Of Draco Dusk (Guild)

• To become a recruit, an individual must:
• ---Have read the "Core Rules" and "becoming a recruit" information on this wiki.
• ---Run a mission with an officer or the Guild Master.
• ---Answer a series of questions asked by the Guild Master or an Officer.
• ---Be patient, be understanding, and have a general good vibe.

• To become a member, a recruit must:
• ---Be in the guild at least 14 days.
• ---Show consistently polite, nice behavior. This includes listening skills! People are very variable, so each individual will be monitored for rank-up.
• ---Show some kind of dedication to the guild. This includes: interacting with other guildies, donating 5% mission crown rewards to the Treasury if not vanguard, donating furniture to the treasury, not threatening to leave the guild for another, ignoring other guild invites with a laugh, and so on.
• ---Special Circumstance: if a person shows extreme interest through incredible deeds and charity.
• ---This rank-up may take some time, as we need to get a very clear idea of your character.

• To become a Veteran, a member must:
• ---Help an individual of lower in-game rank (they do not have to be in the guild) with a mission they have extreme difficulty with.
• ---The person helped must tell an officer or the Guild Master which guild individual helped them, and if their experience was satisfactory.

• To become a Midnight Veteran, a Veteran must:
• ---Gone above and beyond the call of the Guild (helps out a lot, donates to vault, keeps players happy).
• ---Be Vanguard
• ---Have passed the Draco 101 Test.
• ---Have a Dragon Costume of some sort (even the 1* spiral scale set counts) to prove your love of dragons.

• The Officers' Rings
• ---Officer Ring positions are closed once filled. Officers are chosen based on their enthusiasm, responsible behavior, and activity levels during vacations. Three officers are chosen every 25 members.

• To be an Instructor an individual must:
• ---Have passed the Draco 101 Test.
• ---Have an apprentice.
• ---Have approval of the action by the Guild Master, as this activity is very important, sensitive, and easily taken advantage of.

• 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.
• ---Please note, this is just a title for bragging rights, and is not a necessary thing to achieve as it costs actual money.

• To be a Vanaduke Vanquisher, an individual must:
• ---Have defeated Lord Vanaduke in his throne room
• ---Condition: Alone with no deaths. (No mist/CE revivals).
• ---Condition: All slags must spawn for every wave.

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

Guild Master:

• ---Novaster will be the deciding word for guild issues (unless outvoted by all umbra officers), maintain the raffle and vault accounts, approve all recruits and rank-ups, and try to be available at all times.

Devil's Advocate:

• ---Corrider will contribute an opinion for the most sensitive 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 guild participant, show exemplary gaming skill, and have been a Midnight 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.

Umbra Officers' Ring: Votes on Guild Master decisions. A unanimous vote is needed to override the Guild Master's choice. (All Penumbra tasks are also handled by this ring).

Penumbra Ring: searches for new recruits, maintain a positive guild atmosphere, help out guild buddies in serious need (if mist is on hand), enforces guild rules.

Midnight Veterans' Circle:

• ---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 guild participants.

Veteran:

• ---seek to improve skill sets. (This includes making a shiver and/or blitz for easy regular vana runs!)

Member:

• ---actively try to help individuals through missions and maintain a positive attitude.

Recruits:

• ---hold polite conversation, patience, decent "active player" status, patience, did we mention patience? Patience.

Breaking the Order

• ---First offense: 5k to vault
• ---Second offense: 10k to vault, demotion (if a recruit, you are out of the guild)
• ---Third Offense: removal from guild.
• Severity varies. If a person commits a particularly dastardly deed, officers of the Umbra ring and Guild Master will vote to remove the offender, no matter the number of offenses.
• ---Breaking the order: if you are rude, annoying, constantly ask "why am I not being promoted", begging, insulting to individual(s), or try to obtain personal information from an individual(s), these are offenses. Mens Rea plays an important role here.
• ---Do not ask for promotions. Read the wiki's information on promotions, and you will understand how our system works.
• ---If an individual goes inactive for 2 months or more without announcing the reason to another guild member, they will be removed due to inactivity.
• ---Members removed due to inactivity will be mailed this message (which will likely disappear before being opened, but it is a courtesy):

Hello, You have been removed from the guild <Of Draco Dusk> for a period of unannounced inactivity of 2 months or more. You can reapply if you wish to rejoin us. Please check the wiki for up to date information.

