Lionheart (Guild)
From SpiralKnights
| ||||||||||
| ||||||||||
Lionheart was founded by St-Leone and Mawashimono as a guild that welcomes both long-time players and newer members with at least Tier 2 access to the Spiral Knights community.
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. It is not our goal to be the most skilled guild; however, we would like to be known as one of the most helpful. Accordingly we emphasize the social aspect of the game as much as the actual PvE and PvP aspects.
Our goal is for our guild to be a place where you can grow both in your skills and 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.
If you are interested in joining the Lionheart guild, please go to our website (http://www.lionheart-sk.com/) to register and post on the Application Thread in the Spiral Knights section or send an in-game mail to Mawashimono. Applicants will receive a guild invite from one of our Guild Masters within a few days.
Check out our Guild Hall any time.
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. If you feel that you need some help, contact a GM for assistance.
3. “Neither a beggar nor a borrower be” to paraphrase Shakespeare. This is true not just for crowns or energy, but also for help in completing a mission. Your Guild Masters, St-Leone and Mawashimono, frequently do tier 2 boss runs (Jelly King and Roarmulous Twins), as well as the occasional Snarbolax run or venture into the Firestorm Citadel for a showdown with Lord Vanaduke himself. We would be happy to carry along one or two less-abled players. However, we are rarely willing to join you for some random mission or come into the Clockworks to revive you, so please don’t ask.
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.
5. Guild chat and the the Lionheart website are not marketplaces. While it's alright to mention something that you want to buy or sell, please do not spam guild chat with buy or sell offers.
6. Remain active. We generally remove any players who have been inactive for more than 10 days. If you plan on being absent longer than that, please notify Mawashimono in advance.
Guild Hall Guidelines
Personal Rooms:
1) If you would like to have a room with your name on it in the guild hall, you can do this by sharing the cost of the upkeep. We are currently requiring a weekly deposit of 5,000 crowns per week for the privilege of sharing a room with 3 other players.
2) You must buy whatever furnishings you want to put in your room. No Stealing from other rooms.
Expansion: St-Leone is the only one authorized to expand or purchase rooms. Please discuss with him any ideas about expansion.
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 strangers.
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. Please try to donate the mats you used at a future time.
Mist Wells: These look much prettier when they are glowing blue with mist in them, and we want to keep them that way at all times. Until SK fixes the broken anyone-can-use-any-amount mechanics, only can use the mist wells since they can temporarily move furniture to allow access and then return the blocking furniture to its original position. You must first deposit at least 500 Crystal Energy which will allow you to withdraw up to 600 Mist Energy. You must self-monitor how much you are using. Any Officer who obviously abuses the mist well will be demoted to member and banned from further usage.
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 enjoyment 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 – You will be a Member for another week. We desire that our members have registered on the guild website and demonstrated a familiarity with our Guildlines. After 2 weeks in the guild, you will be eligible for promotion to Veteran.
Veteran – In order to qualify for promotion to Veteran, you must have a good mix of 4* and 5* gear and the skills to match it. Basically, a vet should have 4-5* gear and be able to lead a party of through a Tier 2 boss mission without dying. A Guild Master or Officer will do a run with you if it is your desire to showcase your abilities for a Veteran position. Feel free to contact one of us if it is your desire to do so. Please remember, we will continue to value your presence and friendship just as much if you remain at the Member rank.
Officer - Veterans who have been in the guild for a minimum of one month 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 possible 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, and will depend on the combined discretion and wisdom of the GMs and other Officers.
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 its founders. 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 ~ Although this guild was founded and somewhat named after St-Leone, 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.
