Guild:Mean Girls (Garona US)

Introduction
Mean Girls is a group of GLBT-friendly (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered) adult raiders who are want to provide an open, inclusive, and maybe a little bit sassy WoW experience for those Horde members looking for a home on Garona. They strive to provide an inclusive and entertaining WoW experience for all of its members.

Currently, the guild is focused on progression raiding in ICC. The raid schedule is typically three days per week (Thursday, Sunday, Monday) beginning at 7:00pm server time (CST). However, it is subject to change depending on the lives of the guild members because the group is flexible to the ever-changing demands of real life!

History
Mean Girls was founded in April, 2010 by a group of like-minded GLBT players who wanted to create a progression raiding experience for others on Garona server. Its founding members were nurtured by the wonderful people in Spectrum Rage and the two guilds maintain a friendly, collaborative relationship.

Guild Policies
Mean Girls members value kindness, fair play, and respect for others over in-game success. All members strive to ensure a positive environment in which everyone can enjoy the fruits of our collective labor.

Mean Girls has established the following policies to ensure that we maintain our status as a fun, friendly, and cooperative guild in the Garona realm.

Diversity and Respect
We are a diverse guild made up of people from all parts of the world. At all times we should strive to be respectful of all other players and act in a respectable manner. To accomplish this we expect our members to refrain from personal attacks or the use of language that is demeaning, derogatory, or insulting. Disagreements should never be aired over guild chat – rather should be taken to tells.

Real Life
Real life takes precedence over World of Warcraft! We know WoW is a fun game, but we also know that everyone has a life outside of Azeroth. All Mean Girls members will be respectful of others' real life situations, circumstances, and emergencies. That being said, players should let people know before they log and not sign up for a raid if they anticipate an early departure.

Fun
Any games that we are involved in we play because they are enjoyable. We come together because we like to have a good time with each other. Some aspects of the game are more difficult than others but it shouldn’t feel like work. When we stop having fun we will stop playing. All Mean Girls members will strive to keep Warcraft fun for all players!

Commitment
Mean Girls members honor their commitments. Before you agree to attend an event realistically determine if you will actually be able to attend. If you say you are going to participate in something please be sure that you show up on time and prepared. When you cannot attend please either let us know on the boards or in game.

Teamwork
It is our goal to work together as a well tuned machine. To accomplish this we have to know our roles, listen to the leaders, be open to new suggestions, and help guildmates that need it. Mean Girls members are willing to help one another so do not be afraid to post requests on the boards.

Integrity
We always do what we know is right even if it is at a cost to ourselves. The use of 3rd party hacks and cheats will not be allowed.

Finances
We have a wide variety of interests in the guild from PvP to raiding to socializing. In order to protect the interests of the folks who put the time and effort into raids, a section of the bank will be deemed as raid materials, and will only be available to individuals who raid. We are still in the process of sorting out access levels to our bank and guild gold, so feedback is encouraged!

Loyalty
As a member of our guild, we expect you to abide by these policies. Those members who prove themselves strong and positive team players will be promoted within the guild. We also encourage members to invite in or out of game friends or family to join our team!

(Context appropriate) Maturity
We ask that all members be 18 years or older. Molding impressionable youths into our Mean Girl image is probably best done elsewhere. Also, the some of the officers are potty mouths that enjoy the occasional poop/fart joke and lightheartedly calling each other grotsky b*tches. The art is knowing when to be serious, and when to show off your ascii "bewbs/ePeen" macro.
