Guild Summary
Gaming Knights is a humble and laid-back guild made for friends of SK, and nerds of gaming. We don't have any main objectives, as we just hang out, discuss and share our gaming knowledge and opinions with each other, while having fun at the same time. Besides, we won't tolerate bad behavior or misconducts in Gaming Knights, you know. Also, we're not a competitive guild; we're not into playing PvP matches. XD
But the most important thing about our guild is learning moral values, building character from within and having fun. It doesn't matter if we're a rich or famous or not, all of us are what matters most; we're a family. (Gamer-Troopa)
How to join Gaming Knights; the requirements
If you want to join our humble guild, you may feel free to do so. 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. If you do, we'll meet up and I'll ask you a few questions and even do a run or two for us to get to know each other better. Then, I'll decide whether or not to include you into the guild.
But there are a few specific requirements:
- You must be active at most times (you can get kicked from being inactive without notice).
- You must be friendly and kind to our mates.
- You must be willing to support and contribute your wealth for our guild.
- You must be knowledgeable in Gaming.
- You must be mature in mind...
As for the Officers (including 2nd Head GM, Jonbottron), if a Knight wish to join our guild, please inform me in advance, for me to meet the Knight. (Gamer-Troopa)
Guild Ranking system

Guild Motto & Order
We have put our heads together to come up with a brand-new, 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. Why such values? We'll explain in details...
- Farming - Used to describe our hard-working attitudes, as well as humility and character in all of us.
- Loyalty - We're a family, and we should treat each other as such. Also used to describe our attachment to the guild.
- Gaming - Used to describe our main interest; Gaming.
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.
Below are some other Values that we have learned along the way:
Humility - Be humble and generous to give away smaller benefits for the greater. Sacrifice smaller benefits to gain greater ones.
The many values of the guild
Besides the Guild Motto, we also have these values that you should follow:
- Security
Precautions are better than cures; be mindful of dangers and risks, and avoid perilous deaths.
- 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.
- 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; be independent in yourself.
Gaming Knights guild rules
Like other guilds, we have our own house rules guild members must follow, in order to create a friendly environment in the guild. Failure to comply with the rules will result in temporary demotion or even being kicked out of the guild, so pay attention. Here are the many topics of GK's rules:
- The MOST important rule in any game; have FUN! Never ruin/spoil the fun or be rude with your mates.
- Have respect for one another; show them respect through kindness and polite-ness.
- During Arcade/Mission runs with other guildies/Knights, be aware on what weapon you're using; as some weapons aren't party-friendly. Weapons with powerful knockbacks are also considered non party-friendly (Nitronome/Blue Screen of Death/BSoD, Polaris/Trollaris, etc.), unless said weapons are used in a good way.
- Whenever anyone dies during the run, please help them up with Health Revives instead of Energy Revives; we're trying to conserve and make good use of our energy (mist/CE) as efficient as possible! Also, for dead guildies/Knights, please wait for others to help you up instead.
- Don't be shy to share your inventory items; they would appreciate it and you will be rewarded later in return!
- Don't be a Drama Queen and beg; Simply ASK and we'll provide you what you need. However if it's begging for higher positions in the guild, don't even think about it. T^T If you just ask without begging for the promotion and you and the GMs believe you deserve it, we will consider promoting you.
- If you want to borrow stuffs from us, Just ask and we'll let you borrow our stuffs, as long as you remember to return them afterwards (A way I recommend so you can remember to repay something to someone is to send them a letter titled, "I owe you...(what you owe them)". Also tell them to reply and for at least 30 days you will have a little reminder just in case you forget :3).
- If you're inactive for too long, you WILL be removed from the guild without notice, provided that you give us the reason for your absence (before you get kicked). Please report to either me or my Officers and state your reason of absence. If you do, I'll suspend your inactivity until you return online in SK.
- As for the Officers, please report to me and state his/her reasons for his/her absence.
- If you don't feel like staying in the guild, want to join other guilds instead or make another guild of your own, it's fine, as long as you provide us your reason. If you do, we'll allow you to come back into the guild anytime you wish.
- If you left the guild by accident, it's okay, people can make mistakes. ^^
- For those who wants to have their own rooms (even Officers... T^T), simply look for me (Gamer-Troopa) and I'll arrange a Dormitory for you to reside in. Since it's a Dormitory, you have to share the same room with other members, who also wants to have their own.
- A dormitory only holds up to 4 members per room (4 beds for 4 members), so I'll arrange more dormitories when one of them is full.
- The Guild Hall also includes an Alchemy Room , which allows you to craft items and purchase select goods such as recipes and usables from the General Goods merchant, so please use it to your heart's content.
- Guildies of GK are required to deposit 10% of their crowns earned in a farming run into the Treasury in order to pay the weekly upkeeps.
- For Crown Treasurers: Please remember to collect our guildies' crowns and deposit them into the Treasury before the upkeep's deadline is met.
Event Week!
There has been some changes made to the order of events at the beginning of the month. We are changing the Attendance Check and other guild events from the first of the every month to the first week of every month. It will be referred to as, Event Week (If anyone has any better names please let us know).
- During Monday of "Event Week", we will have our first set of events called "Guild Meetings", whereby we cover the important issues of Gaming Knights. So far, the first set consist of 2 events, "Monthly Meeting" and "Guild Monthly Check".
- During Tuesday to Thursday of "Event Week", we will have our second set of events called "Guild Missions", whereby guildies can play guild events hosted by higher-ranked guildies. So far, the second set consist of 3 events, "Babysitting Mishap", "Mining our own business" and "Metallic Heist in the Palace".
- During Friday of "Event Week", we will have our last set of events called "Misc. Events". So far, we have 1 event, which is "ACHF (Anything could happen friday) Talk Show".
- If you do not own one of the requirements in the boxes below and you cannot obtain them within the time for the event, we will allow you to wear armor or helms that resemble or are equal in stats in place of the required items. This will not be a reoccurring thing so please gather the requirements as soon as possible!
We will also try to have the Attendance Check throughout this week so if you can't be on during Monday and Tuesday you will still be checked of as being active. However the main days we will have it are Monday and Tuesday. If you are not familiar with these events, please refer to the boxes below. Also if anyone has any ideas on guild events please refer to either Head GM, Gamer-Troopa; 2nd Head GM, Jonbottron or Head Officer, Cool-Knight.
Sadly, some people can't be on during this time so if you can't let Head Officers or GMs know and we will arrange for you a small Event Week for you, it will be purposed to be just for you but if others can't be on during regular Event Week or you just want to join for more fun you may join as well! We can't leave anybody behind so expect Event Week to come to everybody!
We have decided that there will be 2 times for you to do an event a day, Once with GM Gamer-Troopa and once with GM Jonbottron. There is no set time that we start a certain event, as long as there's 3 people that want to do it, we will start. If you do not make it in time for the signing up period, sorry better luck next time, the only other time you will be able to do an event not on the event day is on ACHF (Anything could happen Friday).
We try to make Event Week a fun and festive time for everyone in the guild and in the community so be excited when the first of the month comes! :D

"Recently, we have overheard that the Guild Master (Gamer-Troopa) adores the Snarbolax very much, to the point that he frequently revisits the Gloaming Wildwoods just to see "Snarby", as he affectionately refers to.
