Exceptional applicants will be considered regardless of current
class need.
Current Recruitment need(s):
-Ranged DPS
We will give greater consideration to those willing and able to
perform competently in an off-spec role occasionally.
Raid Times (Eastern Time):
* Wednesdays - 8:30pm to 11:30pm
* Thursdays - 8:30pm to 11:30pm
* Sundays - 7:30pm to 11:30pm
* Invites go out 15 minutes before the raid begins.
* We DO NOT raid beyond our 10 hour a week
schedule.
Raid spots are given out on a raid-by-raid basis based on whoever
signs up for a particular night. There is no set raid team.
Progression raid spots are given out based very heavily on merit,
farm raid spots are more dispersed to give new members an
opportunity to show their ability.
Recruit Policy:
Recruits undergo a roughly 1 month "trial period" after joining the
guild, after which a decision to accept or decline the recruit is
made. Recruits have normal loot privileges during their trial
period, and begin with 5 ESP (which is sufficient to roll for most
types of items, depending on progression).
About us:
<Electric Sheep> is an established 25 man (Mythic in WoD)
raiding guild on Kargath-US that has been raiding since Classic.
Kargath is a PvE, EST, Chicago-datacenter server connected with
Norgannon as of 1/2014.
Are you a good fit for Electric Sheep?
Obviously, since we raid on a relatively short schedule, we're
looking for players who are competitive in their role, and bring
their A game on every attempt. However, that's not all we're
looking for in a candidate.
1. Love your class, and love getting better.
We're looking for players who love the class they play. If you're
the kind of person who likes to research how to squeeze more
performance out of the class you play, and takes pleasure in seeing
that work pay off in raids, then that's a great first step. In
addition to this, we're looking for players who are constantly
striving for improvement. Nobody is so good they can't get better,
and we strongly believe that continued success can only be achieved
by continuing to push ourselves to improve. This leads directly
to...
2. Enjoy our style of raiding, and our raid environment.
Our raid environment is fun, and involves a lot of chatting,
banter, and general good-timey things. With that said, when it's
time to get down to business, we don't mess around. Our very modest
raid schedule requires that we make good use of our time, and that
always is our top priority. We identify and solve problems quickly
and like to move on, which means that everyone at one point or
another is the target of direct criticism about their play (albeit
in a matter-of-fact manner, there is no yelling or insulting). This
isn't to embarrass anyone - it's simply the quickest way to
progress, and every prospective member needs to be ok with that
sort of environment. We will never be demeaning or insulting, but
you must be ok with criticism from time to time. And be willing to
work to fix any sort of problems that you may be having with your
class, or an encounter in general. We strongly believe that
learning is a part of the game, and like to help each other get
better.
3. Enjoy being part of an adult community.
We love to raid, and we have a blast doing it, but there's more to
the guild than just that. We're looking for potentially long term
players who will not just enjoy our raiding experience, but will
enjoy being part of an adhesive, close community of players who
truly enjoy logging in and playing together. The age ranges of the
players in the guild varies greatly, but on the whole it's a
positive, adult community. If you're the kind of player who has a
tendency to troll in trade or general, mock or insult players from
out of guild for any reason, or pick fights with other players,
you're simply not going to be a good fit.
Loot System:
Loot is distributed based on our own version of a zero-sum DKP
system that we call Electric Sheep Points, or ESP, that is updated
for each player week by week. Items are assigned a cost based on
their ilvl, what slot they go in (armor, jewelery, weapon, etc...),
and our progress through the tier. As time goes on, the price of
items declines, which puts a premium on getting something first,
and allows newer players and alts to get items from older content
at a discount.
When an item drops, anyone who wants it /rolls and posts their ESP
in raid chat. The person with the highest roll who has sufficient
ESP to cover the cost is awarded the item. There is no discussion
necessary, and no bidding.
You gain ESP by showing up to raids on time, staying the whole
time, and for attempts on bosses (so if we don't get any drops you
still earn points), based on the amount of points people spend for
items that week.
