The Purpose of SEVEN
To offer our members the greatest game experience possible, by uniting with
other great players and working together towards our undeniable goal: To become
the greatest guild Detheroc has ever produced - Feared by the Alliance, Revered
by the Horde.
Vision Statement
By recruiting and retaining only the best players in the game, focusing on
teamwork and an atmosphere of brotherhood, SEVEN will become the greatest guild
that Detheroc has ever produced, and will dominate this server as long as it
exists, or until such point as we collectively decide to try something new. We
are not merely building an endgame guild: We are building a community of
friends and brothers that will stand the test of time.
Core Values of SEVEN
TEAMWORK
You cannot solo endgame. Each of us is only as good as what we bring to the
team, and the more we bring, the faster we all advance.
HIGH AMBITION
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. We aspire to be nothing less than
the greatest guild Detheroc has ever produced.
INTEGRITY
Any achievement is empty if you don’t earn it, and like most things in life,
how you get there is more important than when. Members of SEVEN do not cheat,
exploit, hack, period.
HUMILLITY
When you really are the best, you don’t have to tell anyone. Our success will
be dictated by our actions.
MAXIMUM FUN
This is a game after all, this is what we do to have a good time. Drama is
never tolerated - neither is fun that comes at a cost to someone else.
REAL LIFE FIRST
This is a game. If you are a winner at Warcraft but a loser at life, guess what
- you’re still a loser. Our members win both-ways.
BROTHERHOOD
Seven isn’t a relationship of convenience - it is a family. We look out for
each-other, help each-other, and develop true friendships. A group of
individuals is quickly torn apart by selfish desires. A brotherhood stands the
test of time

Appendix A
Endgame Raid Participation Points ( RPP )
1. Purpose
1. Loot Systems are necessary for the long-term health of the guild in that
they provide a fair mechanism for distributing scarce resources among a
multitude of people who want them. This prevents arguments, hurt feelings, or
misguided expectations.
1. A good loot system is fair, easy to administer and understand. It should
reward people who have put their time in, and should provide new recruits an
opportunity to grow as well.
2. To this end, S E V E N has selected the “shroud” loot system for its
fairness and simplicity.
1. Points are earned based on time spent in the raid.
2. 1 Point is earned by being in the instance at the raid start time
3. 1 Point is earned for every half hour spent in the raid.
4. So for a given 3-hour raid, a player who is there for the entire raid
will earn 7 points.
5. For bosses that have
not been previously downed, ½ a point shall be awarded for every wipe and 5
bonus points will be awarded for the first downing. Any fractionally earned RPP
is rounded up.
6. Partial RPP is available for players who are waitlisted and don’t end up
getting into the raid. The partial amount is 3 RPP. To qualify for waitlist
RPP, a player has to have both signed up as well as been online ready to
fill-in when the raid started.
7. RPP penalties will be levied against players who sign up for the raid,
but do not show up. The penalty shall be equal to the amount of points
available for that raid. This is in addition to the automatic rank demotion
mentioned above.
8. Players who show up late will have a -3 RPP penalty.
9. Players who are not certain that they can show up, or show up on time,
are encouraged to queue for the raid on standby and put a note in the comment
section that they might be late, giving a expected time etc. This note may
affect whether you are selected for the raid, but if you still make it, there
will be no negative RPP penalty.
10. Players in the queue will still be considered for addition to the raid
before unlisted players if the raid is not full.
11. If a player has multiple raiding alts, RPP will be attributed to the
character taken to the raid. If the player is asked to take a certain character
they will then have the choice of what character the RPP is assigned to.
12. Any non-registered players who join the raid will earn RPP at ½ the
normal rate, only receive RPP for time served in the raid, and will not be able
to bid on contested loot.
1. Points can be spent in two ways
2. A player can bid “seven” – Which is exactly as it sounds... Seven points
3. A player can also bid “half” – which means half of that player’s
accumulated raid points
4. No player will ever be required to bid on an item they don’t want.
5. For Class set items, RPP points will be taken from the Class RPP column,
this goes for items that say Class:"X"
6. In order to place a "half" bid, that player must have at least
21 points.
7. If a winning half-bidder has more than 200 Points, the effective cap for
the points that they will be charged is 100 points.
8. If a "half" bid is a fractional number, the bid will be
rounded down.
9. If there is a tie in bids, such as all 7 bids, the item will be awarded
by random roll.
10. In all raids, if a player has already won a class item in a contested
bid, we request the courtesy of passing on subsequent contested class items.
1. The appropriateness of a given item for a specific class is determined
by the lists given by the objective assessment given by the Kaliban loot
appropriateness mod. Appropriateness is
also based on the player’s current spec, not future or planned spec.
2. Raid leaders will consider Half bids from the most appropriate classes (
5 star ) first, and if no players of those classes bids at least half, they
will consider 7 bids from any class as equal, or allow secondary classes to bid
half. If no player wants the item, it will be disenchanted.
This system is designed to be very simple, and it is. The mechanism where
the bid is HALF of a player’s accumulated RPP prevents the system from breaking
down in ways that other methods tend to:
1. It prevents “collusion attack” where a certain class agrees to bid less for
their class items, so they have more RPP remaining in relation to other
classes.
2. It prevents over-inflation of item values
3. It automatically balances the relationship between rewarding those who have
been there consistently, and those who are just starting. The new players will
have to work hard to catch up, but it is not impossible, and frequently dropped
items that veteran players pass on, will be available at a common low price.
Appendix B
Raid Requirements
Raid requirements are an essential part of our social contract. In a raid, we
all need the assurance that every member is showing up prepared and doing their
part to contribute to the success of the raid.
Showing up unprepared to a raid without any of the following capabilities /
Items subjects a player to consequences ranging from being asked to leave to
correct the issue, to being replaced by a prepared player.
Those requirements are:
1. Ventrtillo
a. We require the ability to both send and receive voice communications via
ventrillo.
c. The Current connection information will be maintained as a pinned topic
in guild business and in the guild info tab in-game
