Geeks of Doom World of Warcraft Guild Shield That’s right! Geeks of Doom has our very own World of Warcraft guild.

We are a HORDE guild on the Blizzard U.S. Server named DALVENGYR. We are currently one of very few Level 20 Guilds on this server. We have seven guild bank tabs and are over six hundred members strong.

Dave3 started the Geeks of Doom guild in September of 2008 with the help of staff contributors TechGOnzo and Tarsonus. We did this because we LOVE World of Warcraft and wanted to create a place where both the contributors and readers of Geeks of Doom who also love World of Warcraft (there’s millions of us doing it) can join together and have fun leveling, instancing, raiding and having a grand old time.

HORDE FTW! Geeks of Doom World of Warcraft Guild Rules

For those who need their rules in bite-sized portions:

RULE #1: Hatespeech, intentional trolling, spamming, inciting or general assery in guild chat will get you kicked from the guild very fast. We have zero tolerance for such things.

RULE #2: Do not ask about the Guild Bank or Promotions in Guild Chat. Both come in time. The official guild response to any such question regarding ‘Rank & Bank’ is /moo. Go forth and /moo when necessary, GoDs.

RULE #3: Help your guild mates when possible. This is a founding principal of GoD. Seriously, help someone else when you can.

RULE #4: Have fun! …or else. =P

REMEMBER THIS: Our name is the one displayed above your head. When you do good OR bad you represent ALL GoDs. Don’t act a fool in our name and make us have to shun you. /unshun

We encourage you to join our guild gab channel using the command /join Doom. This is the channel we use for all the b.s. that you know just doesn’t belong in Official Guild Chat.

Regulations and Expected Behavior for a Member of Geeks of Doom:

Do Not Be Whiney or Needy: If you need help that’s great. We are here to help each other. This is one of the founding principals of our guild. But, if all you ever do is NEED and WHINE, you won’t last long before an Officer notices that all you really are is a drain on guild resources and puts you up for review (i.e. raises a vote to kick you to the curb).

Be Helpful Whenever You Are Able: Again, we are here to help each other, but we’re also here to help the Horde out as a whole. So, help other players whenever you’re able to. If you’ve proven to be helpful, you’ll have no problem gaining guild rank.

Common Courtesy: Everyone deserves it. Sure, it’s just a game. Sure, you can basically be an anonymous douche, derp or bully if you so chose. But that’s what makes courtesy toward your fellow player even more important and meaningful. Consider that.

Get A Job, Ya Hippy: What’s your profession? Wait, you don’t have one. Um, go get one ya hippy. Seriously though. As a part of our guild your profession is one of the most important ways you can contribute to our strength. Everyone in the game can fish, cook and apply bandages (some better than others), but not everyone can skin a tiger, enchant some shoes or forge a sword. So, if you don’t have any professions, get ’em, tell us what they are, and work at them. Jobless Hippies certainly don’t stand much chance of advancing in rank.

Battle Alliance Fairly… and by ‘Fairly’ we me kill the fcuk outta ’em…: Yeah, yeah. We all know *they* won’t play fair, but our behavior is not going to be defined by our enemies. Our guild is on a PVP server, so If they’re within your honor range they’re considered fair game. Farming in *your* area, kill ’em. Being a douchy Ally to lowbies, Kill ‘Em. Taunting you or your fellow horde, KILL ‘EM. But do try not kill and/or camp players 10 levels below you without a good reason to do so. Also, try not to actively go after opposing players who are clearly attempting to avoid a fight, like say, while they are turning in quests or they’re afk (unless they’re a DK. Kill all DKs on sight. Fcuk ’em). In other words…

Don’t Be a Jackass: You’re a representative of our guild. Everything you do on our realm is a reflection of us and our values, so don’t be a douche-bag. If you need this more clearly defined your Main is probably an Alliance gnome-jerkoff on Fizzcrank.

Promotions: Guild promotions are decided upon by two or more officers of the guild. Rank has nothing to do with level. It has to do with character and actions. Speak with a guild officer in private if you believe you deserve a promotion.

Geeks of Doom World of Warcraft Guild Ranks

Initiate: The first three guild ranks are considered trial ranks. Initiate is the rank that all new guild members begin with. If you prove not to be a total needy, whiny retard, you should be promoted above this rank fairly quickly (one to two weeks for most). This rank exists because we don’t trust you. Nothing personal. But yeah, we DO NOT trust you.

Squire: After your short trial-period as an Initiate in which you’ve (hopefully) shown that you have the ability to be a team player, you will be promoted to Doom Squire. This is the second trial rank. You’re getting along with other guild members. Helping out when you can. We’ve even gone so far as to allow you access to another bank tab, but you’re not out of the woods yet. You’ve still got a substantial amount of proving to do, and we’re keeping our eye on you.

Guild Bank: Tab 1 Allotment: 2 stacks per day
Guild Bank: Tab 2 Allotment: 1 stack per day

Journeyman: This is the last of the trial ranks. As a Journeyman you’ve earned a bit more trust but are still under the watchful eye of the guild officers. This is where the real work begins for you. As always, It is up to you to prove to the guild that you’re worthy of being raised from the depths of this last trial rank and elevated to “Doom” member status.

Guild Bank: Tab 1 Allotment: 2 stacks per day
Guild Bank: Tab 2 Allotment: 2 stacks per day
Guild Bank: Tab 3 Allotment: 1 stack per day

Doom Defender: If you’ve made it this far, Congratulations! You’re no longer a trial member of the guild. Glory and honor will soon be yours! Defender is the first vetted rank. You are now considered an official member of the guild. As a Defender you’ve earned the ability to create and coordinate calendared guild events such as scheduling instances, raids, and lowbie runs. But be wary as always, for you’ll still be under constant scrutiny from the guild officers.

Guild Bank: Tab 1 Allotment: 2 stacks per day
Guild Bank: Tab 2 Allotment: 2 stacks per day

Doom Arbiter: The Arbiter rank is reserved for members of Geeks of Doom’s official guild Raid Team. Doom Arbiters have the full support of the guild, both monetarily and through items. On raid nights buff foods and flasks are provided for the raiders, and gear repairs are enabled for this rank. Arbiters are constantly asked to prove themselves through achievements and raid progression. They are expected to be dedicated to upholding the rules of the guild and maintaining an active presence in guild affairs.

Doom Knight: This is officer rank. Knights have proven that their dedication to the guild is beyond reproach. They have the ability to actively solicit recruits, invite new members to the guild and remove members from the guild roster after official review. Knights also have access to Officer Chat as well as Vent administration rights. They are also able to coordinate calendared guild events such as Guild Achievement Nights and inter-guild events. A promotion to Doom Knight takes a unanimous vote of all current Doom Knights and the Doom Lord.

CURRENT KNIGHTS: Destructoid, Ghettodeath, Jeddek, RhÃ¸x, RÃ®kimaru

Doom Captain: This is the most trusted rank in the guild, hence it is reserved for only the most trusted members of the guild. This consists of founding members of the guild and those who have proven themselves by going above and beyond in the name of the guild. A promotion to Doom Captain takes a unanimous vote of all current Doom Captains and the Doom Lord.
