In the beginning there was nothing but the endless void. On the fateful day of June 14, 2011, Ashiram was brought forth into the land of the Cradle. It was a time where wearing full Vog Cub Gear to be admired and price for 100 CE cost 3,000 crowns. Armed with his Proto gear, Ashiram struggled for several months scrapping just enough for his first 5-star weapon: Divine Avenger. Using Heavy Demo Gear as his default loadout, Ashiram toiled away painstakingly to save enough CE just to get by. A guild-less wanderer of humble origins, Ashiram happened upon a chance encounter that would forever alter his destiny...

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>

About Us

<Cloud Nine> is a rising premier guild of Spiral Knights. Founded on November 14, 2011 - Our mission is to be at the forefront and leader of accomplishing Spiral Knight end-game content.

We help each other out to reach goals and most importantly we have fun!

Cloud Nine means "bliss or a state of extreme happiness."

Using Heavy Demo Gear as his default loadout, Ashiram toiled away painstakingly to save enough CE just to get by. A guild-less wanderer of humble origins, Ashiram happened upon a chance encounter that would forever alter his destiny...

Q&A with the GM Ashiram

  • 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!"
  • 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. 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. I am always learning something new everyday. I'm not the best by any means. I keep an open mind and absorb information. 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. Keep in mind that during "Rank Tests", the non-solo sections (i.e. Teamwork) are taken into consideration as well. In the end though, if you can't cut it or won't cut it, then don't join."
  • Q: "Why is <X> Officer so mean to me?!"
  • 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 and hold your hand. 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?"
  • 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 individually and 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."
  • Q: "Oh no! I just failed a Rank test. I'm going to cry now and leave the guild. Why did you let me do the test when I asked you?"
  • A: "Really? Are you serious? You ASKED for a Rank test. We are here to learn and improve. The point is to learn from your mistakes and get better. You think everyone passes their first Driver's test or scores a touchdown the first time they play football? Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up. If you have that attitude where you give up on the first try, you will never get anywhere in life. I'm not perfect. No one is. Keep your head up, and handle it."
