Hail knights!
If you are a Christian looking for a guild this is the place for you!
Who we are: A small (but growing) close-knit group of fun-loving knights. Within our ranks are knights of all play-styles, ranks, and skill levels. We are a guild based around the people, not skill, gear, or wealth. Though the guild started with Spiral Knights, we play a variety of games on Steam, have our own Steam group, and have Knights living on at least five continents.
Our purpose: Thinslayer formed this guild as a way for Christians to enjoy the Spiral Knights experience with other Christians. Our goal is to have fun while lighting up the clockworks, Haven, and the Coliseum with the truth of the Gospel and the love of Jesus. Those seeking a Christian guild where we actually talk about Christian things have come to the right place.

Warning!
Those looking for a quiet guild without controversy are better-off elsewhere. The very name of Christ brings a sword wherever it goes, and when you join this guild, you are signing up to have your name associated with Christ. It is not uncommon to find conflict just by wearing our name above your knight's name. We have all experianced such conflict. If you are willing to take the risk and associate yourself with God almighty, we're here for you.
So what do you say? Will you show the world you're not ashamed to be called Christian? If you are willing, please read on.

Now that you have taken the risk, here are some specifics about us:
What we do: You may find us smashing our way through the clockworks, capturing control points in lockdown, or just talking in our cozy Guild Hall or Haven. We do pretty much whatever the knights who are online want to do.
What kind of members we’re looking for: We want knights who are…
-Real Christians
-Active (This means that members must log on at least once a week for at least an hour per week of play. More is better.)
We want knights who will…
-Participate in guild events in addition to being active. Having an event with no participation is not fun.
-Be respectful of others, the guild rules, and the ToS (terms of service).
-Be friendly to those who are part of this fine guild. Make them feel at home and greet them when they log on.
-Be social. Unfortunately, this game can become dull without people who spice things up. Talk to your guildmates, invite them on your adventures and join them on theirs (ask first of course).
-Be willing to help the guild grow and flourish through keeping our reputation strong, donation, participation, and feedback/suggestions. Any suggestion as to how to improve the guild or just have more/ different fun will be looked at and responded to.
Additional information:
We have a policy of a 10% tax to improve and expand the guildhall. The normal giving day is Wednesday every week. If Wednesdays don’t work for you, just make sure to make it happen.
How to join: Either fill out the following information in a post below or through in-game mail to Thinslayer or Eltrooper.
-Forum username
-Time zone
-Tier clearance
-Mission rank
-Estimated playtime (i.e., are you new?)
-Ask specifically about joining our Steam group if you are interested. The KoC does not just play Spiral Knights, but our members play a wide variety of games.
More information that is very important (moving up the ranks, event scheduling etc.) and should be read by anyone who wants to join is on the Guild Wiki Page.

Also, to all readers, please refer to post #2 (just below) which states the purpose of this thread. Please do not post anything that does not fit within the purpose of the thread.

Thread Purpose

I want to make the purpose of this particular thread most clear (I neglected to do so before and... well you'll see below what resulted).

This thread was made by myself and co-monitored by Thinslayer and I. It is here for those interested in joining the guild to tell Thin or I that they want to join, as well as ask questions about the guild and learn more about us from what others have asked.

Feel free to add feedback or suggestions to improve the guild, or put your application below.

Had this debate with Malkalack once.

We had a debate on the subject on our guild discussion page. Hexzyle put it well:

There is nothing wrong with the way Thinslayer has constructed the guild nor the page. It does not breach the Code of Conduct in any way (plus Code of Conduct only prohibits religious insults) as the statement "Claim to be a Christian, and join the guild!" is structured as a request as opposed to a discriminative comment. There is little reason a person from a different religion would even consider joining, let alone be upset at not being able to join (that is if they weren't allowed to: Nowhere is it said that the guild will reject a non-Christian who is interested in joining) a guild that is entirely Christian and talks about Christian topics when there are plenty of other guilds existing that cater to their specifics. Thinslayer is indirectly implying that he wishes to host a guild with like-minded Christians, it's never stated that he wishes to create an elitist group that turns all others aside. At any rate, it is not up to anybody else to decide whether he is being discriminating or not, because you are unaware if he hosts other guilds or engages in social interaction with people of a non-Christian alignment.

From what I seen so far, Thinslayer has been pressing his religious view quite a bit in the past. However, for the sake of not rerailling this thread, I will not hold any further grudges, debating with Thinslayer is almsot a bit like trying to tell Ken Ham or a creationist that Evolution is not a religion. It is simply impossible to convince him otherwise.

And while we are on the topic of religion, Thinslayer, will you kick or warn a guild member if he claims to be a Baptist (which is a faction within the Christian community) and demands the whole guild starts a rally in Haven to condem homosexuals and athiest?

