AIE NEWS

AIE General

You probably know that AIE was founded by people who have a great love of podcasts, but you may not realize just how many podcasts our AIE members listen to. If you’re looking to find more podcasts, or if you want to share your favorite podcasts with the rest of AIE, check out AIE community member Lane’s “Other Podcasts You Listen To” post in the forums. It is full of great ways to make your ears happy.

Just a reminder for some of our newer members who may not be used to how AIE handles chat. Our guild chat is not like most guilds. We aim to keep chat family-friendly, and not let it become an annoyance that distracts from the game, and with up to several hundred people in chat at the same time, that means we have to limit how it is used.

To quote the AIE policy on guild communications...

Any formatting of messages to draw attention over other messages in chat is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:

all capitals for words other than acronyms,

character substitution (i.e., "1337sp34|<"), (“leetspeak”)

repetition of messages.

Members may not use macros or add-ons to generate messages in chat channels. Macros may only be employed by officers for administrative purposes.

Members engaging in topics or styles of discussion that are disruptive, immature, or better suited for alternate venues will be asked to take their discussions to private channels. Officers will not debate this in chat or whisper.

These rules cover all open chat channels, whether it’s guild chat or any of the common rooms in Mumble. Private chat channels, like ones you might create in game or any of the channels marked Do Not Disturb (DND) in Mumble, do allow some amount of adult conversation - as long as every member of the channel agrees, so make sure you know your audience, and don’t drop into a DND channel uninvited. This topic pops up in the forums every few months, and the best way to respond is to send people to the guild policy, which is in the guild wiki. If you have any questions or feedback about our chat policy, please email the officers at [email protected]

AIE Wow

Looking to Raid in Warlords, the team recruitment section of the forums has been busy! Many new and returning raid groups are looking for members. Take a look, sign up and get ready to show the Iron Horde who is the boss.

Thanksgiving has passed, but there is no better time to thank a guildie!! There is great thread on the forums started by the Mistress of RP Irontamed a while back, thanking members of AIE for doing what we do best- being super helpful and wonderful. Want to do more- we are always taking nominations for Guildie of the Month- please email [email protected] if you want to nominate that special member of AIE that has gone above and beyond!

Just a reminder, the darkmoon faire is up and running! Rep and XP boosts abound as well as a chance at free points for your professions. Take advantage from now until the 14th!

Also, don’t forget that world of warcraft’s 10th birthday event is still going on from now until January 5th. Level 100’s get the dubious privilege of running molten core for not only an epic helm and corehound mount, but also a chance at the great mini hatespark pet and a cosmetic enchant. The last two are, sadly not a guaranteed drop. yay...

AIE EVE Online

Last week we reminded everyone about the importance of using FleetUp.com to stay abreast of all the missions, ship fittings, and more. This week, Lanctharus has posted a Help Wanted sign, looking for a volunteer to post and maintain the AIE and BRAVE Coalition fleet doctrines up on the AIE FleetUp site.
