Expansion, Consolidation, and General Craziness

Well a lot has happened in the state of our raiding and guild affairs over the past week or so.

In Bad Juju land, we've welcomed a new 80 to our mix and can finally add a hunter to the fray. We upgraded one of our warrior tanks to getting closer to Naxx 10. So the guild raiding capabilities continues to grow. Membership has also smidged a bit upwards as we added an alt of a long time friend to the mix, and also a new recruit is on the way via one of our main healers. Slow but steady we grow.
I chatted a bit last Friday with our guild leader, and he set things in motion with the Protectors of the guild ensuring and clarifying that they all are indeed officers of the guild. This is a good thing. I feel as a protector now more obligated to increase my role within the guild, rather than just the feeling of being a "senior" member so to speak. We've also been given the go ahead to recruit outside of our personal circle.

So here-in lies the dilemma we are facing. We're getting new Jujus, but we dont have quite enough. We raid very well alonside the members of Section 8. Section 8 is recruiting. There's been a whole smattering of discussion about reforming a new guild, or combining or whatever.
So what are the scenarios?

Bad Juju absorbs Section 8:
Given the more personal nature of our guild, this would be the easiest solution. The issue I see here is that S8 Guild leader is also recruiting and I don't think his fall from grace would settle well. I could see most of the rest of that guild fitting AOK with us, but this is a touchy realm
Section 8 absorbs Bad Juju:
This is not a very realistic solution. Bad Juju currently has 3 times as many individual members, and not to mention our personal relationships of which many would object to be absorbed. This scenario would translate into a true raid guild. S8 GL would not be the ideal person to lead a guild of this size.
S8 and Bad Juju raiders /gquit and form a new guild:
This could happen, but it would create a lot of hard feelings and sort of slap both GLs in the face. The only advantage of this would be the smoothest possible raid team.
Nothing:
This is probably what will happen. The raids will be co-op guilded until S8 fleshes out its ranks. Hopefully this doesnt cause any defectors from Bad Juju, and we can continue our good relationship with S8 members.
