Are you looking for a fresh, new, young guild (perhaps to move up in ranks to gain a leadership position) to join? Are you looking for a guild that was born out of bromance? Do you enjoy doing hoodrat things with your friends? Did you get kicked out of the Ritalin Regiment but still want to be part of a guild with an alliterative name? Were you one of the people screaming "FREE EARL" last year? You've come to the right place!

We're not gonna give you that "we just want to have a guild where people can have fun!" BS. We're going to strive to be RECOGNIZED. However, this does not mean that we can't have fun doing it! We want people to go down Haven and be like "Damn son! Sweatshirt Squad's in town? Better hide my girlfriend before she leaves with them!".

But we can't do that with only 3 members (both GMs and an officer), so we'll need your help.

Here's a little story that must be told:

One day, two dope boyz (Caramel-Bear and The-Hot-Spitta) living in the grimy, rough, and middle class hoods of suburban North Carolina were stranded at their respective homes on a rainy Saturday night because The-Hot-Spitta's dad took his car without bothering to confirm it with him. Completely bored out of their minds and with not really anything to do, Spitta suggested that they troll their childhood MMORPG, Runescape. After about 15 minutes, they got bored of that. Reminiscing the days where he and Spitta would seriously play the MMORPG together, Bear suggested that they play a game that he was currently playing, Spiral Knights.

Spitta liked the casualness and co-op features of the game. His only complaint was there was no way to distinguish whether his character was black or not. Despite that, Bear and Spitta would delve into Clockworks, beating the s*** out of anything that looked at them with their Caliburs and their 2* alchemers. 2 weeks passed, and Spitta came up with the idea of creating a guild and Bear was down for it. Unfortunately both were too poor by upgrading their gear to be able to afford the guild. Bear also pointed out that not many would want to join a guild with the masters being in 3* gear.

Time passed by, both Bear and Spitta became more skilled in their own ways. Both Bear and Spitta were in different guilds, Bear being in the well established guild, Royalty. Spitta being in the dead and now defunct guild, Tough Folks. Spitta brought up the idea of creating a guild again, however Bear was too assimilated into Royalty. However, with about a month of convincing from Spitta as well as Bear's wanting to help players get better, Bear caved. 5 minutes of thinking of a synonym for "gang" that started with S, a thesaurus search, 500 CE, and 1,000 crowns later, Sweatshirt Squad was formed in the honor of recently returned Earl Sweatshirt.

What we're looking for
We are actively recruiting members to join Sweatshirt Squad. Our targets are players who are ready to tackle T3, but want a dependable party to do it with in order to learn quicker. However, all members are welcome.

Some qualities Sweatshirt Squad needs:

• Able to speak comprehensible English. This means n0t typing lyk dis.
• Socially active. You don't have to be very social in real life, but please don't join this guild and just sit in the corner without saying anything.
• Willing to learn. Bear and Spitta have been at this for a while. They know what they're talking about. If you already know what to do, that's great! If you don't, let us help you.
• Leadership. Sweatshirt Squad is currently looking for dependable officers to help grow and maintain the guild.
• Abrasiveness and Obnoxiousness. But not to a degree where people don't like you. The guild was named after Earl Sweatshirt, we don't need members that can't take verbal jabs. Believe it or not, it's possible to be a nice guy while being slightly obnoxious. Still, we welcome all people whether they're obnoxious or not.
• Active. Sweatshirt Squad is looking for regular players that log in at least 3 times a week.
• Ditzy girls. We're aware we probably won't find that many, and even if we did manage to find one they probably won't want to join. Doesn't hurt to hope though. We strive to be a social powerhouse and we can do that with CHICKS.
• In High School or further. Bear and Spitta are both 18 years old. Their humour probably won't be that funny to 7th graders.
• Black. Spitta just wants to be with his brothas. However, all ethnicities are welcome. you don't even have to disclose it!
