About Us

Founded in late May, 2013, Elfen Lied was created by Hemad, Ligiters, and Araliaggtwo, who hoped to create a fun, vibrant new guild with friendly and helpful players while also ensuring a nurturing environment was created to help new players. Our guild is always hoping to grow and find more ways to involve ourselves in the Spiral Knights community, and we'd love to start hosting events with other guilds in the near future.

Join

To join <Elfen Lied>, we recommend contacting the officers Grinchin and Tintilito, although you can contact any of our officers or guild masters. Players wishing to join may be subject to an interview and/or inspect of your gear, but don't worry; passing isn't that hard. There are no rank or gear level qualifications to meet, and we're just checking to make sure that this guild is right for you.

General Guild Rules and Regulations

Created by the Guild Masters of Elfen Lied, our list of rules is always a malleable and ever-changing set of rules. If we ever find that we need to create a new rule or even remove one, this section will be changed according to their decisions. Make sure to check in once in a while to refresh your self on these! (For rules regarding changes to the guild hall, promotion and demotion, and other ranked powers, see the Rules for Ranked Guild Members section.)

• Please, no begging for money, materials, and/or crystal energy! All of these can be earned with hard work and help from friends. If you ever need help, just ask! We're always happy to help other guild members in need. Continuing to beg can result in demotion or even removal from the guild. Please heed our warnings and don't beg!

• Vending inside our guild hall or within our guild chat is not appreciated. We consider asking to buy/sell items to be spam when done repeatedly or more than necessary. If you wish to sell equipment, materials, crystal energy, etc., please go to the auction house and buy/sell there. Personal transactions between members is fine, but yelling out, WTS/WTB -item name here-! is frowned upon. Continuous vending will most likely result in demotion, and, in most circumstances, members will consider you to be an annoyance. So don't do it!

• All members are required to speak and understand English well enough to interact with those around them, in order to make communication easier. Communicating in another language besides English can be fun, but it can complicate things and make it harder for other guild members to understand what is going on.

• Excessive language is not permitted as it creates a crude environment for all of our other guild members. Language is permitted, as we cannot control the way you speak, but we still ask that you limit yourself if you have a habit of over-using foul language. A warning will be issued if we find that you are using more language than is necessary. If you continue to use a larger-than-needed amount of language we may:

• Ask you to stop.
• Ask you to turn on the 'Comicify' setting in the settings menu.

Or

• Demote you.

• Show respect to the other guild members! Although we encourage all of the members of Elfen Lied to be nice to all players, it is crucial that players are friendly to others and know what's appropriate and what's not. If any member has been having an issue with another, we encourage them to contact one of the Guild Masters in order to address this issue. We'd hate to have a member leave because of the behavioral issues of other players. Consequences for any issues involving this category (trust me, you don't want to read all of them) can vary depending on the severity of the situation. They can range from verbal warnings to demotion to immediate removal from the guild.

• Don't beg for promotion. Ever. When we feel like the time is right, we will promote you. Don't think that we've forgotten you. We assure you that any member who stays with the guild long enough, contributes their time to it, and interacts with others in a positive way will eventually become an Officer if they try. Begging for promotion is almost strictly forbidden. Only Officers and Guild Masters can promote people, and are only allowed to do so with approval from other ranks, depending on the circumstances. If you try to bribe, beg, spam, or blackmail any Officer or Guild Master to promote you, you will immediately be warned or demoted, and in extreme cases, removed.

Rules for Ranked Guild Members

This second section of rules is created for rules regarding the abilities granted to Veterans, Officers, and Guild Masters within Elfen Lied.

Veterans

• Changing the MOTD (Message of the Day):
  • Due to experiences with MOTD spam in past guilds, changing the MOTD is usually done by a Guild Master. Veterans are not encouraged to change the MOTD. Changing it once is fine, but repeatedly spamming it or changing an important message isn't.
• Entering Design Mode and changing the look of the Guild Hall by publishing it:
  • On occasion, our guild will have groups of people in design mode, changing the looks of our Guild Hall. We encourage Veterans to join in the remodeling of our Guild Hall, and we love more company! Entering Design Mode with at least one Officer or Guild Master present is approved, but entering it alone and changing the Guild Hall without permission is out of the question. If you are in a small group while in Design mode, tampering with already finished rooms and publishing without approval is not appreciated.

Officers

• Changing the MOTD (Message of the Day):
  • As an officer, you are allowed to change the MOTD occasionally, as long as you don't spam it. MOTDs that are derogatory or use foul language are not allowed, under any circumstances. Spamming is also intolerable, as stated in the Veterans section.
• Entering Design Mode and changing the look of the Guild Hall by publishing it:
  • As our guild expands, we will allow Officers to have their own room that they can choose to share with one other person (they must agree to share, of course). The officer is in charge of raising the funds with their roommate for any furniture they wish to have. They may also change their room whenever they wish, and are authorized to by furniture with the money they have deposited in the treasury. We do not encourage you to install doors onto your room, and your room = your responsibility. If we find out that you are using the a large chunk of the guild's money (and not you and your roommate's) to buy furniture for your room, you will be warned. We support Officers having rooms and will allow a portion of our funds to be used, but frivolous spending is discouraged.

Section is under construction.

Alliances

Elfen Lied is proud to say we are allies with Hydra (Guild) Because the guild masters of Elfen Lied met within the ranks of <Hydra>, we consider them to be like family. Hydra members are always welcome to visit us in our guild hall or join us in our missions in the Clockworks!

Legends and Lore

The Disappearing Chair

At the time when our guild was filled with only a dozen or so members, we earned and put enough crowns in the treasury to buy ourselves a piece of furniture! We decided to buy a Blue Chair, and use it to decorate the Guild Hall. Hemad placed it smack dab in the middle of the floor, inducing one of those 'Lol wth are you doing?!' moments, and then published the Guild Hall. It used to face forward, until Araliaggtwo turned it around (being a troll ftw). From that day on it has stayed in its place, no matter what. After deciding to buy an Alchemy room, the three Guild Masters entered Design Mode, only to find the chair had disappeared, even after they saw that their Furnishings tab said there was 1/1 Blue Chairs. The Guild Masters ignored the weirdish issue that they saw, and published the Guild Hall. Once the guild mebers realized the chair was gone, they grew upset. "WHERE IS THE CHAIR?!" they asked, and when the Guild Masters finally bought a new one to take its place, everything was fixed. Hemad, who claimed that he was 'the smartest one here,' finally concluded that the chair had 'walked away and disappeared.' No one has seen the chair to this day.

The Derpbot

Derp goes the Derpbot.

Member List

This list is updated about every week and is used to keep track of members. If any alternates are in this guild, they will also be listed, but we ask that you contact us (preferably Araliaggtwo) so we can list your alternates with your main character.
