Cloud Nine means ''"bliss or a state of extreme happiness."''
Hello fellow guildies and lurkers. This page is still a work in progress. I've been very busy lately. See below for more information about our guild policy and events. Also, a formal guild website with forums is in the works as well. I would like to share with you a bit of my reason for starting this guild. My dream is to build a guild that players can gather, hone their skills, become better players over time. Through organization and personal determination, I will make this dream fulfilled. If you are a member of <Cloud Nine> already, thank you for all you do. I hope everyone has a safe Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) and stay tuned for more to come! <p>'''''- Ashiram, GM of <Cloud Nine>'''''</p>

*'''Officer Rank Test Revamp II'''
 +
**In consultation with my loyal Officers and due to the recent bug-fixes and buffs to the game, I have decided to make several amendments to the ''Officer Rank Test''. In preparation for new content, we need strong Officers to lead our guild to the future. As such, an Officer of <Cloud Nine> must be a true master of Tier 3, and set an example to those who he or she means to lead. Fine tuning of the Officer Rank Test revamp II will began shortly. As of now, please see below for changes:
  
'''1. Character name and current/previous guild(s):'''
+
*'''Guild Activity Requirements will be enforced very soon...'''
 +
**All <Cloud Nine> members currently not fulfilling the '''Guild Activity Requirements''' Will be messaged by Lord-Davan, or Flawedknight about not attending. Upon reaching population cap and the need for available slots, recipients will be the first to removed...

*''My equipment allows me to tackle any and all that Clockworks can dish out. I have Elemental/Piercing/Shadow damage reduction depending on the level. My swords deal all three damage types as well to cover any enemy out there. My favorite sword is the Archeon for looks and use. Polaris is there because it’s OP and everything can be solved by Polaris spamming a mob into a corner. Knockback + Shock = awesome. If you don’t see me wearing those items, I’m probably heating something or doing a Shadow Run. I have custom build gear for each Shadow Run type. If I listed them, you would be blinded by teh awesome.''

Greetings,
*Must be able to complete the following (with NO deaths):
+
 
**Solo (3-man or greater) [[Jelly King]]
+
I hope you are having a great holiday season. We are growing faster than ever! It was amazing just a month ago when we first started with just a handful of players. Now we are over half of the Max cap for a guild! Some very important announcements:
**Solo (3-man or greater) [[Roarmulus Twins]]  
+
 
***Maximum 3 Pills allowed for each Boss.

*'''Promotions!'''

*'''Trading between guild members'''
 +
**I have noticed trading and loaning between guild members. This is good to help out your fellow guild members. '''However keep in mind that <Cloud Nine> is NOT responsible for any deal/loan you make between each other.''' Personally I don't like owing people money or loaning for more than I have too. And if I do, I make good on my payment immediately when possible. I find that a lot of quarrels happen because of deals not honored. We ask that if you do decide to loan/deal with another guild member that you HONOR your agreement as soon as possible. I have noted that in our '''''Rules & Guidelines'''''. If you ask me to enforce a deal you made with someone, I will decline. Trust me, you do NOT want me arbitrate in your dispute. Just keep that in mind.
 +
*'''In-Guild Recipe & Material Trade'''
 +
**'''Suprvoo & Cheshireccat''' have created a Google Document '''SK:C9 Trading Post'''. This is for in-guild trading of Materials & Recipes to help each other. If you wish to participate please contact '''Suprvoo & Cheshireccat'''. Visit [http://bit.ly/C9Trading Cloud Nine Trading Post] for more info.
 +
*'''Dissolving all Guild Alliances & Treaties'''
 +
**As the title says, I am ending all our guild treaties until further notice. There has been little interest in it so far and it is difficult to communicate between guilds.
 +
*'''Added History section'''
 +
**So we all know where we came from! Work in progress. Stay tuned!
 +
*'''Added picture'''
 +
**Yup. Finally.
 +
 
 +
The end of the year is soon! I wish you all a good holiday season!

Hello fellow guildies and lurkers. This page is still a work in progress. I've been very busy lately. See below for more information about our guild policy and events. I would like to share with you a bit of my reason for starting this guild. My dream is to build a guild that players can gather, hone their skills, become better players over time. Through organization and personal determination, I will make this dream fulfilled. If you are a member of <Cloud Nine> already, thank you for all you do.

