About Us
We try to follow and represent a standard. A guild should act like a true guild, a family. Members should get along with each other, and if they don't, at least respect each other enough to simply put the other on ignore for the sake of the guild. A member must be willing to help another with whatever problems they may face, whether is be an issue in game or beyond.
But most importantly, a leader of a guild should be aware that they represent the guild just as much as any member. A leader cannot simply vanish without a word, a leader can't engage in petty squabbles or ever involve themself personally in a fight between guildmates, but instead moderate it in an unbiased and objective manner. And a leader must be just, mature, and fair.
The greatest quality of Guild is a simple thing that many people do not understand; that we simply act as a guild.
And that is why we are Guild.
We have no particular aim within the game, other than to simply have fun. Having gained a big name, popularity, power, or anything from our time around, has simply been a fun little bonus.
We run a little bit of everything; Clockwork runs or missions, usually FSC or RJP, but not always, are the most common. Several members still play Lockdown or Shadow Lairs now and then, although for Lockdown, we do not have much interest in competitive guild play anymore.
Often we just hang out in Haven and have some silly fun.
But basically, disregarding whatever you might have heard about us, in the end, we're simply here for fun.
History
We were originally established as a guild of friends, after a discussion of hating how most guilds had noobs, generally bad guild management, and vanishing guild leaders, sometime in February. Seems like we made a bit too many friends!
At the official release of the game, we decided to open recruitment for the public, with a rather strict filter for mature and reasonable players.
We eventually got quite a bit popularity from Magnus' videos, and his and other members' general presence around the community and forums. Some people would think because of that popularity and all, we're incredibly elitist, some even saying we're just a Magnus fanclub or something. That is quite the contrary, however; Fanboying and elitism are two of the things we dislike the most around here. We do have a lot of respect for eachother, but remember, that's something else!
Around the Lockdown era, we participated a lot on GvG in the first few weeks, usually coming out unchallenged, but not without a few "fearsome enemies". As of now, we're no longer active in Lockdown GvG, as most of us do not hold any more interest in such competitive play within such. Perhaps in future PvP modes, we'll show up again.
Some would say we have a thing with Knightmare, a rivalry, but that's just a silly assumption. We're completely fine with other guilds; Sometimes we do talk a bit about them between ourselves, but this whole "rivalry" thing that ended up happening is pretty silly overall, and no guilds are truly related to it.
We were perhaps one of the first to clear out Shadow Lairs as they were released, and craft their items. Nowadays, we do not run them as much anymore, although several of us are experienced and still enjoy running them.
On May 1st, a game called TERA Online came out and claimed many of our members, including all of the officers and both guild masters.
- Biznasty, original founder of Guild.
While Guild may have been long forgotten, and lost its days of activity, I'm here to revive my home. Guild is everything stated above, a fun, lax, and family-like guild. Me and Whimsicality would like to make it a family once more. While Guild is only small right now, we can grow with you, slowly but surely we will become a big and happy family!
What does Guild have to offer?
The guild masters
Thuq: Formerly known as Twili, he has been playing since the day of release. He joined Guild in the first month of release, and soon became an officer. Thuq is friendly, outgoing, and silly! He's also a bit too out there. But with his optimistic attitude, he is fun to be around!
Whimsicality: An enthusastic collector of shiny, useless things, Whimsicality (or just Whimsy, if you feel lazy) is flying under the wings of Guild! Whimsy started playing shortly after the Spiral Knights release on Steam, but only recently did they decide to settle down in Guild after hopping through several. As their name just isn't for show, Whimsy does things of a fanciful and playful nature. Will you receive a fist full of Ecto Drops in your mail, or confetti sprayed on you in the Clockworks? Nobody knows, not even them!
What we would like in our applicants
Our guild is just, well, a guild. So we of course need people who will MAKE it what Guild is! We look for loyalty and maturity, but also people who know how to have fun. To be blunt, we don't want people who are annoying and full of themselves. We want people who are respectful and can be social and active.
Rules of Guild
Be respectful of others
Don't be a bully, nobody likes one.
Your typing and grammar can be laid back, but it needs to be at least readable. Excessive "u"'s and "r"'s can be annoying.
Drama doesn't work with our guild.
Other rules may apply that aren't listed here!
Application form
Now that everything's out of the way, here is the application for you to scribble on! Post it here or PM me [Thuq] or Whimsicality in-game with it filled.
