished his Warrant Officer status due to commitments outwith the guild. He recently got married and must fulfil his husbandly duties while also spending a little more time at the helm of his horde guild ‘Coks and Nobbers’ and so he has vacated a very important roster management role at The Dambusters.
There is nobody like Debbs around so I have not really been making any real attempt to replace the guy since the unique approach he takes to the game and it’s community can’t really be matched. That said, his personality wasn’t the only requirement for such a position and who’s to say that another contender for Chief Recruiter will not step forward but for the moment, I will be heading up the leading roster management role while deliberately leaning heavily on my recruitment staff in an attempt to flush out a possible leader from within that group.
Currently we still have Sidney, Meatblocker and the newly appointed Cryomaniac in Recruitment Officer positions and all 3 are currently ranked Flight Sergeant. I will attempt to instill a sense of responsibility in the guys while ensuring the direction I want the guild to move forward in to always be in their minds when considering new applicants. I have every faith in the team as they have already proven to be devoted members of this guild and are keen in their respect for the way I lead the operations around here.
In addition to Cryomaniac as Recruitment Officer, I have also installed the amazingly loyal and hard working Shethehunter as a Guild Bank Manager and she will partner Diputs in maintenance of all things regarding the bank. I must remind everyone that this is a thankless task although it does come with a slight perk or two. Largely tho, it’s unseen engine room stuff which is of crucial importance to the day-to-day running of the guild. Please feel free to keep ploughing your unwanted items and even a lil gold if you’re feeling particularly kind and the guild will always put them to good use for your friends in the community.
A warm welcome to the powerhouse world ranking damage dealing Cryomaniac and also Shethehunter to the Dambusters’ officer team. I am looking forward to working with you both for a long time to come.

Short but stright to the point post shame about debbs but I hear he having computer problems at the moment but that aside there is noone like debbs and god i am thankfull of that I am running outta toasters!!
On a more sensible note dont promote me as il be moving soon soo will go AWOL until settled in the new home when i get a move date. Il still be on whatsapp but will have no internet for that period and we need a more solid recruiter for this vital phase of the Dambusters guild recently hopping servers and all.
Cryo a power house and a true buster to the core id vote cryo for this role out of the short list as Wenya has enough and is already warrent officer / Jibbas if he is not and no for sid as when the meds kick in who knows who he will invite. 😉
P.S nice to see She on whatsapp 🙂
Thank you for the kind words Big man, not deserved at all. This seems as good a place as any to post this:
It was a pleasure running with you guys over the past year and bit, there aren’t many guilds like this anywhere in the game. I have made some real friends within this group of crazies and will miss the banter and abuse that we shared on mumble.
I was supposed to post up a wee ditty about me stepping down from my Warrant Officer position and gradually fade away into the darkness to be forgotten about forever, but in true Debbs fashion I left with a bang, well kicked with boot.
No hard feelings here at all. It is actually the kick up the arse that I needed to make the big move over to the evil side. Hopefully one day Coks and Nobbers will be as structured and have guild members who are as passionate as the ones that can be found in this guild.
This was not an easy decision to make and was not made lightly, it is going to take a long time to build up a guild even close to the one that I am leaving behind. But sadly all good things have to come to an end, as Scott said, changes in my life, and trying to kick start a guild of goblins, orcs and sheep has stolen most of my Dambuster-time.
So with great sorrow in my heart I must say farewell, you guys have all been my surrogate cyber family, and its going to be tough not just popping on to mumble once in a while and hearing Spy rant about noobs not popping their flasks and accusing me of shitting in his toaster, or Wenya shouting something crazy about cats or Scott trolling pretty much everyone.
Cheers for all the good times peeps!
In the words of Winnie- the-Pooh:
“If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together… there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.”
For the last time…
Debbs…All over your face!!
