New and old members, please review the Guild Etiquette section. That is all. ~Pyne
Machinists
We are a close-knit guild that specializes in (but is not limited to) Blast Network. Our goal is to keep the beloved mini-game alive by creating a respectable, friendly, and encouraging environment for all players.
Guild Etiquette
As a member of the guild, you must know and abide by the rules and policies.
- The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (And as if this weren't enough, treat everyone with respect and kindness.)
- Guild Resources: Be sensible about the resources available to you. The guild storage and Mist Well are for everyone's convenience, but do not be a glutton without contributing.
- Guild Hall Upkeep: It is recommended (but not mandated) that each member contributes a minimum of (a measly) 1000 crowns per week for upkeep.
- BN Etiquette: Avoid using "sticky bombs," killing AFK players, and "feeding" other players. These are considered unfair tactics. (See Terminology section)
- Activity: Members will be removed from the guild upon reaching 1 month of inactivity. If you know you will be away from the game for an extended period of time, notify an officer so that you may be pardoned from removal.
Recruitment and Ranks
We generally have a closed recruitment policy, wherein officers invite based on their own judgment of a player's demeanor and enthusiasm for Blast Network. While we do not recruit upon request, there are exceptions to the policy to be made arbitrarily.
Promotions are also made arbitrarily and do not require the fulfillment of any specific tasks. However, here are some guidelines to follow:
- Know and abide by the guild rules and policies
- Play BN (This is a BN guild, after all)
- Be active
- Be helpful to your guildmates
Terminology
- Sticky bombs / stickies: In BN, an exploitation of a glitch in which two or more players occupy the same square and one player places a bomb, causing the other player(s) to be unable to move, or "sticking" them. Victims of sticking will only be able to move once the player who originally placed the bomb moves off of it.
- AFK (Away From Keyboard): Describes a player who is away from their computer and is unable to actively participate in the game.
- Feeding: In BN, the act of intentionally, repeatedly dying in order to increase the score of another player/team.
The Top Brass
Sparkgap
Founding father of the Machinists and all-around decent bloke. He is often found around Haven handing out his hard earned crowns to the needy noobie in an effort to clean up the streets and feed their begging faces.
Pyneapll
Self-proclaimed Professor of Demolition. Many believe that she gained her BN skills from a dark Trojan ritual involving sacred drawings, a bottle of Coke, and a half pack of Mentos, but this may just be idle speculation. What we do know is her apparent lack of lag during BN matches does seem to suggest some unknown power to be at work.
Tilybb [Retired]
Look up "Pro BN player" in the SK wiki and her picture is next to it. This scarred and grizzled warrior of the BN circuit has forgotten more about taking lives in the BN arena in an hour than most could hope to learn in a lifetime! She also constantly mumbles to herself and can't leave the guild hall without turning the lights on and off 7 times...we're not sure what that's all about.
Utmostprovocative
Unfortunately due to a navigational malfunction during her escape, Utmost's escape pod landed on a sky island populated by cannibals.
Fortunately for Utmost though, she felt right at home and perfected the art of cooking her own robotic kind. After years of trial and error as well as spice and herb hunting throughout the Clockworks, she stumbled upon the perfect manner of cooking her meal: Blast Network Bombs!
Duglet
The Professor's right-hand man! 'Nuff said...for now.
Muffinmuch
Baked in Lord Vanaduke's private kitchen, this cute widdle Muffin was cast out with the trash due to an excess of cuddliness. She now resides in the Rescue Camp, participating in raids on Firestorm Citadel. In her free time she enjoys coloring Krogmo's Coliseum with bomb blasts. Rarely known to speak in the Coliseum for reasons unknown.
Googola [Resigned]
Having conquered the BN arena of the Rising Sun, "Googorraa" has traveled through the Clockworks and arrived at the borders of Krogmo's kingdom to do the same here. With his exotic gameplay and following his samurai code, Googorraa cuts through his BN competition like a seasoned sushi chef through a freshly caught puffer fish. He sees everyone as an honorable adversary...but never shares his sake!
Quanstr
The "Samba King" of the BN arena.
Kzane
Neverlights champion
