| The Usual Suspects Guild - W o W - Cenarius Alliance Guild |
We are The Usual Suspects and The Usual Alibi, Alliance Guild on Cenarius (US). Really, no joke, that's who we are! And this is our website.
Want to know more? Read our Guild Charter!
Our Raid Times are Mondays thru Fridays 6-10pm Server Time 25 Mans & 10 Mans ^_^ |

On March 18th, the same week as our first SSC Kill (The Lurker Blows!), TUS downed Void Reaver!

In a single night we downed the first boss, Rage Winterchill! For those who are not familiar with Hyjal, the entire instance is structured much like Black Morass. Mobs stream in in waves on a set timer, and only by surviving 8 full waves of mobs can the raid encounter Winterchill. Every wave requires everyone to be on their toes the entire time, and it's an endurance/gauntlet run of sorts.

Servers are experiencing some pitfalls over the past couple of days. I am keeping a semi up to date backup of the database so if for some reason things get hairy we shouldn't lose too much if any posts. Just thought I'd let everyone know about it and hopefully things should be ironed out soon so we can go back to a stable environment.
Thanks,

VI. Guild Ranks
REGARDING ABSENCES: Our guild ranks are based largely upon raid attendance and performance. As has always been the case with TUS, we understand that real life happens and interferes with the time members have to devote to raids. Thus, if real life requires that you take a partial or complete hiatus from our raid schedule for more than 7 days, we ask that you contact an officer to let us know about how long you will be away. The rank you have earned will remain, and we will look forward to your return.
DEMOTIONS: Unexplained absences WILL RESULT in demotion. An unexplained absence of more than 14 days will result, at the option of the officers, in demotion to one rank below your current rank. Every 14 days thereafter, you will lose an additional rank. A member who is demoted to the rank of Non-Raider for an extended period of time due to unexplained absence will be removed from the guild. Furthermore, repeated late- or no-shows to raids or other chronic issues such as inexcusably poor raid performance or failing to come prepared (PVP flags, consumables, etc.) may also result in a demotion.
REGARDING LOOT: Remember that the Loot Committee considers MANY factors in choosing the recipients of raid drops, especially progression drops (i.e. bosses that are not on "Farm" status). Your rank is an important part of the loot decision, but NOT the only one. See the "Loot" and "Loot Committee" sections of the TUS Guild Charter for more information.
Noob: A non-officer alt or low level member of the TUS family.
- Lower than level 70
- If level 70, undergeared for raiding
- Does not have guild bank withdrawal privileges
- Not considered eligible for raid invites
- In some cases, a ranked guild member who repeatedly demonstrates unacceptable raid performance (including a history of no-shows) may be demoted to the Noob rank. If this is the case, expulsion from the guild is imminent unless the member shows immediate improvement
Non-Raider: Established member of TUS who rarely if ever attends our raids, whether because of real life scheduling conflicts, a hiatus from the game, or other reasons.
- Rarely raids with TUS
