Definitive Rules:
1: All members must have guild chat turned on in the game preferences. This is how we communicate announcements, upcoming Raids, and what's going on with the guild. Chat is in English. Non-English speaking members should provide there email by registering with this forum then replying to this post with their email and native language, or private messaging me (uselessinfoguru), in case you're worried about privacy, so rules, announcements, and changes can be emailed, thus translated, to you.
2: All members must do 0 damage to the Rancor in the guild raid battles for the first 24 hours after the Raid launch. For instance, if the raid launches at 0100 (1am) on Friday, you will need to just tag the rancor until 0100 (1am) on Saturday. This is accomplished by clearing your squad in the squad selection screen, then scrolling down through your list of characters to the last one eligible for the fight, i.e. the weakest character you can attack with, then use only that one character and start the battle. If you have more than 1 eligible character, you will receive a warning saying your squad is incomplete, in such case, you will need to hit OK, then hit 'Battle' again to fight with just 1 character. If you are able to attack before the character gets killed, attack the outer two guards, not the center (main) guard, until your character dies. Then you will have tagged, showing 0 damage to the rancor under your playername on the main rancor raid page.
This rule is in effect so that the rancor is not killed before everyone gets a chance to reap the rewards by participating in the battle.
3: All members must use Discord. This is for the same reasons as rule 1. This is a chat app for IOS, Android, Windows, amongst other OS platforms. Our invite link to our Discord chat server is https://discord.gg/PJA4cxB. Need help? PM or email me @ uselessinfoguru@gmail.com.
4: All members need to maintain an average of 500 daily raid tickets produced. This is done by spending energy on cantina, light side, and dark side battles. You'll need to produce at least 500 average from one guild activity refresh to the next. The max is 600 daily. For the guild rules, this will be calculated by your lifetime contribution divided by the amount of days you've been in the guild.
5: Acknowledgement of these rules needs to be given. Just let us know by replying to this post or in our Discord chat that you've read, understand and will obey the rules.
As far as discipline goes, any breakage of the rules will result in the following, in order, no exceptions:
1st: Warning
2nd: Warning
3rd: Kicked (if reapply is initiated and accepted, a 3rd warning will apply with acceptance)
4th: Kicked without chance of re-admittance
Note: 3rd Warning and reapplication will be subject to review by the guild leader and the officers.
Warnings will mostly come through the Discord guild chat, however, non-English speaking persons can request to have email warnings sent instead.
With fair warning, spots can be reserved for members. i.e. "I'm going on an expedition to the Congo in hunt for silverback gorillas, so I won't be able to log on for a month." In such cases, the member will be able to simply switch to the NineSages guild until they are ready to rejoin the NineSages Heroic guild.
Reminder: All rules are subject to change (and probably will, until we get it right) regularly. Please check here and refresh your browser on this page regularly for the latest updates.
