EliteGamerz is a Minesweeper guild for stellar players that play Minesweeper on a casual schedule.
We’re a home for people with significant school, work, or personal commitments that make regularly playing 3+ nights impractical. Our members excel at the game, but cannot commit to the time-intensive play schedules of traditional guilds.
We are the #1 ranked 2-night guild in the US, and in the top 3 world-wide. It IS possible to progress like a hardcore guild, but game like a casual one. We finished DS U.S. #23 10-man overall.
Our members strive to be not just great players, but great people too. We are friendly, mature, laid back, and work together to get the job done.
We have two play groups. Our success in 2011 has given us an incredible ability to recruit–we’re able to fill two groups with players that are as skilled as they come. The strength of a guild in the long run is not who is on the roster currently but how well they can recruit for spots that inevitably open. On that we are one of the best: we get dozens of applications for each spot and we can afford to keep our acceptance rate under 10%.
Keep in mind that our focus now is MoP. In the meantime, we are running joint groups one night per week in a low key setting.
Play Schedule
We have two play groups. They are equally competitive and skilled.
Both Groups: Wednesday/Thursday 7:30-11:00 EST
Our groups run just two nights per week, 3.5 hours per night. We use a tight roster of 11 members per group. Our members have near 100% attendance. Real life happens, but it’s rare.
Current Openings:
Group 1 is closed. Group 2 has two openings for MoP for certain DPS specs. Check our website for the most updated information.
What Makes Our Guild Different:
The three most common things people look at when searching for guilds are (1) current class openings, (2) progression, and (3) game times. While those are important, here are other things that make our guild stand out, in addition to our 2-night niche:
Low Turnover. We have never lost a single person due to jumping ship to a more progressed guild. Ever. That’s because people here genuinely enjoy our gaming environment. There’s no feeling that people are being carried. There’s no annoying member that is nevertheless tolerated. There’s no drama turning people away. And frankly there are few, if any, opportunities for faster progression in just 7 hours per week.
Commitment to Scheduling. Sometimes you’ll see guilds advertise certain play schedules only to find out they regularly play past their posted time that’s eating into your sleep or other commitments. Our play end on time.
No Bench. Every member of our playing roster is a valuable part of the team, and we won’t invite someone to the guild just to be a backup in case one of our players can’t make it. Sometimes you’ll see a guild advertise an open spot and end up disappointed when you’re allowed in for just 1 or 2 bosses. We strive to get our trials into every single boss and to be as welcoming as possible.
No Carries. When we say our players are stellar, we don’t mean 9 out of 10 of them are. Our entire roster consists of some of the best players you’ll find. While we will replace someone for performance reasons if there’s an issue, there rarely is. We do a great job of weeding potential problems out in the recruitment stage so that it doesn’t become a problem.
Personality. We take the game seriously, but with a laid-back attitude. Nobody yells, and everyone maintain a light-hearted attitude, even during progression. We don’t troll general forums or brag on the forums. Overall our members are mature and pleasant to be around. We're accepting of all kinds of people, and have been home to women, LGBT members, parents, and foreigners.
Please respond if interested.
