Guild Charter

~ Bog Troopers ~

Who Are the Bog Troopers?
The Bog Troopers is a group of MMORPG enthusiasts comprised of many circles of friends. Many of us have met in other worlds before traveling to Azeroth: Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxy, Everquest, Ultima Online, and the list goes on. Above all else, we value friendship and positive attitudes. We do not believe in confining rules or hierarchical command structures. Thus, our charter should be viewed more as a collection of ideals to strive for, and not a "Do not do" list.

Guiding Principles:

~ Above all else it is every guild member’s responsibility to promote a positive guild and gaming experience for all members.

Animosity or unfriendliness is counterproductive to any guild. We believe communication and respect are the essential components for the success and longevity of a guild. Use of the forums and private tells are encouraged, should members need to resolve a difference. Every guild member has a responsibility to mediate and move members 'forward' in the event of a misunderstanding. A circle of friends is only as strong as its weakest links. Nobody is paying $14 dollars a month to argue, feel bad, or be treated disrespectfully.

~ Sharing and Supporting Guild Members ~
Any veteran of online gaming knows strength comes from community support. Supporting lower level guild members and crafters is strongly encouraged. Asking or expecting money in exchange for items is strongly discouraged. Just as a family shares its resources to support everyone's needs, so should a guild. In simple terms, you gain much more out of every aspect of the game by helping and raising your guildmates’ abilities. Whether it’s DPS, Armor, Spells, Crafted items, Enchantments or Potions, these benefit the entire guild as they enhance PvE and PvP groups for all.

This type of support is encouraged, but not mandatory. We do not always know what another player is saving for or working towards. If you have a need, simply ask, and those who are in a position to help will.

~ Forced Removal from Guild ~
This is a rare occurence, as it should be, as it indicates a failure on many levels of the very ideals based in this charter. Prior to reaching this level of consideration, every attempt to mediate and support all members should be explored. Should a player’s action become so negative that this subject is even mentioned among the guildmembers, a council approach will be used to make the decision.

~ New Memberships ~
While we are clannish by nature; we are not xenophobic. If you wish to join our guild, you will most likely gain favor in the following methods:

(1) Let us know! Post in the forums public section; let us know a little about you. A quick real life bio with age, geographical location, prime play time, and marital / family status is a great way to break the ice. Many of us are married with kids and misery loves company. Please be aware, however, that as of right now these forums are NOT secure. I'm working on a way to resolve that, but the "getting to know you" section will remain public so that non members may post.

(2) Group with us in PvP or instance runs, or roleplay with us. It’s a very good way for us to get to know you, and for you to see how we interact with each other.

At our core, we're a group of people who game for the sheer fun of it. Each of us values the people in our online family much more than the contents of our banks or the color of our shinies.
