Recruitment

OOB is a raiding guild currently focused on endgame encounters - we raid to progress not to farm content continuously. We raid three nights every week; Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7pm server time to 10pm. Informal 10 man raids are often run on an impromptu basis earlier in the week. Before you apply, please read our Rules carefully. All applicants will be interviewed and may be asked to go on a trial run before being invited to OOB.

What we're looking for is a few exceptional players who would like to join a progression guild. We require recruits that:

• Can commit to at least two of our three progression raids and show up 100% to the assigned day unless there is an emergency. The more days you can commit to the better.
• Have put maximum effort into obtaining the best gear at their level and getting the best enchants/gems for the gear. We want to see the effort here.
• Must know how to play their class very well and come to raids prepared. This means being on-time, having flasks and buffing food for ALL encounters, and knowing the fights in advance.
• Must be able to read forums to keep up with news -- yes reading skills seem to be rare in the wow community :P

Also note that:

• Raiding is highly dependent on class balance and as such involves potential bench time. If you don't do well with sitting, don't apply.
• No drama queens, if you are emo about everything and need to talk to an officer about every single loot distribution or always have issues that needs to be addressed to officers, you better look somewhere else.
• You should be a friendly player with a positive attitude. If you find that you cannot discuss raid strategies, raid composition, or player performances without whining at, condescending to, or berating your fellow raiders then please look elsewhere.

Our immediate needs are (updated July 11, 2010):
- No specific needs
We're interested in applications from all other exceptional players as well.

If you are ready to be part of a stable and progressing guild just fill out the form below.

 ***Please put some effort into your application, include WWS/worldoflogs parses and log out in your PVE gear so that we can see it through the armory. Your application is your chance to make a good first impression.***

1. Please state your character's name, level, race, and class. Include an armory link as well.
2. Can you tell us about your gear -- current, and goals. We're looking for people who gear to raid, not raid to gear.
3. Please describe your raiding spec and role. Are you willing to respec if needed?
4. Link us a screenshot of your UI. Even if it just looks like the default blizzard UI. Please include your fps in the screenshot, be it via a performance mod, or hit Ctrl-R
5. Please list your guild/server history in DETAIL.
6. Please describe your endgame experience in DETAIL.
7. Please describe what makes your character unique compared to other members of your class -- in other words, what would your membership bring to OOB? Include parses/logs here.
8. Please list any current members of OOB whom you know.
9. Do you have above average lag, an old computer, sketchy internet, parents, a microwave, or anything else that will regularly cause unscheduled 'downtime' during raid?
10. What consumables do you or will you bring regularly to raids?
11. If your application is accepted, you will be invited into the guild as an Initiate. As an Initiate, you will earn DKP, but you will not be allowed to spend it unless members do not need the item. Do you agree to this?	YES NO
12. We raid Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. server time, with invites starting at 6:30 P.M. Members do not need to come to every raid; however they are required to state which days (for example: Thursdays and Saturdays) they wish to be on the raid rosters for, and show up consistently those days of the week EVERY WEEK. Which of our weekly raids would you be able to commit to attending consistently (attendance as close to 100% as possible)? NOTE: 'YES' is not an an adequate answer to this question.
13. Do you foresee anything preventing you from dedicating 100% to our raids? Such as the Army, Navy, etc. or school?
14. We require that all members of a raid use DeadlyBossMods, Omen and Ventrilo (You do not need a mic but must be able to listen). Are you willing to install these and use them?	YES NO
15. Did you read the Guild Charter and Raiding Rules, and do you agree to them?	YES NO
16. Is there anything else you would like to tell us about yourself or your character?
