The following rules are meant to help with the enjoyment of all.  Please read them, and respect them.  If any of them are issues for you, contact your guild officer, or Blackbraid directly.

===Roleplaying===
 
 
 
The guild has some roleplayers and strives to be RP-friendly as the server we play on is a Roleplaying server.  All names of characters are expected to be within reasonable bounds for that race, per the rules of the server.  Roleplaying is strictly optional.
 
 
 
 
 
/guild chat is generally expected to be IC and the /rpgnet channel is used as a defacto guild channel as it includes rpg.net folks that are in another KT guild for one reason or another.
 
 
 
===Looting Rules===
 
 
 
All Bind on Pickup (BoP) items are to be passed on, and discussed afterward.  Any roll on a Bind on Pickup item, or any taking of one without discussion and agreement from all party members, is considered EXTREMELY rude etiquette in World of Warcraft, almost to a punishable level.
 
 
 
All Bind on Equip (BoE) items can be rolled on as normal.  Only roll Need if you are going to wear that item immediately.  Roll Greed if you want it for some other purpose, including selling, disenchanting, sending to alts, saving for later use, or sending to the guild bank.  Hit Pass if you don't want to bother with the item at all.  If, after the roll is done, someone determines they can use it right away, the item should be given to the person; not doing so is considered quite rude.
 
 
 
If there are any disputes, the highest-ranking officer present, or the Group Leader if no/multiple officers are present, will make all decisions.  If there is a grievance in looting etiquette, it should be brought to an Officer, or an officer of a higher rank, if an Officer is the infracting party.
 
 
 
Further discussion and explanation of these rules can be found in the [[World of Warcraft:Tips]] article.
 
 
 
===RPGnet channel etiquette===
 
 
 
The RPGnet channel is meant as a way for people to communicate with each other to enhance the fun the game has to offer. Officers of the guild are charged with keeping the channel fulfilling that purpose.  There aren't any "banned" topics, per se, but if an issue becomes heated or causes discomfort, whether about in-game events or real-world concerns, officers may ask people to refrain from discussing that issue.  Such things are best moved to a forum topic, where other people playing the game can avoid seeing the argument/discomfort if they so choose, or moved to private tells or a separate channel.  You can't avoid clicking on a topic to to avoid reading it in /RPGnet.
 
 
 
There will be, and can be, no enforcement of this policy, since Blizzard doesn't allow registration of private chat channels (there's always a moderator, but no way to secure that officers are the moderators).  Therefore, this should be considered a guideline instead of a rule.  The only alternative if it is not adhered to is to ask people to stop using the RPGnet channel and only use guild chat, which can be more tightly moderated; this is a less than ideal situation, however as there are people in the RPGnet channel who are from different guilds or choose to remain unguilded.
 
 
 
===Raiding===
 
 
 
Blacksky Company is currently allied with Guardians of Legacy.  Raiding has its own rules and requirements, many of which can be found on the [[Blacksky Raiding]] wiki page.  Currently, the only required addons are [http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/ora2.aspx oRA2] and [http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/big-wigs.aspx BigWigs] (both available at [http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/default.aspx Curse Gaming's website]) or equivalent addons that use the same protocols to communicate (such as CT_RA and DeadlyBossMods).  Other addons are often recommended, but those two are the only required.
 
 
 
We also ask that every raider has [http://www.ventrilo.com Ventrilo] installed and able to receive transmissions.  Broadcasting (via microphone) is not required.  Just being able to listen to fight explanations and receive instructions vocally instead of waiting for them to be typed out is a big help!
 
 
 
WowWebStats is a tool that parses combat logs into an easily readable and searchable database of information for each raid fights.  [http://wowwebstats.com/smazdlw1sbbfc The guild's WWS page can be found here.]  If anyone wishes to upload their own reports, feel free to contact IceShadow to get the 'officer' account name and password, which will allow people to upload and view reports.  The WWS account is currently administrated by IceShadow and paid for by davidb.

Officers

Blacksky Company has several officers. Officers will have invitational powers, as well as access to change the officers' notes and players' notes (to add new RPGnet handles if they invite). Officers will also be asked to help keep the chat in RPGnet civil. To quickly contact an officer, send an e-mail to blackskyofficers at iceshadow dot com.

Of the officers, two are selected as Senior Officers. They have nearly the same control over the guild as the Captain, including demotion, promotion, and removal from the guild.

All officers' alts will be promoted to Squad Leaders, which will be, in effect, identical to the Officer rank. The only distinction is for roleplay, and to keep track of which character is the officer's main character.

At present time, all officers are selected by the Captain with help from the other officers.

The current officers are as follows (out of date):

Player Name Character Name Rank
IceShadow Blackbraid Captain
brooksd01 Dorahan Senior Officer
Random Nerd Markom Senior Officer
MrHorrible Theomund Officer
Psicorp Audamin Officer

Roster

The guild roster page can be found on WoW Armory here: http://www.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=Kirin+Tor&n=Blacksky+Company&p=1

Tab 2: Items and gear for levels 41-70

Tab 3: Recipes and reputation turn-ins

Tab 4: Mass quantity materials, such as ore and cloth.

Tab 5: Rarer materials
