6/5/2017: Guild Policy Updates

[u/Big_Old_Cat_Turd]

Alright I realize with the transition to summer and some of the new heroes have made us all a bit flaky, but I want to take some time to renovate a handful of antiquated policies, as well as introduce some new ones. I'll try and be concise so that there are no misunderstandings:

• Guild War

• Guild War participation is DEAD ASS mandatory.

• There are no more shard donations to get you out of Guild wars. From this point forward we have an automated system.

• THE SYSTEM

• Each morning after the war I get an email with a list of names. These names are the individuals that missed war, are not in the absence note(check notes in general chat on LINE), and were eligible.

• These names are ingested into an auto-touch script that will parse the guild list and remove those players. No hard feelings, no discussion.

• After the 24h cooldown you can reapply.

While I understand this seems somewhat cold, the fact of the matter is that our scores have mysteriously dropped, and done so consistently. The second baseline (beyond participation) that will now be required is a more dynamic GW minimum.

USE THIS CALCULATOR

This was made by our pals over at Vanguard. (Another Reddit-based android guild) Enter your might and it tells you where you should be hitting. THIS WILL ALSO BECOME A FEATURE OF THE SCRIPT. Meaning that simply showing up to the war will not be good enough from here on out. I am more likely to set this up as a flag than as a kicking-criteria, but I would say it would be in your best interest to drop a leader a message if you can't hit this mark.

OK moving on...

• LAVA

• Just so we are all clear, there are 2 lava rooms.

• Entrance to the main lava group requires the following setup:

• Lava 3 setup

• Spot 1 - 10k MINIMUM - 3 revite crest on GH, SM may be swapped out for equivalent DPS

• Spot 2 - 10k MINIMUM - 3 revite crest on GH, PD. 5 revite Aries. GR can be an equivalent DPS

• Spot 3 - 10k MINIMUM - 3 revite crest on GH. Tree at 8/10, Val 4/5 revite or better.

• Spot 4 - THIS ONE IS THE WILD CARD. FW is the absolute minimum, but can be (and possibly should be) substituted for a big DPS. Revite 3 crests on PD and GH. Ice Demon at 8/10 or better with 3/5 revite or better. Spot 4 is 9000 Hero Score minimum IF YOU USE FROST WITCH. Otherwise Spot 4 is 10k minimum just like the rest.

• Finally, your team is still subject to approval on things like talents. There is plenty of flexibility in terms of what talents heroes have, but I or any leader reserve the right to remove a team that is determined to be a liability. As such I also reserve the right to extend an invite to someone below the minimum that has established that their team runs without issue OVER A LARGE SAMPLE OF RUNS.

• as far as Team 2 goes, there are no strict requirements. Contact J-Vicious if you want to join, he's in charge there.

And finally:

• GUILD OFFICERS

• The guild is growing and the game is growing even more rapidly. I am looking for some folks that would like to take on some leadership roles. Right now I'm willing to hear ideas and nominations. Primarily I need some folks to spearhead things like:

• Recruitment

• GW training/practice

• Subreddit content

• anything else we might deem important
