1. "Current Content" is defined as any raid instance for which there is an OOE raid posted within the next 4 days (raid Signups are made in this forum).
2. If a guild member signs up for, yet is not included in a particular raid (alted), they may attend an out-of-guild raid for that content - without permission - prior to the raid-ID reset.
3. If any other circumstances arise where a member would like to attend an out-of-guild raid for content that IS being covered, they must ask for permission from the Guild Lord (Infynite) or any Council Officer prior to attending. This is best done via private message here on the OOE Message Board.

1. Anyone wishing to attend Raids sponsored by OoE must sign up on the OoE Website in the "Raids and Events" Forum.
2. Sign up if you have any intentions of attending the raid and indicate if there are any stipulations to your availability. Letting us know ahead of time helps us prepare.
3. Signups must be registered at least 1 day prior to the event to give time to formulate the list. As a general rule signups are opened 2 days prior to the event.
4. If a sign-up link is provided on the signup notification post, you must use it.
5. If the signup call post specifies a certain rating or proficiency level to qualify, it is the responsibility of the raider/player to have this verified with an officer of the guild at least 1 hour prior to raid start time.
6. Expected Raid Duration will be specified in the signup post. Those who sign up commit to attending the entire event.
7. You may be required to post information as to your Resists or Abilities-the signup utility will inform you if this is the case.
8. If you do sign up for an OOE Raid, you're expected to preserve your raid ID for that instance.
9. New raiders and less frequent attendees are always encouraged to sign up.

1. Raid attendance slots are comprised of a split between those given preference due to their attendance and randomly chosen players for the remainder. The ratio of these two factors varies based on the needs of the encounter (e.g., experience -vs- wider participation).
2. Those not chosen for a raid slot are placed on the "Alternates" list. Empty slots at raid start time are filled from this list in no particular order with the emphasis on raid/class balance.
3. Those on the Alternates List will receive credit for attending that raid as long as 1) They're online and ready to attend at raid start time. 2) They have checked in.
4. Any Alternate who is placed on the Alternates list three times consecutively (due to any reason) will be automatically included in the next raid they sign up for. This rule is intended to prevent anyone with poor luck from being excluded repeatedly

1. Any components they need for spells/buffs
2. Bag space
3. Fully repaired gear
4. Backup source of food and water
5. A Macro that says '/assist <name of ma to be put here>'. We use a MA/MT system where the main assist will be taking the first target of the main tank in battle, and the raid will assist the MA so the main tank can manage group aggro. Assist macros are important to focus damage and allow crowd control to do their job.
6. We also highly recommend first aid as a skill for all raiders, regardless of class. Self heals and free heals are often important in large fights where the healers cannot watch everyone, and can be the key to success.

1. Invites will be started within an hour of start time.
2. Raiders are expected to be in the designated raid channel and contact the check-in person (who will be named by the raidleader).
3. Raiders must be attuned via quest.
4. Level 80 Raiders will be given first priority, but those of an appropriately-close level may be included when there is need, at the raidleader's discretion.

7. Summoning: Please do not expect a summon to the raid. We will offer summons if we are in a position to do so, but most of us run to the raid area, and we would ask that you do the same. You may ask for a summon to a raid site at any time, but please understand that you may not get one.

8. Non-Guild Players on OoE Raids: Non guild members and friends may be invited at the discretion of the raidleaders. Attendance at OoE raids must be cleared well in advance with the raidleader. Guild members take priority for raid spots, but guild members may be left out of the raid if they are late for start time and the spots have been filled.

9. Un-Official OoE Raids: Any guild member, at any time, can run their own raid (member-raids are highly encouraged, as a matter of fact). To do this, first coordinate with an officer then post a message in the appropriate section on the message board - clearly state what (objective, basic strategy, prerequisites), where (where should people meet) and when (date and time with time-zone). Give people time to plan for your raid. You can also request an officer add to the guild MOTD an announcement for your upcoming event.

10. Raid Etiquette: 

1. All raiders are expected to SIGN UP even if they think they'll be late, or theres only a small chance they'll be able to make it.
2. All raiders are expected to listen to the instructions given over team speak/raid channel and follow them.
3. Expect the raid to last until its posted time; however, it may be extended one-half hour at the discretion of the raidleader after input (or a vote) is solicited from the raiders.
4. Although the point is to have fun, without structure nothing would get accomplished. Chatter in raidsay, although acceptable, should be kept to a minimum
5. Each person is expected to do his/her job - standing around when you should be engaging or vice-versa is counterproductive.
6. No person may loot except with permission. Do not kneel on any corpse unless you're asked to do so.
7. Ask for buffs specifically to someone who can give you what you want. Do not ask for buffs, water, etc as a general question in raidsay.

