- THE GUILD NAME -
V C C
Although the name of a guild is the least important aspect of one (means nothing really) however, it can be a very good and clear indication about the direction of the guild and its intended fostered community.
V C C is an abbreviation for Victoria Concordia Crescit which is a latin motto which translates to;
- 'Victory Grows Through Harmony'.

- THE GUILD (In general) -
The guilds' intentions are to be victorious and how we intend on doing just that, is through harmony (see: guild name). A sense of community, fairness and equality are paramount and these can be considered as the 'pillars' of the guild and what we will be founded on. It goes without saying but anti-social, disrespectful and disharmonious behavior will not be tolerated or endorsed.
Having said that, we will be the number one hardcore raiding guild on the server. Take this for what it means to you but generally speaking what we mean is; attendance is important, contribution to the guild is just as important, being a team player even more important and the bread and butter of such a guild - quality, how you perform and eagerness to learn, grow and adapt - individually and to the betterment of the guild. If you haven't gathered by now, V C C isn't just your ordinary guild, but a solid community too. We all have lives, careers or studies... the last thing we want is to negatively impact on these areas and as such we actively promote a healthy community in game. This begins with the individual attitudes of our members that form the atmosphere surrounding the guild. The best and proven method of creating a memorable, victorious and generally great experience, we believe, is by the aforementioned ways described above and we aim to deliver.

- MISSION STATEMENT -
To be the number one hardcore raiding guild on the server whilst at the same time, fostering a harmonious, healthy, fun and memorable community worth logging in for!
Note: As of this point, we will be accepting no casuals or pvp orientated players.

- STRUCTURE OF THE GUILD -
When it comes to the ranks and structuring of the guild, it will be deliberated and voted upon when the founding Guild Masters have been chosen and in place. There will be 3 founding GM's (including myself) with equal responsibility and control of the guild, rendering not a single person more powerful than another. As stated before, the guild comes before anything else and that includes me - It's not my guild, but 'ours', from the new recruit to the founding members each vote will stand on its own (metaphorically speaking). **IF you're interested in being a founding GM, please see the very bottom of this post with more details.
A rough draft for now as for the ranking system looks more or less like this;
1 - Founding GMs/Class Leaders (the leaders of the pack)
2 - Cores (most dedicated and valued raiders)
3 - Raiders (trials + on probation)
Guild banks will be accessible physically only by class 1 (GMs and CLs). However, the items are accessible by class 2 (Cores) through their Class Leaders or GMs ONLY. This will be to ensure fair distribution and enabling the use of a notation system to note, who has taken what and when, etc. Class 3 members (Raiders) will not have the privilege of accessing the guild banks due to obvious reasons since they would be unproven, untrusted members of the guild.
Touching on what was stated in the previous paragraph, a clear line of communication will be implemented and strictly enforced. Each class will have a leader. It simplifies everything if we follow the simple rule of a) if we have a question, request or concern > b) your one and only point of contact is the class leader for everything in regards to the guild. Class Leaders are extremely valuable in this respect since everything goes through them, like loot deliberation and appraisals of performance.
A website will be created and maintained, in due time. Ventrilo, or any other form of communication is also definitely a must and will be used.

- LOOTING SYSTEM -
The looting system will most likely be a loot council compromising of the GMs and Class Leads only, with the class leads opinion/vote outweighing the others in this respect since they will know their class and players, inside and out. Blatant corruption and unfair practices are obviously discouraged and measures will be installed to counter such actions (eg. limits on gear per run). It is important to note here that guild contributions (like guild bank drops), self-improvement (actively seeking to better your character outside of raids, attain BiS gear and attunements), past history of attendance and any future considerations do play their role in the deliberation process. As a member, you are entitled to ask for an explanation of the deliberation process and eventual result to an item you have bid for, you WILL receive such an explanation and reasoning behind the decision. We seek transparency to the greatest degree. In most circumstances where it is hard to choose between one player and another, we will turn to luck in a /roll of (given everything is equal and the two players 'deserve' it both the same).
- LOGISTICS -
- North American (U.S. GUILD)
- Raid times will be determined (consideration will be placed upon how many East Coast vs. West, non U.S. players and other factors). Most likely it will be a compromise to try suit both east vs west but again, can't speak with certainty until we get up and running and come to a consensus. Just remember our goal, be prepared for whatever that requires of us to accomplish. Be it 2 days a week or 3, or 4 (later on).
- We are initially only aiming for an elite 40 man raid to conquer the end game, anything else has to be discussed in due time.

For the time being, if interested - Please express your interest with a reply and this thread will be the main means of communication until a date for release is announced (late December seems to be the rough guideline). Be sure to refer back to this thread for any more information or details up until, and after, the launch of the server.
** Interest in being a Founding Guild Master. If you are interested in being apart of this great guild, please email me at [email protected]. Include a short bio of your past wow experience, why you think you will be a great founding GM, previous GM experience, what you think of what was said here in this post, etc. Tell me why you are the right person to help guide this guild to greatness. Please realize, as a founding GM, you will be expected to go above and beyond everyone else, contribute and maintain the V C C ethic of harmony and be a real leader and source of support for anyone and everyone in the guild. Be part of something great
Update1:
The temp site has been taken down for the time being, we are working on our proper one as we speak.
As for the expression of interest/applications, stay tuned. We have a couple ideas in regards to that until we get our site up and running. Time is on our side so be patient and check back every so often to stay up to date.
