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 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.
Outreach!!!
Hey guys, for those of you who just stumbled upon this page or someone referred you to it, you found the right place XD. 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

The History of the Guild
Well, I suggest if your 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 the 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.
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. 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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! :D
- 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).
This is a serious topic, so please, kindly abide to the rules and regulations below...
- If you have been inactive for a prolonged period of time, you WILL be demoted/removed from the guild, provided that you give us the reason for your absence. If you are demoted/expelled from the guild, you will receive a mail regarding your absence.
- If you are going to be inactive for a certain period of time, please inform either Gamer-Troopa or any Officers, and state your reasons of absence. You may also notify either Gamer-Troopa or any Officers via mail.
- Officers: if you happen to know the reasons of absence from the inactive person, please report to me (Gamer-Troopa) and state his/her reasons for his/her absence, before I resort to kicking.
- 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, provided that you specified your reason.
- If you left the guild/get removed 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.
- Crown Treasurers (Gamer-Troopa, Cool-Night): Please remember to deposit crowns into the Treasury before the upkeep's deadline is met.

We are changing the Attendance Check and other guild events from the first of the every month to the first week of every month.

Most of the words on the list will be made by me but if you have a word you like to use (preferable a fake one) then just tell me in-game or on Steam and I'll put it in along with your name. (Jonbottron)
- laggy (adj.) - Used to describe a knight whose Internet connection is not so great and this lack of Internet manifests in the game.
