A mysterious antique with a brilliant silver finish, these handguns are said to have been wielded by 'gunslinger priests' during a now forgotten time.
~Description of the Silversix

Originally founded by Trihelix and Kosciouszko after growing tired of the inactive guilds they were apart of and setting their sights on recruiting active players interested in running the Firestorm Citadel, the Gunslinger Priests is a guild of tier 3 players whom despite coming from all over the world, of all sorts of different playing styles and background, are united under the common cause of wanting to run through the deepest depths of the Clockworks with people whom are not only good players, but also value fun, enjoyment and the other factors that actually make people wish to play video games to begin with. As a guild we strive to achieve a balance between the skilled efficiency of top tier play and laid back silly nonsense that we enjoy, we're a guild about both bringing together skilled players and at the same time making sure that everyone has a good time and most importantly feels at home within the guild.

We've been chugging a long for not long off a year now and we've seen many great people come and go, many of whom helped shape the guild in its earlier days and will never be forgotten. However continually facing back prevents one moving forwards which brings us here, to the second official Gunslinger Priests' recruiting thread where we look to bring in fresh new faces, to the future. If you'd like to join a skilled yet fun loving guild, I highly suggest you keep reading.

How to Join

Now although long drawn out application forms are obtuse and generally obnoxious, as something that's been a part of the guild since the very beginning, thus I've tried to trim it down and make the following as simple to follow as it can posisibly be, so if you'd like to join please fill out the following and post it in the thread;

1 - What is your in-game-name?
eg. Echoez

2 - Why would you like to join the Gunslinger Priests?
eg. "I would like to join the Gunslinger Priests since I wish to be a part of a guild where people work as a team in the Clockworks, instead of the often chaotic nature of running with random people via the Arcade" You can make this as short of long as you wish, as long as it gets across a basic message.

3 - What time zone do you live in?
eg. GMT +1, GMT -8, you can clarify where you live and what your specific time zone is of course, but it's ideal that you mention what it is relative to Greenwich Mean Time

The Rules

Now, although we do consider ourselves quite a laid back guild and are quite lenient on the general silliness that goes on in runs and in the guild chat, there are a few rules you are expected to adhere to and refusal to do so with grant you swift removal from our ranks;

Maturity
Whether it be in the Clockworks, in the guild chat or in public in-game, on the forums or the wiki, we expect our members to be mature. We prize ourselves on the maturity of our members and complaints about your misconduct should they found to be true will be cracked down upon swiftly and harshly. This means keeping standards to discussion above petty insults and similarly childish behaviour, we try to maintain a friendly and respectful environment within the guild and people whom blatantly act to disrupt this will not be tolerated.

No Begging
Given that we prize ourselves on both the maturity and skill of our members, we take begging quite seriously in Gunslinger Priests. Whilst we have no issue with members giving each other stuff because they wish to, after all trust is expected within the guild; we will absolutely not tolerate repeated begging. This goes for the Clockworks as well, if you die in the depths and then proceed to angrily demand people come and revive you not only is it likely no one will help you, it's even more likely you'll quickly be removed from the guild. Understanding the difference between asking for something you want and act like a self-entitled brat to something you think you deserve goes a long way

Listen to your superiors
Ranks are there for a reason, if an Officer or a Guild Master tells you to stop doing something, you stop doing it. We try our hardest to maintain peace within the community and diffuse any arguments that occur and just generally keep things civil, and people whom can't follow the rules do nothing to aid this. If you have an issue PM a Guild Master or Officer, don't take it up on your own accord and then get angry when you end up on the receiving end of criticism as well.

Assuming you can follow these simple rules, odds are you'll fit in just fine.

Useful Resources

Gunslinger Priests Wiki Page
You'll find an extensive description about the guild and its history, a -generally- up-to-date members list, screenshot and video gallery and even a makeshift guild notice board here. It's not required to visit here, but I highly suggest you do so if you'd like to know more about the guild, or keep up-to-date with events.

