The Dambusters 10th Anniversary™

Well what a journey it has been. 10 actual years and still going strong after all we have been through together. I’m bursting with pride to know that something tiny I created back in Wrath could still be affecting people to this day. All the players we have had, kept and lost over the years accumulate to make this community something to cherish. This Friday 26th July we will host an event which will inject some fun, togetherness and drinking (in-game and out) into the occassion. A big prize draw (detailed below) will be conducted as we get together to pay tribute to all of you who have made this community so special for so long.

EVENTS

The guild formation will begin at Dalaran (Broken Isles) so use your purple Hearthstone and meet up 7pm Server Time just outside Krasus’ Landing where the Hearthstone puts you. I will be standing on the steps opposite. From there you will be invited to a raid group and wait around until we have enough to start.  Please try to be early because I want to get going sharp if possible.

Dalaran Jump

We will get together on a nearby Dalaran island and leap off to our death. The nearest to land at a designated spot will win a prize!

Alliance Smash-Up Raid

Raid as a guild and visit some Alliance neighbourhoods to thank them properly for disrupting the peace! A prize will be allocated for the MVP of the group to be decided by your fellow attendees!

Commemorative March (RP walking)

Enter Orgrimmar Valley of Strength as a guild and line up together in unity. We shall remember former Dambusters who are no longer with us for various happy and sad reasons. Important note: other players might try to troll us so we must be on our best behaviour and not get into any arguments with others on the server. We live here now and we must be ambassarods for the guild at all times! I have recently removed someone for terrible behaviour in general chat. This needs to be a happy day where we start being recognised a bit more around the server. Shout out about who we are but please be humble in the public chats.

Join us on Discord

Get together on our Discord server. We will likely use the ‘Crew Room’ but please ensure background noise is kept to a minimum so that we don’t have to move to another (push-to-talk) room. There will be a lot of people online so this is important.

Dambuster Draw

I will conduct a ‘Dambuster Draw™‘ using a /roll method which will be visible by people attending the event raid team on the night. Players will join the draw by sending in-game mail to Bigpyjamas with gold for their tickets and be allocated a number in a live spreadsheet which can be views using this link.

DRAW RULES

1. Tickets cost 1,000g each
2. Characters may purchase up to 10 tickets each (maximum 10,000g per character) IN-GAME MAIL
3. Players who have alts can purchase tickets on any or all their toons
4. Characters must be guild members to purchase tickets
5. Closing time will be Friday by 6pm Server Time, I recommend people get their tickets bought early so that final prize pot can be adjusted prior to the draw
6. Gold prizes will likely change (increase) depending on ticket uptake. The guild bank will receive an allocation as part of the fund raising.