And yet that 'guild member' is a Baptist/Christian, I am simply testing Thinslayer's true nature, I want to see which one is more important to him, the Rules or his own guild buddies. Which comes first, his own standards and belives or the game rules.

Okay, maybe rallying against gays and athiest is a bit too much, what about a person in the guild tried to convert other non christians in Haven into christians? I want to see if Thinslayer will condone preaching amongst his guildmates, or even send msisionaries to other guilds.

Strange.

"Will you kick or warn a guild member if he claims to be a Baptist (which is a faction within the Christian community) and demands the whole guild starts a rally in Haven to condemn homosexuals and atheist?"
"What about a person in the guild tried to convert other non-Christians in Haven into Christians?"

The guild wiki has the following relevant rules:

  • Abide by the ToS
  • Be civil, polite, and friendly at all times
  • Refrain from discussing unsavory or impolite subjects
  • Most importantly, be a good Christian!

I can't answer the question further without more information. Booting a player from the guild is a serious matter and shouldn't be taken lightly; I cannot boot our hypothetical player with the little information you've given me.

The cases you mentioned do not violate the game's rules.

Okay, maybe rallying against gays and atheist is a bit too much, what about a person in the guild tried to convert other non christians in Haven into christians? I want to see if Thinslayer will condone preaching amongst his guildmates, or even send missionaries to other guilds.
Goodnewsjim used to do that, and I encouraged such behavior; in fact, I did such things myself. I never thought of sending missionaries into other guilds; that's a good idea!

Spiral Knights is just a game. If my beliefs and the game's rules ever come into conflict, I'd sooner leave the game than violate my beliefs to accommodate it. God expects us to abide by human laws inasmuch as they don't require us to disobey him, and when they do require us to disobey him, we must deal with the matter lovingly.

Simply put, what if there is a fellow christian within your guild have a wildly different interpretation of what the 'God' says in the bibble? Will you resolve this difference by booting the player or reconcile with him/her? Although I doubt you will reconcil judging by the fact that you will rather quit this game then having to violate your own believes.

Goodnewsjim used to do that, and I encouraged such behavior; in fact, I did such things myself. I never thought of sending missionaries into other guilds; that's a good idea!

If there is one thing I learned from you, thin, is that sometime some people hardly ever change, and you are a living proof of that. Not only do you not keep your reiligious believes and standards to your self, you actively want others to conform to you and your 'God'. You are more dangerous than I thought, so see you around and don't even bother trying to convince me to be a christian, if you refuse to change, then don't expect me to make any compromise either.

@Midnight-Dj

Really dude, I don't wanna have to waste my time clarifying which of my statements refer to what. When I spoke of possibly quitting the game over violations of belief, I was referring to the GAME'S actions. You know, Three Rings, Spiral Knights, Game Masters, that kind of deal. When the GAME expects me to violate my beliefs, I will quit the game. The same CANNOT be said of PLAYERS who ask me to violate my beliefs.

Now then. You seem to be under the impression that my witnessing imposes on people. Let me explain why this is blathering nonsense.

I am an ordinary citizen of the United States of America. I have no authority. I have no power. When I say "repent and believe," you are totally, absolutely, and completely free to decline and say NO. I can't make you do otherwise. If I were an authority figure, like a policeman perhaps, then we'd be looking at a very different situation. An authority's word is law. When they tell you to do something, it carries legal force behind it. In order for my commands to be an IMPOSITION on you, I would have to have AUTHORITY over you within my sphere of influence.

Do I have authority over you, Midnight-Dj? Do I have authority over ANYONE? By claiming that my preaching imposes on others, you are implicitly granting me authority that I do NOT have. So when I make imperative statements, they serve ONLY in a cautionary function. They are simply warnings. You are not obliged to heed them.

That's not to say I'm not dangerous, though. Words and ideas carry power. The idea that you are a sinful person in need of a savior has the potential to totally upheave your life. The concept that there is a God out there willing and able to judge you is truly frightening, and has changed or destroyed entire civilizations in its wake.

Yes, there is danger to be had here.

But not the way you were thinking.

I've been immersed in this Massively Multiplayer Offline Role Playing Game called Real Life. I've been leveling my Pharmacy Technician Skill at Pima Medical Institute so I can get the license needed for a Job Change. Then I can start grinding for more USD so I can play my Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games some more.

Ah, that game. The game where you're practically forced to sit back and watch while others choose what you get and what you don't get, laying out some lame path for you to follow because that's what's expected out of you, out of us. What counts as the norm. Where the strong prey and oppress the weak as everyone in between serve as the tools for each group.

In case you haven't noticed, I don't like Real Life. Amidst the extreme hostility between the world's regions and general idiocy of humanity in general, I often wonder when the next apocalypse is gonna be.

Application

Hey there.

I mailed Eltrooper my application over the weekend. He said he'd send an invitation soon. I thanked him and asked if I could add him as a friend.

