Guild:Blue Cresent Moon

Moon_and_mountain_cape_emblem.png Blue Cresent Moon [BCM]
'''Blue Cresent Moon is a very laid back and fun guild, striving to help out its members in any way they can. If a member ever requests help, another member, officer or the leader will respond and see what they can do to, whether it be to help them farm, level, or complete a mission.'''

A personal note from Carrie Senyah about BCM:

 "I created the guild Blue Cresent Moon with only one intention in mind: It would be a guild that would be helpful to others. Some members might be new and some may have more experience, but reguardless of that, entertainment and enjoyment of the game is what I want any member in my guild to experience during their stay. There are no rules as to what one does in the game, but its nice to know that you can always turn somewhere for help. As a leader I would rather know that even if a member doesn't require help it is there, rather than someone gets stuck and there is no one there."

- Carrie Senyah, Leader.

 * Current

Organising events for the guild members by creating polls on the forum, seeing what is the most favoured event.

Scroll_of_Berserker's_Insight.png Rules
If anyone if seen or found being nasty or offensive to anyone else in BCM or the Alliance (Name calling, etc.) or Spamming Guild/Alliance Chat it will be dealt with, depending on the severity you could either be:


 * 1. Given a warning!


 * 2. Kicked out of BCM!!


 * 3. Reported which could result in getting your account BANNED!!!

If an incident of this nature occurs please let the Leader, Co-Leader or one of the Officers know and it will deal with it accordingly.

We would like to make it clear that due to several breaches of these rules in the past we are now operating a zero tolerance policy.

This is a first and only warning!!!

Any breach of these rules you WILL be kicked instantly.

Priest_of_Balthazar_icon.png Recruitment
'Blue Cresent Moon currently have the maximum amount of members! We now stand with 89 Members, 10 Officers and the Leader. However there will be times when we will need to top the guild members up, when this occurs we will usually be seen recruiting in any major town across all games. If someone has recomended you or you have a friend in the guild you are more then welcome to join! If you would like an invite, then please get in touch with the Leader or an Officer in game and they will see if there is a space for you. Their names are stated below! Or leave your name on the waiting list on our forum here.'


 * - Updated: 28/02/2010

Info.

Recruitment takes place when needed to maintain maximum amount of members, whether a member has left or been kicked. In order to keep the guild fairly active, 2 Weeks inactivity for a player results in their membership being revoked, however this does not apply if you have informed either an officer or the leader of your absence but you don't have to give a reason unless you choose too. You can let them know by leaving a message here.

If your membership has been revoked and you would like to return to BCM, then get in contact with an officer or the leader and they will see if there is a space for you. Recruitment for BCM will usually take place around the city of Ascalon (pre and post searing) Shing Jea Monastery, Kaineing Centre in either Europian or American districts.

(Ofcourse edit to what is relevent at the time of recruitment e.g. number of members, amount of faction etc.)

Skill_Trainer_icon.png Promotion
Due to bad experiences with having untrustworthy officers in the past, it is very rare that members get promoted to officers just like that. There are certain aspects and qualities that the leader and officers look for if they are considering promoting, there are a few rules too.

What the leader and officers will look for in someone who is considering promotion.


 * Prepared to put members needs beore their own. So continuously ask members if they need anything (maybe ask alliance too if no response from the guild)


 * Have completed majority or ALL of the campaigns so you are able to help with missions.


 * Contribute generously toward faction for the guild.


 * Recruit as and when needed.


 * Help out with the Alliance when possible.


 * Friendly and polite towards other members or the guild and alliance.


 * Have a good form of communication... e.g. the forum.


 * Be active. (we will demote if you have been off for a week without notification)

These are just a few of the many qualities we look for. It is a responsibility! so basically the outline is, if you prefer to do your own thing... Don't apply to be an Officer. (Ofcourse you can do your own thing when your not busy) Bob will be quite happy to demote you if your not pulling your weight!

An Officers inactivity length is shorter than that of a member, If an officer is inactive for 1 week or more (without notification), they they will be demoted and someone put in their place.

Sometimes for what ever reason, an officer will step down and be demoted to a member, in which case temporary officers will be needed, this works in the same way as applying for officer status. If the temp officer proves to be an effective officer he/she will be considered carefully to remain as an officer perminently.

 * Anyone within the guild/alliance is welcome to use our services in the Guild Hall.


 * There are opportunities to ask players for a 1 vs 1 scrimmage match in the GH, this can be just for fun or whether you need to test a new build out. Team scrimmages are also done for those who want to.


 * The Guild does AB as well if that is a preference to gaining faction, if anyone requests a team to go to do an AB then they can ask in guild/alliance chat and arrange a team in one of the GH's Some other players also do JQ and try to sycronise times so they end up on the same team. We also do HM VQ.


 * If anyone thinks that the guild can be improved in anyway, whether it is to have more events organised or others designated to help people then please either talk to Carrie or leave a post on the forum with your suggestions.


 * BCM is NOT a faction based guild. There is no requirement for it, so for those who donate it is only for fun and if the player chooses too.
