Nyx

Application Procedure Phase 3 DocumentnnThank you for your application to join Tribe Nyx. We would like to share some things about the Tribe before we move on to the final phase of your application process.nnPlease read ALL of the following information. You WILL be quizzed on this reading. Stand ready to answer all questions regarding this Phase Two document.nnFirst and foremost, Nyx is a Role Playing Guild. While we are heavily involved in both PvP and PvE Raiding, our first Love, and our Lore is heavily wrapped around the Role Play that you will find throughout our Forums. If you do not enjoy immersion in Role Play, you will probably not find us to be a good fit for you. nn Read more about how to Role Play atn*http://thenyx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=507 n*http://thenyx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=6641&p=42389#p42389n* http://thenyx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=4486&hilit=Hearthstone+and+you n *http://thenyx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=6202&p=39014&hilit=hearthstone+and+you#p39014nnWe do not have any set standard that you must adhere to in your form of Role Play. Each player has to find their own comfort level. If you choose not to participate as heavily as some do, then we simply ask that you treat others with respect in their chosen Role Play style.nnCHATTINGnFor the most part, Raid, Guild, and Party chat are primarily OOC (out of character). However, many of us remain IC (in character) no matter where we are, or what we are doing. Public demonstrations of any kind are expected ALWAYS to be in character. IF you are wearing a Nyxian insignia above your head, you represent us, and we expect you to act accordingly in your public conduct, whether in say, yell, emote, etc.nnCODE OF CONDUCTnPlease READ the Nyxian Code of Conduct at http://thenyx.org/?page_id=18.nThere are a few things we would like to emphasize, as there are many things common among gamers that are not acceptable to Nyxians. This is not limited to, but includes:n1. Language: Use of foul language (words such as “rape” or “gay”, etc.) is not appreciated and will bring immediate offense.n2. Respect: Use of any form of racial slur (reality based), gender or sexual preference stereotypes , or other hurtful or non PC words is not acceptable in any form or context. (This precludes appropriate role play while in a PvP venue against an Alliance adversary, in game.)n3. Honorable PvP: We do not condone ganking lowbies out doing their dailies just because you can. Further, negative emotes or spamming after a kill is not considered honorable.nnPlease Read:nviewtopic.php?f=21&t=3577nWarburnnPost subject: Nyx Code of Honor During WarnPosted: Fri Nov 13, 2009 5:03 pm nnRAIDINGnWhen last checked (http://emeralddream-us.warcrafter.net/), Tribe Nyx stood in a high position of the Raiding guilds (Horde and Alliance combined) of Emerald Dream. What that means is that our Tribe is in the top 20 of Emerald Dream Raiding guilds in Membership, Gear Score and Instances full cleared. Our present PvE Raiding venue includes up to 10M ICC, 10M / 25M ToC, 10M / 25M Ulduar, and 10M / 25M Naxxramas and Vault; with numerous raids scheduled each week - and is flexible based on membership demand. Our present PvP Raiding venue includes frequent role play Raids against participating Alliance on a regular basis, along with frequent other Role Play events organized by the Tribe and various other Role Play guilds (both Horde and Alliance participating).nnAs of Today:nhttp://emeralddream-us.warcrafter.net/? ... &flip=descn

10. Horde Nyx 411 1838 30 >24k 100% 50% 50%

nnOur Raid Leaders WILL require the following add ons, if you choose to participate in Guild Raids:n nOmen, and DeadlyBossMods or BigWigs (which can all be downloaded at WowMatrix: http://www.wowmatrix.com/addons/ or Curse: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/default.aspx).nnVentrilo (which can be downloaded at http://www.ventrilo.com). You are not required to talk, but you must be able to hear the Raid Leader’s instructions.nnRaids are noted on the in game calendar, where all sign ups are done, and you must sign up there to participate in Nyxian Raids. Raid times are ALWAYS ST (Server Time) or CST (Central Standard Time).nnNyxian Raids are called up 15 to 30 minutes before start time, and you must be ready, or be replaced. Telling the Raid Leader that "I am nearly done with the dungeon I am in and will be right there", or "I have to run to WalMart real quick" is not acceptable.nnPlease Read:nviewtopic.php?f=9&t=3511nHristoforosnPost subject: Consequences of No-shows and late-shows!nPosted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 1:24 pmnnLOOTINGnWe expect standard courtesy on any group runs. Guild sponsored 10M runs are managed by a Master Looter, whose word is final. Guild sponsored 25M runs are managed by a Master Looter on a plus 1 system. Joint Guild Runs (for instance Nyx and Iron Serpents in 25M Vault or Naxx) are managed by a Loot Council whose word is final.nnROLLSnMain set rolls are called first. If no one rolls for main set, then Off set/RP set rolls are called. If no one rolls for Off/RP set, then the item is typically DE’ed or if BoE then sent to the Guild Bank for later use. If a person wins a Main set item, then they are asked to pass on the next Main set item, unless no one else wants it for Main.nnWORLD AT WARnIn closing, we would also like to point out that due to the nature of our on going RP story line, in conjunction with our PvP (Ward of War) activities (links for both listed below), we are heavily immersed in an active war with several guilds of the opposing faction. IF you should come to represent us, with the name of Tribe Nyx flying above your forehead, you will also place your yourself squarely in the cross hairs of war.nnBlood and Thunder Chapter 1: The First World War (Open RP)nviewtopic.php?f=13&t=3100nnHow the World War Began.....nviewtopic.php?f=15&t=2794&start=0

WARD OF LORE GUIDELINESnas of 20 August 2010nnChattingnThe Ward of Lore requires you to be fully In Character (( IC )) at all times when speaking in these channels ... /yell ... /say ... /guild ... Any emotes you use must also be In Character. Only one exception is allowed and that is when you have clearly defined yourself as being Out of Character (( OoC )) with out of character brackets.nnCode of ConductnAll members of the Ward of Lore need to be aware and respectful of EVERYONE'S RP, even the Alliance! This means that if you are contacted by an Alliance member and are informed that you are griefing their RP, you need to take a good strong look at the situation and evaluate whether or not you are griefing an RP session. If you are, STOP IT!nnThe Emerald Dream is an RPPvP server, which means PvP is GOING to happen. World PvP is rampant. But the Ward of Lore does not condone RP griefing of any kind what so ever. IF you are found to be RP griefing, it can result in a Ward kick. nnRequirementsnThe Ward of Lore has neither gear nor level requirements. All that We ask is that you lead through example.nnWhen in a large discussion in guild chat you must remain In Character and not let yourself get carried away in any Out of Character banter without using OoC brackets. Also, it is required that if you find someone struggling with their RP offer to lend them a hand (privately whispered, do not embarrass them in public).nnOUR MISSIONnWe, the Ward of Lore, seek to bring a friendly and fun filled RP environment to Tribe Nyx. To accomplish this we shall lead by example remaining In Character at all possible times, and always using appropriate out of character brackets whenever they are necessary.nnWe strive to interact with all other Wards and bring a taste of Role-playing to them as well. Role-playing in a raid or a battleground is greatly encouraged shall never be frowned upon. This Ward shall always help and encourage people to join in all our Role-play actions.nnWe are here to guide those who are in the dark to the ways and joys of a strong and friendly Role-playing community.
