Guild:Rich Mahogany

Rich Mahogany [HoM]
Rich Mahogany was formed by Recna Mor Cena on 16th October 2010. She was previously guild leader of Ridirian Guides,[RGA], a guild created by Vinny Ridira. The guild split after Vinny Ridira indicated a preference for solo play.


 * We are hero-friendly.
 * Our guild hall is fully equipped with all the traders.
 * We have professionally hosted TeamSpeak servers. We encourage all members to get headsets and used TeamSpeak actively.
 * We are a relaxed guild with no onerous requirements. We do ask you to be polite and treat other members with respect.
 * Membership covers a spectrum of ages and we have many women in the guild and alliance. Please keep your language and topics of conversation appropriate to a general audience.

Recruitment

 * We are always open to like-minded new members though we do not actively recruit.
 * We especially welcome new and inexperienced players. We have a lot of knowledge to share.
 * We do not actively exclude youngsters, but we want members who behave maturely. Our youngest member is 12.
 * We have members from around the world: Europe, US, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
 * There are no faction farming requirements, and the only reason to donate faction to the guild is to build your title faster.
 * We like to know your first name and the country you're from. We also like you to join the forum and teamspeak. We want a community of friends playing together, not a big faceless guild.
 * If you have spare low-end materials and superfluous weapons, we have a culture of sharing.
 * Members are regretfully kicked after three months of inactivity. We hate to do this, but if you've stopped playing, do you need a guild? You can always rejoin if you take up the game again.
 * Our facebook group is at

Officer Policy
The first question many new members ask is "Can I be an officer?"

Being an officer in our guild is not a title, nor a reward for joining, it's a job. Members expect officers to be there for them, to be able to answer all questions and to help at (almost) the drop of a hat. Officers put the game play needs of others before their own. Officers validate our members.

If you really want to be an officer, here's how to become one:


 * Be active. Play regularly. Play with your fellow members. Officers are demoted after two weeks of inactivity unless we have reasons for your extended absence, in which case it will be a month.
 * Complete all the campaign storylines so that you can help in any mission. You can use different characters across different campaigns.
 * Get all the outposts. If somebody wants to get to Grotto, you have to know how to get them there. You don't need Master Cartographer, just a good road map.
 * When someone asks for help in Guild or in Alliance, raise your hand and say "I can do that", assuming of course that you can. Helping members is the primary function of officers at HoM.
 * Be polite. Keep your language PG-rated at all times, no matter how much someone irritates you.
 * Look for the best in members and learn to tell them they are awesome.

If you come in with all these requirements, and you want to be an officer, we need to see you in action for a while. We have many members who are officer material who prefer to be ordinary members, for reasons of their own. Newly-promoted officers will be on probation until it is clear they can cope with the job.

Events
We have an event every Sunday at 7pm UK time, be that GMT or BST. The events are meant to be as inclusive as possible,and are thus usually normal mode. They form an ideal opportunity for people to try out elite areas and missions they may not have been to before, or where it is difficult to get teams. Beginners and heroes are welcome. This event is open to the whole alliance.

We cover every campaign in the month.


 * Prophecies will usually be Tombs of the Primeval Kings, or Sorrow's Furnace. Occasionally we may do some of the Glint quests, but these do require you to have finished Prophecies.
 * Factions will usually be Urgoz, The Deep or the Challenge missions. We have recently started doing some HM book runs. Obviously it's not possible to do an entire book in an evening.
 * Nightfall missions will usually be a treasure run or challenge missions. We have also recently started doing Domain of Anguish, which requires you to have finished Nightfall. We run Glaiveway at Sunday events, as this accommodates all professions.
 * Eye of the North is always a dungeon.

Events normally run in the order listed. If there is a 5th Sunday in the month, we do Underworld or Fissure of Woe. In the spirit of the cooperative inclusive nature of these Sunday events, we share all drops of globs of ectoplasm or obsidian shards among the whole team. What you get from the end chest is yours. The value of the ectoplasms or shards is taken from the trader buying price. If you are collecting ectoplasms or shards for armour, you can choose to take the ectoplasms or shards instead of cash. If there are fewer ectoplasms or shards than team members, if you want the actual items you may have to pay in the difference. Gemstones are no longer taken into account: if you get one, it's yours.

Outside of the Sunday events, every team member keeps their own drops when doing DoA or FoW. If you wish to initiate sharing because you are playing with friends, that is something you agree privately.
