Welcome to "Gaming Knights"
Guild Summary
"Gaming Knights" is a modest yet laid-back guild, made for friends and relatives of "Spiral Knights". Our main objective is to help out other players of "Spiral Knights", but we simply hang out and have fun.
The most important thing about our guild is that we learn lessons and values from our mistakes; we build our characters from within, and we simply LOVE to have fun. It doesn't matter if we're a rich or not, our guild members is what matters the most; We're a family.
For those unfamiliar with "Gaming Knights"...
Whether you have been referred to this page or you just stumbled upon it, you've came to the right place :D. If you're unfamiliar with guilds or you just don't want to join one, THIS should change your mind. Our guild provides help for those who need it most, which is the most important thing, right? Another thing is that we actually listen, not like other guilds who have their "set-in-stone rules". We are open to suggestions, and even if we don't like the suggestion, we won't dismiss you rudely like others.
So keep in mind if you're searching for a guild: We LOVE to have fun, we got strong guildies who will assist you with your missions and we have one of the best staffs around, including our very knowledgeable GM and founder, Gamer-Troopa. If you don't pick us as your guild to join, then oh well, we hope you enjoy the one you picked. Hopefully you will join though :D. Until then, see you around SK players!
The History of the Guild
Well, I suggest if you're not into history of stuff that you move on to the next section because you might get bored. However if you are a "lore nerd" you should stick around and learn the history of the guild. I'll try not to make it too boring, and don't leave the guild if you think it is. :D
So It began with me (Jonbottron) and Gamer-Troopa both in "Flame Guild". Me, being an Officer at the time decided to recruit some people, Gamer being one of the people I recruited, and so began one of the greatest friendships (online) that I can recall in my lifetime, which isn't very long. :3 Gamer one day decided that he would start gathering energy and crowns to begin his very own guild. The first people he asked to join was me and Cool-Knight, another one of my good friends. Finally, Gamer created the Gaming Knights, the best guild in SK :D, around August 2012. We started recruiting immediately and gained some very loyal members. As I am typing this, the guild has be functioning almost for a whole year and we are still doin' it. So if you read all of this, thanks :D, and if you really enjoyed my story-telling prowess, then join our guild today. You won't be disappointed. We are still active and will continue to be active.
How to join Gaming Knights; the requirements
If you are those who just started playing "Spiral Knights", those who needs help in certain parts of the game, those who simply wants to have fun, or those who just want to be in a guild, feel free to drop in. If you want to apply for signing up in our guild, be sure to tell either Gamer-Troopa, Jonbottron or any other Officers (Cool-Night or Gearless) in-game and tell us that you want to join our guild.

Guild Motto & Order
We have put our heads together to come up with a Guild Motto. We expect you guildies (including us Officers and GMs) to remember it whenever we ask of you to recite it. This is the motto:
"When we think of Gaming Knights, we think of Humility, Loyalty, and Gaming."
Study this and remember it at all times just in case we ask one of you to recite it.
There are 3 values mentioned in the motto, Humility, Loyalty and Gaming. I will explain each value in details...
- Humility - In our childhoods, we are born in humble families and modest lives. As we grow up however, we strive to be ourselves; achieving our goals and desires, and living peacefully in life. This value represents our humility within us, as well as our hard-working nature, to earn our goals and desires in life.
- Loyalty - The crest of the guild, is meant to represent our loyalty and attachment of the guild. We all come from different locations, nations and continents, and we all come in many shapes and sizes. We, at "Gaming Knights", should respect and treat each other as a member of the family, because we are always different from the rest, yet we strive to live harmoniously, together.
- Gaming - The world of gaming is always filled with the unknown, as there are too many video games to even describe, to the point whereby the world of gaming serves as our second home. Once you has discovered a game, it's either a hidden treasure/gem, or a piece of trash. Even nowadays, there are organized competitions to test the skills of players worldwide. However, there exist hacks and cheats, allowing one to possess unfair advantages. Therefore, we should always be valiant and righteous knights, because we NEVER cheat, and cheating can happen anytime.
Another major topic we discuss is Order. We decided that the parts of Order in a guild would be The Rules, The Values, and finally, The Promotions. These are the main things that keep a guild running professionally and smoothly. Order is very important in a guild and in real-life.
