Preface

This charter is a guidelines for all members of the guild and should be understood by all members and recruits before applying for membership. Our official raid operations take place Sunday through Thursday thus giving members the weekends off to tend to family and friends. If you have any questions please contact the Guild Leader or an Officer. Weekend raids are still allowed to be put together and are expected but on a call-by-call basis.

 

Mission Statement

Vigilant Addiction is a mature gaming guild aimed at end-game open RvR content. Our guild will focus on strong relations with ally guilds in an effort to defeat and conquer our opposition. We will ensure victory by making sure all members are active and properly equipped to do their duty. We stand by our reputation of being extremely tactical and skillful in the open battlefield; always waiting to be called by our Allies to lend our assistance.

 

Organization

Leadership

The following is a list of guild titles and their roles.

*Please note that all ranks and their names are currently under revision.

• Guild Leader/Founder – Responsible for ensuring the guild is running at optimal levels at all times and getting reports from the lead officers for each section of the guild. The guild leader uses his warlords as advisors in most decisions, but ultimately has the final say.
• Legion Commander – The guild leader's right hand advisors. In the absense of the guild leader the warlords may step in if the situation requires a quick resolution. They help manage the guild to keep things running smoothly. Familiarizes all new recruits with the application process and makes sure the “weeds are picked” from the garden.
• PvE Legion Officer – Responsible for organizing and arranging PvE raids and ensuring optimal group makeup.
• PvP Legion Officer – Responsible for organizing and arranging PvP raids and making sure VA leaves their footprint in the face of all opposition.
• Veteran - The bread and butter of Vigilant Addiction. These proud members have stood fast in the face of battle and have been recognized as true members of VA.
• Conscript – A member who has been called up to serve as a Veteran member by their peers. Conscripts are in their final stage of becoming a Veteran member of VA.
• Enlisted – Anyone with an enlited status is going through the incubation period while we test to see if they fit in with VA. Enlisted status will last until a Veteran sponors an Enlistee.

Achievement System

Members can earn medals in various ways for example; attending a meeting, becoming a master crafter, or reaching an end-game level. This is a system what will always have new medals for members to look forward to collecting.

Recruitment

Vigilant Addiction follows a strict recruitment policy. We are neither elitists or overly casual in nature and we require active members and approval by a majority vote and discussion before any member is accepted into the guild. Any member that is applying for the guild will be given a testing period to get to know the guild and to see if they are a good fit for our community. All recruits should be sent to the recruitment forum so that the proper officer can get them acquainted with the guild. As an Enlistee is it your duty to meet with an Officer or Founder and get caught up to speed on guild policies and goals.

 

Guidelines

Behavior

All members are expected to behave in a mature fashion while in Vigilant Addiction. While you carry the VA tag you are a part of this guild and any actions you take are seen and recorded by the community, so it is expected that you follow all guild rules at all times. We expect you to leave your Real Life drama at the door when you login or join the communication server. Zero tolerance will be given for Drama.

 

Activity

VA prides itself on very mature and efficient game play. We are a very cooperative and tight knit guild that thrives on community building and ensuring every member is not just another number. It is expected for everyone to be active both in game and post on the forums at least once a week. If you are unable to be online for longer than a 8 day period please contact an officer and let them know of your inactive status and post on the forum. If any character is inactive for longer than 8 days, without notice, they will be removed from the guild and have to ask for a reinvite when they return. We just ask that you drop us a line and let us know, we won't bite.

 

Communication

The lines of communication within the guild are always open vertically across all members. If a situation ever arises in which two members are in conflict, an officer must be notified as soon as possible. Any guild conflict ever carried out in public chat where others can see outside the guild is grounds for suspension or immediate termination.

 

Grouping (PvE & PvP)

PvE – During raids there will always be an elected officer in charge of inviting and arranging the raid. This person will have knowledge of the battle and should be prepared for any situation that may arise to overcome it.

 

If there is no raid scheduled for the week and a member wishes to take part in another guild’s raid that is needed there is no problem with that. Please note that you carry the VA tag at all times and do as good as job as if it were an official VA raid. We pride ourselves on efficiency and knowing our classes.

 

PvP – Always listen to your raid leader and stay with the group so that no conflict arises. Should you disagree with a raid leaders decision you should wait until the raid is over before discussing his/her actions.

 

VA will have active PvP raids on specified targets weekly. While we do take advantage of all available PvE content, VA is a very PvP oriented guild and will make itself known in that regard.

 

Closure

Vigilant Addiction has the right to change the charter at any time. If you are interested in joining our ranks please post in the recruitment forum and tell us a little about yourself. We hope you find yourself at home with VA.
