Charter

1. Our primary goals are to provide our guild with an atmosphere where we can have fun, explore, and develop our characters. We will accept all races and all classes. We look for commitment, loyalty, patience, maturity, honor, courage, humility, and above all putting guild brethren above thyself.



2. Roleplaying is not required, however it is encouraged, appreciated and respected.



3. When on as a guilded character the guild should always come first. We give more than we take; we help out those who need it. We don’t ask for much, but loyalty is a must. Respect the chain of command. The officers earned their positions and deserve the respect.



4. If you are in need of an item or have an item to give, please post in the Vault (on our message board). Do not beg members and officers for free items or to be twinked. We do have a guild armory and will loan items when possible by what is listed as wanted in the Vault. We also keep a wish list -- one character per player can post one item they would like assistance with. (This is used to help members get what they want and to assist with setting up raids and keeping the guild active).



5. New recuits need to be level 12 to be invited to join the guild. The reason for this is people start characters, decide they don’t like them and they delete them. That makes it really hard for us to keep track of who is really in the guild. If someone takes the time to play the character this far, you know they will continue to play him/her. This requirement can only be bypassed with the Guild Leaders' Approval.



6. Recruitment will be a slow and careful process. The Officers needs sufficient time to evaluate potential candidates to insure their goals are in alignment with ours. However, when we do find someone with the same goals as ours, we do not hesitate to bring them into the guild. ALL new recruits are on a 60-day trial period for the benefit of both parties.



7. Upon acceptance, the Guild Officers will guide new recruits toward their acclimation into the guild. Any questions can be answered by your OIC (Officer In Charge) or your sponsor. You will allso be required to register your character with guildmagic and join Bruin's Marauders there, and to keep an eye on our guild message boards, as that is where all events, news and info will be posted.



8. It is expected of all members to assist when they can , however just because someone has teleport, resurrect, locate corpse, etc. does not mean they are at your beck and call to do these things. You may "request assistance" with these things and usually a guildmate has will assist if they can.



9. If the guild has an official event (hosting or being invited to a raid, language faire etc) and you have a character of the apropriate level and have no prior engagements or real-world demands to keep you from going, you are required to attend.



10. A reasonable request by an officer should be carried out as soon as possible (a reasonable request DOES NOT MEAN "camp this for me"). It would be more like since your in the area can you help soandso find his corpse.



11. Keep the guild channel talkative, but not filled with spam. In other words don’t hesitate to ask advice, get a price check, look for people to group with etc. using guild channel.



12. Use of /anon IS UNACCEPTABLE! If you like you may use /roleplay instead. Show pride in your guild-tag!



13. Any problems, concerns or ideas should go through the propper channels. (the chain of command is class OIC, first sergeant, executive officer, commanding officer)



14. Represent the guild with pride and in a way as to give the guild a good name.

Acts of unacceptable behavior include:

• Asking repeatedly for free stuff (the giving of free items by another guild member is an act of kindness and is not expected).



• Trashing guild members, through guild, tells, /ooc’s or /shouts.



• Excessive cursing over the guild channel.



• Excessive whining and griping (we all gripe occasionally, though).



• Asking repeatedly to be Power-Leveled (if a member agrees to power level you, that is their choice, but asking member after member is unacceptable).

Removal:

• Abusing the guild and its members will also subject you to removal.



• Characters that go missing in action may be subject to removal unless they become active or found.

Members are encouraged to report offenders to the first available officer. Officers are then to report this action to the Guild Leader. If you have a problem with another member, please try to work it out. If the problem can not be worked out, please feel free to ask an officer to help you with the problem.

Joining Our Guild

Our requirements for membership are as given below. If you meet these requirements and wish to apply for membership in our guild, use this form.

• If you don't yet have any characters in the guild, you must be at least level twelve.
• If you already have a character in the guild, any other character must be at least level eight.
• You must have an up to date profile with http://www.magelo.com.

Process

Everyone looking to join Bruin’s Marauders is required to fill out an application.

We also need to group with you a couple times before an invitation can be extended. This is used as a feeling-out period, so that you can see what we’re about as a guild, and we can see if you would fit within the dynamics of our guild. The easiest way to ensure this is to join our application channel in game, (/join BMApp) and introduce yourself. You can also use this as a way to get to know members of our guild. Sometimes the channel is quiet, so please, make your presence known.

After a couple group, or a couple raids, the decision on whether to extend an invitation will be made. We will let you know either way.

**Some notes on filling out your application

We encourage you to spend a few minutes on your application – this is the easiest forum to tell us about yourself and your characters. You can include things like:
•        How long you’ve been playing
•        What guilds you have been in
•        What you’re looking for
•        The story of your character (if you are a role-player)
•        Your playtimes/playstyles
•        If you list some members of Bruins Marauders that you have grouped with in the past, and feel might recommend you, we can use their input to come to a speedier conclusion about inviting you.