• Try to get 3333 usables in your belt (such as poison vials, sleep vials, and so on - these drop from boxes and enemies) to get better elevator prizes.
• Try to complete a level with full health (at the very end of a mission, dropping your vitapod is an easy thing to to) for better elevator prizes.
• The elevator wheel can only give materials, money, or boxes (and possibly a thief chroma that takes a usable, but this is rare) if you are at full health with 3333 usables at the end of a level.
• Don't revive yourself unless the whole team is dead (A COUNTDOWN TIMER IS VISIBLE). Mist lets you play the game, don't waste it!
• 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!
• The Wiki is your friend! But sometimes the damage/speed bars are LIES.

• For now, we ask that 1-5% (one to five %) of the crowns earned in any mission a guildie runs be donated to the treasury. The % donated is up to the individual, and those below the rank of vanguard are not expected to give/donate large amounts, because we would rather you focus on getting the rank of vanguard.
• Quick math: on average, Vanaduke runs yield a 450 crown donation.
• Large donations are much loved! (Thanks especially to Staynoon, Sverna, Ventaile, Wolfdragoon, and Wumpulump).
• Rooms and Expansions are delicate issues. In general, we will not purchase rooms, as they cannot be moved without being destroyed. In general, we will not expand without consensus and sufficient funds, as expanding increases upkeep: and we want to have a relaxed atmosphere. A demanding upkeep causes unwanted stress! And nobody wants stress in a game.
• Furniture is an aesthetic class of items that make the hall feel more like home. Furniture is purchased with a consensus system, with more expensive items taking more guild members to want them to authenticate a purchase. Furniture is paid for by funds in the treasury. Individual pieces can be paid for by a single guildie with a deposit to the treasury equal to the cost of the desired piece and a request to an officer or guild master.

• If you take mist from the well, you must: pay back the equivalent in crowns (according to the current CE market rate), minus 10% of that value. The crowns can go to the Vault Bot (For CE conversion back to the well) or the Treasury. We prefer the bot get the crowns, to keep CE in the well. This method means you get energy for less, and the guild profits.
• Example: You are at 70 mist, and withdraw from well. 30 mist was taken from the well, you are now at 100 mist. Say the current CE rate is 8,300 crowns for 100 CE. So you would give 2241 crowns back.
• Simple Equation:------------[((Price of 100 CE on market) / 100)*the amount of energy taken from well] = A ------------ A*0.10 = B ------------ A-B = what you give for the withdrawal in crowns.
• Guild members of Veteran rank or higher have Mist Well access.
• A person who deposits 500 or more CE into the well may take from the well without giving crowns back, but only up to the amount they deposited.
• For basic mist well mechanics, read the Mist Well page on the Spiral Knights wiki.

• Materials placed in guild storage are pure donation. Guildies can take materials for free FOR SPECIAL TRANSMUTING PURPOSES ONLY. Bulk withdrawals for the purpose of selling or making multiple copies of one item are not allowed.
• 5* general materials are placed in veteran storage. Please ask nicely for five star materials.
• Rare items (such as Shadow Lair materials, Mod Cals, Enamorocks) and recipes are placed in officer storage.
• Accessories and Costumes are placed in Officer Storage, minus the hallow class.
• Recipes are bought for 100cr more than the basil sale price. Crowns from recipes go to either CE for the Mist Well or the Treasury.
• Items are bought for 100cr more than the vendor buy price.
• UVed items are bought for 500cr more than the vendor buy price. (Please keep decent UVed items for yourselves).
• Accessories are sold at a price the donor feels prudent.
• Lol usables

• Rare Items: Keep in mind these are not always available:
• 3,000 for a mod calibrator. We don't have calibrator mods.
• 10,000 for a Nightmare Mane.
• 8,000 for a Celestial Ore.
• 15,000 for Gremlonium.
• 18,000 for a Maiden's Tear.

• PM the GM for old vault data.

• As of now, the Vault is a functioning medium for the Mist Well-CE circulation.

• Do not give anyone but the character "Draco-Dusk-Vault" or "Novaster" crowns when making a deposit.

• Special thanks to Corrider for making a Gunslinger Hat for the vault's costume!

• One Ledge may be rented to guildies. This is a person's chance to arrange a personal area the way they want to!
• Ledges may be rented by anyone in the guild.
• It costs 1,000 cr to rent a Ledge.
• A person may rent a ledge only once a week, we have to share!
• Renting a ledge lasts one day.
• Furniture purchase/placement requests go to officers or the Guild Master. We will arrange what we have for that ledge, or buy what you want, if you supply crowns.

• Raffles (Held during the Summer Vacation months)
• Quotes
• Alliances
• Previous forms of the wiki are on record. For more information, contact Novaster.

• 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>.

• Rysihad of <Fabulous> gave me the idea of a basic lottery, and I put a tiered spin on it.

• 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.
