Months Behind
was created on US-Eredar on January 6, 2006. Yup. We were a raiding guild from the start, and we're going to continue to be a raiding guild well into the future.

Some of our recent raiding accomplishments include
-6/6 25 Heroic Mogu'shan Vaults
-6/6 25 Heroic Heart of Fear
-2/4 25 Heroic Terrace of Endless Spring
-13/13 25 Heroic Throne of Thunder
-Heroic Lei Shen US-109
-Ra-den 25 US-96

We are currently progressing in 25 Heroic Siege of Orgrimmar pushing top US-100 kills.

In addition to our Heroic progression, we have a history of being involved with World of Warcraft raiding community at large, too. We were featured in the documentary "The Raid", and our former GM Lore used to host shows on Tankspot and Gamebreaker.tv before moving on to become a CM at Blizzard. A few of our members are regular streamers on Twitch, and we still get involved in the occasional class guide or fun project from time to time.

While raiding and being involved with World of Warcraft is how you get INTO the guild, what you end up getting out of it is so much more. The people here really enjoy playing games together, whether it's World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Hot-Steam-Game-Of-The-Month, or doing a Google Hangout and drinking the night away playing Cards Against Humanity. We value our community in and out of the World of Warcraft. A trial here is a trial to become not just a raider but a community member and friend.

Raid Environment
While we value progression and preparedness, we generally keep things lighthearted in raid. We are looking for committed raiders who show up to raid knowing what their role will be on any encounter, farm or progression. At the same time, we expect our raiders to have a relaxed attitude and generally be able to take a joke.

When we raid
Our current schedule is Sunday-Tuesday 8pm EST- 12am EST. (Please be aware we will be adding Wednesday to our schedule as needed when Warlords of Draenor is released)

To be prepared for raid, we expect raiders...
-to be ready to play the optimal or requested spec for any given encounter.
-to know the mechanics and their specific role on an encounter we will be progressing on. If you have any questions, please ask an officer or a fellow raid member, We would rather clarify before a mistake is made.
-to be fully gemmed, enchanted and reforged at all times.
-to be fully committed without other responsibilities during raid hours. While we expect an occasional absence to come up, please try and schedule other activities around raid time. 24 other people are counting on you to be committed to this schedule. We have a 10 minute scheduled break at 10pm for any quick afks that may be necessary during raid.
-to be stocked with any necessary consumables. You are required to be fed and flasked during raid.
-to be laid back, lighthearted and overall “fun”. This is the environment we strive for.

The bench
We expect all raiders to occasionally sit on the bench. We do not sit a set group of people every time we have no room. Generally, we ask for volunteers to sit on the bench. Unfortunately, some encounters require a certain raid comp. If you do not fit into that comp, we may have to sit you.

Attendance
We expect raiders to maintain a near perfect attendance rate. Real life does get in the way sometimes but to us this is not JUST a video game. You have a group of very real people who rely on you to be there every scheduled night. That being said, if you have to miss a raid day you must post out in our attendance thread. Your role officer will give you access to this and other threads upon acceptance.

Application Process and Trial Information
Generally, we expect all possible recruits to fill in an application. You may post your application publicly on our forums or privately to the proper Role officer or our Recruitment officer. Exceptions are rarely made it is up to the Role Officer.
Apply here using the application template monthsbehind.us/index.php?/forum/42-recruitment-forum/.

Recruits are expected to...
-Have 100% attendance unless an exception is discussed with your role officer.
-Bring your own consumables. This includes flasks, potions and 300 food. We do use Noodle Carts but on occasion, you may find yourself needing your own food.
-Warm the bench on occasion. We try to be fair and cycle the bench. Chances are, you will not spend your first week on the bench. How would we test you that way?

We do not have a set trial period. Your trial period is up to your Role Officer. Should you have any concerns about your performance, feel free to discuss it with your Role Officer.
