We don't raid more then 4 days a week and we like it that way. Probably the best balance between real life responsibilities and managing to enjoy the end game of EQ2 that could be found.
You guys cleared VP on Dec 6th with a 6 day a week raid schedule.
We're up to SilverWing on a 4 day a week schedule and we also took 2 weeks off for the holidays. If you can't see how that would impact a persons decision to join us then... sorry.
Now, getting only 4 hours of sleep 3 nights out of the week, that kind of sucks but hey! What can you do!

Dont get my wrong Im glad you guys are up to silverwing at this point. Infact I welcome and encourage the competition when more contested come out. I was disapointed last expansion we only lost PHHM 1 time in all of EoF as our so called "equal competition" was no where to be found. But to sterotype that we only get 4 hours of sleep a night is completly false and misleading yet again.
Ill spell it out for you. This expansion is so easy, aside from Tangrin and Trak bugged or not, that we only really raid 2-4 hours a day with a day or two off a week. VP is cleared in 2 days (soon to be 1 and the only time we put in 5+ hours in a night) and we punch out 2-3 zones a night etc etc. Less hardcore guilds spend more time clearing content than we do which is one of the highest misconceptions of the EQ2 community. Just because we are "hardcore" does not actually mean we are raiding more. Just ask any of the guilds spending 5+ hours in ToK just to start it over and do it again tomorrow.
Either way, I didnt want this to turn into a Paradigm vs D12 thing because in game speaks for itself but more so to clear up some of this misconception in Scoundril's conversation. We are two different guilds with different priorities and that is fine. But claiming yourselfs as to being "equal" or almost "equal" to Paradigm sounds like a pretty good recruitment scheme if you ask me and one that should not be used. Because no matter how you word it, it is false and misleading to possible recruits.
