Frequently Asked Questions
Who are you?
We are a group of mainly adults who enjoy playing World of Warcraft for its RP, PVP and PVE, as well as, most importantly, the friendships we forge through our exploration of the game. We're friends, IC and OOC, bound together with common purpose - we want to have fun with each other in this game.
We try to have as little politics and drama as possible and try to nourish an open and honest environment based on respect and friendship. There is an open door policy with all officers and senior members, and we try our best to deal with any problems headlong. If you don't let us know there's a problem, we can't solve it, so it will only fester and form into something huge and ugly that will end up hurting people.
How long have you been around?
Josh and I have been leading the guild since November 3, 2006, beginning on Blackwater Raiders (US) and moving to Moon Guard in May, 2008. Our officers are long term, dedicated members who have been with us for an average of a year.
Is your guild chat in character or out of character?
Guild chat is in character with a separate out of character channel. In character we communicate by use of a talisman enchanted with voodoo magic that you will receive after your interview.
What is your policy regarding alts?
Alts of members who are Tribesmates and up are welcome in the Tribe without an interview or application. Alts of initiates will not be allowed entrance unless they are level 70 or higher. If the character you would like to join BTT with is an alt (that is, you have a main you don't intend putting in the Tribe) we will judge on an individual basis. Keep in mind that the Tribe is active and if you don't play somewhat frequently on that character you may feel out of the loop or uninvolved in current plots and relationships.
What is the Tribe leadership like?
Josh and I are there for a dual purpose. In character, it is to lead; out of character, it is to coordinate and problem solve. We have several officers there to help us make decisions regarding the Tribe, potential problems, and ideas for new events as well helping us to keep a casual, laid back attitude. Behind the scenes, we're always talking of new ways to make the Tribe more enjoyable for our members.
What is it like being in the BTT?
Well, frankly… it's fun. We're a laid back, casual group who love the game and love speaking with each other and joking around, out of character. In character, we're a supportive group that, though we sometimes disagree or don't always get along, we talk things out and push past. Both in character and out of character, what it boils down to is friendship. The best way to get a proper feeling for us is to get involved with us; chat with us often, post on the forums, ask if anyone is interested in joining you for RP, for a raid, for an instance, for a group, for anything! We may not always be available, but initiative to get to know us is never a bad thing!
Are there many disagreements and arguments in character?
Sometimes, though most are often solved quickly by either letting your character take a breather and come back a little less hot headed, or by discussing, out of character, with the other people you're RPing with how best to resolve the problem that would make everyone's character happy.
Though not all RP has to be happy, and not all members need to like each other in character, we strive to make sure that something in character won't have the potential of going too far and having a friend leave because of it.
If you feel, at any time, uncomfortable with something going on in a role playing scenario, please contact the person you're RPing with and let them know. If nothing can be resolved privately, come to Jumwa, myself or any officer and we'll do our best to resolve it.
What are you looking for in new members?
We're looking for laid back, humorous people who will be around often and will be willing to commit themselves to making the Tribe better. We'd love someone who loves the game, loves RP, and loves experiencing the game from an RP perspective.
How do I go about getting promotions?
Promotions will be given based on general encouragement of the growth of RP as well as the Tribe and the individuals in the Tribe. The best way to start your path to a promotion is to post you character's biography on the forum, as this is the only tangible requirement for promotion. Other things that you should do to get promoted is things such as contributing trade skill materials to the bank or to guild members, hosting your own RP/PVE/PVP events, promoting RP within the game by staying in character throughout the world, and just being a kind and supportive member. We usually wait one month to several months before promoting members from initiate in order to determine if they fit in.
