'lo folks

 

Thank you to those who submitted their interest in the 9.2 raid, SFO. We have taken the information you provided us and we've been able to form an outline of the plan we will be taking.

 

After Wednesday 16 Feb we will be breaking away from doing any raiding, allowing you to enjoy 9.2 content and to gear up as much as you wish before we start SFO. During this time we'll have the usual run of Mythics and other random stuff we do, so keep an eye on the #wow-central channel and the #event-sign-up channel for the SFO attendance record.

 

Raiders will be added to a group on the site and we'll expect you to attend every raid, unless you inform us in advance that you won't be joining. Please ensure you use the sign up's to keep your attendance up to date, as this may risk your position on the team.

 

The folk who have the professions needed for the raid, I would do a call out to you to create some items for the team - as we all know it's gonna be expensive! If you'd like to support the guild in this way, let me know and I can pop you in touch with the right members.

 

New Raid Information

Raid Days: Monday & Wednesday

Raid Time: 19:30 - 22:30 (Server)

First SFO Raid day: 9 March 2022

 

I will take this opportunity to remind everyone of the guild rules around raiding, you can see them below, or see all guild rules here; https://guildsofwow.com/gnomicidal-maniacs/post/1919/guild-rules

 

Raiding

Additionally, all Guild members who are involved in Raiding are expected to adhere to the following rules as an extension of the Code of Conduct.

  1. Every Raider is expected to do their best. We are not a hardcore guild, but we intend to make the most of our raiding and so have high expectations of our raiders. Everyone should strive to give their best when raiding, ensure they meet the demands of the Raider rank, and spend time researching how to improve outside of raids.
  2. We love to down internet bosses, but not at the cost of fun. Don't ruin that for others.
  3. Raid spots are not guaranteed, and no Raider is more entitled to raid than any other. Raids are composed using a fair and transparent system, giving preference to filling key roles (a Raid Leader, and appropriate numbers of tanks and healers) and appropriate adjustments to reflect Activity as described elsewhere. On rare occasions, an individual may be asked to swap role/spec or miss a boss encounter/raid altogether. This will only be an option once all other avenues have been explored and the Raid Leader(s) have come to an agreement in advance of the event in question.
  4. The Raid Leader is the boss. Follow their directions, and be quiet when they are speaking on Discord. Do not monopolise chat or inundate about your "brilliant" strategy ideas during the raid. If discussion is invited, then keep it brief and to the point. Preferably, raid strategy discussion should be taken to the #wow-central discord room where it can be read offline, outside of the heat of battle, and alongside the other 24 "brilliant" strategy ideas which would have bombarded the Raid Leaders senseless.
  5. Be punctual. Be online before raid invites are issued, and be at the raid entrance and ready to raid before the raid starts. If you can't be online on time, make sure you leave a message saying so. Do not keep people waiting.
  6. Positive criticism is a good thing. Members should feel free to give advice and suggestions to other players to improve their play. Equally, Members should view any positive criticism as an opportunity to improve. Be mindful of your tone and how you present your feedback, as English is not everyone's first language.
  7. The guild's raids and its progress come first to our raiders. Raiders are expected to attend at least half of all guild raids per week. Raiders actively engaged in non-raiding activities (or raiding elsewhere) at the expense of guild raids risk losing their rank.
  8. It is highly recommended that you sim your character, learn the best rotation and be flexible with talent choices. If you need any support, the raid team will always be happy to help you achieve your very best in a manner that is fitting for the guild.
