I hate introductions

I find introductions something that is very hard to do. It's better, I've found, to get to know someone over time rather than take in a bunch of (often) random information about a person when you first encounter them - that's not how people process information. Never the less, I will give a bit of info about myself and, moreso, what the contents of this blog are going to be.

I'm an IT student, focusing on system and network management. I'm also the co-leader and raid leader of a small-time World of Warcraft guild, and have been leading guilds and raids in that game for about three years now - as a protection-specced warrior. Previously, I was also an officer in a guild in EQ1, but quit playing that shortly before Omens of War was released. As you can tell, I'm a pretty big gamer - I enjoy being a part of a group of individuals in MMO's, and it's the primary reason I play them. I do enjoy a lot of single player games also though, but mostly on consoles (360 and a bit of Wii). I've also recently rejoined the hobby of Warhammer 40k, and hope to have my Blood Angels army finished in the next few months. I've never played a game of it however, mostly due to not having lived around anyone that played before - but that has changed, hence my rejoining the hobby.

So as you can tell by that above paragraph and the title/description of this blog, I'm going to be focusing on strategy and tactics employed in the games I play. But, I also want to post some entries about strategies used with people - which, in general, while mostly applied to guild leading can also be applied to any type of team. I've a fair interest in how people interact, both in a normal social atmosphere but also how they interact when working together toward a common goal (or not, in some unfortunate cases).

So that's my introduction, hopefully you stick around to read more. Comments will be welcome, of course.
