Guild News

Our Steam group is now live under the moniker Codex Regius. Join! JOIN!

Please note that our promotional requirements are currently under review.

Current events:

Christmas: Merrier the Merrier or more the Merrier?

Stay tuned guildies, and like always stick together. Because glue is expensive!


Previous Event:

Previous events are logged here. Feel free to contribute to the event logs and gallery.

Our Officers and GMs are always open to event suggestions.

Updated:

Guild Registry (1st April 2013). Please note changes to the wiki take some time to come into effect.

Code of Conduct

~ Social ~

Everyday guidelines so that nobody ends up in a shallow grave under the shop behind Brinks.

♞ Guard Conduct ♞
Asking For Financial Support:
  • No guild member will ask another for Crystal Energy (CE), Crowns, Materials or Equipment.
  • If you need assistance, please ask in a general manner. Example: "Can someone assist me in making X?". We are happy to provide assistance, though at our own discretion.
  • Do not nag guild members to trade materials, especially after the initial 'NO' response.
Conversations & Banter:

Conversations (Guild Chat): Keep it concise and legible.

  • Please don't use the guild chat for personal One to One communication; use the Tell feature for that.

Banter (Guild Chat): Please keep the banter clean and mature.

  • Keep it concise - stick to the point if communicating with someone in a different location.
  • Keep it clean (this means no toilet humour).
  • Keep it legible (proper sentences, thanks).
  • DO NOT make a personal and malicious attack to cause offense to an individual or the guild. Think about it before you press ENTER.
Respect People's Boundaries:

No harassment of members. No harassment of any players. No gendered creepiness because you think someone looks like they might be a girl or a boy or a wolf or "WE COULD BE TOGETHER FOREVER!!!".

If you have a problem relating to

(1) promotions,
(2) testing,
(3) harassment, or
(4) unjust decisions,

please address the problem directly with an Officer or Guild Master.

♚ Officer Etiquette ♚
Maintaining Rapport:

Officers and above are responsible for setting the example to follow. Be respectful, approachable and objective in your dealings.

  • No Guild Master or Officer will refer to a guild member as a Noob or other demeaning name.
  • Remember to word your warnings in a neutral constructive way, rather than "Stop that now, or I will kick your worthless %@$".
  • Promoting and demoting is a guild decision between the officers and guild masters. Whereby we will recommend and consider the potential of an individual promotion/demotion on their merits or lack of. Please consult the ranks/requirements when deciding whether they're ready or not.
  • No Officer or GM is allowed to recruit more than 3 players a week, so that we do not quickly fill the ranks with recruits. We would like our ranks to be equally balanced
♝ Redress of Grievances ♝

Making a complaint:

If you have trouble with another guild member, please /tell an Officer or GM, and make sure to take a screenshot of the incident (F12 for Steam users).

  • Please send all screen caps of your issues to...
Valkyrianguard at sign gmail dot com

If there is no Officer online, make sure you send the screenshot to the Valkyrian Guard email with an explanation and leave an Uplink message for one of the Officers or GMs; we'll get on to it.

- Combat -

Bellic guidelines so that nobody ends up in a shallow grave under the flagstones of the Royal Jelly Palace.

♜ Battle Orders ♜
Invites and Joining:
  • Joining a party: Please ask for an invite from a member on the deployed party.
  • Starting a party: Please don't invite everyone in the guild to join your party, please ask members if they're interested first.
  • Joining a location: Please ask before barging in on a member if they're in haven etc.
Reviving:

Please don't waste all your energy reviving yourself. It's expected that all guildies revive each other in combat, before the use of energy to revive. We will often set guidelines depending on the Tier and Shadow Lair.

Soloing:

Before you solo, please ensure that there are no guild parties deployed or deploying that are within your Tier. We are a team and we will always support each other.

Heat:

Please ask at the end or beginning of a mission for heat, we don't want to play 'revive' in the middle of a mission.

AFK or BRB:

Die or leave battle so the team can move forward. You're always welcome to kick the GM JinnDukken if he is idle, since his GF will suddenly force him to do random requests that take his attention away.

At the very least, warn your team-mates if you're going to go idle at any stage during a run.

Officer & GM Testing/recruiting Guide (under edit)

Guide lines and observations for recruitment and promotions
Screening and selecting recruits:

If you see a Knight who holds their self well in battle or socially, arrange a formal trial run and discuss the recruitment with your fellow officers before sending an invite. Recruits are chosen by their attitudes as well as abilities, so please remember we are building a cohesive guild, not the largest one.

Restrictions:

  • Age restriction: 16 years and upwards.
  • Do not accept people that beg or bother you to join the guild.
  • People with names that are actually words and not random letters.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Make sure they can communicate well in English (whether native speakers or otherwise).
  • Recruits are encouraged to advance in rank. If you choose to not be promoted within 3 (three) weeks of joining the guild without having a reasonable excuse, you shall be consulted with by the public affairs representative and possibly removed from the guild.

  2. Ask them to read the sections on rules, and if they're interested in knowing how to be promoted, refer them to the requirements page. If they don't have time to read the guild wiki or take active interest in the guild, then it will only stunt their own development.
