Raiding Alliance

[Lissa]

After an extremely frustrating weekend in a Naxx 25 PuG, I want some accountability from raiders while getting my Emblems of Valor. The problem is that my guild is too small, and can only muster sufficient players for 10 man runs.

Long story short, I'm on good terms with two guild leaders who have a similar number of raiders, and I'd like to propose a raiding alliance. I remember reading that some members of the Lounge were part of one, Avarice Alliance. I was wondering how that works, logistically. Is there a communal message board? What mods are used to coordinate across guilds? How do you decide who gets to come to raids?

I've thought up some guidelines already, and was wondering if they were any good:

-The Heroic runs are not learning runs. If you have not been in every encounter in 10-man, please do so with your guild before signing up.
-The Heroic runs are not free-passes for gear. If you're not pulling your weight due to insufficient gear, please run some Heroics and Normal raids before signing up.

I haven't thought about whether we should use a loot system, or just fair roll, main before off. Ep/Gp sounds pretty good, though.

Any input is welcome, please share your thoughts!

There are boards that Avarice uses at Avaricealliance.net. I'm not sure how much you'll get out of the boards that guests have access too as there are member boards as well that have a variety of things going on between scheduling runs, strategies, general BS, item needs of people, class discussions, profession discussions, and the like.

There is a lot of things that go on in a raiding alliance and it takes a lot of work to hold together, more so than what you would see in a raiding guild itself. There's also a ton of dynamics that go on behind the seens that most people would be privy too as well.
