The Guild
I thought that 'The Guild' was actually pretty funny. The characters are obviously fictional but I felt that it was pretty realistic that even Zaboo's exaggerated stalker character probably actually exists in real life. As of my personal experience, Academically, I appreciated the good relationship with my fellow group members Mack, Eva, Sanjana and Waj. I felt that we all worked together well and there weren't any conflicts--no chasing each other down to do work, no person not actually contributing, all in all for a 4th year class, I was pleased to have them as group members. Socially, I felt that we also got along, there were no personality conflicts and each person brought their own touch to the group which helped us move forward smoothly throughout the semester.
In terms of gameplay, in comparison to The Guild, mine (and my group's) experience was nothing like theirs. For starters, we all met in person BEFORE we played the game. Also, it was not a game that we all chose, we all kind of had different games in mind to play and just ended up settling on Minecraft as the easiest game to play. For the characters in the series, they were all already avid gamers who met playing the game. It was funny to see the different array of characters and how awkward they were when they first met each other. I think it was actually the other way around for us, we were more awkward playing together than in person, just because sometimes we don't know what to do next.
It's SUPER funny that they call and introduce each other by their gamer names, I think that's what my group tried to do to make it feel like we're real gamers... we frequently referred to each other by our Minecraft avatar names while we played. I had a lot of fun doing that!
Watching The Guild was entertaining, I might actually keep watching it. One thing that my group does well like The Guild ended up doing when they were trying to kick out Zaboo but ended up keeping him for his skills is using each other's strengths for the group's benefit. For example, Eva was really good at keeping track of things we can map, we put her on that duty. During gameplay, Mack and Waj had more experience they showed us what we should do based on their knowledge.
Reaching the end of the term now I'm sad that class is over. As a fourth year student graduating, it's a bittersweet feeling to finally be moving on. BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS AHEAD! thank you CCT 495 and all the things you taught!
