Guild:Emerald Dreamers (Staghelm US)

Emerald Dreamers was originally intended as a mostly druid Horde guild, to allow druids to break free of the 'STFUhaelz lol' stigma. With the release of the expansion, this became much less necessary, and it was basically opened to friends and friends of friends.

Overview

 * Server: Server:Staghelm US
 * Faction: Horde


 * Armory: http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/guild-info.xml?r=Staghelm&n=Emerald+Dreamers&p=1

The guild was formed on Staghelm, shortly before the expansion was released, when the Head Treehugger became disgusted with the micromanagement of the raid guild it was his misfortune to get into. Its main intention was to allow a druid to be a druid, instead of a healer, whether they wanted to be Moonkin, bear, ZOMGKITTIESMEWMEWMEW or even a healer. This is not a guild where one can use the phrase "holding the guild back" and mean it. Be what you are, what makes you happy to play, and we will work around that.

If you're interested in joining, send a message to anyone in the guild. (You can search "/who dreamers" to find out who is on) We're accepting any level of druid, and 50+ of other classes.

Guild Progress
Too small at the moment to have any real progress, but we're having fun, which we consider much more important. We are also allied with several small guilds with the intention of being able to do raids and instances.

History
This guild was originaly formed by Azaram and several friends. Due to the changes with the expansion, the need for the guild was much reduced and has recruited few members, but those we have are dedicated to the idea that a game is fun and should be treated as such, rather than a job.

Weekly Raid Schedule
See above, re 'not a job' and 'too small'.

Guild Rules

 * The Computer wants you to be happy. If you are not happy, you may be used as reactor shielding.

-- The people responsible for posting the guild rules have been sacked.--


 * Whoopie Granola Mellowness!

-- ''The people responsible for sacking the people responsible for posting the guild rules, have been sacked. We apologize for the interruption.'' --

Ahem. The guild rules are simple.
 * Have fun. If you are not having fun, tell someone why, and we will do what we can to fix it.
 * If you say you're going to be there for something, be there. It is understood that sometimes life happens. Try and let us know in advance if possible.
 * There Shall Be NO DKP. Period. If you are in a group and pulling your weight, you deserve an equal chance at the drops. If you are not, you will be booted and replaced with someone who will. DKP was a bloody stupid idea from the beginning and has gotten worse with time.

Loot Rules

 * 1) Greed on BoE.
 * 2) Pass on BoP even if it's the one thing in the entire game that you've ever wanted. Once it's been passed on, discuss who gets it.
 * 3) Ask before clicking need. But see #2 above.
 * 4) If two people want it, the one for whom it is the best upgrade should get it, and:
 * 5) Someone who will use an item has priority over someone who just wants to sell it. If you receive an item in this way, equip it immediately, even if you're not going to use it right now.
 * 6) Rule 6: There is no Rule 6.
 * 7) If you won something already and other people want something else, you are encouraged to pass. This is not an official rule, however.
 * 8) Don't loot during fights. The loot will be there afterward, and lootboxes unexpectedly popping up can cause deaths.
 * 9) Don't loot a boss until everyone is there. If someone is dead, wait for them to be rezzed.
 * 10) Nothing is unique. It will come again. If you don't get it this time, you'll get it next time.

Note that these are our guild rules. Unless we're all in the same guild, it's best to ask at the beginning what rules are being followed, to avoid friction.
