The goal of the guild is to down every heroic 25 man encounter when it matters. We gear to raid not raid to gear... and we believe in doing all of this on a limited schedule.

Guild Code of Conduct:

1. Support the guild and your guild mates. A guild is like a family, and as such, you should treat each member with the same respect you wish to receive yourself.
2. Teasing and light-hearted jokes are normal, but if a fellow guild mate asks you to stop, do so. On the flip side, develop thicker skin. Teasing is a part of life, and while the officers will keep it from going overboard, not every joke is reason to take offence.
3. Insults and blatantly offensive comments will not be tolerated, whether or not you think the person deserves it.
4. Do not complain about someone or their play style. Suggest how they can improve. Failure on their part to heed such suggestions is not grounds for you to then hassle them about it. If it is something that impedes the guild's progress, talk to an officer, if not, let them play the game.
5. Take care of disagreements in a civilized fashion. Disagreements are a part of life, but arguments and fights should not be. If you have a problem with a fellow guildie, approach them about it, and attempt to work it out. If an agreement can not be met, or you simply don't feel comfortable bringing it up with the other person, talk to an officer. They're here to help.
6. Make an effort to keep your language polite on the forums, in guild chat, or in vent. Excessive crude comments are grounds for demotion and/or removal from a raid or the guild.
7. Registration on the guild forum is required for all members and initiates, and you must check the forum at least once a week. Information will be posted that can not be properly conveyed in game, such as raid schedule and signups, and our guild charter and rules. It is your job to keep up with what is going on in the guild.
8. Conduct yourself outside the guild in a way that will reflect well on our guild. Do not ninja loot or kills. Do not be rude and offensive to anyone (even if they're horde, that's what /chicken is for), and do not spam any in-game channels.
9. Make sure you want to be here. No one is forcing you to be in this guild.
10. Think before leaving the guild. If you gquit we are not inviting you back - look for another guild or apply through our website again.

Raiding Rules

Raids begin at 7 pm server time, and go until 10 pm server time. Invites go out at 6:30 server time, and you are considered absent if you are not online, ready to accept the invite at this time. We raid 25 man content Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

You must be at the raid instance before 7 pm server time with full durability, and all potions, elixirs, flasks, reagents, buffing food, bandages, and any special gear, outside your normal set that may be needed.

In order to raid you must have downloaded, installed, and configured Ventrilo, Deadly Boss Mods, Decursive (if applicable), and Omen.

You must be raid specced for all raids. Remember that we are a team, and as such if you are asked to fill a role, that is where we need you.

You must pay attention to the raid leader at all times. Save questions and clarification until after he/she has finished giving instructions.

Before leaving the raid or going AFK, you must let one of the officers know. We rely on you being there to do your job. If you are not, it hinders the progression of the entire raid.

Damage meters are a perfectly acceptable mod to have to gauge yourself against previous weeks and others, however, reporting data to the raid or guild chat during the raid is not tolerated.

Raid Roster

The raiding roster (rr) is a list of raiders who are dedicated to showing up to raids, and who are expected to show up to said raids, barring an in-advance excuse and emergency. If you cannot make it to a raid you must post, in advance or within 48 hours, the date(s) and reason in the AFK forum. If you don't post then you will get 1 strike.

We require our raiders to commit to all three nights and keep 85%+ lifetime attendance. The raid roster will have 32 people. If everyone gives 85% attendance then we'll have 27 people online per raid which gives us some room for disconnects, class/role balance issues etc.

DKP

1. Only raiders and initiates can hold DKP. Anyone removed from the rr (voluntarily or not) will get removed from the DKP list.
2. People with 85%+ lifetime attendance will have higher priority for loot than those with lower attendance.
3. We're going to reward 4 dkp/hour and maximum 3 times per night. So 12 dkp per night.
4. minimum bid is 1 dkp
5. no DKP cap

Spending DKP

When loot drops in a raid instance it is handled as follows:

The officer will announce that they are, "taking bids on X" where X is the name of the item. Everyone who wants that item can send the officer a whisper with the amount of DKP they want to spend. This is a silent auction and you are only allowed to bid once. The 2nd highest bid + 1 DKP will be deducted from the winning bidder, and they will receive the item.

• There is a minimum bid of 1 dkp on all items. If there is only one bid on an item, this number is considered the 2nd highest bid.
• Bidding priority is given to Raiders. If all such people pass on an item, then bids from Initiates will be considered.
• If you are an initiate please bid on items that you want and include "initiate" in your bid. Example: "2 DKP initiate".
• You *can not* go into debt when bidding on an item. i.e., you can not bid more DKP than you have.
• Any item that does not find a new owner will be disenchanted.
• If more than one person bids the same amount of DKP: The person with the highest total DKP will win the item for the amount they bid.
• Also, we will never shard an item if someone in the raid needs it. The details of this situation will be decided by the raid leader when and if it occurs.
• BOEs: Only bid if you are going to use it in a PVE spec that you raid with. BOEs are our source of gold for flasks and repair bills. Your friend, alt, bank or pvp spec shouldn't get these items.
• Off-spec items: Only bid on an item if you actually use that off-spec in raids. If no one bids on a BOP item then feel free to pick it up for a spec you don't usually raid with.

Wait-list

1. At 6:30 pm cst invites will go out. Everyone who wishes to raid will be invited. If you are in groups 1-5 then you are raiding. If you are in groups 6-8 then you are on the waitlist and should NOT zone inside the instance.
2. Everyone including the "waitlist" people will earn the same DKP.
3. If you are in groups 6-8 you can get on an alt but you are required to be ready to raid as soon as you are called upon. If you don't respond within 5 minutes then you'll be removed.

Probation

If a person has 75% (or lower) lifetime attendance then they are put on probation. This means we're actively recruiting a replacement for them. Same goes for people with 3 strikes (a strike = missed a raid without posting).

Raiders with high lifetime attendance but low attendance when it matters (like lk heroic for example) will be put on probation. Excused or not... missing important raids hurts us.

People who don't respond to constructive criticism from the officers will be on probation as well. If you are not performing to the standards of the guild and not doing anything to improve... then we don't want you.

The idea is that slowly we will form a roster that is committed to the goals of the guild. A roster of people who are showing up 85%+ of the time, have great performance and will show up when it counts. This will of course depend on our ability to recruit replacements to the people who are not committed to the same goals as the guild. So raiders who want to down the hardest 25 man content need to get involved.
