Although a mis-ranking would not be the OMGENDOFTHE FRICKINGWORLD, it's smoother for all parties if we have all the pertinent information before we beginsorting things out. Thanks. :)]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hello Lads and Ladies, and those of you yet to decide, I thought it was about time I popped by and said hello, its been a while and I kinda missed hearing you. Wang suggested I create an account here and catch up with you all, so here it is.

In case you are wondering what I have been up to, well, I am a dad now, Angus is going to be 2 in March, I have been pretty busy with work this year, I was posted to the Waiouru Army base for 6 months (An army base, is there any greater horror for a Bootneck?). I seem to spend either all my time working, playing with Angus (he is getting to be a really good soccer player) or hunting (I managed to get a nice 12 point red stag last Roar season).
I have a large number of new and highly dubious stories, as well as the old favourites, but those can wait for later.

See you around,


Grom.]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[Hi,  It's me, Gili/Sweettea, the recruiting officer of Raising Hackles. Recently some real life issues kept me away from my computer except for much of the time. The small amount of time I did find myself at the computer, I was generally rushing to make raid times or signing on for very short periods of time.  I apologize to anyone whose application fell thru the cracks.  

In the future, if anyone posts an application here and does not receive an response on the forums within 48 hours or less, please contact an officer of Raising Hackles in game and we will set things right. We have a great deal of respect for our members and friends and I would like to extend that spirit of respect and courtesy to our applicants as well.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!]]></summary>

We are always open to broadening our member base with fun and mature players.  Please be sure to read the [url=http://raisinghackles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=20#p20]Raising Hackles Guild Charter[/url] for the rules and general information about the guild.


[b]See below post for our current recruiting needs.  [/b] During your recruitment period, you will be allowed to have one level 80 toon tagged and you will be expected to attend guild events when possible so that the other members can get a feel for you, your play-style, and your personality.
[i][b]
INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS:[/b][/i]
1. Register with the user name of the level 80 toon with whom you are applying to Raising Hackles.
2. Read the Guild Charter.
3. Await account approval. An officer will verify that the applicant is valid WoW user and enable posting (apologies for the anti-spam mechanism).
4. Complete the [url=http://raisinghackles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=66]application[/url].

Please don't be discouraged if it takes a day or two for us to review your application and catch you in-game; occasionally raiding and other concerns may delay us from reviewing your application immediately.

			<title type="html"><![CDATA[Raid Member Requirements]]></title>
			<link rel="alternate" href="http://raisinghackles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=852&amp;action=new"/>
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[[i]Our charter allows for two separate ranks for main toons of members of Raising Hackles.  At this time we are adopting a more definitive list of "additional responsibilities " as noted in our the charter.[/i]

We are all part of a team and the goal is success of the team as a whole. During a raid, each member performs a vital function. The following requirements are made with that goal in mind.  You will be expect to be the best you possibly can be because 24 people are relying on you to bring your utmost best at all times. 

[b]Character[/b] 
First and foremost, you should be intimately familiar with your class and up to date on information that will help you be the best you can be in that class.  You are also expected to keep up to date on issues related to your class. This means researching on sites known for theorycrafting and information. Elitisjerks.com is a great site, and there are others out there as well. If you do not know where to start, ask an officer. Similarly, if you know a great place to start, then [url=http://raisinghackles.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=26]share it[/url] with your fellow guildies.

[b]Gear[/b]  
All gear should be properly enchanted and gemmed.  We realize armor modification can be costly, but if you are serious about being your best, you will find a way to get the improvements needed. If you need someone to enchant your gear, then check the [url=http://raisinghackles.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=8]Professions forum[/url] or simply ask in raid/guild.

[i]Requirements[/i]
-Minimum of Epic quality gems
-Extra socket on belt
-Jewelcrafter cut Meta-gem
-No spell penetration socketing or enchanting
-Proper enchants to maximize your specialization and gear selection
-Endgame Enchants
-Enchanted weapons and off-hand weapons if applicable
-Head glyphs
-Shoulder enchants (Hodir)
-Leg threading and armor kits
-Cloak enchants
-Food buffs for each encounter
-Consumables for each encounter
-Weapon enhancements (poisons, etc. - as applicable)
-Flasks

[b]Consumables[/b]
You are expected to bring an adequate supply of consumable food, flasks, weapon enhancements (if applicable) to every raid. Please be prepared for at  least 3 full hours of raiding and bring adequate consumables. Again, both the [url=http://raisinghackles.com/forums/viewforum.php?id=8]forum[/url] and good ol' /g are good places to find folks to make your consumables.

[b]Performance[/b]
Your performance will be reviewed on a regular basis using parsed combat logs ala [url=http://wowwebstats.com/lod52bgtzvfqy]wowwebstats[/url]. Anyone can have an off night, so performance will be based on overall consistent output. If you are having a really bad night, you might consider asking the raid leader to replace you for the evening.

[i]DPS:[/i]
Minimum of 5000 dps for 10-man raids and 6500 for 25-man raids.

[i]Tanks:[/i]
Minimum of 40k health for Death Knights, Paladins and Warriors, 540 Defense
Minimum of 50k health for Druids, 3/3 Survival of the Fittest

[i]Healers:[/i]
Minimum 3000 +heal
Ability to manage mana

*The above standards are a [b]TEMPORARY MINIMUM [/b]– Please strive to not just meet the minimum, but go ahead and excel in your class role. Keep in mind that these standards will definitely increase as everyone gets used to pushing for standard limits and as we progress through content.

[b]Attendance[/b]
Official signups are done via the in-game calendar, and raid members are expected to sign up as early as possible, but never later than 24 hours before a run. A raid member who does not sign up on the calendar is not guaranteed a spot and loses any priority over social members.  You are expected to be on time and ready to raid at least 67% (or 2 out of 3) of our scheduled raids. 75% attendance is preferred.  If you cannot make a raid that you have signed up for or you need an extended leave of absence for personal reasons, you are expected to notify an officer as soon as possible.  Raid members who do not fulfill the attendance requirements will be warned first and ultimately have their status changed to social. 

[b]Encounter Knowledge[/b] 
You are expected to keep yourself informed on current progress content. This includes reading strats and watching how-to videos.  From time to the Raid Leader might call a short afk so that everyone can review a strat video on a progression boss. These will generally be from one of 2 sites. ([url=http://www.bosskillers.com/]Bosskillers[/url] or [url=http://www.tankspot.com/]Tankspot[/url])  If you cannot do this during play due to computer issues, you are expected to seek out the information you need on your own time.  The raid leader may refer to one of these sites during a raid without dismissing for a video review, so please be familiar with them.

[b]Attitude/Behavior[/b] 
As a raiding member of Raising Hackles, you are charged with the responsibility of representing your guild with honor, grace and dignity.  When you speak on Ventrilo,  you are expected to be mindful of the Raid Leader at all times. Do not interrupt anyone rudely and do not whine if your strat suggestion is not immediately adopted by the RL. Discussion is important and suggestions are taken into consideration – that does not mean we will try each and every strat that is discussed. If you have a suggestion on strategy, please whisper the raid leader.  This will keep confusion to a minimum.  The RL may or may not ask you to embellish on your suggestion.  

That said, we all like to joke around and have a good time. Just keep the joking and rowdy behavior to a minimum during the pull at hand.]]></summary>
