=== What is the Night Owls Raiding Group (NORG)? ===


The Night Owls Raiding Group (also known as “NORG”) is a casual raiding group formed of members of the Alea Iacta Est guild located on the Earthen Ring World of Warcraft server. NORG takes its name from the fact the group commonly runs evening raids convenient for both east coast late nighters and people on the west coast. The core values of the group are to have fun, be sensitive to real life concerns and to resolve group conflicts. The long term goal of this group is to see as much end game content as possible in keeping with their values.

== Membership ==
=== How does NORG categorize its members? ===
NORG has two categories of members: Raiding Members and Reserve Members.
In order to be considered an Raiding Member, a) one must be level 80, b) be a NORG member, and c) been available and on time for a planned raid within the past two weeks. Posting to the weekly raid thread or informing the raid manager in advance as to one’s absence will also suffice for requirement c.
All other NORG members are considered Reserve Members.
=== How do non members apply for membership to NORG? ===
Membership is by invitation after the group has had several opportunities to run with an individual. One may post to the thread on the AIE raiding board or whisper the Raid Manager to be considered for an open spot in an upcoming raid. Kindly be aware that the NORG group does not always have open raid or membership spots. Invitations may therefore be infrequent.
