The Panda Lull

The Membership Drive is now over. Feel free to invite any nice, friendly people you meet, but I probably won't actively recruit again until Mists of Pandaria since we seem to be in a bit of an overall game lull.

If there's anything I can do that would make the guild more rewarding for you (aside from magically adding more members), please let me know via in-game mail. Currently, I am treating our guild as a pleasant place for folks to just chill and do whatever they want in peace and quiet until the next expansion gets everyone all hyped up again.

Don't forget to make use of the guild repairs and take anything you want from the bank!

Membership Drive

For those of you who didn't see the Guild Message of the Day about our guild membership drive, I'm offering 200g for each new member recruited that stays at least two weeks and has some "Guild Activity" during those weeks. ("Guild Activity" can be seen on the Guild Roster as one of the sort methods.)

If you invite someone, please add your name and when they joined to their Guild Note, in order to get credit.

And, if you folks really don't care if we get new members or not, just reply to this post or mail me in game. I'm open to any sort of guild that the rest of you want, so if folks want a chillin' quiet place, that'd be fine with me, too!

Faraday, Your New Guild Master!

Hi folks! Wightwolf made me your new Guild Master, so I thought I'd let everyone know what's happening with our guild.


Guild Background
The Deception guild was started on October 24, 2008 and I was invited to join by co-GM Priincessa in early 2011. In late 2011 and early 2012, a many long-time guild members (including the GM) started leaving the guild for a variety of reasons. During this time, the Guild Master position changed hands quite a few times.


(If you are looking here to find out where your old guild buddies have gone, some went to Horde Defenders and some went to Light of Dawn, so check in with both of those guilds if you'd like to try to re-connect.)


Eventually Smackable became GM and then tranferred the guild itself to the Moonrunner realm where a few guildies had other characters. The transferred guild is now called Demented Convictions and Smackable said anyone who wants to transfer to Moonrunner is welcome to join the transferred guild. 


Here is the Demented Convictions Armory page.


Our Current Guild on Velen
When a guild is transferred to another server, the original guild stays intact on the old realm but loses all its levels, perks, guild bank tabs, and gold. Sadly, we have to start over from scratch.


The good news is that members who stay keep their guild reputation and we get to keep the guild name, Deception. (I would be willing to pay to change the guild name, if folks would like the guild to be called something new.) We also have two bank slots currently and I will buy more if we fill up what we have.


The New Guild Ranking System


GM: Guild Master.


Officer: Folks who express interest in helping run the guild, plus GM alts.


Veteran: Active max-level characters, in good standing.


Member: Active characters under max-level, in good standing.


Recruit: New members. 


Vacation: Over one month of inactivity.


Probation: Troublemaker rank.


Plans for the Future
Since our guild is currently so small, I am turning it into a social and leveling guild, rather than the raiding guild we were previously. We can transform depending on what members end up wanting to do.


I will be creating a new Guild Finder ad, so if there is a certain type of person you would like to see in the guild, send me a note in-game.


And, that's it. Have fun everyone and remember that my giant Troll ears are available if you have questions!
