I'm sorry that Dahk and I couldn't be there for the last two raids. My glasses broke, and Dahk had to superglue them back together, but it was at an odd angle, and everything felt like it was curving and falling away, so looking at screens was awful. The headaches were so bad by Friday (when I finally had my eye exam appointment) that I couldn't make it to work.
I think a break is a good idea, too. The holidays are tough times in general. Dahk and I are going on a vacation for half of December, so we wouldn't be able to raid at all during that time, anyway. Re-examining all of this in January seems like a good move.
Mold, I want to echo what others have said and offer my heart-felt thanks to you.
Leading a guild is an incredibly thankless job, and raid leading can be even more so. It is very stressful to herd everyone, decide who gets to participate, handle no-shows, balance things for comp, call fights, circumvent drama... and do it all with some scrap of positivity. You care very much about the guild and about Bushmaster, and that shows through, even on rough nights. Thank you for dealing with all of these stressful components in order to provide us with a great raid experience. It's a privilege for us to just show up and have that experience basically handed to us because you are creating and maintaining it. It's understandable if you're ready for someone else to curate that experience so you can have a turn to just relax and enjoy it.
