[IMPORTANT!] Tabula Rasa Philosophy [IMPORTANT!]

Welcome to Tabula Rasa!

This is an information-page about what Tabula Rasa stands for and what our goals are.
This is what we expect from out members

[Tabula Rasa]
Tabula Rasa is latin and means more or less "Clean state", "A new beginning", "A blank paper".
And that is what TR is all about.
People joining together because they are tired of big raiding guilds, tired of beeing treated bad.
Tabula Rasa is about getting a chance, and to have fun.
We believe that every member has their rights to experience same things.
It's not only the 24/7-players that's suppose to see the high-end material.
People are equal.

[Joining Tabula Rasa]
When you join Tabula Rasa you automaticly becomes an Initiate and your Trial-period of 1 week begins.
During this time the officers looks over how you are as a person in for example guildchat.
How you are in instances and so on.
When 1 week has passed and we think you got what we want in Tabula Rasa, Then we promote you to Member.
You're now then a full blooded Tabula Rasa member.

[Behavior]
We are a friendly, more of a family-like guild.
But that doesnt mean we can behave how we want.
Tabula Rasa is not strict with for example smileys, fun talk and that.
But we do believe in a clean enviroment.
Curses after curses, bad language, yelling, caps-lock writing or over-use of macros are not welcome here.
So be polite.

[Beeing Active]
People who are inactive for more then 10 days without have said anything to an officer or guildmasters will automaticly be removed from the guild.
The reason is that we need people who are active.
We can't have some people taking up for example a healing-spot in the guild and then not show up for 10 days.
If you get removed from the guild and you forgot to tell an officer then just contact any of us online and we will take care of things.

[Guildbank]
The Guildbank is here for helping out with raids, For example potions for the raiders, food, water and so on.
The part members have access to is the Member-page where everyone can take whatever they like.
The guildbank is not here to provide for enchants, armors or stuff like that.
We believe that getting enchants, crafted armors and such is a goal itself for each individual player.
Who has fun when everything gets served on a silver-plate? Wink

[Signing up for Raids]
When you sign up for a raid we want a straight Yes or No. If you're not sure if you can come then wait with signing till you know if you can come or not.
If you are signed but gets involved in something that makes you not able to come is something we need to know in advance.
Please let an officer know if you can't come at least 2-3 hours before the raid starts so we can find a replacement.

[Drops in raids]
We believe in that everyone that's been in the instance and fighting has the right to roll on items that they need.
But this should be taken with caution. If an item drops that only improves you minor and someone else in the raid still has a green or blue item that makes the dropped item a big upgrade, take in moderation and share the drop to that person. Use common sense. Better to gear up a friend that gets 60 more dps then yourself maybe improving 1 dps. So, take this in mind please.

[Instancing with Others]
You are allowed to do instances with whomever you like. There is an exception thou.
The high-end instances is something you're only allowed to do with Tabula Rasa.
The reason for this is because you get locked into the instances when you kill bosses in it. So to make sure you're not getting locked up to an instance we only allow you to do the normal and the heroic instances with other people. Instances like Karazhan and so on is guild-related only.

[Problems]
If a problem occours, talk to an officer in first hand instead of take it out to guildchat or things like that.
A problem could often be solved rather easily, so if something happens just have that in mind.
