PISSED OFF!

You know what sucks? Busting your butt organizing an event and having some lame Steamrolling Piece of Crap guild come along and Zerg ya.
Im in Great Divide, assembling forces for 10th ring war. No Im not uber. Yes this ring is still a solid upgrade for my pathetic bard arse. Oks, now try and get beyond the fact that Im crying foul on a SoV quest. Yes I realize that Im 3 expansions behind, however a crime is a CRIME!
So I have 25 or so in GD all 60 to 65. Nearing Critical mass to make the situation a go. At this point I check the totals for the zone and its ALL us. Im feeling very confident, another 5 to 10 players and I definately would have started the war. Our guild is average equipment at best, so I was hoping for the magic number of 40 for the 3rd wave and final boss.
I started making announcements to the zone. Everyone who has done the war has pissed off the entire newb population if they did not give the exp groups proper warning. 20 Screaming Newbs is not something I need to deal with in an already stressful raid situation.
I did not want to make this mistake, so I started spamming, Ring War to begin in 15 minutes. Lasts 2 Hours. Please be Safe. Thats the appropriate thing to do right?
WELL, Out of no where 50 people from (Insert Big Uber Im jealous of Guild Name here) show up and hand the war declaration in to Sentry Badain before I had the chance.
WTF!
I mean, I know I shouted to the zone and while 25 is iffy as to being able to pull off the whole fight and end boss, I still think that should have been considered first in force dont you?
The funny part is, that 50 man brigade might have been 60 or 75. The truth of it is, I did not see them at all. Actually, Thinking back I don't remember anyone doing a war at all.
All I know for certain is that when I went to give Sentry Badain the War declaration, he was not there. Surely, the raid organizer would have checked him being up first. Right? OOOOOOPS!
Ok, so this is mean spirited to get all of your hopes up on a good flame fest, but do me these two favors first before you pass judgement. First, Check the time of the post. THEN, read all the other worthless crap that we are posting page after page on, and at least give me the satisfaction of knowing that this post is as meaningful as most of the dribble that we've collectively been spewing lately.
What happened to the good old days of flame vault? Blood, Guts, ACTION. Thats what I crave. Drama is nice, but we have too many Drama Queens and not enough meat to satisfy my barbaric roots.
