Before I get into detail about what the guild expects from any new applicant, I want to give everyone a brief insight on the guild's history.

Kage no Senshi was created by a player called Khatake, quickly the Guild gained strong and active Members after its creation with the help of its Officers at that time. After a solid two week run with the Members and Officers the Guild had, the Guild suffered a tragic hit dealt by one of its Officers. One Officer removed all the members and other Officers below him then left the Guild for no obvious reason. Devastated the Guild master and one officer was all that remained. Eventually that remaining Officer left the Guild as well due to the incident. With only the Founder remaining a pain-staking task of rebuilding a foundation began. One by one members were recruited and slowly the Guild rebuilt some of its former activity. Past Members were re-invited to the Guild but only a small fraction came back, trust was now an issue in our Guild.
With almost all old Members out of the Guild, Khatake's job only became harder but after a while he found himself with a bunch of new faces. None of these members were granted an Officer's title because of the security risks it entailed to the Guild. Khatake convinced his close friend to join the game, after a while she became known as the walking arsenal and was head Officer for a short time. Later on another friend joined and became on of the most skilled gunners in the game and ironically naming his character similarly to the Guild he was made an officer in respect to his skill with a gun. Both later on due to an unfortunate incident changed paths and took their leave, their presence is still duely missed by some of the current members and they will not be forgotten. Our current Officers consists of Wrock, Vinrules and Megahertz. Wrock was added to the officer's line-up due to his unquestionable loyalty to the guild and later became Head Officer in replacement and second in command of the Guild, his main attribute being his attitude towards all Guild Members being friendly and helpful. Vinrules was later promoted to Officer for the very same reasons along with his exceptional handling with bombs and guns. Then finally long overdue, Plebbyy was promoted to a position that seems to have been calling her name for far too long, after some time in the position Plebbyy grew even greater and eventually handed in her title as guild officer as she currently draws nearer to her SK retirement for good. we welcomed to our officer ranks Megahertz, Abknight and Amaki all heart-warming and seasoned player who was voted by several fellow Guild members. Soon after all of which have proven to be great assets to the guild. Kage no Senshi now boasts of a wide range of players from across the globe who are not only active but provide the Guild with the amusement and warmheartedness to which we all seek in our Guild.

With that noted, we expect some form of loyalty from our members.

Kage no Senshi means literally, Shadow Soldier/warrior or Soldier/warrior of the Shadows. Some or most people notice that our guild name sounds very much like an anime of sort. Well that is simply because aside from myself almost all the guild members are anime fans. The name also gives essence to our being. Like a true warrior raising arms to protect our friends in the depths of Spiral Knights, we move as shadows in the darkest of night (Invisible XD). Basically getting the job done before you see what happened.

With our farming, the guild farms every boss currently available in the game. We aren't solely an active FSC guild but we try to always have a member playing against one of the four bosses.

~Ranking & Recruitment~

To join our guild previously you had to be minimum 4 stars (with one 5 star item). However we decided to expand a bit and allow players of any star to join. We have absolutely no problem allowing new players to join our guild. At one point we were all new and eager to learn the ropes.

Activity is what makes or breaks a guild. If you are not active sadly our officers will have to remove you from the guild. Inactivity basically means nine (9) days or more with no logins, without prior notice to an officer or higher of the inactivity we will have no choice but to remove. This is normally the fine print however we have no reason to keep you away from the light, even if we are shadows.

Answering these questions Send an in game mail to the Officer in charge of recruitment at the in game name, Khatake.

Terms of Acceptance for promotion:

-Must have reasonable explanation for leaving of past guild (if any). We don't just care about your loyalty to us, we care about your loyalty in general!

Ranking has changed a lot recently.

Recruits - T1 and New T2 players (No expectations here, give us raw clay and somehow we'll mold the best possible players)
Members - T2 and new T3 players (capable of fighting Vanaduke)
Veterans - T3 and T3 solo players (Capable of helping others reach the core)
(Promotion based on skill level and activity more than actual gear, however having the right gear for your style will be an asset)

(Activity to us means 1 - 2 hours of active gameplay per day)

Rules
-By no means should anyone ever disrespect any member of the guild, if it does happen do not reply with more disrespect towards the person. Simply ask them to apologize.

-Never, yes we mean never, should you invite someone to a party without their permission for the sole cause of reviving you. If you are dead, you may ask, never beg.

-Adult language is allowed in the guild chat, as stated earlier this is an adult's guild. As adults playing this game we tend to be childish at times and so the conversations seem immature. However abuse of the privilege is not allowed, swearing in every line that you may type is by far too much. Raging at everything that happens using swear words is not allowed as well.

-If you are under 13 years of age you will be removed from the guild. Your skill, gear, CE, nothing will save you from this ultimate fact.Remember this is a game, take things too seriously and everything goes wrong. Have fun!

Take care and have a good time playing the game that will eventually cause us to cross paths, and remember, fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance.
