Knights of Bluehaven

Hello everyone! My name is Zebramf, but you can call me Zeb. I am the founder of the SK guild, Knights of Bluehaven. This is actually my first post here on the SK forums, let alone my first guild advertisement, and I apologize ahead of time if there are any typos anywhere in the article; I have a habit of making mistakes while typing.

Summary:

Knights of Bluehaven is a relatively new guild in the Spiral Knights universe, looking for some new members to kickstart and support our guild. We accept players of all tiers and skill, as well as offer training and help for new knights and support for older knights on their quest for the core. The guild is focused around having fun and conquering the Clockworks while still being quite laid back and relaxed.

Requirements for Application:
We assume that you will follow these when you apply.

1. You must be active (Online at least once a week).
2. You must be mature and respectful to everyone, not just your fellow guildmates.
3. A small 25 crown deposit is due at time of recruitment. We also accept donations :)

Guild Rules and Guidelines:

1. Follow the requirements stated above. We're not going to stalk you to make sure that you fulfill them, but we expect that you'll live up to your half of the bargain.
2. If a new guildmate asks for help, help them. The only exceptions are that you've used all of your mist energy for the day OR you have not yet gained T2 access. If you are at T1 and help is requested at a T1 level, we ask that you help in any way possible.
3. Keep the chat clean and be helpful. This means no trashtalking, swearing, insulting, begging, spamming, etc.
4. We will not force you to give CR or CE to other guildmates, but you may do so if you feel that it will be well spent.
5. Have fun! Simple, right?

Ranking Up (and down)

We do have a system in place for the ranking/de-ranking of our guildmates, and that system is strictly enforced. Recruits, Members, and Veterans all have a equal say in guild affairs. No one knight has more power that the other. Except mods and GMs, of course. We hold weekly ceremonies in which we celebrate the promotion of guildmates.

[Recruit] - Given to all new members of the guild, no matter what tier their armor/weapons are. You are then ranked up to member if you meet the correct criteria.
[Member] - This is the default rank for all knights, and is given to players who are active in the guild and follow the Rules and Guidelines listed above, as well as having given T2 access.
[Veteran] - Vet for short, this rank is given to active and friendly knights who have followed the Rules and Guidelines and have achieved T3 access.
[Moderator] - Mods for short, these knights are the GM's right-hand knights. They can coordinate with the GM(s) as to the promotion/demotion of fellow guildmates. In order to reach this rank, you must be voted in by your fellow guildmates.
[Guild Master] - GM for short, these knights rule the guild and are at the top of the pyramid. I will only promote knights to this rank if I know and trust them to handle guild matters.

Reasons for Demotion:

If a member becomes inactive for more than 2 weeks without giving a mod or GM a good reason (Vacation, family crisis, cat/dog died, etc.) will be removed from the guild. If you become active later and wish to re-apply, you may do so. We hate to remove members and would love to have you back!

The 3-D-1 Rule:

Ah, yes. The 3-D-1 rule, my favorite part of this entire article (don't ask why). It stands for 3 warnings, Demotion, 1 kick. This is the rule that we follow when it comes to the demotion of guildmates. It goes like this:

You get three warnings. You get one warning when you break a rule. After your third warning, you are demoted to a lower rank. If you break another rule after the demotion, you are demoted again. If you are a recruit and you either a) Get three warnings or b) Break another rule after being previously demoted, you will be removed from the guild without a refund. We can't say that we didn't warn you.

Current Members:
This list will be updated whenever we accept a new knight into our ranks.