The many values of the guild
Besides the Guild Motto, we also have these values that we have learned along the way:
- Security
Precautions are better than cures; be mindful of dangers and risks, and avoid perilous dangers.
- Courage/Bravery
Live for nothing, or die for something; Get out of your comfort zone, and risk your life for the greater benefit of others.
- Generosity
Be generous to share your stuffs to your guild mates and your friends (But not too generous, though!), and help their problems out.
- Kindness
Be kind to your fellow guild mates and play it nice!
- Honesty & Integrity
Be honest in telling the truth, even with your own actions.
- Humility
Be humble in your victories, and do not be arrogant; Accept your defeats and move onward.
Be humble and generous to give away something valuable for the better good; Sacrifice smaller benefits to gain greater ones.
- Independence
Sometimes, you have to learn to handle problems on your own, because you don't have to rely on others to help you all the time; believe in yourself.
- Perseverance
It's okay to fall down, you can always get back up again. As long as you're able to get up after falling down, you will be able to try again.
Gaming Knights guild rules
Like most common guilds, we have our own house rules guildies must follow, in order to create a friendly environment in the guild. Failure to comply with the rules will result in demotion or even being kicked out of the guild, so please, kindly pay attention. Also, we take our rules and values seriously, so we should expect the same from you. Here are the many topics of GK's rules:
- The MOST important rule in any video game; have FUN! Never ruin/spoil the fun or be rude with your relatives.
- Have respect for one another; respect the higher through kindness and politeness.
- During Arcade/Mission runs with other guildies/Knights, be aware on what weapon you're using; as some weapons aren't party-friendly. Weapons with powerful knockbacks are also considered non party-friendly (Nitronome/Blue Screen of Death/BSoD, Polaris/Trollaris, etc.), unless said weapons are used in a good way. In other words; Don't jeopardize your teammates with knockbacks too often.
- Whenever anyone dies during the run, please help them up by using your Spark of Lifes; we're trying to conserve and make good use of our Sparks, as efficiently as possible! Also, for dead guildies/Knights, please wait for others to help you up instead (changes are made, due to the BS update).
- Don't be a Drama Queen and beg; simply ASK and we'll provide you what you need. However if it's begging for higher positions in the guild, don't even think about it. T^T If you just ask without begging for the promotion and you and the GMs believe you deserve it, we will consider promoting you.
- If you want to borrow stuffs from us, Just ask and we'll let you borrow our stuffs, as long as you remember to return them afterwards (A way I recommend so you can remember to repay something to someone is to send them a letter titled, "I owe you...(what you owe them)". Also tell them to reply and for at least 30 days you will have a little reminder just in case you forget :3).
- If you have been inactive for a prolonged period of time, you WILL be demoted/removed from the guild, provided that you have stated your reason of absence. If you are demoted/expelled from the guild, you will receive a mail regarding your absence.
- If you are going to be inactive for a certain period of time, please inform either Gamer-Troopa or any Officers, and specify your reasons of absence. You may also notify either Gamer-Troopa or any Officers via mail.
- Officers: if you happen to know the reasons of absence from the inactive person, please inform me (Gamer-Troopa) and state his/her reasons for his/her absence, before I resort to demotion/kicking.
- For those who wants to have their own rooms (even Officers... T^T), simply look for me (Gamer-Troopa) and I'll arrange a Dormitory for you to reside in. Since it's a Dormitory, you have to share the same room with other members, who also wants to have their own.
- A dormitory only holds up to 4 members per room (4 beds for 4 members), so I'll arrange more dormitories when one of them is full.
- The Guild Hall also includes an Alchemy Room , which allows you to craft items and purchase select goods such as recipes and usables from the General Goods merchant, so please use it to your heart's content.
- Guildies of GK are required to deposit their crowns earned into the Treasury, to pay the weekly upkeeps. It's a guild's effort, people.
- If you don't feel like staying in the guild, and want to join other guilds or make another guild of your own instead, it's fine, provided that you specified your reason.
- If you left the guild/get removed by accident, it's okay, people can make mistakes. ^^
