Welcome to "Gaming Knights"

Guild Summary

"Gaming Knights" is a modest yet laid-back guild, made for gamers, friends and relatives of "Spiral Knights", and video games. Our main objective is to help out newer players of "Spiral Knights" and other video games, but we also hang out and chat with each other, while having fun at the same time. However, there is a time when the world of gaming would be threatened; hacks, glitches and cheats exist for the sole purpose of achieving unfair advantages, to dominate the world of gaming. As such, we should always be ready, as it may happen anytime.

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!

How to join Gaming Knights; the requirements

If you are players who just started playing "Spiral Knights"; players who wants to help other players, and players who simply wants to have fun, 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.

But our guild has a few specific requirements, otherwise known as the "Five Codes of Conduct":

• You must be active at most times.

• You must be friendly to our guildies, and other players as well.

• You must be willing to support and contribute your wealth and suggestions for the guild.

• You must be willing to abide to the rules and regulations, including the "Five Codes of Conduct" as stated.

• Um... There is no "Fifth Code of Conduct". XP

Guild Ranking system

Like most of the common guilds in "Spiral Knights", our guild has a ranking system for guildies to follow. Here is the rundown of each guild ranks...

If you wish to be promoted and you feel you deserve a new title, we will take into consideration your merits and act accordingly. After that we will let you know our decision ASAP!

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 Farming, 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, Farming, Loyalty and Gaming. I will explain each value in details...

• Farming - 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, glitches and cheats, allowing one to possess unfair advantages. Therefore, we should always be valiant and righteous knights, because cheating could 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 the smaller benefits 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 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.
