So, you wish to join our guild and fight with us in this endless conflict with the Alliance? Do you have the strength to stand with us in battle? As with all people who desire to be soldiers in war, there comes a time of trial. It is here that you will be deemed worthy to be a Soldier among the Subatomic Guild. It is here that you will stand on the front lines, and it is here that you will prove to us that our army is stronger with you in it. Anyone still standing after two weeks most likely will be brought into our fold.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROMOTION TO SOLDIER
1) Be an active, contributing member for about two weeks (trial time)
2) Be Officially registered on our guild webpage.

There is no such thing as a Soldier without a family. There is no such thing as a battalion of PVPrs without the need of support from those near us. As we have fought hard to make our guild numbered among the best, the forces of the Horde have sought to share with us the spoil of war and grant upon us certain PERKS. Though, one must be a part of our guild to share in the spoils war and feast upon these benefits. Thus, this rank was created. Our family and our real life friends, who may not qualify to the standards we have set forth to be Soldiers, can now join with us as Civilians. A guildie must have acquired the rank of SPECIALIST to receive the benefit of his friends/family obtaining this rank. Rare, special exceptions can be made.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROMOTION TO PVP RANKS
1) You MUST meet all of the normal guild recruitings standards (Age, Exp, etc.)
2) Be Officially registered on our guild webpage.
3) Submit a NEW guild application acknowledging your desire to move to PVP ranks.

As with all battles, sometimes the only way to win is by sheer numbers. Is your Main weary from battle and you wish to bring in that other character you have sitting on the sidelines? Have you mastered the skills of your class, but find you might enjoy healing rather than dps more fun? We have plenty of reinforcers for all occasions.

You have come far. You have proven yourself worthy and now find yourself numbered among our exclusive force of Soldiers that represent the Horde. As a Soldier among our guild, you strengthen us. There are many different ranks of skill among you. Some of you are proud heroes of the battlegrounds, leading as Generals. Some of you shine forth as champions of the Arena, giving honor to our guild name. Some of you may fight for glory and some of you may be fighting for revenge, but ALL of you are fighting to win. It is a great honor to be at this rank.

You are an example to others, mature, and insightful. It is not often one is given the honor of achieving this rank, and it truly is a badge of honor to have it.

As you walk across the battlefield, shortly after the Alliance have retreated from your forces, you find many who have fallen... yet, there you stand, alive, stronger than ever, and emboldened by your victory. Because of you, many have lived. Because of you, your knowledge, and your skills, you have overcome the Alliance, and your leadership helped lead others to the victory. As a result of your proactive nature, many in the guild have looked to you for advice. You are an asset and a rising pillar in the guild. You may still be young in fellowship with us, but great potential is seen in you.
This is the first tier of leadership in the guild. While the other ranks were about honor and skills, this rank is about leadership, about being able to give good advice to any of your class who may ask it, and about being an active and contributing Soldier. Be wary about letting the rank change who you have been that got you here, as many have let it get to their head, and in their new found honor, lost sight of what really was important, unity in the guild against the Alliance! Hold fast to what you have been doing to get yourself here, be humble, and lead with a great attitude, and this guild will be more powerful than ever with you as one of our Captains.
PRIVILEGES OF RANK
1) All former privileges added to this rank.
2) Guild and Mumble status updated to reflect rank.

- Welcome to join Officer meetings(optional for Elite)
4) Access to Officer Chat Channel
5) Additional Guild Bank uses and privilidges.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROMOTION TO COMMODORE
Be aware that the following ranks do not have a point by point way to get promoted. Really, any higher position is reserved for those that have been in the guild for a significantly long amount of time and are absolutely committed to this guild's on-going success. It is unreasonable to think that because one is amazing at PVP, they should quickly rise in the ranks of leadership. Will they possibly rise quickly to Elite? Maybe, but leadership ranks are different, as they require a deeper commitment to the guild. They are people that are good leaders and go out of their way to get things started, come up with ideas, and help guild members out when they can. While we are a casual guild, they understand that in a higher position extra time is devoted to planning and handling of guild events. They understand thoroughly that as more people get stronger, then we all get stronger. They participate actively with the guild and have that vision of a bright future for the guild. Being active in the forums is a great way for the leaders of the guild to see how intertwined with us you are.

