Difference between revisions of "Crescent Phoenix (Guild)"

Crescent Phoenix, or CP, was founded by Zenithian-Alpha. We started out as part of Knights of Valkyria, where Zenithian-Alpha was a Guild Master. We branched off, along with a good deal of the officers, to create Crescent Phoenix.

We are a relatively new guild!

If we have open slots, we are always accepting of new members. Mail one or more of the officers (detailed below) and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Try to be as active as possible so that we can reach you.

• Member
  • Be in the guild for 2-3 days, and show some interest in the guild
  • Have 2* gear
• Veteran
  • Be in the guild for 1-2 weeks, and show interest in the guild and supporting it, through donations, helping people in runs, etc
  • Have 4* gear
• Officer
  • 2 Standard Paths
    • Voting
      • One person at a time is the elected representative of the people. This person can be impeached, or simply not voted for the next term.
    • Officer/GL Choosing
      • You can be chosen by a Officer or a GL(Guild Leader) to be an officer. This is based on the sole discretion of the officers and GLs

1. Respect each and every Guild Member. Verbal violence, discrimination, harassment, intolerance, and bullying is NOT tolerated. Be nice!
2. Try to use reasonable levels of spelling and grammar. People that have an inability to use grammar and/or spelling to the extent that they are unintelligible may find themselves ignored or worse. If English is not your first language, alert a staff member of it.
3. Excessive begging is prohibited. Begging may result you in being ignored or worse. No means no.
4. Don't take more than what you need from the storage. Really.
5. It's not reconmended to put materials into the guild treasury. That's what the guild storage is for. We can't get materials out of the treasury.
6. Be active
• • Members that are inactive will be kicked
    • Recruits have the smallest threshold of inactiveness, while members have a larger threshold, and veterans have a very large threshold. Officers are almost immune to this.
    • Furthermore, being social in this aspect helps. If the staff knows you, you may have a higher chance of escaping a kick.
  • If you have a reason to be inactive, mail Zenithian-Alpha your reason and how long you may be gone.

Be social!

7. People who are anti-social may find their progress through the guild's ranking ladder to be impeded. Communication is important.
8. Obey your superiors WITHIN REASON.
• • If an officer tells you to do something like enable full inspect, to get out of a chair, etc, you should probably do so. However, certain things, like being ordered to farm constantly, infringe on your rights, and you can state your protest.

The Justice System in our Guild

We have a justice system similar to the court system. If you believe someone is breaking a rule (this includes officers! We're not immune to our own rules.) then alert a member of staff AND mail a copy of the situation to Zenithian-Alpha. Reconmended Procedure:

• Preperation
  • Collect Proof
    • Take Screenshots
    • Get witnesses
    • Etc
  • Type up a complaint and mail it to Zenithian-Alpha
  • Confront the offender
    • Try not to be too rude.
      • Ask the person to stop first. If the offender does not stop, then the court system begins.
• Court System
  • Wait for an officer/staff to log on.
    • The officer, if available, will act as the judge/moderator
  • The mod will collect evidence (uploading screenshots onto imgur.com or some other fast image sharing site is recommended)
    • The mod may ask questions. Be prepared for this.
  • Prepare your case while the mod is collecting evidence. After the mod is done, say your side of the story, and what you think should happen to the offender.
  • The offender will make his/her case in defense.
  • The mod will decide the case, or potentially delegate the decision to a mod of higher ranking. This may take an extended amount of time.

• If someone else is breaking the rules
  • 1) Warn the person/Ask the person to stop
    • Has the person stopped?
      • Yes: Problem resolved. May want to tell a officer/GM for archiving
      • No: Proceed to step 2
  • 2) Get Evidence, such as screenshots, witnesses, etc.
    • Proceed to step 3
  • 3) Contact an officer/GM
    • Is one online?
      • Yes: PM Him/Her. If he/she is available, then meet them in a guild hall, preferably with the person that has offended you or broken a rule.
      • No: Mail him/her. Try to be active so that he/she can contact you later.

• Zenithian-Alpha

Zenith's skill somehow rapidly fluctuates from a ninja assasin to a clumsy buffoon. He claims that it's lag. It's actually a secret formula comprised of Red Bull, Jolt, Coffee, and Tea. Valve stole the recipe to make this formula and used it as the basis of BONK! Atomic Soda.Side affects include knowledge of spiral knights, insanity, seizures, internet crashes and power outages. It is rumored that Zenith is an alt of a GM, related to a GM, or a good friend of a GM, which would contribute to his/her knowledge of Spiral Knights. However, recent evidence suggests that this is false. Zenith is also rumored to have an incredible array of alts that he/she routes through tor and various proxies to prevent IP tracing. This, however, conflicts with the rumor that he/she lives in a strange area that prevents his/her IP to be traced. Zenith neither confirms nor denies any of these rumors.

Zenith is famed for his/her strange behavioral shifts when sleep deprived, ranging from insane to super serious.

• Omeganumeric (Mysterious Inactive Guy!)

Omeganumeric is suspected of being an alt of an undisclosed player. However, both Omeganumeric and the player neither confirm nor deny the accusation. It is rumored that the Guild Master knows the truth. Incidentally, another undisclosed member claims to have seen both of them on at the same time. However, some of the more radical members claim that the second undisclosed member is, in fact, ALSO an alt.

• Suitora (Treasurer-In-Chief!)

Is actually a cat in disguise. You see, the cat race has always been far more intelligent than the human race. We've learned to use our cuteness to demand pampering from our human servants. Our plans to take over the world are currently coming to fruit- Ooh, look! A ball of string! Seems to have some weird obsession with ice things and blue equipment.

• Dispicle-Of-Cronos

It seems that I'm the reckless one. I just run in there and hack and slash. Usually. Sometimes I just stand back and shoot everything to death. Well, either way, i'm ahppy to help ay knight in any mission, as long as I am free. If i am in th emiddle of a mission or boss run, it is highly reconmended that you DO NOT invite me. Trust me, you don't want to get on my bad side.
