I'm New Here!

Ah, I see you have stumbled across the Crusade guild page! This is intended to be a nice guild that will allow everyone to play with anyone, and leave no reason for anyone to have to use a random group! Usually the Schedule section will have a sign up sheet for boss fights. The sheets will be divided into groups, and will do organized boss fun! Of course, now, not everyone needs to be organized here. The hopes are that when you log in, there will be someone in the guild willing to let you join them in the clockworks! If not, you can start a party and invite other guild members instead! The guild isn't big enough to live out this dream, but that is the goal.

How Do Ranks Work?

Well, very simply actually! You are promoted based on your activity in the guild, and your trolling on troll days.

God Founder

The founder is the person who created the guild. It is the highest rank in any guild, and has basically complete control. That is my, Kazham, roll.

Guild Master

This position is the backbone of the guild, and the founders personal advisers. They help keep the chat in line, and defeat the vicious evils of raged crusaders. There carefree, kind, and willing to troll you when it comes that time of the year.

Officer

Officers are the worker bees of the guild. You can not become an officer without directly applying, and becoming an officer means that you will do a specific job. A lot of people find doing a job fun, as it gives them something to do while they're not in the clockworks. They basically help with simple jobs like recruitment, amusement, or keeping my Spartan Warship Collection in tip-top shape stability!

Veteran

These are the true crusaders! The ones who have stayed in the guild far and long! To get this positions means that you are an exceptionally active member, and are truley worthy of the rank you have received. This is the highest rank possible for an average member, unless you apply for an open job as an officer. We love all our veterans!

Member

You are an active member of the chat, and have even tried making conversations and inviting us to your clockworks runs! To be a member means that you are the bees knees, and we respect that! Just keep doing what your doing, maybe even be more active, and you'll be a veteran in no-time. Members can be demoted to recruits should their activity decrease without warning.

Recruit

These are the shy guys, the knights with nothing to say. To be a recruit means that you aren't active enough to be a member, usually these members will be let go. We try to keep an immensely social guild, and we don't want anyone who can not do that.

Our History

Enrich your minds with the most useless knowledge available, the history of a guild you may not even be in.

Preparation Phase One, Arcane Crusade is a Go! A Core Team The Black Dragon

A Guild In The Works

Crusade was in the planning for a month or so before it was actually made, but I was never really sure were I wanted to go with it. I mean, yes, any Tier 3 chump can go out and start a clockworks guild. They can set insanely high standards and only invite the "best of the best". Were does that get you in the game though? I thought the best way to go was into a social field, as, though there are a ton of them, I never really see them active. Requirements came into play, we would only allow active and social members, those who refused to chat would be cut. The gears were set in motion, we had planned to call it Arcane. Arcane was the big project, it was what I was looking forward to the most in the game, and so I was set.

The Death of Arcane

The Original Guild Logo of Arcane

Arcane was the big project! With the release of The Shadow Lairs we thought this would be a cool guild. The idea alone caught attention, and the thought was that it's shadowy theme would spur many a member. Of course, like all guild guilds, there was a problem. Funds came into order, and it was time to start the guild. Arcane was taken. The beloved guild name, taken, lost to the wind. What could we do? So much planning, so much effort and it was gone. I thought of names that could use the original logo, but none of them quite fit it like Arcane did. In the spur of the moment, I tried Crusade thinking it would be taken. I hit enter and began to think of more guild names, but then I heard it. The ding, the one that you here when you energy revive. The name had taken, Crusade was available! How? It seemed like an obvious name for a guild on a game about knights! I began to work, we didn't even have a logo!

The Officers

Recruitment! We needed members most of all! I began to spread the word, and it was going well! I couldn't handle the job alone, we had 20 members now! I needed a recruitment officer. Fightya and Killya, my first recruitment officers, they were what was going to bring the guild to it's peak. They recruited 33 more members! We were in the 50s, approaching the 60s! I was impressed, I was blinded by there success I didn't see what they were doing. They were turning this into something that was completely against the original plan. They were making it their guild, assaulting the very foundation of what I had worked on. They were preforming ceremonies, disobeying every ground rule I asked of them. It was out of hand, it was horrible! I had to let them go, they were the first officers I have had, and the first members to be removed from the guild. They had broken too many rules, they were not welcomed.

A Swift Recovery

We recruited 10 more members. We were doing great, an alliance with The White Lotus (Guild) was even coming into order! The previous officers were not a problem, and were swiftly replaced with our current. I was proud of the direction the guild was heading, my dreams were finally going into place. Crusade had taken complete control over my original love of Arcane! We even started Tier 1 Madness thanks to the help of Sarari! I think this guild will be around for a long time.

An Alliance Was Born

We have recently joined "The Alliance", a program started by Black Dragon (Guild). While it is a pretty neat idea, I'd like to see were it takes us. I feel as a guild we should be getting more involved, doing some stuff, joining things. This is probably the best way to force ourselves into the community, and perhaps get us heard. Heck, we can lower some Crystal Energy prices in the process! Personally, I think this is a great idea, and who knows were it'll take us! It's just another adventure for the guild to set forth on.

Code of Lawl

Yeah, this dump has rules too!

Aside from the simple rule "Don't kill any of us in our sleep", we do have some... less drastic rules!

• Be Excellent To Each Other

Except on Troll Day...

• Try and help the other knights
• Beggars can't be choosers!

You beg, you get kicked out/demoted. (If you are an officer, you beg, you'll be a veteran. If you are a recruit, and you beg, you'll be kicked out.)

• Yelling "SPARTA" at players you kill in Lockdown is encouraged (but not required)!
• Yelling "SPARTA" at monsters you will in the clockworks isn't encouraged, especially when you solo. It makes you look like a freak.
• Kazham is the judge, jury, and executioner. All punishments must come through me first!

Officers can report a misbehavior to me via /whisper Kazham or mail, and I will guide them how to handle it.

• If your butthurt, we're butthurt.
• Do not make us butthurt
• Your not allowed to know if you are sexy or not
• Don't give money to beggers, they'll just come back. Like racoons...
• Paradox = Bad
• Never charge your lazor
• 2012 isn't real
• 2012 is real
• Do not create a paradox, they're not cool.
• Speak in the chat or be forever shunned

I have the right to add any rules I feel necessary. If there isn't a rule on here that you feel should be, please contact me!

Guild Roster

If a box doesn't open, it probably doesn't have anything in it!

Guild Relations

Yeah, that's right. We know people too!

Recruitment

Usually you can talk to one of our recruitment officers, listen next to the name, or to me personally about joining. With the guild being new, we currently do not have any standards when recruiting. What we are looking for is mainly someone who understands how to play the game. At this point, we are also looking for someone who would like to be on the ground floor of guild development, to help with recruitment. Contact me in-game, or leave a message on the talk page to apply!

Head Officer

No Open Slots

It has become apparent to me after the behaviors of Fightya and Killya that we need someone to keep the other officers in line. We have few rules, and it is a shame that those two broke all of them. They are sense no longer in the guild, but I just would like to make sure everything turns out for the best. This job requires you to be well disciplined, as well as open-heated and funny. Trustworthy knights are requested for this job to keep other officers in line!
