I often decide that I alone am the established party. I would rather raid with 5 complete strangers meeting for the first time than be the 4th, 5th or 6th wheel in any group. My group often is looking for only 1 or 2 others and it's really really hard for them to slot into our established group. The only people that I have met via LFGs that have stuck around in my group are either those that joined a smaller version of my group and weren't outnumbered, or those that came with at least one friend. I do feel sorry for those that join us sometimes, especially the more delicate of the Americans. I often add words to the effect of "warning, you will be exposed to coarse/toilet/sexual humour if you join us"... and that's just from the girls in the clan.
