A World of Warcraft guild populated with academics. Neat.
Doesn't that pretty much describe the CHE Forums?
Well yes, but on the CHE forums you don't get to kill stuff, snatch their booty, complete quests, and gain power. Fun stuff, that.
You're clearly doing it wrong, then.
The OP is pulling your collective leg, people. It has made me laugh out loud a few times, though. I think this is my favorite:
Our N.E.A. grant is up for renewal! Xsis the Wise, Sage of Orgrimmar and Prothonotary to the High Council, has demanded that Tiger Team One submit the following material:
1. Evidence of Effectiveness. In the past, Tiger Team One has submitted Night Elf ears. However, Xsis the Wise has threatened our funding because the ears themselves are not indicative of the strentgth of the foe. He suggest whole demon heads, dragon heads, etc...
2. Evidence of Progression. Xsis the Wise write, "Tiger Team One has secured a fearsome reputation, but we worry that it is has become complacent. Is Tiger Team One resting on its laurels?"
3. Compelling Need. Quite frankly, I'm shocked that they would ask us to justify this! Even in his study in the Valley of Wisdom I am sure that Xsis can hear the screams and lamentations of the women and children that suffer from the nightly Alliance attacks on the Crossroads!
Please review the above criteria. We will meet in Bloodhoof village to discuss how best to respond to Xsis. N.E.A. funding is crucial to the long term success of Tiger Team One. The Northrend Exploration Association has many guilds from which to choose and we must make sure Tiger Team One remains it's "go to" strike team!
Go Tiger Team One!