Guild Notice Board - For non-Wiki Users

General News
Congratulations to both BlackHeartMachine and Vandergant on their much deserved promotion to Officers, and welcome to all our new recruits.

Weekly Shadow Runs
Given the general difficulty of trying to arrange exact times, we're implement a new 'weekly Lair' system. Essentially from 18:00 GMT onwards on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings we'll be trying to get Shadow Lair runs going. So if you're interested, log on around that time frame and say so in guild chat. It'll be dependent on whom is around and how much people are willing to contribute toward keys, but the general idea is that this will encourage people to try and arrange runs amongst themselves.

Lockdown
Since more and more people within the guild are playing Lockdown as of late, there's possibility of us trying to get together an 'official' guild Lockdown team. If you're interested in such an idea say so, and I'll see what I can do.

Videos
Although our full video gallery is located on our Wiki page, I will be adding the most recent videos here as well, so that you can check out the newest videos simply by visiting the thread!

Why would you like to join the Gunslinger Priests?
I've been lone-wolfing the first 4 depths of the FSC for a while and recently I have developed enough skill to defeat the boss solo. Though I do have a regular group of friends I do full FSC runs with, it would be nice to be a part of a guild that has the same in-game interests as I do. I love doing FSC and I love using guns. I'd also like a group of people to do shadow lairs with in the future,but that is not my highest priority right now. I think I'd make a good candidate because I have a nice collection of 5* guns and a balanced collection of 5*shields. I've received all the survivor achievements including Dauntless Delver. Most importantly, I'm a nice guy.

2 - Why would you like to join the Gunslinger Priests?
I would like a Mature, active, Tier 3 Guild that does FSC many times, other bosses, and missions. It would be great if you did SL also, I would love that. I am a 5 Star Champion with around 4,300 Prestige, played for over 9 days in total, beat Vana, Roarmulous, Jelly King, Snarby, and played for about 1 to 2 years. I am a very experienced guy who needs a good guild, in overall.

I'm just another T3 (5*) clockworks and mission runner out there looking for a fun and active guild to join since I recently started playing again. My primary gear is gunslinger, but I've been going with more hybrid loadouts lately for soloing. I would very much like to get back to the cooperative aspects that got me hooked on this game to begin with.

2 - Why would you like to join the Gunslinger Priests?
There are a lot of guilds out there, and every time I pondered joining a guild everyone would always suggest to me the largest and most popular of guilds. I don't want to join a leviathan guild, but join a guild that might help me improve my skills as a gunslinger, not to mention teach me good tactics for Vana runs. I'm still working on my 5* Hall of Heros, but I think I can also contribute a lot to the guild, as I am a great team player and have a very uber friend (monkeycyclopse) who helps walk me through the tougher missions. I'm a pure gunslinger, and as most gunslingers do, I play very evasively and rarely go down. I tend to stick to the back of parties, burn enemies with my Fiery Pepperbox, and stick it out and rev anyone the instant they fall until I can't rev anymore. My only downside is that I have little to no experience with Vana runs, and have only done a little bit of the last floor and boss in an Arcade run.

3 - What time zone do you live in?
GMT -5, Central America.

Fail Guild.

TL; DR: DON'T JOIN THIS GUILD!!!

No. Just no. I've heard of guilds like this. The moment I got on today someone named Vandergant just promoted me to officer.

Did I have "incredible contribution within the guild"? NO!

Was I "active during most days of the week"? NO!

Did I even freaking do anything to earn the esteemed rank of officer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6BL6QvKljo

This is a horrible guild. Just promoting people to officer up front? There's not even a process involved? Nobody even contacts me and says anything to me? Just a promotion to Officer?!? Guilds like this are run very poorly, and if I had stayed in the guild I doubt I would have even been in there that long before getting kicked randomly by one of the other dozen officers. Get rid of the weak links in this volatile guild or people won't be staying in it for long!

--EDIT--
I take back my previous message, and my current state on this problem has been further outlined in a later post, so please scroll down a bit to see how this was sorted out. ^u^

Please do not lie.

