Difference between revisions of "Of Draco Dusk (Guild)"

• To become a recruit, an individual must run one of the boss missions (Snarbolax, Jelly King, Roarmulus Twins, or Vanaduke) with at least one member of the Penumbra Officers' ring (or higher order). Test runs are held formally on Wednesdays by Novaster, but Officers may test at any time. Guild personnel will observe the potential recruit's behavior, and report to the Guild Master. If the individual seems to have <Of Draco Dusk> potential, they will become a recruit. Please, only one potential recruit at a time should be tested, in order to be properly observed.

• To become a member, a recruit must show consistently polite, nice behavior. This rank-up may take some time, and is proposed to the Guild Master by members of the Penumbra Ring or higher. Depositing 5,000 crowns to the Guild Vault (see Vault rules) will express high interest in the guild, and will rank a recruit up to member.

• To become a veteran, a member must help a novice (the novice does not have to be in the guild) in some way. A "novice" is anyone who's in-game rank is lower than yours. This includes helping with a mission, crafting armor, or taking a personal apprentice. Veteran status is proposed to the Guild Master by members of the Umbra Ring.

• To be in the Midnight Veterans' Circle, an individual must be an exceptional player, be vanguard, and have been in the guild for quite some time. Members are proposed by the Umbra Ring members, and decided by the Guild Master.

• To be an Instructor, an individual must be have an apprentice. Please note that all guildies of veteran guild status and above can be in this group, as long as they are at least of Defender Elite rank in-game. Approval by the Guild Master is mandatory, as this action is very important and sensitive.

• To be in the Shadow Circle, an individual must have completed a Shadow Lair.

• To be a Crimson Hammer, an individual must have completed all tiers of Operation Crimson Hammer.

• The Officers' Rings are closed once filled. The Guild Master will choose the guild's Umbra Ring, and the guild's Penumbra Ring will be decided by the Guild Master, Umbra Ring, and Devil's Advocate. Officers are veterans who show the utmost patience, kindness, and honor. Officers are expected to be permanent members. There are a total of 7 officers, with Devil's Advocate being the hidden 1st position, and the remaining six as active Keepers of Order.

~~Every member of any rank is required to maintain the expectations of their rank, and every rank below their own.~~

Guild Master: Novaster will try to provide general transmuting materials, be available for advice and missions whenever possible on Fridays, be the deciding word for guild issues, maintain the raffle and vault savings, and approve rank ups.

Devil's Advocate: Corrider will contribute an opinion for the most sensitive of guild issues.

Officers are expected to be: very active (with the exception of Corrider, as we occasionally need an unbiased opinion), show patience, be a permanent member, show exemplary gaming skill, be a veteran (to prove mission availability and sufficient gaming skill to help with missions.)

PLEASE NOTE that both officer rings are of equal status. They are named according to their general duties (penumbra is closer to "lighter" recruit issues). The officer rings serve as the left and right claws of the Guild. There are always three officers per ring, and officers can request to have their position moved from one to the other if a swap wants to be made. Main differences: umbra ring has decision control over Midnight proposals, while Penumbra Ring has control over Teacher Titles and lower rank proposals. In this sense, the umbra ring is less active, but has more important decisions to make - so an officer can choose their burdens.

Umbra Officer's Ring: takes care of guild issues, proposes rank ups (all except teacher), proposes removals, unanimous opinion will call Penumbra Ring to an issue the Guild Master disagrees with. In this instance, the issue has become a "Major Issue, Folks", and requires unanimous opinions of both the Umbra and Penumbra Rings to override the Guild Master's decision.

Penumbra Ring: takes care of guild issues, propose rank ups for (recruits --> members) and (members --> veterans), proposes Teacher Titles, must be on duty for possible Major Issues.

Midnight Veterans' Circle: To be accepted into the Midnight Veterans' Circle, a veteran must: be "teacher qualified" and/or an Instructor, have Veteran Status, be vanguard, have unanimous Umbra Ring support, and have Guild Master approval. Being in this circle is a special position, and opinions are taken into serious consideration by Officers and Guild Masters. Midnight Veterans are expected to be permanent members.

Crimson Hammers: have completed all tiers of Operation Crimson Hammer.

Member: attempts to help recruits

Recruits: polite conversation, patience, decent "active player" status, patience, did we mention patience?

• Students (anyone not a Teacher, or even Teachers, because we all learn all the time): check the list of Teachers to know whom you can ask questions about the game, and get precise, correct answers!

• I am no master at wiki editing. I go around random pages looking for neat codes, and stick it in here if I like it. If you find a code you worked hard on, such as a header or an image container, etc., and wish for it to be removed from this guild page, message Novaster and I will remove it promptly.

• Border style: code found on the guild page of <In Heaven>.

• Just saying, I found Echo of Silence's guild logo, that some good art there, thought that deserved some acknowledgement, go check it out guys.