Since then, I have recieved guild invites that Ive accepted to check other Guilds out. I still have not recieved any Guild invites or heard back from Eltrooper.

I was looking forwards to being a part of a nice, clean, Guild community, along with fellow Christians, but now I am faced with the question: How active is this Guild?

Whoops. I must have misspelled your name... I guess I missed a "t". I sincerely apologize and have now sent you both a friend request and a guild invite. Once again, I apologize for the mistake.

As for my activity level, I am on generally for the time period of 6am-7am EST weekdays and more on weekends. I may or may not be on more than that as time goes on, but I need to keep real life as my main priority. But that is just me personally. The other members are on thoughout the day.

And I did send out an invite to Mystrian. He is just cancelling his interest I presume.

I also sent a friend request to the same name that I thought was yours...so I have sent one to you now as I mentioned before. Thank you for your follow-up. I wouldn't have realized my mistake if you hadn't.

I am glad that this forum thread has returned to its original purpose of recruitment and things relating to it.

@Mystrian: Conflict, while rare for our guild, tends to come to us when it happens. We certainly don't go out looking for it. Conflict between members is equally rare, as we are generally like-minded. What you've seen is simply Midnight-Dj's crusading against Christianity. Don't worry about it too much.

@Jack-Skellingtton: The few of us remaining in the guild after the purge are quite active. Eltrooper's name befits him - he's a real trooper. And if you need resources, I have lots of them, and I give them out freely. Don't hesitate to ask when you need something! ^_^

Galax, this is a thread for recruiting people into a guild. Seeing people arguing nonsensically (with caps, no less) rather than discussing the purpose of the guild drives potential Guild Recruits away. Please do not post arguments on these subforums; make your own instead.

@Galax (yo dawg, I heard you like me rant, so here I go...)

You CAN believe In, "The big bang theory." AND have a religion CORRECT?

Well, at least Thin has something redeeming about him, but you Galax... *sigh* what can I say, you are really hopeless and it is not because you are christian, but because you are so NAIVE. First, the Big Bang Theory does not require you to have faith to belive in, it is indicated by the scientific evidence. Simply put, like a crime scene investigation, we find the corpse of the victim, analyze the reason of death, find finger prints and DNAs in search of the killer. Finding out the origin of the universe is the same deal, we know the universe is expanding at an expanational rate, so the universe must have started somewhere, a time when everything is at a single spot and kabam... the rest is history...

Now you and some Christians might say, "LOL, you are wrong Midnight, where you there at the Big bang? No? Then God must have done it!" But I can ask the same thing too, 'where you there when god said 'let there be light' ?'. Of course, you will then say, "it is written in the bibble, it must be right!", circular reasoning my friend, it not going to work. It is like saying the book 'Tomorrow, when the war began' is written by Ellie, the girl who claimed to have written the book as supposed to John Marsden, the actual Author.

Nobody should be hated by what they believe or what gender they love

Again, that is your own personal opinion, many people in the Baptist community condemmes homosexuality, search up Westabro Baptist Church for more info on that. Not everyone in the christian community have the same account of this 'God', Universalist says that he sends Hilter and everyone to Heaven, Mormons think that they get their own planet when they die, the Catholic (technically christian, but they can choose not to be) believes that Jesus's forgiveness alone won't get you to Heaven. So, which one of you is correct? That was the original question I wanted Thinslayer to answer. However, he seems to be oblivious to that fact or just straight up ignoring my questions.

Can't WE(People In general.) learn to care about each other and get along without causing a riot?

Of course we can, but progress can only be made through changes, but as it stands, you and many other Christians like you refuse to change. I am not saying that you should burn your bibble now and start drawing pentagram to worship Satan, but atleast acknowledge the fact that Bibble is really a messed up book and it has bad things in it. And let's not forget it was written and altered by hundreds of anonymous writters, many words many have mistranslated or outright removed from Hebrew to English and other languges. Some of you may say that the old testiment doesn't count, but still the new testiment is just as bad. Cherry pick the bibble all you want, if Christian can do it, then so can I.

ps. @Thinslayer and I think you owe me a favour for keeping your recruitment thread on the top for this long and generated some publicity for you and your religion. But last but not least, I meant what I said, I don't want to discuss things like this with you any further unless you are inclinged to change.

This game has really matured me. And so has the community.

Welcome to the internet my friend, sooner or later you will have to embrace it for all of its glory and all of its terror. Change is coming, whether you like it or not, mature is compulsary, growing up however is optional.

I never said you were wrong. I wasn't there either. You really like to assume too much sometimes.

But in your eyes I was never correct either, If I said that your god doesn't exist and the whole concept of it sucks, will you actually nod your head and agree or would you defend your 'god'? I think it goes without saying that you will defend 'God' out of obligation.

