The latest news and World (of Warcraft) report!
November 17, 2009
Our monthly Officer’s meeting has created some new developments, further shaping our guild’s progress into RaidLand! We have decided to embrace a more structured approach to our raiding, and starting as of today, the following changes have gone into effect:
1. We will now be running 3 “raid nights” each week. One of these will be a Progression Raid, in which we continue to move forward through our current raid-of-choice, attempting to clear each one as we progress forward. Our current active Progression Raid is Ulduar, and we will probably open the guild doors to Onyxia before real long. Our second night per week will be a “farm” raid, wherein we take the lesser trained and equipped members through raids we know well in order to get them experience and gear. Our final raid night per week will be an “open” night, which will vary between what needs we have and what troops are available.
2. Our official guild raids will be led by one of three official raid leaders: Teufelhunden, Paxten or Urfeck. A guild sanctioned raid must be led by one of these 3, no exceptions. We have been suffering from “too many chefs” syndrome, and all decisions made pertaining to a specific raid will be finalized by the raid leader.
3. We have yet to determine which 3 nights of the week will be set aside for raiding. This is everyone’s opportunity to tell us which nights work better. Get a vote in now, or forever deal with the consequences of a regular raid scheduled over the top of Monday Night Football/Grey’s Anatomy/Etc.
4. Raids will begin at 730 pm ST on week nights and end approximately 3 hours later. During the weekends raids will probably last up to 4 hours depending on which nights/days we choose as a guild. At 7 pm ST raid leaders and officers and GM will meet to hammer out details of that particular raid (loot master and such).
5. Because we have so many 80s available to us and because we all like to start on time, if you are 10 minutes late then your spot will be given up to somebody else in the guild. If however nobody else is available then we will pug the spot. No more than 3 spots will be pugged. If more than 3 spots have to be pugged the raid will be canceled. And it will be all your fault….boo hiss boo hiss
I hope that this will get most of us on the same page. We’re developing well as a guild, the progress has just been amazing. So please comment and list your 3 night preference.
Raidingly,
Loralia
PS – we are looking into a new website that will hopefully allow us all to contribute and be much more powerful than what we are using now. Stay tuned for more details to come!
With the exception of my unpredictable December any night of the week works for me.
I have read it.. i would prefer later in the week
Thursday is the only night that isn’t good for me – and any night that doesn’t generate wife aggro! lol
i’m game for pretty much any night of the week as long as i have some notice
I read it yay. No problems with the policy change.
I’m going to reply to my own post, cause I’m cool like that.
Am I being charged by the character here? Boy, that would suck
Yup, I will expect 20 gold per character in the guild bank by tomorrow 5 pm ST.
Thanks for ALL the comments!

My days off vary (have already let other raid leaders and Lor know). I know a week in advance when my days off will be, so I would like to schedule my raid according to that and attend the other raids when possible
I just have to say awww…my avatar picture is so pretty. I’ll put 20g in the guild bank *sigh*
Policy–)A-OK. I feel like a stick of butter meltin’ on a pile of warm flapjacks.
sounds good to me, wednesdays will not work for me because of band practice, and i usually work monday and sunday nights. tuesdays are good for me aswell as fridays and saturdays usually.. my work schedual sucks so there will be days i cant attend but i would definitely like to raid with you guys as much as possible!
item 9 exists!
Yea like Rag Said i am unavaliable wednesday nights… teusdays and thursdays are the best for me during the week and fridays and saturdays vary cause of shows and possible practices… and as for mondays and sundays we also used to practice on sundays but for reasons wich i dont understand we havent in awhile but it may start happening again idk…. mondays are good for me too and for right now sundays are open..
Typically my schedule as of late has been very unpredictable for every day of the week but generally Friday nights i am doing something. however i understand that that is one of the nights thats free and avail. to a lot of people . . .
