Guild:Republic (Dawnbringer US)

Republic is an Alliance guild on the Dawnbringer (US) server. Republic is a casual raiding guild with very strong social & community aspects. Some members engage in occasional Player versus Player and arena content, however, the majority of our membership is focused on raiding. We all have work & personal lives outside of Warcraft, but yet, we enjoy the game and would like to progress though end-game content at our own pace.

History
Republic was formed in January, 2009.

The known Founding Members are:
 * Julius (Guild Master)
 * Dannyk (Assistant GM)
 * Cancion (Assistant GM)
 * Phixius
 * Fenfore

After being founded, the guild steadily grew as a leveling/questing guild. Approximately a month after Republic's founding, the Guild Master and one of his assistants (Dannyk), stopped playing the game, leaving the guild with a leadership vacuum at the top. At this point, Assistant GM Cancion stepped in to take leadership of the guild even though she only had limited access due to her position.

Cancion polled all of the members of the guild about how best to proceed if Julius and Dannyk were not coming back. It was the decision of the membership to petition for the removal of Julius and Dannyk, and the promotion of Cancion to Guild Master. After both Julius and Dannyk had been gone for thirty days, Cancion petitioned Blizzard for a change of command, and it was granted. Julius and Dannyk were booted from the guild and Cancion was promoted to Guild Master.

Having gained full access to our guild, Cancion again polled the members of Republic to determine how to proceed in selecting new guild officers for Republic. After giving the membership a chance to vote on who they would like to see as their officers, Mahler was elected as Guild Master, Cancion and Funkeyg were selected as Assistants. Four Prefects were also selected: Snowprincess, Phixius, Brega, and Nightrazor.

With our new officers in place, Republic began to grow as a guild and as a family. Along the way, Funkeyg chose to transfer to a different server, and Snowprincess was chosen to take his place as Assistant Guild Master.

As Republic grew in size and reputation, many members came to us from other guilds. Republic welcomed members from the guilds Bloodsoul Knights, Salvation, & Resurrection, along with many others. Our inlux of new members and an increasing number of members achieveing level 80, made clear the importance of expanding the guild leadership to assist with raiding and Recuiting. To that end, Loreth was named Republic's fisrt Raid Leader and Addie was selected to head up recruiting efforts. As raiding required us to have increased communication and improved strategy, the Republic website was founded and Blain was appointed as the guild's first Webmaster.
