Idea taken from www.atomicwarrior.com, and revised to my standards.
Before you consider joining the guild, please consider the following:
1. How much are you willing to give back to the clan?
a. You all need to understand that you should be able too give back to the guild. You will need to contribute to the guild in some way, be it through recruiting other members, taking charge and organizing events, helping other guild members with quests or raids, organizing Raids, or just being in helpful in general. A guild doesnt need too consist of al high level self centered jerks, and if you dont care about the guildenough to help out, you arent wanted here. The point of a guild isnt a loose affiliation of players, its a team of players with a common goal or cause, or who just want to play together and have fun.
2. Level and Items Dont Count if you're a Prick
a. We dont care if you're a high level or strong character. If you give back to the Guild and the community and help out, and if you just have fun with it, you're every bit as welcome as that guy with the level 60 character, who doesnt contribute. To me, you're a lot more welcome than him. A game is ment for fun. Its not ment for you to show off some strength or flex your e-muscles too those who are weaker. We already have good members in the guild, and that means that you can learn from them and grow by being in the guild, and there is no better thing than that.
3. Arrogant, egotistical players will not be needed or wanted.
a. You joined the guild to have fun and game together with people with common views and goals, or you joined the clan to just game with some fun people. Whatever your reasons that doesnt justify being a stuck up arrogant prick. I will not tolerate you giving shit to the less talented members and i will not care about your self proclaimed godliness at this game. You act like a prick, you will be treated like one, and dealt with accordingly. I do not promote members based on skill or even evaluate members based on skill. I evalute on willingness to learn, and how much they help with the clan. I cannot and willnot do everything myself, and there will never be... one leader. That causes problems; when there is one leader it goes to his head and causes problems.
4. You will not use your rank as a weapon
a. I dont want people being dicks just because they are a higher rank. Do they have authority? Yes. Do they need to flaunt it and be pricks? No. Any corrupt member WILL be demoted. A clan always fails because someone uses their rank to their advantages and not to the clans. You're given ranks because of you deserve it. Act accordingly and mature. If you're wrong about something, then admit it. I will respect (and possibly even promote) you more if you are able to admit your wrongs and not let your pride get in the way of opperating.
5. Do not recruit trouble makers
a. When you recruit players who just cause trouble and start shit it ruins the clan. It pisses members off, and defeats the purpose of having a clan: to have fun. I dont care HOW good they are, i dont want pricks in this clan.
6. Dont be a hot head.
a. Dont do shit out of a spuradic decision based on emotions. Dont go posting something on the message boards that you'll regret or if you see something that really pisses you off, think about it before you post. Let yourself cool down. That goes for everyone. A small fight or feud turns to a big fight, a big fight turns to an all out war. A war destroys the clan. If you have a beef settle it in the games, not in a verbal arguement.
7. Clan Hoppers are not allowed.
a. If someone quits the clan, they can NOT rejoin. It takes all the Council members to let someone back in the clan. It takes all Council members to kick someone out of the clan.
8. Do NOT let just anyone in!
a. You should give interviews to new guys, and give TRY OUTS before making someone a member. Make getting into the clan a special time that is valued. . Get all the members together and crowbar the new guy as you swear him into your clan. Do not let a "clan-hopper" in the clan, if someone says he has been in 16 clans, you do NOT want him in the clan, he is a "clan-hopper". If someone is in another clan, they have ZERO loyalty to your clan. Telling the low-lifes "NO" or "GO AWAY", is the job of the COUNCIL Members. Be a STRONG and FAIR member and leader and everyone will respect you. (exert taken and rewritten from www.atomicwarrior.com , and has been edited accordingly.)
b. We dont want to be an easy clan to get into. We want only people loyal to the clan and the cause. All those who wish to get in will need to pass a tryout, an interview, as well as trial period to be considered... a full member. You can recruit anyone you want, but until all three of the above are done they are only a recruit; nothing more. If you see someone who is possibly a good addition to the clan, give them a tryout, save the rep, and give them a council members email, AIM, and account here. Also be sure to contact the council member to let him or her know that theres a possible recruit and give them the replay of the tryout.
