Hello, and welcome to Lightning! We care about your personality, not your gear! Whether your a Rescue Camp Recruit or a Vanaduke-slaying Vanguard, we only look at your personality! To join, fill this application out and post it.

When did you start playing Spiral Knights? (Basically starting month and year.)
How long have you been playing? (How many months exactly.)
Timezone? (Use this if your not sure of your time zone.)
Tell a little bit about yourself. (Optional)
Do you have Ventrilo? (Skip this question if you do not have a microphone.)

We are in need of a Ventrilo server!
If you can provide us a ventrilo server, we would heavily appreciate it!

Ranks, and (stupidly, codenames for them! XD)
We have codenames based on the types of lightning. No, none of these are made up. NASA made them.
Guildmaster
Codename: Elve
Elves are the runners and organizers of the guild. They keep everything in balance and organize special activities with Sprites. Only extremely close friends of Phantomhamachi, the guild founder and the one posting this, can become Elves.

Officer
Codename: Sprite
Sprites are the guild's ambassadors. They invite people who have posted on the forums and help with organizing activities with Elves. Blue Jets become Sprites when the Elves and current Sprites take a vote. If the majority is yes, then a Blue Jet will become a Sprite.

Veteran
Codename: Blue Jet
Blue Jets are the guildmates to look for when your having trouble. They can do runs with little to no deaths and easily help with any situation. To become one, you must be in the guild for 1 month. They also help organize Lockdown. (Despite me not liking it because of all the issues it has with all cheap tatics.)

Member
Codename: Lightning
Lightnings are the main members of the guild, who have passed a run test. (It's any run you want, Snarby, Royal Jelly, Roarmulus Twins or Lord Vanaduke.) They efficiently keep the guild up and running with being active.

Recruit
Codename: Short Circuit
Short Circuits are the new guys. They pass a run test to rank up to Lightnings. They efficiently keep the guild up and running with being active.

(In)Activity!
If you are inactive from the guild for a certain amount of time, you will be removed. If you were going to be away for a while, notify an Officer or Guildmaster before your time. That way, we won't remove you. If you did get removed, message a guildmaster or officer and we'll put you back in!

Times for inactivity before the kick:
Recruit(Short Circuit): 2 days
Member (Lightning): 1 week
Veteran (Blue Jet): 1 month
Officer (Sprite): 3 months
Guildmaster (Elve): 6 months

Rules
Yes, like other guilds, we have limitations on what you can and cannot do. Please abide by the rules. Failure to follow these may result in a kick or even a ban (you won't be able to get back into the guild ever), so please, follow them!
Here are the rules:
1. No asking for promotion.
2. No begging. This rule is very strict and severe.
3. No drama.
4. Not trolling.
5. No flaming.
6. No swearing.
Ventrilo Server rules (use these when we get the server):
No spamming.
No whining.
Use your "Push To Talk" key.
Don't be a hater.
No swearing, like always.

So, Enjoy and apply now!