Even the leaders of the guild can grow weary from war. This rank purely exists so that our leaders who may be on their alts can still communicate with other officers in the private coded officer chat channel, and also, to have access to the guild bank with their expanded privileges to assist other guildies. This allows them to handle the officer management responsibilities without the need to continuously log over to their main.
When the smoke has cleared, the bodies have been buried, and the chaos of the battlefield has gone, you stand as a testament of the Horde’s strength. You stand as a beacon of light in the guild, and others around are inspired by your likeable and mature qualities. Your long and difficult journey, filled with joys and filled with deep trials, has only strengthened you. When the stories of the battles that have been fought begin to pour out from the lips of our Soldiers, there is one thing that holds true in every story... you were there on the front lines, though you did not need to be. You were brazen and proactive in your leadership, though your current rank did not require it. You fought with honor, and with the maturity and personality that drew the Soldiers to you. You emerged as a war hero. This rank is not easily obtained and it is quite rare. It is a huge honor to wear the title proudly, and most importantly, to continue leading by example.
PRIVILEGES OF RANK
1) Guild and Mumble status updated.
2) Admin status in Mumble with many features.
3) Access to several guild administrative features.
4) Access to Officer Forums on Guild Webpage
5) Access to Officer tabs in Guild bank
6) Access to limited funds to help guild events.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROMOTION TO ADMIRAL
The journey to Admiral is not an easy one, but already much of the process has already been completed to get you to Commodore. Simply put, if you are asked to join the ranks of those where only a small handful of people have ever been, you are someone we see in the guild as having countlessly proven yourself worthy of it, through activity, leadership, and intelligence. You love the guild, are proud of it, and you get along incredibly well with everyone. If you receive this honor, then we are saying that we have absolute trust in you, and we believe that you would be very capable as guild leader, and the only reason you might not be is because we already have one, and therefore this rank exists, just below him.

As you walk past all the soldiers, standing in a line, ready to charge the battlefield, it is difficult for them to look into your eyes. They seem aged, strong, and extremely intimidating. Your eyes have seen countless battlefields. They pierce one to the very soul. Yet in them is not a fear or loathing that is felt, but of complete confidence. The confidence that you have also boosts the morale of our army. It is not just that you have climbed the ranks of the guild, but it is that you have done it without seeking out the leadership, it found you instead. It is something that has come naturally to you, and not out of any previous experience, but out of passion for the guild and a passion for the death of the treacherous Alliance.
You have what it takes to lead this guild, but you also honor and revere its current leader with respect. You do not look down on others in the guild, but you have a broader understanding and you see the bigger picture. You understand that by lifting up the weakest ones, and by strengthening everyone, the guild as a whole is stronger. You are a rock, heavy and immovable, and steadfast in your diligence to moving this guild forward in the world of PVP continuously. You are worthy of all the praise given, and you are worthy to assist in leading this great guild.
PRIVILEGES OF RANK
1) Updated Mumble and Guild Rank status.
2) Full access and control on Guild Bank.
3) Full admin control of Mumble.
4) Honor and Prestige among the guild.
5) The Honor of Serving the Guild More.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROMOTION TO GRAND ADMIRAL
This is simple, as all you that you need to do is wait for the Guild Leader to retire and choose you!

![]()
As the stories of heroism and triumph spread across the lands of Azeroth, there is one name that is heard by all, "Subatomic Particles." The legend of their greatness carries with it many stories, many that sound outrageous and exaggerated, but little do most people know, they are all true. This guild carries with it a special envy, of people that have realized that we have figured out the best formula for FUN. Alas, our great leader stands at the front, The Grand Admiral, the Warchief of Zul'jin! It is rumored to achieve this rank, you must have Nordic or Scandinavian blood running in your veins, be over 6' 6" tall, and constantly be mistaken for a Viking, and goes by his fake human name, Nasum. Other than that, it is a mystery of who this person really is.