Please do not lie.

Your invite was sent via the Guild Options. I wasn't even online to promote you. Other members can verify this. The outlandish nature of Dragondeplanitos claims is backed up by the number of officers we have-- five total out of the entire guild. We have never made random officers, and never will.

If you wish to continue spreading slander, please provide proof of your claims (E.G. A Screenshot from the Event Hub listing proving you where promoted to Officer.)

Otherwise, I thank everyone else for their patience.

Well I'm finally back from a two week absence on holiday, as such it's time to get the train chugging again. To start with we'll be sweeping out inactive members, and then moving forward with recruiting. With this in mind I expect Officers to be online at some point today to discuss revitalizing the guild, and to bring me up to speed on anything that has occurred during my absence.

Incidentally whilst I wasn't here to witness the incident that is claimed to have taken place, I highly doubt that it occurred and unless you can provide some screenshot or video evidence of your claims, I suggest you stop spamming the thread Dragon. Any further accusations or slander made without actual evidence to back them up will be reported. With that said anyone looking to resolve guild issues, message an Officer in-game, the recruiting thread is used for recruiting and not discussions about guild topics unless you need to clarify something and there's no around to do so in-game at that particular moment.

A Mistake

Ah. I'm not trying to spread slander, I was honest to how I had remembered the situation, and I doubt I could really sully the guild's reputation by submitting a removable message on the forums. I know the first line of my previous post may make one think otherwise, but I also simply wished to notify some of the officers of the guild that there was someone who was rampantly promoting on the loose. On the other hand, I do have a horrible memory on my part and now that I remember it, you were correct in saying that there were indeed 5 Officers. I was incorrect on my part on assuming such an outrageous notion.

Unfortunately, I do not still have the message of my promotion for a screenshot. I knew something like this would turn up so I pondered keeping it, but I simply ignored my intuition and threw it away. But though my memory is poor, I have some confidence in the fact that it was Vandergant who promoted me. After I got the message I consulted a friend of mine and he suggested I try a new guild. I'm not going to try to get a new guild, or rejoin this one, but I hope you can forgive me and my poor memory. c:

Gun toting older gamer looking for a place to hang his hat.

1 - What is your in-game-name?
GulliverBFG

2 - Why would you like to join the Gunslinger Priests?
I have gone as far as I can solo, up to the doorstep of Vanaduke. I do aspire to beat him solo one of these days. I have been with parties that beat Vana, but I still rank as Champion with nearly 9000 prestige, because I stubbornly refused to ask my 5* friends to help me blow that mission away.

I have tried one guild, that recently got disbanded when the GMs fell out, and while now technically in a replacement guild, I am not satisfied with the way it is being organized. I am talking to you because you guys come across as serious, but not TOO serious. This is a game, after all.

I am looking for players whe appreciate team strategy, tactics, sharing and just plain old cooperation. Players who will slow down sometimes instead of just blow their health on a headlong charge. Some people have what it takes, most do not. I am an older gamer. Older than the Internet in fact. I have multiple sets of 5* gear, though the sets are eclectic, and I keep heating more stuff to basically form a one man armory.

I use the Valiance in just about every level, then tailor the other weapons to whatever I think will work best. I have seen some of your guild videos and was impressed by the teamwork and communication. If you can keep that up, and still chillax enough to have fun, then this is one old school gamer who would lke to at least friend some of you, and maybe find a guild home if the fit is right.

I like doing FSC runs fine, and also will chill out in anything from a T1-T3 run with any number of friends, or younger family members. And I sometimes like to escort new SK players around to show them the ropes as I understand them.

3 - What time zone do you live in?
GMT -7, which is USA Mountain Standard Time. I play almost every day. You can find me in the game at different times of day or night, depending on my flexible work schedule. Most often in the evenings, around or about 1900 or so GMT -7.

No response on all hailing frequencies

No harm, no foul, but when you guys did not reply to my hails in this forum thread or by in game mail for a few days, I joined another guild.

Too early to tell, but if that does not work out, I will check back here again.
