Lionheart

Instilling the Faith to Believe and the Courage to Act Guild Founder: Mawashimono Approx. Population: 275+ Guild Master(s): Mawashimono, Sincerelykrystal Website: http://lionheart-sk.forumjap.com/

Lionheart was built by Mawashimono as a guild that welcomes both long-time players and newer members with at least all 2* or better gear and at least a Soldier in prestige rank.

Our guild is a unique mentoring guild. This means that our goal is for our guild to be a place where you can grow both in your skills as player and in your ability to contribute to the greater good of the Spiral Knights community. Our GMs and officers will be happy to mentor you toward these goals if you desire it.

We do a variety of runs, including all clockworks and bosses when possible, Tier 2 and 3 runs to obtain recipes from the vendor Basil at levels 13 and 23 for members to use or resell, and occasionally do both guild and random Lockdown for fun.

If you are interested in joining the Lionheart guild, please send an in-game friend request to Mawashimono with the words "I would like to join your guild". Applicants will receive a response from the Guild Master within a few days. Or drop by our Guild Hall and ask to speak with a GM or an officer.

We look forward to getting to know you and enjoying this wonderful game together.

GUILDLINES In order for our guild to be a safe and enjoyable environment for all our members, we ask you to follow a few guidelines, or GUILDLINES, for playing and interacting.

1. Please avoid using foul or sexually explicit language. While an occasional swear word used in jest or mock anger may slip in, please remember that we have of players from age 13 and up from many cultures, so please keep public posts free from offensive language or images.

2. Show respect at all times. When you disagree with someone or a player does or says something you don’t like, try to work it out privately. DO NOT post personal attacks or anything intended to insult another player. Humility and empathy should be shown in your attempts to resolve any conflicts.

3. “Neither a beggar nor a borrower be” to paraphrase Shakespeare. Please do not ask ("beg") for things from other guild members such as crowns, energy or anything else of value. You can, however, politely (Not demandingly) ask for help with a mission. The GMs and Officers would be happy to carry along one or two less-abled players.

4. Use your words first. Do not send invites to join your party or become your friend or trade with you without first talking to the person and asking if they would like to. And do not invite guild members to join you if they are doing a mission.

5. Remain active. We generally remove any players who have been inactive for more than 1 week per rank.

Guild Hall Guidelines

Personal Rooms:

1) If you would like to share a room with your name on it in the guild hall, You can rent or share the cost of a room with up to 3 other players for 40,000 crowns per month.

2) You must buy whatever furnishings you want to put in your room. No Stealing from other rooms. We expect renters to furnish their rooms.

Guests: Our Guild Hall is generally open to the public. Remember, your words and actions are representative of our guild, so please be polite to visitors.

Guild Storage: Materials in storage are for crafting purposes only. Any player who removes materials or gear for the purpose of reselling them for personal profit will be demoted, or in extremem cases of pillaging, removed from the guild. Please try to donate the mats you used at a future time.

Energy Wells: These look much prettier when they are glowing blue with energy in them, and we want to keep them that way at all times. Only the GM and Officers can use the energy wells. You must self-monitor how much you are using.

Guild Treasury: Although members are not required to pay any upkeep, we encourage and appreciate your donations and rely on them for the continual upkeep and improvement of our Guild Hall.

Ranks and Promotions

Advancement in the guild depends on your competency and attitude as a player. Other things we look at are: 1) time spent in the guild, 2) maturity in words and behavior, 3) contributions to both the guild and Spiral Knights community, 4) reputation as a player, 5) quality of your gear, 6) ability to successfully complete various missions.

Recruit – You will be a recruit for your first week while we get to know one another.

Member – After 1 week in the guild, you will be for promoted to Member.

Veteran – Players will be promoted to Veteran rank after they have met the following qualifications: 2 weeks in the guild AND at least one 5* helm, armor, shield, and two 5* weapons AND Vanguard rank (has completed all the rank prestige missions).

Officer - Veterans who have been in the guild for a minimum of 3 months (but more likely 6) and have demonstrated exceptional qualities and maturity in the 6 areas above will be eligible for promotion to Officer. One of the Guild masters will approach you about possibly becoming an officer, so please refrain from asking to become one. You will be someone that we have come to trust, which takes times. Promotions to Officer rank will occur infrequently, (about 1/10 veterans).

With promotion to Officer comes a few new powers and responsibilities. You can now use officer chat (/o) and you will have the power to invite players into the guild at your discretion. Although you will also have the power to remove players from our guild, that is an action that only Guild Masters will perform, and only when absolutely necessary. No one will ever be casually removed from the guild.

Officers are an integral part of managing the guild's daily activities as you work with the other leaders of the guild to carry out the vision of the guild. You will be able to offer suggestions and give input more directly and readily. You will be expected to be a role model and mentor for other members.

Guild Master – There are currently no plans to add to this rank.

A pledge from us to you ~ We understand that the longer you are in a guild, the more emotionally invested you become in it. Please try to keep a proper perspective on the game as opposed to real life. This guild is but a small part of a "game" we all play and should never be taken too seriously. As much as possible, we will strive to make this not just "our" guild but also "your" guild as well.
