Code of Conduct

~ Social ~

Everyday guidelines so that nobody ends up in a shallow grave under the shop behind Brinks.

♞ Guard Conduct ♞
Asking For Financial Support:
  • No guild member will ask another for Crystal Energy (CE), Crowns, Materials or Equipment.
  • If you need assistance, please ask in a general manner. Example: "Can someone assist me in making X?". We are happy to provide assistance, though at our own discretion.
  • Do not nag guild members to trade materials, especially after the initial 'NO' response.
Conversations & Banter:

Conversations (Guild Chat): Keep it concise and legible.

  • Please don't use the guild chat for personal One to One communication; use the Tell feature for that.

Banter (Guild Chat): Please keep the banter clean and mature.

  • Keep it concise - stick to the point if communicating with someone in a different location.
  • Keep it clean (this means no toilet humour).
  • Keep it legible (proper sentences, thanks).
  • DO NOT make a personal and malicious attack to cause offense to an individual or the guild. Think about it before you press ENTER.
Respect People's Boundaries:

No harassment of members. No harassment of any players. No gendered creepiness because you think someone looks like they might be a girl or a boy or a wolf or "WE COULD BE TOGETHER FOREVER!!!".

If you have a problem relating to

(1) promotions,
(2) testing,
(3) harassment, or
(4) unjust decisions,

please address the problem directly with an Officer or Guild Master.

♚ Officer Etiquette ♚
Maintaining Rapport:

Officers and above are responsible for setting the example to follow. Be respectful, approachable and objective in your dealings.

  • No Guild Master or Officer will refer to a guild member as a Noob or other demeaning name.
  • Remember to word your warnings in a neutral constructive way, rather than "Stop that now, or I will kick your worthless %@$".

- Combat -

Bellic guidelines so that nobody ends up in a shallow grave under the flagstones of the Royal Jelly Palace.

♜ Battle Orders ♜
Invites and Joining:
  • Joining a party: Please ask for an invite from a member on the deployed party.
  • Starting a party: Please don't invite everyone in the guild to join your party, please ask members if they're interested first.
  • Joining a location: Please ask before barging in on a member if they're in haven etc.
Reviving:

Please don't waste all your energy reviving yourself. It's expected that all guildies revive each other in combat, before the use of energy to revive. We will often set guidelines depending on the Tier and Shadow Lair.

Soloing:

Before you solo, please ensure that there are no guild parties deployed or deploying that are within your Tier. We are a team and we will always support each other.

Heat:

Please ask at the end or beginning of a mission for heat, we don't want to play 'revive' in the middle of a mission.

AFK or BRB:

Die or leave battle so the team can move forward. You're always welcome to kick the GM JinnDukken if he is idle, since his GF will suddenly force him to do random requests that take his attention away.
