A process by which you are on-call 24/7 to play a video game as a 2nd (or in some cases, 1st) job. Involves setting up an audible notification on Discord or Twitter or some other platform a guild uses to alert their members to wake up and log on.

Like sending out the Bat Signal when you want Batman to show up. Except in this case the Bat Signal is a phone notification, and Batman is a group of alpha gamers.
It's kind of a bummer that we have such easy ways of communication these days. I remember having to use forums in order to arrange a raid ahead of time where you scheduled it; and people either showed up or didn't. This is a whole new level of having contested mobs that's for sure. Not that I'll ever have to worry about raiding!