Treaties must be affirmed by the GMs of both guilds. Incidents between guild members of two guilds must be notified to the Officers/GMs of both guilds. Appropriate action will be assessed and taken as deemed necessary.  Failure to maintain treaty may result in the dissolution of treaty.

==Suggestions==

As a current member of '''<Cloud Nine>''', we are open to any and all suggestions to improve the guild. Please forward your suggestions to your nearest Officer/GM with an in-game mail. The guild is created for you. We will work hard for you to make it as great an experience for you as possible!
+
  
*<em>Please note that the terms and conditions above are subject to change at any time with/without notice for the betterment of the guild and its members.</em>
+
'''Spiral Knight players who wish to join our guild, please read the [http://cloud9sk.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=434963&TabID=3769776 Recruitment] section of our site.'''
  
==Q&A with the GM Ashiram==
+
==Rank System==
*'''Q: "Why did you create <Cloud Nine>?"'''
+
*A: "I founded <Cloud Nine> with the purpose of providing a high-quality experience for Spiral Knight players who strive to improve themselves on a daily basis. Our guild rank system enforces that by rewarding those who demonstrate the skills needed to survive in the Clockworks from Tier 1 all the way to [[Shadow Lair]]."
+
  
*'''Q: "OMG, Your tests are too hard... why do we have to solo things? This game is about teamworks too! Omg I am so noob. Like OMG!"'''
+
'''Spiral Knight players who would like to learn more about our guild structure, please read the [http://cloud9sk.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=434963&TabID=3773252 Rank System] section of our site.'''
*A: "You are under no obligation to take ANY of our Rank tests. Recruits can always ask Veterans and above for tips. But most people like to think they know everything or they can do everything. The Rank tests are designed to push our members to become better players and to demonstrate they have what it takes to EARN a rank. You think these tests are hard? Shadow runs are several times harder than what we put our members through. A good player can beat the odds, not hide behind them. If you can't cut it or won't cut it, then don't join."
+
  
*'''Q: "Why is <X> Officer so mean to me?!"'''
+
==Rules==
*A: "You must have misunderstood. If your feelings get hurt easily because we tell you something you don't like to hear but really it happens to be important such as gear Loadouts for Shadow runs, then don't join. We are not here to "carry" you. We are here to help you learn to become a better player. Do your own homework. If you can't handle a few words about how you need to gear properly for runs or defend your noob gear selection then join another guild."
+
  
*'''Q: "Hi Ash! Remember me? I am your best friend/brother/wife/insert x! Can I be an Officer? Oh btw, I have friends can they join too?"'''
+
'''Spiral Knight players who want to view our guild rules of honor, please read the [http://cloud9sk.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=434963&TabID=3770256 Rules] section of our site.'''
*A: "All Spiral Knight players who wish to join the guild must go through our process. We do not do "guild merges" or "package deals". Each and every person will be evaluated equally. In extremely RARE cases will exceptions can be made with GM approval. Those are few and very far between. In other words, do not expect any special treatment."

**As always, <Cloud Nine> will strive forward and improve it's processes daily to meet the ever-growing needs of our guild membership. When myself and Electricmessiah founded the guild, made it in the interest of creating a guild with process, organization and rules on which to run by. Electric wanted a high-end guild with Shadow runs/FSC runs 24/7 with the BEST of the BEST players. As I have come to realize, that is not possible. Spiral Knights is not your typical MMO. Soloing Vanaduke is VERY tough boss fight and it's unforgiving as well. One bad lag spike and you can be Mace-smashed into a falling ceiling with Shadowfire spawning on top of you. Since I have revamp the Rank Tests for Member and Veteran respectively, the number of attempts have increased significantly. I want to see the same with the Officer Rank Test. Our guild is strong with great membership and good people doing good things for the guild, I see it every day when I log in. We need new leaders to take care of our guild and guide our members. Yes, to some it may be "watering down" the test, but the focus is to make sure our Officer candidates have the adequate skill to complete Pre-Shadow Lair content and display their leadership potential. This revamp has been made in the best interest of the guild. So without further ado, here are the changes:
