Recruits should now be able to access the member forum, if you have a problem try logging off the site manually and then logging back in.  Should the problem persist please feel free to pester skyy.

Some of the less than useful stickied threads have been removed as we are in process of making the rules and regulations a little easier to digest as it is a lot of information to bombard new recruits with all at once. 

The vast majority are going to stay in the general forum as it is not always only in-guild personnel that are interested in the way we do things.  The bear thread for example has been relocated to the member forum. 

The content of said forum threads is getting an overhaul hopefully to be completed today, it'll depend on if my #2 manages to get out of bed and get his ass to work today, and if it's a light day in general.

The Post-It note forum has been up for a couple days now, it's intended to give you a spot to toss a note to let us know that you wont be able to make it for the raid.  I'm glad it's already proven useful and I hope to see it get to be a routine habit for us.

All officers, yes even you new guys, be on sunday at 6pm for a meeting.  Plan on it going until raid.

The first three Sunwell bosses have been reduced to 15ap/each.  Full details are available in the general forum stickied post.

Obviously we have some new and exciting things going on lately.  Our M'uru progression is going incredibly well mastering phase 1 getting to roughly 30% as an average without the ideal setup after only three nights on him. 

The influx of new recruits is something for everyone to get excited over as well.  For me this is going to be a busy week, so basically if you try to message me and I ignore you, well, "its not you, its me".  I expect everyone to send me any questions, comments or concerns as normal, including all of our new people.

Make sure all our new people are welcomed, get into their class channels and are acclimated with the bidding system and how cap works. For those of you with access, pay close attention to the recruit threads and app forum. The more input the better. 

The first night we get M'uru to phase 2 I will be dropping magical repair bots that ONLY accept guild bank funds, all night.  Don't forget to reload on your consumables for M'uru we're going to be hitting him hard and getting him down this week!

Fastest boss progression we had in a while. Very good job guys!

We currently are interested in the following classes:


Shaman (Healing, or exceptional dps)
Dps Warrior - particularly MS
One or two ranged dps - hunter/warlock/boomkin all viable options
Shadow priest


We will always be open minded to accepting exceptional players even when classes are closed. If you feel bashful about applying feel free to msg Cloak or DodgerX in game first, we can answer any questions about raidspots / schedules /  Loot system.

As you are all aware every new recruit who enters the guild has a recruit thread on the forums where all members can comment on thier performance, attendance, attitude, and such.  After 30 days time in the guild recruits are evaluated based on what is posted in thier thread along with a few other factors and then membered, extended or casualed.  This process seems to be working fairly well for us with few minor hiccups.

Now in addition to those recruit threads occaisionally you will see threads for casuals who are attempting to become members.  The main reason for this is two-fold.  First it is obviously to get member feedback on those casuals and gather any pertinent information, and second it is to give the other players in those classes a warning of sorts before any large ap sums are simply tossed into the bidding pool.

When we do these types of promotions there is always an officer discussion but as has been mentioned not every class has a class leader, or someone particularly vocal within the class itself.  I would be guilty of not conveying as much info as I should be to the hunters for example :]

An example - currently if I were to member maxii it would basically take a good solid month of warlock drops for someone to be able to get an item.  Obviously this isnt a fair situation and certainly without warning it is unacceptable.  Now that we're using a more public forum to discuss these potential promotions there will be no suprises.

If you are a casual and you are interested in promotion you can talk to either dodger or cloak for what to consider as a first step towards becoming a member.

Cloak-

Just to be very clear, there will be no ap reduction on current totals during a casual to member promotion.

We currently have spots open for the following classes:


Shaman (Healing, or exceptional dps)
Dps warrior particularly interested in MS raid dps
One ranged dps - hunter/warlock/boomkin all viable options
Paladin - Ideally a prot paladin with holy gear, holy gear isnt a requirement but an added bonus.


We will always be open minded to accepting exceptional players even when classes are closed. If you feel bashful about applying feel free to msg Cloak or DodgerX in game first, we can answer any questions about raidspots / schedules /  Loot system.

As a part of the attendance bonus awarded monthly the guild bank is now supplying drums for our leatherworkers.

Tenatively - 5 drums for 100% attendance, 2 for 70%.  The bank will be distributing [drums of battle] in addition to the gold and ap awards now in place.

If you are a leatherworker let Cloak know in a timely manner before the end of the month so that any drums awarded are included with your gold.  If you are a difficult type of person and want either [Drums of War] or [Drums of Restoration] let Cloak know ahead of time.

This additional prize is intended to also encourage people to take up my offer of rerolling professions to leatherworking, full details are in the full member forum.  Pst to Cloak for details if you do not currently have access.

The third time was the good one Good Job team! 

Posted by Cloak, June 18, 2008, 10:57:10 AM

We are currently recruiting to fill a couple raid slots:

Dps warrior - MS
Feral Druid -
Resto Druid -

Recruiting is also open for:

Paladin
Shaman
Mage


For our druid raidslot opening we are primarily interested in resto. However a raiding moonkin is something we are open to talking about.

The warrior opening is not restricted to MS, fury is an option as well but you must be a dps warrior and geared as such, not a prot warrior offspec or wearing pvp gear.

Contact Cloak in game for more details or info on the other opportunities.

Due to a declining interest and motivation surrounding T5 content (SSC/TK) this week signups will be for Hyjal. 

Jaelyn will post a thread shortly, I encourage everyone to be on time and available as we will fill and go very quickly so that we can enjoy pugging Archimonde.

Details as to time/date will be posted, same loot rules will remain as previous weeks and yes the gear restrictions will be more substantial than in the past. BoE loot will be all collected by the SoJ bank.

Good luck and hope to see you there.
