1. About this guild

1.1 Objectives

We, Banzai Guardian, are aiming to a goal that we can share laugh and enjoy ourselves. We also like to think that our top priority is your "REAL LIFE". This is because we like people who can control themselves and are reliable. This guild is not for hardcore game players, but casual players that are committed to the guild and have understandings on play-stance of others as well. A minimum requirement is that you should know what your class is and know how to play it well. If you are kind of person who is lay back type of person with flexibility and is easy on anything, this guild may suit you well. Your real life comes first and WoW next!

1.2. Active Playing Time

Our core play time is from 22:00 JST to 2:00 JST during weekly day. Any guild events, such as raiding, are held during that time or weekend night. You may find our members to catch up mostly anytime during weekend.
As for raiding, we schedule its time. You are allowed to attend or leave raid party with early notice, preferably before starting raid, if you have any other plans to do.

1.3 Things We Do

1.3.1. Raid
This guild is focusing on 10 man raiding as guild run, however 25 man as pugging. Any 10 man raids that are scheduled as guild run will be arranged by raid managers. Non scheduled 10 man raid or 25 man raid can be arranged by anyone and these raids do not have to follow our guild rules even though there are members from our guild.
There are 2 kinds of guild run, which is regular raid and irregular raid. Both should be chosen as most favored raids(1) to go and these will be decided based on guild survey. The guild survey is made every Monday and it is compulsory, for those who have character higher than level 70, to answer the survey. The purpose of this survey is to know "who is available and when". Irregular raid can be held anytime on the condition that there are more than 8 people available for the raid. On the other hand, regular raid will be scheduled on particular day and time. However, any scheduled raids will become available for pugging after every Sunday 18:00 JST.
1: Since patch 3.3 is released, we set guild run raids as followed. They will be re-voted after a while...
Regular raid: Icecrown Citadel 10man
Irregular raid: ToC 10man / Any raid that has weekly raid quest
1.3.2. Contents for Lower Levels
There is no restriction on low level 5man or any raids lower than level 70. 5man instances can be happened by those who are motivated to do. Any raids lower than level 70 can be held basically once a month after voting for destination on guild survey. These contents are for achievement or leveling so that hardcore conquest will not be expected. Guild master decides if its ID lock may remain or reset.
1.3.3. PvP Contents
It is clearly situational to invest yourself in PvP contents. Some may enjoy the battle ground or other may not. There was an example that some formed a raid and join in battle ground. However, there will be no official announcement for the contents.

2. Rule for Guild Raiding

2.1. Set up

2.1.1. WEB survey
There will be no longer WEB survey.
2.1.2. In-game Calendar
Those who answered guild survey will get an invitation for scheduled raid here. This should be replied by 1 hour before raid starts. And then answering this event will put you higher priority on getting invited for scheduled raid.
2.1.3. Gear Score
We set scheduled raid a standard gear score. This score is a guideline to decide who to join a raid only on the condition that there are more than 10 members expecting to join the raid. Rolling should be essential if competing with similar gear score.
2.1.4. Class Balance
When raid managers find fatal problem such as class balance in group, according to tactics on bosses, guild master is allowed to decide who to remain and who to switch after discussion with people involved.

2.2. A Late Comer

There is no penalty only if left early notice in anyways, such as submitting comments on guild BBS, leaving message to members and so on. Participation during raid progress will be discussed between officers and you based on 2.1.1 / 2.1.2 / 2.1.3 / 2.1.4. If no survey answered or no event replied, there is no exception for you get invite unless the raid group has any spots left.

2.3. Cancellation

There is no penalty only if left early notice in anyways, such as submitting comments on guild BBS, leaving message to members and so on. If cancellation without notice happens more than twice continuously, any invitation for next scheduled raid will not be given and there is no exception for this matter.

2.4. Rolling for Last Spot for Raid Group

Rolling is essential if people involved are at the same stage based on 2.1.1 / 2.1.2 / 2.1.3 / 2.1.4. The one who lost the roll will be given a guaranteed invitation for next raid. This guaranteed invitation is applied to the same raid you rolled, however is not applied for those who meet conditions of 2.1.1 / 2.1.2.

6. Trivia

6.1. Why not guardians?

This guild was formally for bank use so that I, guild master, expected no one joining this guild. Therefore, I named it "guardian" instead. And later on, good thing happened, which I accidentally found a few Japanese WoW players through mixi, Japanese sns site. Since this event, I thought about re-naming but Blizzard doesn't allow me to do so!!

6.2. What does banzai mean?

Banzai can be used when you are happy or you want to celebrate something, such as long life, accomplishment of hard tasks. Banzai is similar to "Hurray" as you raise your both hands and shout loud!! BANZAI!! I hope that all the member in this guild will feel accomplished when we get down raid bosses and say you-know-what!
