• Early Shift - 6:30 pm server. Thursdays and Sundays.
• Late Shift - 9 pm server. Friday and Saturday nights.

Please check the calendars and the run approval posts for specific times and more details on what each run intends to clear!

Welcome new members!
Now that you are a Thug the first thing you should do is read the New Member Handbook. That will walk you through a number of next steps you should perform.

As a guild, we want to progress through content. For that to happen we need as many signups for raids as possible. To prepare yourself to attend raids with BT, please read and follow the suggestions listed in the forum thread Cataclysm Raid Guidelines.

• Our raid coordinators post raids at least 1 week in advance so sign up early and often. Often times, they post a whole month at once.
• Show up early with your consumables and great attitude.

Important notes:
1. Content that is new and being learned will require the best of each role. If content is new, we will NOT be implementing rotations.
2. When raid content is on farm, we will use rotations to allow more thugs to see the raids while providing a solid group that will be successful.

The thug/thugs that are running the raid will review the significant fight strats before beginning, but every raid member is responsible for finding a write up and video (if available) on the Raid you will be doing. You must read and watch and understand what you will need to do in the raid before accepting an invite to the raid group. For newer fights, the Leadership try to find and post links for everyone. It never hurts to read several of these to get different perspectives on a given fight. Some of our thugs have been creating videos (like tankspot), you can find a thread containing those videos here.

Please be sure to bring enough flasks, elixirs, food, potions, reagents, poisons, etc to last about 4 hours.

Raids are available for signup weeks in advance. On Tuesday, before the scheduled raids for the week, the raid coordinators begin the complex process of viable raid creation. If there are enough signups, a roster will be posted on the forums before raids begin.
If you think you can attend a raid, sign up for it. If you aren't sure you can attend or know that you might be late, sign up with a note that explains your circumstances. If you need to cancel, even at the last minute, please notify us by posting on the raid forum page as well as removing your name from the calendar. It is easier for the raid leaders to sub someone in last minute that to wonder what happened to you if you are a no show.

Copy and paste the following code into a Macro, and it will allow you to use the Raid Ground Markers in a party (previously the flares). This will not work unless you are in a group or a raid. In a group, you do not have to be the leader to use these!

Note: Sometimes Recount block actions when I try to place the markers sometimes. Haven't found any indication as to why.

1. /click CompactRaidFrameManagerDisplayFrameLeaderOptionsRaidWorldMarkerButton
2. /script DropDownList1:ClearAllPoints();
3. /script DropDownList1:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER");

If you are looking for a more traditional view of the forums, try clicking on the little "Classic" link at the top of the forums and then click on the "Show Classic Forum Overview" link. Then you will get nice little folders of threads instead of the big massive list. Just like the "old" boards.

There are a number of providers of Armory-generated signature images.

DKPSystem.com's Armory Signature Generator
http://www.dkpsigs.com/

Tachyonsix.com Armory Tools
http://armory.mmo-champion.com/

World of Warcraft Sig Generator
http://www.wowsiggen.com/

Once you have generated a sig, you will be given a link to the image file. Many sites offer you a "BBCode" version of the sig. When available, that is the one you want.

Copy the BBCode text to the clipboard and then login to the BT guild site. On the left side, you should see a link titled "Edit Account". Click that link. Scroll down to the section called "Forum Signature" and paste the BBCode that you got from the sig generator site. Click "Submit" to save your changes and you are good to go.

There is tool called WoW model viewer where you can view all sorts of crazy wow related characters. You can also create a mockup of your character and import your current armory gear or create a pic of you in your wish list gear! Not only can you create a still picture of your toon, you can choose to have your toon do one of many emotes and save the file as an animated gif. If you wish to create such an avatar, make sure that it is only 150 by 134 or it won't post correctly on the avatar forum space.
You can download the tool here: http://www.wowmodelviewer.org/
This is not an addon and so it goes in your program files folder.

Once your Request for an Item has been approved, you simply have to ask any officer or benefactor (if they have access to the tab in which your item resides) in game to move the materials to a tab that you can access. They can double check the form when you send them a whisper, but they might not always check that list before logging in each day. When in doubt, send them a tell!

Daily quests are repeatable quests first introduced in patch 2.1.

While there is no sure fire weapon against hacking (yet), there are some things you can do to keep your account safe.

• Don't share your account information with anyone. Blizzard will never ask you for your account information so don't trust any emails in or out of game asking you to follow links to somewhere to enter your account info.
• Use anti-virus and anti-spyware to warn you if your computer finds suspicious files/programs on your computer.
• Don't click on links to adds or banners if you aren't sure where they will take you. Hackers have been known to imbed keylogging software in links.
• Blizzard currently sells an inexpensive authenticator device that helps protect your log-in. Order yours or read more about it at: http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=1100000442