Insults/Verbal Harassment
Words that are rudely sexual, racial, bigoted remarks, or violent verbal assaults on guild members or otherwise (which will reflect negatively on our guild) will not be tolerated in any way. Swearing, on the other hand, is different. We are all adults, and we all know that being frustrated can result in an expletive or two. While we expect you to refrain from swearing every other word and that it should be extremely limited, if you are extremely sensitive to this, you may want to reconsider us as your guild.
Ninjaing and Drama
As a member of SAP it is important that you represent our guild both in and out of it. We like to have fun, but is important that you do not make our guild look bad through Ninja'ing, Trolling, Elitism, or anything else that may be considered douchebaggery. We will not hesitate to remove someone from the guild in violation of this. Furthermore, Guild drama is something that will not be tolerated. We understand that not all people get along all of the time, so we understand if there are occasional clashes, albeit minimally, but there should be absolutely ZERO fighting in guild chat. If you have any problems with a member of this guild, it is expected that you try to resolve this matter on your own, like an adult. If after all that you still cannot resolve it on your own, please inform an officer in the guild and we will try to help correct the problem. We are a fun, drama free guild and wish to keep it that way. Any member that messes with this harmony will be removed swiftly.
Crafted Items
As a guild, we should work together to help each other level our tradeskills. In the long run, this will benefit the guild as a whole. You should not charge guild members for crafting items either. However, you should not expect anything completely free of charge. Providing materials for the item you wish to have crafted is necessary of you. This also means no begging for gold or items. There is nothing wrong asking if anyone has anything extra they would like to give up, just do it tastefully and don't always expect to get something.
Promotions and Leadership
One thing that we believe in at SAP is that all of our members are capable of being very good leaders. Unfortunately, we can't make everyone a leader. Our guild has been around since January 2008 and we have built up a very strong foundation of leadership through the years. For those of you that feel like you have something to offer to the guild, this is fantastic and we look forward to your contribution. Just be active and friendly in the guild, and if you then find that SAP is the best home for you, and you also find yourself committed to our excellence, you will get noticed. The best leaders we have are the ones that never sought it out, it found them.
Guild Arena/BG Teams
While we do have several guild teams, one cannot expect to be placed on a Team just because they are a member of SAP. We try hard to help people get on these Arena and BG Teams, but we cannot always accomodate everyone all the time. Sometimes, the only answer is to just make a new team yourself. One should not feel offended or put off because they did not get an invite. Often times there are teams where everyone that has a 2k+ MMR, in full season gear, and as a result will be placed against very competitive teams. They will be much more picky in who they choose. Fortunately, many of these people still run teams with less strict standards that most of us can hop in. If you need any tips on organizing, just ask an Officer for advice. We try to be as helpful as we can!
Guild Bank
Reaching higher ranks in the guild opens up access to the guild bank. Since we are a PVP guild the bank is not that critical to our guild, but more of a convenience. Donations are always welcome, but we do ask that you do not load the bank up with old school items that are mostly uselss. We DO offer guild repairs through the guild bank, but we DO hope that you help contribute to our fund. While adding the full amount of your repair is not necessary, contributing some gold on occasion helps the cycle to keep going and allows us to provide this feature continually in the future. Thanks!
Alts/Friends and Family Guild Invites
Alts are welcome in the guild once you have earned the honor of being promoted to SOLDIER rank after your 1 weekish trial period as a new member. In regards to them playing in guild premade BGs, please remember that to ensure the top quality of our PVP your alts must be geared to participate. Trying to hop in rated and premade BGs just to grind honor quicker so your alt will get geared is not acceptable as these premades are not for honor farming(5 man randoms are though), they are for pure power and competitive fun, not gear grinding. In regards to friends and family, we do have a special rank called CIVILIAN for them in the guild, if all they want to do is just play the game in the same guild with you whilst getting the guild perks. This rank ONLY applies to those that do not meet our PVP standards of play/gear. If they are good enough on their own, they will be moved through the normal ranks like any other member, based purely on their own merits, and they should submit their own full application to the guild. Otherwise, friends and family can only receive invites and bypass normal guild standards of recruitment once you yourself has reached the level of SPECIALIST.
