After a few weeks of afkness Dark managed to come online and Theultralord and he managed to finally make their guild. Theultralord, however, didn't know what to name it. He decided to go for Sparta, for its perfectness in the Olympics, its socialness, and its richness. Turns out that Sparta wasn't rich, and was taken. So he put Athens in it and thus Sparthens came in.

A few months along and Sparthens was rolling smoothly. But the keen eyes of The-Ultralord noted that some guild members didnt contribute at all. And that problem grew and grew. From 70 members, we cut down to 40 for hoarding and inactivity. From there, we cut down to 30. And after various attempts to work out the problems, we had to cut down more members, and we're now down to 11. But we're definitely working on it!

 +
 
 +
4. Show him around the hall and sit him in the office. (If you cant use the guild hall, find a private place. Haven Garrison or the gardens work well.)
 +

{{showhide|Interview Questions!|content=
 +

 +
 
 +
3. Why do you want to join a guild?
 +
 
 +
4. (Give him the tax policy and rules) Are you going to be able to commit to these terms?

 +
 
 +
6. Do you play Lockdown?

10. What major armor and weapons do you have? Which do you prefer wearing the most? (Not including costumes) Why? Do you plan to upgrade it? To what? (if applicable)
 +

 +
 
 +
8. If the answers are unsatisfactory, politely tell them that they have not met the minimum criteria for acceptance, but they can always try again if they feel like it. Let them know that this guild is for the dedicated only.

===Taxes!===
 +
 
 
Yeah. Sorry. But due to the inactivity of around 40 out of 60 members of the guild, Theultralord and Phoenix-Wyvern have been forced to implement taxes. Dont blame them, those 40 forced their hand. Here is the proposed tax plan. It will be pretty lenient, but it will be monitored EVERY SUNDAY. Be prepared to pay! If you do not pay for one whole month without declaring absence, we will be forced to take... measures...

 +
1. 1000 cr per TWO WEEKS per knight in the guild. Not including Alts.
 +
 
 +
2. Tax will be "collected" the '''last Sunday of every week''', and will be monitored using the Guild Record.
 +
 
 +
3. ANY KNIGHT WHO DOES NOT PAY FOR ONE MONTH'S PAYMENT (2k) WILL BE: a) interrogated if he comes online OR b) if he does not come online for a week after we figure that out, he will be demoted and/or kicked from Sparthens.
 +
 
 +
4. Notify an officer or guild master if you are taking leave and tell him/her how long you plan to be absent. You will be excused from all taxes and payments while you are gone. Notify when you will come back as well so we can keep your place in the guild.
 +
 
 +
5. We will appoint a tax collector officer. More on this part soon.
 +
 
 +
6. You can pay in advance. If you will be afk or just dont want to procrastinate, this is a great way to ensure your place in the guild AND help us out! And if you think 1k per week is too much, note that ''any'' decent t2 mission gives you at least 2000 crowns. I personally recommend the Jelly King and Rise or Fall, rank 5-2.

History

  • If you were insulted by any of these titles, don't. These were humorous titles and should not be taken seriously.


Written by Theultralord.

About Sparthens

We're a growing, all-tier, knight friendly guild! We may not be the richest, or the most popular, or the most, err, "Coliseum-ish", but you know. Guild's gotta start somewhere right?

To Join

To join Sparthens contact a GM or officer via mail and they'll consider(they'll probably let you in).

GUILD RULES

As a guild there are obviously some limitations in what you can do in the guild. These rules will be monitored strictly, and insubordination will be treated with. Please follow them.

Having problems?

If you have any problems with the way a guild member is treating you contact a GM or officer. If you wish to file a complaint for anything, send a mail with proper punctuation (I cant tell you how important that is) to a GM or Officer.

2. Mail your ideas for new guild rooms to Phoenix-Wyvern or Dale-Cohanger NOW!!

Guild Procedures

Entrance Interviews!

So you just met this cool new guy, passionate about the game. But he has no guild. Well, the first thing you might think would be: "I want this guy in my guild!" Well, after the hoarding problem, we are now creating just a method to do that!

Taxes!

Yeah. Sorry. But due to the inactivity of around 40 out of 60 members of the guild, Theultralord and Phoenix-Wyvern have been forced to implement taxes. Dont blame them, those 40 forced their hand. Here is the proposed tax plan. It will be pretty lenient, but it will be monitored EVERY SUNDAY. Be prepared to pay! If you do not pay for one whole month without declaring absence, we will be forced to take... measures...

