There is nothing about this rule set that does not allow for new guilds.

Here.
Guild-Newbie wants to raid.

Guild-Newbie's guild leader makes a post on the forums (raid guilds section?), Hey - We have 15 raiders ready to get on the rotation for this boss, and that boss. Guild - Newbie's GM then informs the current raiding guilds that they will be able to raid in the next rotation.

Guild-Newbie is inserted at the TOP of the sit-out rotation

Raiding guild - raid targetX
Raiding guild - raid targetX
Raiding guild - raid targetX
Raiding guild - raid targetX

(all guilds flow down in the list rotation)

Guild-Newbie will be responsible for notifying their surrounding raiding guilds of their request for a spot. Just because a post is made - don't assume everyone trolls the forums all day.

I included a part in my original write up that states - if you can't kill your target in XX hours, then you forfeit - you also lose your spot for a full rotation. I thought this would help with too many new guilds trying to cram themselves into the rotation too fast.

Now 24 hours might seem too long, it would give almost everyone a guaranteed shot. 12 hours would at least give you a chance - and would also allow for the "hardcore 24/7" raiders to be right there waiting when mid-day bosses are sitting up.

However if the window is shortened to 12 hours, forfeiting your spot for a full rotation seems a bit harsh.