In never tried to start a fight with you. I was just commenting on how I hate when others are treated badly just because they are different.

Dude why are you trying to start an argument anyway? I wasn't even ranting against you. Are you trying to pick a fight or what?

I never said that I wanted to start a fight, I simply stated that you don't need faith to know that Big Bang is real, of course, if you want to tell me that your 'God' is real, all you need to do is present me with evidence. Of course, if God wanted me to belive in him in the first place, all he needed to do is manifest. it shouldn't be hard for the almighty himself.

As for 'Changes' I mentioned, anything is fine, from getting up early in the morning, get a new hobby, anything is fine. I never said this change has to be renoucing your religion, although that might be for the best, but still, one step at a time, we can all change and before you know it, the world would have changed for the better.

Just to aid recruits, since the majority of them (who are advancing rather quickly thanks to the up-and-coming guilds everywhere) don't really know the nuances of the game even by the time they reach Vanguard. I find it better to stock them up and prepare them for what kind of game they're getting into rather than let them get last with questions like "WTS? WTB? CE? WAT".

@Midnight-Dj

As much as I'd like to tell you how absurdly erroneous you are with your over-generalizations and false presumptions of a multi-faceted community that took over 2 thousand years in the making, you are also being hypocritical with your "discussion" with Galax. Please bring this to a SEPARATE THREAD as suggested before.

Final words...

As much as I'd like to tell you how absurdly erroneous you are with your over-generalizations and false presumptions of a multi-faceted community that took over 2 thousand years in the making,

Okay, how is that possible? So you are telling me that each sect of the Christian community have their own interpretaion of 'god's words and they each have their own unique connections with God? Each one with its own different account of God's gender, intentions and even skin colour. How can that be? If this god really exist and he is generally a christian god (eg, omnipotent and omnisent), how could he have made a false connection with some of his followers in the first place? Turning them into hindu, muslims, buhddist and the various factions within the christian community? Correct me if I am wrong, failure of following (or simply refuse) the God's true word is going to result in eternal damnation right?

Well, you can pray to Jesus for forgiveness, that is what he is here for.

Okay, but what if he turned out to be the false prophet, and say Muhammand is the real deal. Wouldn't all the christians and every non-Muslims be doomed?

--Final Words--

Now before you call me out for grossly generalizing the monotheist community again, pelase understand that these are just facts, the fact that there are thousands of different account of 'God' throughout the human history: Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, Adun, Vishnu and Allah were just some the many interpretations and yes, they are all just human imagination at the end of the day. And even if you still deny this fact and belief that your god is real and proud of it, you will still admit the fact that many, many people on earth are either decieved or just straight up worshipping the wrong god.

If christians are right and god is real, then 55,000,000 people living on this planet are wrong. Each and single one of them will eventually burn forever in hell just like me, now ask yourself this, why would a god do something like this?

One last thing, Buddhists don't believe in any god. If you mean the Buddha, no. He was just a mortal like the rest of us who reached enlightenment through only taking the bare minimum. I don't like when people assume that's our god because "Oh, that guy's a Buddhist and worships the Buddha, Buddha must be their god." We're nontheistic, and I'd like to not be branded anything else.

EDIT: Discuss any further arguments or such here.

Are you talking about a guide to abbreviations? I could do that... I could put it on the wiki page as a drop menu.
Thanks for the suggestion.

EDIT: I put a link on the wiki page to the very succinct list of common SK abbreviations that I found elsewhere on the wiki.
Here are the pages: Guild page and Abbreviations page

Thank you.

@Sonosuke
Thanks for making that thread. It will most likely reduce the "wars" that happen here.

Also, I actually knew that about Buddhism. (Forgive me if this is a bad example...> ) Like Confucianism which is following the teachings of Confucius who is considered a wise man and never claimed to be a god or the only God; Buddhists follow the teachings of the enlightened/awakened one aka Siddhartha Gautama aka the Buddha who also never claimed to be a god or the only God.

The Christian guild would

The Christian guild would have mandated donations.

?

Our 10% donation thing is more of a suggestion than an enforcible rule.

Unless you're referring to donations outside the guild. Those are entirely optional. Loans are prohibited.

For any guild members monitoring this thread:

The guild wiki page has been and is being regularly updated by me.
On it you will find any and all pertinent information regarding the guild and being a member of it which mostly includes rules and event scheduling.
Feel free to provide feedback regarding how the guild is run and the information that is on the wiki page here or through in-game mail or personal messages.
Once again, a link to the guild wiki page is here.

The guild is truly growing now, especially in the area of activity.
If there is a time for events that would be better for you and some others, let me know so we at the guild leadership can work out another event time to make sure that people can participate even if their time zone or gaming hours do not allow them to participate in one of the currently scheduled event times.

Thanks to all of you that have posted so far, and to Thinslayer for helping me monitor the thread.
