Raid Sign Up Rules and Looting Guidelines

Raid Filling Procedures

Raids will start at the time of Raid invites.  The raid will be filled, then we will all zone in, buff and proceed with the first pull within 5 minutes of raid invites.  You must come prepared with necessary reagents, fully repaired, and with all necessary gear for your job in the instance.  Any deveation from this will result in your removal from the raid group and replacement with someone on the waiting list.

You must sign-up on the forums to attend a raid.  Signing up does not guarentee you a raid spot.  Sign-up sheets fascilitate people checking the forums regularly and allow the officers to figure out the raid roster prior to raid invite start time.

Raids will be filled based on the following criteria:

A) On time and at the instance - You must be at the entrance to the Raid instance at the time of invites to join the raid group.

B) Class Balance - A specific number of each class can be announced, extras for each class will be put on the waiting list.

C) Talent Spec Balance- Within each class there can be a certain number of players required to have a specific spec to facilitate the planned content for that nights raid. If this cannot be met using dual specializations the raid signup order may be circumvented.

D) Saved to the instance - If you are saved to an instance we are running for a second or third night in the same reset period you may be given priority over a member not saved to the instance, as long as you qualify based on criteria A), B), and C).

E) Hoisters will have priority over Washers AT THE TIME OF RAID INVITE ONLY

Do not expect to get into the raid group if you:
If you log in after the invite time
If you are not at the entrance to the instance at raid invite time
If you are not fully repaired
If you do not have necessary reagents
If you whine and complain a lot

From this point forward everyone signing up for a raid and making a post must do so as an individual and from their own message board account. All members should have a message board account that they use to communicate in the community and that they created when applying to the guild. If you don't remember your account or know how to use it (then I am stunned you can login to WoW) contact myself or a board Administrator for assistance.

We feel this ensures that everyone is a part of the community and definitely is seeing any strats linked in the sign ups or in this forum that can be greatly helpful in the raids. I hope this will also take some burden off the raid leaders in regards to having to repeat posted info which can hold up actual raiding.

If your message board account has a name that can't easily be linked to your WoW character when you sign up then make sure in your attendance post you give your character name, class, and preferred role. This makes it much easier for the Raid Leaders to build raids.

We understand some couples are doing this to ensure they are in the raids together, and we'll do our best when forming raids to keep couples together, but it won't be at the expense of a larger group of members who'd also like to raid.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to shoot me off PM on this board or address me in game on Hurte/Skada/Hurtem/Bohonkus.

To make things easier for me when I am slotting people into raids I'd appreciate if not only you posted In but also included what your preferred role would be.

I would like to see raid signups follow this format :

Character Name : (Not all messageboard handles line up in game)
Status : (In, Out, or List me for reasons like being late with a time estimate.)
Preferred Role : (Tank, DPS, Heals)
