New Patch, Fresh Start
Based on observance from the last couple weeks of raids, the majority of new guild recruits who have joined us for raids have exhibited very low damage per second and healing output on raid nights for both teams. Many of the damage roles are averaging between 60 and 70K DPS, far below the required minimum of 95K DPS that we ask for on just the first boss in Throne of Thunder.
There is no other way for me to put this nicely and I will not sugarcoat it, but our original ten-man team was doing fine until I split both teams to accommodate new guild recruits. Aside from wanting to reopen our second ten-man team, one of the major reasons I decided to split our original ten-man team into two separate teams was because in the next couple of months I will be executing a career-based decision to move overseas, and by doing so the only way for me to continue raiding with my guildies was to set up another raid team that raided on a separate schedule.
Low performance is not the only issue. Many of you still miss raid nights without giving your raid team officers at least three-day's notice, refuse to register onto our guild community website, forget to sign up for your team's raids, and refuse to learn boss intel before your raid nights. On top of all this, I am seeing a lot of whining and negativity directed at others when these same people are guilty of issues just as bad. Also, several of the new guild recruits have expressed an interest in raiding with our teams at the time I've recruited them and they join our guild only to vanish. I have not seen them sign up for raid nights, I never see them join the guildies for heroics, LFRs, etc. and I sure as hell know that they have not even looked at our guild blog or guild community website. Many of you already on our teams still lack a basic understanding of our guild's rules and raid requirements, all very clearly listed out on this guild blog.
We offer you a raid environment where no one gets called out for mistakes and no one rages against others, we offer you flasks and feasts every raid night and we even offer you free enchants, etc. and quite honestly I've only seen two of you express your thanks to the guild through genuine words of appreciation or donations to the guild keep. Every other guild recruit has only brought us the issues aforementioned.
I'd like to remind you that even though you have been given a slot on our two raid teams, you are all still undergoing our screening period. If you'd like to continue raiding with Jealous Sky, then you need to step up your game. I remind you to check out our guild rules and raiding requirements on the guild blog. Don't go thinking that just because as a GM I'm nice every night even when we wipe that I am going to accept such low performance and constant negativity. I stand ready to remove any that threaten to cripple both our raid teams' performance whether that be through lack of initiative or constant negativity.
Patch 5.4 is upon us, and if you choose to continue raiding with us, now is your last chance to prove you are an effective team member and one that will work hard to bolster our campaign as a guild. At least until next expansion release, this is our only chance to start working on latest raid content at the same time as all other guilds. Why not take this time to redefine yourself? Push your limits. Don't settle for less. Patch 5.4 holds many possibilities for us. Let us take this time to show both raid teams' potential, and make this an exciting conclusion before we usher in the next expansion.
In an upcoming blog post I will lay out a new progression plan for the guild. We'll aim to add a separate night for flex raiding of Siege of Orgrimmar. Since today is patch release and I'm sure the majority of us will be online, I would like for our guild to have a sneak peek at the first boss in SoO raid, Immerseus. We'll aim for sometime around 8:00 PM server time. Posted below is not a formal guide, but one that I think best highlights the mechanics of the encounter.

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.

Primordius: 10M
To join our guild for the following four bosses after Tortos in Throne of Thunder, you must have an average item level of at least 505+ (absolutely no PvP gear).
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

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.