1. All loot will be determined on a Can-And-Will-Use basis with preference given to Mains. In those cases where raidleaders specifically request an alt be brought (for the benefit of the raid), that alt will be treated AS a main for loot purposes.
2. Raiders are limited to one upgrade per raid per night.
3. If you do not sign up, but show up to raid then you will be unable to roll on ANY loot until after you defeat one boss with the group that night.
4. If you are late to the raid, and have not notified anyone that you will be late, then you will be unable to roll on ANY loot until after you defeat one boss with the group that night.
5. Resist Gear, Recipes, Quest Items and Defaulted Drops (defaulted being those items which represent no desired CAWU/Upgrade for anyone) generally do not count against the "one upgrade per raid per night" stipulation but may be limited by the raidleader in the interest of fairness (see raidleader for details).

1. General Order of Eternity maintains a cache of items for use by its members.

1. The guild bank is administered by an officer appointed to do so. A list of current officers is available in the "Guild Members" forum at the top with the thread title "Officers of OOE"
2. Items available in the Guild Bank can be accessed from the clickable, in-game "Guild Vault". You can find Guild Vaults near your bank.
3. Only fully-guilded (Crusader rank or higher) members may withdraw or request items from the guild vault.
4. Donations to the guildbank are welcome at any time, simply mail items to the character "Ooebank" (Do NOT directly deposit items, send them to "OOEBANK"

1. Fully-guilded members may withdrawal items from any of the Guild Vault tabs marked "Full Access" (first two tabs).
2. Items may only be withdrawn if a member has an immediate need for them (not to "stockpile" or over time).
3. Members found to be excessively withdrawing may be required to justify their withdrawals
4. Items from the Third and Fourth (Gear and Rares) may be requested by sending a request to the officer in charge of managing the Guild Bank (A list of current officers is available in the "Guild Members" forum at the top with the thread title "Officers of OOE"); include the character and level (on which the items will be used) as well as what item(s) the request will be replacing. Other officers assisting members in this way should send a message to the appointed Guild Bank Officer saying whom the item was for as well as any other pertinent details.
5. Your request will be responded to within a timely fashion (one week or less). To expedite the process, use the message board for requests instead of in-game mail.

1. You must be of appropriate level and class to request or withdrawal items. Items may be restricted to class or level at the officers' discretion.
2. For requests, main characters have preference over alternate characters of members for banked items. Alternate characters will be considered if there are no mains with the appropriate level for the item and the alternate character in question is played regularly.
3. When more than one member requests an item and both players are of equal eligibility (as stated above), the officers will make a determination based on level, class, playtime, and proportionate upgrade potential -or the item will be rolled between interested parties by an officer of the guild.
4. Guildbanked items may not be borrowed or removed for selling or disenchanting. If you have replaced a withdrawn item and it is soulbound, you may vendor or disenchant it as you like.
5. Any member receiving recipes from the guildbank must be willing to craft the item at no cost to a guildmate should the appropriate materials be provided.

G.  MANAGEMENT 

1. Guild Management consists of the guild Lord, Lady, Chancellor and Officers for a maximum of 10. If, for any reason, circumstances lead to OoE having more, promotions will be suspended until this number is met. A list of current officers is available in the "Guild Members" forum at the top with the thread title "Officers of OOE"

2. Policy and decisions are made using the officer's section of the guild message board. It is the duty of every officer to contribute. Unless the situation warrants a quicker response, any active vote or discussion topic will be ran for one week (defined as 1 week from the date of the initial post); at which time the guild Lord will make a decision (or approve/disapprove any vote, as appropriate). The guild Lord is not tied to any vote tally or majority opinion and may rule on any decision at any time.

3. Officer Promotions: When a vacancy exists, the guild Lord will solicit nominees or submit his own. A discussion will be held after which the Lord will make his decision.

4. Officer Demotions: Officers may be demoted from their post three ways:

1. Bad Conduct (See paragraph D2)
   
2. Self-Removal (Resign)
   
3. Inactivity In Game: Officers are expected to fulfill their duties and/or participate in the affairs of the guild. Being staged within the game World of Warcraft, a necessary part of this is actually playing. Officers who are absent, or do not participate in-game for long periods of time (generally 1 month or more) may be demoted at the discretion of the guild Lord. This is not, and should not be viewed as a punitive measure. Return to participation/active gameplay may constitute reinstatement at the discretion of the guild Lord (and may cause an overage in the officer cadre, see paragraph G1)
   
4. Inactivity in Guild Management: Policy and decisions are made primarily using the officer's section of the guild message board (or other means of officer communication), and it is the duty of every officer to contribute. Those not contributing to the in this way may be demoted at the Guild Lord's discretion.
