Icon-bomb.png About Us

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.

Icon-bomb.png 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.

Icon-bomb.png 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

Icon-bomb.png 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.

Note: We do understand that stickies happen by accident, often as a defense against getting stickied. However, do not take advantage of the sticky. Stickies should never be used intentionally.

  • 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.
