Officers Meeting Notes 3/9/08

wow, that's a fine looking shot of the guild officers! lol. Not everyone could make it, but Mcmanager, Bricco, Daylin, Porchelynn, Listra, Traenei, Syll, and Humbah are in the pic. Missing are Duh, Naurah and Telroon.
Hey, hey, guildies! Listen up!
The officers had a meeting today to discuss some organizational issues, raiding issues, and ways to further strengthen and unite the guild. Here are some of the things we decided to put in place:
1) Officers on call:
The officers are going to try to sign up to make themselves available to guildies for help with quests, instances, etc. Officers will try to sign up for this on the guild calendar (look to the right on this page for a link to the guild calendar) and will also try to change the guild message of the day to let you all know that they are "on call". If you need help questing, getting gear, instancing, whatever, just send a whisper to the officer on duty and we'll help you to get it done!
2) The officers are working on building and implementing a second Karazhan raid group. If you are interested in being part of the second group and are nearing or at level 70, please let us know, as we are trying to plan for the future.
3) In the meantime, we will be rotating eligible players in and out of the current Karazhan group. This mostly applies to dps and possibly tanks right now, as we are short on healers in the guild. We will be starting a thread in the guild forum (there's a link to the right on this page for the guild forum) where each week you can sign up if you want to run Kara, and let us know which bosses you need drops from. We will do our best to get people in to fight the bosses they need. However, a couple of things need to happen for this to work.
a) if you are scheduled to go to Kara, you need to be up and ready to go at the raid start time. Gear fixed, potions in your bag, ready for a summons. If you are scheduled to go but are not on within 10 minutes of the start time of the raid, don't be surprised or upset if we have to give your spot to someone else waiting to go.
b) if you are scheduled to rotate in for a boss in Kara, you need to be standing by outside of Kara. It's fine if you park your toon outside of Kara and jump on an alt or something, but you need to be ready to jump in at a moment's notice so that we can keep the run going. Many of us are parents or work, or whatever, so we can't have the runs drag out or not much will get accomplished.
c) if you are interested in running Kara but are not sure about your gear or abilities, check the forums for posts there on Kara requirements. We're not drawing a line in the sand anywhere, but there are links there to threads in the world of warcraft forums that should give you an idea of what you will need to get started. If you want to run and you're not ready, go to the WOW armory, find out what gear you need and where it drops, and let us know and we'll set up runs for you to work on your drops on non-Kara days.
4) We're running not one, but two guild contests! wooties! One will be a forum posting contest, and the other will be a contest to choose the new name for the Kara raid team! Prize is a Primal Might for each contest, so make sure you check the guild forum for rules! (again, there's a link to the guild forums on the right side of this page.
