Eyes of the East

We now have a 4th bank tab.  Anyone may deposit into it,  But to remove from it please mail or speak with an officer.  This tab is for higher lvl items.  Your character must be in the guild to use the item on.

Hiya folks, I’ve posted the minutes (raw chat log) of our officers meeting in the forums, but I believe we had a very productive and fun time.  Here are some of the results from that meeting:

• We, as a guild, will try and gain our 4th bank tab.  It’s unconfirmed, but we think it’s 1000g for the next tab.  Any help from the guild will be more than welcomed.
• Thursday night is guild RAIDing night. Dungeon TBD (to be determined)
• Enchanting party has been accepted by the officers, but members must bring their own mats (materials).  Date and time are TBD (to be determined)
• Officer meetings are tentatively set to Tues/Wed at 8 or 9 PM EST, bi-weekly.
• Guild meetings are set to once a month and the location will vary each month.
• In order to get our guild members to have a better way of communication we will restrict guild bank access until each member has registered an account on the forums.  Once it has been confirmed the restriction will be lifted.

You can view the minutes here, in the Town Hall, Minutes from 24 April 2008 Meeting.

Let me tell you, I am totally confused by this port.  I see yellow exclamation marks and question marks all over the place, but I’m having a tough time getting to them.  Booty Bay is a complete maze to me, but I’ll eventually figure it out.  I love their setup for the AH, Bank, and Mailbox - very nice!

So; why am I here in Booty Bay.  Well, first I had a hard time deciding what to do about my priest.  I finally got the mount and I got a bit board - so I started playing my other ALTs (Kathrine, EotE officer, and Anakinn [human paladin]).  I thought I would get Kathrine up-to-speed since I ditched her at level 30 to start my priest.  It was cool, but after a while I realized I’m not getting new content with her - so I’m back on my priest and gaining experience before Wrath of the Lynch King drops.

Recruiting is an ability now open only to officers and higher ranks. This is to help prevent people from slipping back into the guild after being kicked out. If you have alts or spot someone you think would be a good addition to the guild, please feel free to let an officer know who they are if you want them recruited. The standard 14 day wait period between being initiated and becoming a member will still apply for anyone other than an alt. Read the rest of this entry »

We recently had Jorde (not Jordi) quit on us.  We (or rather *I*) had multiple complaints regarding him in that he would ask for instance runs, promising to pay 20 gold(!) then bail on the person by hearthing out after the run was complete.

I had been giving this person the benefit of the doubt, except he would do some odd things that were tripping alarms for me such as offering to pay for our next tab (which would cost 400 gold!), and repeatedly asking how he could get promoted.

It was due to the first complaint that I was hedging on promoting him (which would give much more powerful access to the guild bank), and then I caught another complaint yesterday.

When I went to see when Jorde was on last, I discovered he had quit the guild with no notice to me or anyone I am aware of.

I will not tolerate ANYONE tarnishing our image as a guild, and I ask anyone who sees him on to keep this behavior in mind, and to report him to any guild he may join up in in the future.

 Thank you.

 - Your GM

Just popping in to mention a few minor issues that have cropped up.

I had to pull the ability for members to withdraw a gold a day - it was getting abused. I apologize for any inconvenience there. You can, however, still do bank repairs with no problem.

Also, in recruiting, try to use a little discrimination. If someone has a crude, rude, or otherwise report-worthy name, it’s probably best not to invite them in to the guild. I’m not talking tongue in cheek names here (after all, I have a Tauren named Shullbit over Hordeside), but rather the crude, in your face, “Look at me, I’m on borrowed time until WoW forces a name-change on me!” names. I had to kick an initiate out yesterday for having a name like that and I didn’t like having to do so.

I also had the joy of getting my first whispered complaint from someone outside the guild regarding someones behavior (Not paying the promised money for a DM run). Whether this accusation is true or not, it brings up the point that by being in this guild, you represent not only yourself, but everybody else in the guild. Behave yourself. Its not all that difficult to do.
