Infallible Guild Charter

All guild members and applicants are expected to read and understand this charter. The guild will operate under these guidelines, so all members of Infallible should be aware of its contents.

Biography

Infallible was formed shortly after The Burning Crusade was released. Its initial core of players split off from The First Fleet, a solid guild with which we remain on good terms. Several months after the guild was formed we merged with Climax which was a spin off of Catalyst.

Since the guild was formed, Infallible has grown immensely in both size and accomplishment. The guild first began raiding in early 2007 and has enjoyed a multitude of boss kills in end-game content. We are primarily a raiding guild but with plenty of opportunity to enjoy other aspects of the game. The guild maintains a casual and friendly atmosphere, minimizing pressure and making the game more enjoyable for all of our members.

In terms of progression, Infallible has really come into it's own since the start of Ulduar hard modes, culminating in a World #86 Yogg+0 kill. With the release of Icecrown and its hardmodes, we have bettered our world and US ranking, reaching top 50 and top 25 respectively. Our goal is to constantly improve and we expect the same of our raiders.

Guild Masters and Officers are always available to help our members with in-game problems, guild issues/questions/information, and are always working to provide the best environment possible for our raiders.

Objectives

Infallible is a raiding guild - nothing more, nothing less. As such, our objectives are:

  • Put plainly, we want to be the best group of 25 people that we can possibly be.
  • To progress through normal and hard mode content as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • To have fun. You know how you have fun? You kill bosses without wiping a million times.

Code of Conduct

Our code of conduct is simple. Respect your officers, respect your fellow raiders, and don't cause problems. Follow these rules, and you'll be just fine.

Raiding

To raid with us you must have the following:

Other highly recommended addons:

Addons won't play the game for you but they can be invaluable assets. If you can play perfectly fine with a default ui, all the power to you.

The officers decide who will be attending raids. It is expected that you give them as much notice as possible for scheduling conflicts. We know things happen outside of WoW that take precedence over raids, so just let us know.

General Raiding Rules

  • Know your character, his/her abilities and limits.
  • Obey your raid leader, GMs and officers.
  • Do not flood chat or Vent with chatter during boss fights or new content. Do this (unless you are Arugaris with the Rhubarb Pie recipe) and you'll be muted/ignored/etc. Just don't.
  • Be repaired and prepared to raid. Don't count on someone to drop a Jeeves for you 3 wipes into working on a new boss.
  • Always let your Class Master or the Raid Leader know before you go AFK.
  • All Raiders that begin a raid are expected to stay until the scheduled finish time unless other arrangements have been made.

To put it plainly, your job as a raider is to show up and fill your role to the best of your ability. If you suck, you will be replaced. If you don't show up or are frequently late, you will be replaced. The idea here is we aren't trying to "take your spot" or "give your spot away" - the position goes to whoever deserves it most. They are yours to be earned.

Loot Distribution

Infallible distributes loot through a loot council, run by officers. While there is no real system to awarding loot, a number of factors are taken into account when deciding who gets a shiny new epic:

  • Recently awarded items (loot history).
    *Past items received are posted in the guild forums on a regular basis for your reference.*
  • Raid attendance
  • Raid performance
  • Magnitude and value of the upgrade and how it affects overall raid dps

For example. A pair of shiny new Plate DPS boots drop. Jimmy the Ret Pally and Sammy the MS Warrior both link. Jimmy shows up on a regular basis and does much better dps than Sammy, and has taken the same amount of loot - therefore, the officers will vote for Jimmy. Pretty easy to understand.

Leaves of Absence

Please let your officer know if you will need to be away from the game for any period of time. This is what the Notification forum is for - use it.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask any officer or GM privately or in the forums.
