Official Clan Hunt Taboos
Our official hosts have noticed some trends that may endager the lives of our members or
generally make the hunt an unpleasant event. To avoid this, we put together a few taboos for
our members to follow. It's usually not an issue, just a general guideline for those with
questions or if a situation arises.
- OCH (Official Clan Hunts) are to benefit the clan, not the
individual. They were contrived to bring in funds to support clan events and
gain clan features, not to leech people. If you level on the hunt,
great! If not, don't ask the hunt to go longer. Think to yourself,
am I here for my clan, or for myself?
- OCH are also meant to benefit the members of Dharma as a training
tool to become more masterful group hunters. Contained in the
basic idea of Dharma is to become the very best you are capable of being.
Learning to work as a tight, organized skilled member of a group
is one of the bonuses of being a Dharma member.
- Stay together. This tip is useful even not on group hunting,
it is essential for the sanity of both poets and mages and for life
to the warriors and rogues.
- Shouting for Asv the second it wears off is annoying. If you
stayed together Asv can be perfectly timed. When you see one person
ask for Asv, you don't have to. If it seems that Asv is being
neglected or it missed you, ask then.
- It is generally recommended that only 99s attack Hills and Black
Mantis. It is strongly advised that non-99s do not even stand
close, as they can kill you in one hit. It is up to the host(ess)
to make the decision if a non-99 may attack them.
- Do not whirlwind without adequate warning. Saying WW at the
same time you cast the spell is not adequate warning.
- Know and watch your host(ess) and group members. If you walk
into a room where there are other people hunting, be courteous and allow
them their space. Give a Dharma Greeting and remember your actions
as a Dharma group count a lot for Honor.
- Do not race away from the group to attack the boss. The OCH
Rules are very specific. You stay with the group until the group
can move to attack the boss.
- Official Clan Hunts are for our members only. Sure, from time
to time we might run across a non-member friend who offers assistance.
It is a noble gesture and we thank him/her, but that person is
not to be invited to group or tag along with the OCH. They are
not trained to be with our group and they pose a liability to
the safety of the group.