Here is how the plan will work.

Mandatory Payment Plan, as of November 2013

1. 1000 cr per TWO WEEKS per knight in the guild. Not including Alts.

2. Tax will be "collected" the last Sunday of every week, and will be monitored using the Guild Record.

3. ANY KNIGHT WHO DOES NOT PAY FOR ONE MONTH'S PAYMENT (2k) WILL BE: a) interrogated if he comes online OR b) if he does not come online for a week after we figure that out, he will be demoted and/or kicked from Sparthens.

4. Notify an officer or guild master if you are taking leave and tell him/her how long you plan to be absent. You will be excused from all taxes and payments while you are gone. Notify when you will come back as well so we can keep your place in the guild.

5. We will appoint a tax collector officer. More on this part soon.

6. You can pay in advance. If you will be afk or just dont want to procrastinate, this is a great way to ensure your place in the guild AND help us out! And if you think 1k per week is too much, note that any decent t2 mission gives you at least 2000 crowns. I personally recommend the Jelly King and Rise or Fall, rank 5-2.

7. More to come...

8. PAY UP!

Guild Fundraisers

Silver Key Fundraiser

If a member of the guild is willing to donate the profit made off of an opened iron lockbox to the guild, he can start this fundraiser. Members must donate energy to that player, and the player will use the engergy to craft a silver key. The key opens the lockbox and something is found inside.

If the item is valuable, it will be sold off the AH and the profit will be split among the guild, the owner of the lockbox, and the biggest sponsor.

If the item is not so valuable, the item goes to the biggest sponsor for him/her to do whatever with it.


Guild Events

Guild Meetings

1. The meeting is conducted with parliamentary procedure. If you dont know what that is, search it up.

2. There will be NO deviation from topic UNLESS Phoenix-Wyvern is conducting a drinks break and is serving you drinks from his portable bar.

3. If more than half of the online guild members are not able to attend, the meeting will be voiced IN GUILD CHAT. If you dont know what that is, its just: "/g Hey. I'm guild chatting." on the SK Chat server.

4. Until we have a proper guild meeting room, all meeting will be conducted in the Sparthens Office in the guild's left wing. All members MUST follow the guild rules. Absolutely NO profanity at guild meetings. Guild Masters sit in the front, guests at the back of the table.

5. The center chair is reserved for whoever is holding the meeting, and ONLY them. That person gets to lead the meeting and carry out procedures.

6. A Guild Master or Officer MUST be present for ANY meeting to take place. The meeting MUST be on the weekends, because Phoenix-Wyvern, Theultralord, and/or Loduten are usually on then.

7. Have fun! :)

Guild Party

1. Guild MUST be open to all visitors.

2. There must be more than 4 people in the GH to consider it a party, and it CANNOT be a guild meeting.

3. Parties can be thrown, say, when we make certain accomplishments, like new rooms, new wings, new floors, new themes, etc.

4. Do what you want. Dont get drunk on Phoenix-Wyvern's drink cart. AND PLEASE FOLLOW THE GUILD RULES

5. An officer and/or guild master MUST be present.

Menu for Phoenix-Wyvern's Drink Cart (its free!)

This month's specials include:

1. Luminite Martini

2. Bomber Booze

3. Mango Mead

4. Vanaduke Vodka

5. Valestone Vodka

6. Brimstone Brandy

7. Munitions Mead (Happy New year!!)

Ask Him for the drinks! He'll be happy to oblige.

NOTE: DO NOT MAKE HIM PULL LORD VANADUKE OUT OF THE WALL

It can give people a LOT of mental problems. Theultralord had to undergo serious therapy and rehab for a week before he got over THAT.

Thanks so much!

To all people who took the time to read this page, thank you.

To Guild Members

I hope you take the rules seriously. Please follow them. As for the other notes on guild procedures, we hope you enjoy your stay in Sparthens! Every single one of you has the potential to make this guild better! Our goal is to get up there, in league with guilds like Echo of Silence, Rogue, Is a Vampire, Dark Hearts, and Hamsterz. Thanks!

For Visitors

I hoped you liked this page. Please consider joining us, as we have potential (and a creative mind).

If anything can make this page better, your comments can. In the talk page, please post:

1. How the actual site could be improved
