Announcements 22 August 2013

 A and B Teams Effective - 22 August 2013 and Three Strike Policy

** Raid nights have been scheduled for this week. Make sure to sign up for your team's raid nights well before the midnight deadlines. A good number of you have been absent already from your team's raid nights, and a couple of you have not given any of the officers a heads up about your absence. Remember, we require an in-game message through the mailbox to any of your raid team's officers at least three days in advance. More importantly, as mentioned at the time of recruitment, we enforce a strict raid attendance policy––three strikes to be exact. A few of you already face demotion from our raid team ranks.  Although we are strict with attendance, it is not as bad as it sounds. We understand real life obligations should be a priority and don't mind you missing raid nights even if it's just to take a break outside of game, as long as your absences don't become habitual and as long as you are giving us three day's notice. Please refer to our raid rules posts for further details.**

Both teams have a few empty slots, please refer to the rosters and notes at the bottom of this post.

Make sure you are fully gemmed, enchanted and know intel for the first four bosses in Throne of Thunder by the end of this week, and by your team's first raid night of next week be sure you are well informed on the intel for the next four bosses––all provided here on the guild blog. Simply click on the "raid guides" link on the left-hand side of the blog.

Guild Rank Ups and Demotions Deadline

All new recruits who have undergone an actual team enrollment meeting with our officers and have been placed onto our raid teams have been ranked up to either Pileus A, Pileus B, or Cumulus ranks, depending on which team they have been placed onto (A, B, or O). However, several of you have not yet registered onto our guild community website––an absolute must if you wish to continue being on our raid teams. Registration is free and easy, there should be no excuse to not be a registered member on our guild community website if you plan to raid with our guild. The deadline for registering on our guild community website is by 11:59 PM server time on 31 August 2013. Failure to do so will result in demotion to lowest guild rank (no guild repairs). As for those of you who spoke with an officer, make sure you make an actual enrollment appointment with your designated officer.  To find out who your designated officer is, refer to our raid team enrollment post.

Inviting Alts Rule

I kindly remind everyone that it is a guild rule to not allow alts into guild until someone has been with us for a month and has committed to being either a designated member on our A or B raid teams or has enlisted as a backup raider on our O Team.

Ventrilo Chat Rule

It is listed in our guild rules that we are to keep ventrilo chat family friendly. We enforce this because many of our guildies have children that could be within earshot or sneaking around past bedtime. 

* While all these rules and restrictions may seem overwhelming when listed out in front of you, keep in mind these serve a purpose. We enforce them to ensure that raid nights are productive and pleasant for our team members. Although we are not an elitist or hardcore guild, there needs to be tradeoffs to ensure discipline and effectiveness while at the same time not preventing everyone from having a good time.

Jealous Sky Raid Team Rosters 2013








Notes:


  • A Team is recruiting x1 tank heals
  • A Team currently has no battle rezzes and even if the last heal slot happens to be filled in by a druid I would like to have at least one of our hunters bring an exotic pet with the ability to battle rez.  Tyler or Creep please meet with Tides or Ken if you choose to volunteer.
  • B Team is recruiting x2 tanks and x1 deeps
  • The missing heals slot on B Team has two guildies vying for the same slot. Make sure you are able to commit to this team's raid schedule and you have no PvP gear on then meet with either Paul or Mira to obtain this last slot.

Raiding requirements can be found through the "raiding requirements" label on the left-hand side of the guild blog. I am providing you with two options to inform yourself on the strategy for Primordius: by the video posted below or the notes included in the link below. If you opt to watch the video guide, be sure to take notes. If you'd rather read the strategy, here is the link:

Primordius: 10M

Throne of Thunder is a new challenge for Jealous Sky.  I would like for us to strive for excellence.  I will start to ensure that everyone does their fair share and informs themselves well on the strategy.  We are in a guild that promotes a team-oriented raiding atmosphere and it is only fair that everyone is well-informed.  Having to explain boss intel before fights takes up too much time.  If I find that people are not able to set aside some time and inform themselves on boss strategies, then we will skip the bosses people are uninformed on.  Please do your best to not let the team down; if we are all aiming at heroic progression then we need to be open to a little more responsibility and effort.
