== About Us ==

We're a fun loving guild, always playing LD with eacher whether in random or guild, or in runs, helping each other get better gear.
We are focused on lockdown, constantly asking other guilds to play us. We don't always win, but we always have fun. Auto aim is
not permitted during GvG for our members, as we strive to be the best we can without any "helpers." We're often called "FB"
[No, it doesn't means Facebook, it means First Blood XD]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== News ==

Right now we've got lots of good swordsmen, so we'll be on the look out for good gunners and bombers.
Currently at 25 members~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

==1v1 Tournament Info==

Due to lack of cooperation from First Blood guild members, this feature has been shut down until further notice.
[Thanks a lot guys ._.]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

==In-House Clan Wars==

This is a fun event to replace 1v1 tournament. We frequently have about 15 on, so we figured we'd make use of that. Every month each officer or guild master will be a team leader, selecting 5 guildies to be on their clan for Clan Wars. Guild Masters and officers will talk with their clan members to select a name for their group. When two groups are online, we will do in-house GvG (online guildies will be spectating if they are not in one of the 2 clans).

Each win will count for 3 points, each loss counting for 1.
In the end, the prize will be decided by GMs and officers.

(Sore losers or winners will be disqualified ;D)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Meet the Guild ==

Guild Masters! [Our members will often tell people they're "GMs." It's true. They're [G]uild [M]embers! ;D]

Fodow and Zainj - Founder and Head GM :

Me! I love to have fun, normally playing LD with my friends and guildies. I don't think it's fair when teams have leavers, so spectators will often see me running around in T3 LD with proto or cyclops armour to make teams fair ;D If you're looking for a loan, I'm not the guy to ask. I'll often be broke, as I rarely EVER do clockworks XD Usually when I do clockworks it's because my cousins or guildies force me to lol

Blazingwarrior - Fodow's Follower! :

Blaz is one of my most loyal friends ;D He follows me to every guild I go to, usually as officer. This time, he managed to persuade me into making him a GM, and he's been a great one ;] Blaz is constantly challenging people, insisting he's the best player around. If you ever see him in LD, don't expect him to stay the whole game, as he lags like hell and d/cs every 5 mins >_<[P.S. In the guild, we're always teasin' Blaz and havin' some laughs about him being married at 18 years old! (LOL 18!)]

Thechosenwarriorjr - Manager :

Chose has been a vital part of the guild, helping it grow and get stronger the whole way. He was reviving Fallen Skies (One of Skybrandon's old guilds) when he hit a dead end. We got together and decided to merge, so his members came into First Blood. Each guild had about 20-30 members, so that got us to about 60 members ;] From there, we started to get recognised by others in GvG, getting ourselves up into the leaderboards. Chose is always telling me who to invite, who not to. Who to promote, who doesn't deserve it. He's fun guy, encouraging and instructing others in both clockworks and LD.

Danzepickle - The Loyalist :

Danze [he prefers to be called Madara] loves the guild, always defending it and making people feel welcome here. When Danze is around, I'd advise against throwing any insults towards First Blood, as he will spam pm you with curses, and of course his catchphrase "Shut your trashy mouth!"
"Madara" is my cousin, so we love playing with each other, since he lives far away, it's good to communicate with him. He's a ninja in lockdown, usually defying orders to be striker and he goes off as a deadly recon, killing anything in his path!

Zainj - Dat zainj is da beast !
Zainj is clam peaceful guy. he loves to do LD he just such a beast in LD unbelieveable O_o. Zainj helps his guildies to improve with their gear he helped midnight-wing get full 5* and get his 4* pendants, he is currently Helping Fodow getting him full 5* he got fodow ash tail in one wut ! for a F2P he can get gear too fast he is currently selling his storm to get fodow 5* and a Granfuast asi Med OMG WTF why he do that becuase he cares for his guildies and for Fodow !

Members/Recruits =
Too many to list, I ain't gonna put member/recruit names sorry guys ._. (Dw, keep working at it and you'll be veterans or better in no time ;D)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Recruitment ==

To get into the guild, you must contact one of our officers or guild masters and ask to be tested.
If you can't find them online, just send you mail and we'll respond to test you whenever we can.

'''For swordies,'''

the requirement to make it in as a recruit is to get 15k damage. Each capture will be counted as 500 dmg,
as we are looking for players who know how to play well as a team, not those just going and killing.

'''For bombers,'''

we'll test you on equipment and playing style - we'll tell you details when you apply. (Looking for status bomber - VT/SS)

'''For gunners,'''

we'll test you depending on your style. If you're the kind to lure opponents away from
capture points, we'll follow you and see how good your technique is. If you're the kind to kill, we'll
you on damage - you must get atleast an average of about 10k.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Guild Rules ==

1. Be intelligent -- ask questions to gain understanding; better to ask and learn than to not ask and never know.

2. Be mature -- act in a respectful and civil manner, towards guild mates and towards others.

3. Look forward -- do not despair over a loss; instead, focus on analyzing it to better understand and improve your gameplay. Remember, always say "good game."

4. Lift others up -- encourage and motivate your guild mates -- do not assign blame for losses and liberally share credit for victories. Do not criticize, instead offer suggestions as to how to improve.

5. Communicate -- If you have an idea for a strategy, say it. Don't assume others know something if you have never told them. Make sure everyone is on the same page before attempting a strategy. Be creative in strategizing and disciplined in execution.

6. Be friendly -- Be a nice person. Be helpful. Offer advice and support to your fellow guildmates. Help each other out.

7. Have fun -- Enjoy yourself. If you're playing a game, you should be having fun. This is not a job, this is a game. This is not saying that you should goof off while everyone else is focused on winning the battle; rather, it is to say that you should be having fun being focused on winning the battle.

Depending on how well your use your 1st swing technique, we will also make exceptions for those who currently have 4* gear but a trial game in lockdown tested our GMs or officers will still be necessary.

Simple. No spamming in guild chat, whether it's to sell, buy, TROLL, etc. An officer or guild master will tell you
to stop, and if you refuse, you will be either demoted or kicked.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

== Lockdown Rules ==

No, we're not going to kick you for having a bad game XD.

1. OBEY ORDERS -- Be attentive to your chat box, because as soon as the game starts, an officer or GM leading the team will be shouting out orders, and as a guild member it is your duty to obey them. If you're told to go to say "point 2," do not stop on the way to fight - go straight to your destination and defend it.

2. CAPTURE -- Here in First Blood, we have little tolerance for "damage hogs." Unless you've been ordered to base camp, you should be capturing along with your other guild members.
when you see an opponent on the way to your destination, just try to dodge and avoid them, a guild member who's been assigned to another capture point will take care of them.

3. TAKE NOTES -- Know that we're not the strongest guild around, but we learn from our mistakes. When beaten by a guild, take into account what techniques your opponents use and work up a way to counter it. For example : If your opponent has shock resistance against your VT, switch bombs. If your opponent uses combos, dodge their combo and hit once, repeat.

4. SPORTSMANSHIP -- No matter how mad you are, how annoyed you are, be it from opponent spam or your teammates not doing well, always say good game. Do not waste your time spitting insults at your opponent, but instead take the time to think "How can I help my team do better next
time?"

5. NO AUTO-AIM -- If you're using AA in random LD it's fine, but when you play guild lockdown, you represent First Blood. There will be no use of auto aim in guild lockdown. You will get 1 warning if you're seen using AA in GvG by an officer/GM, if you continue to ignore warnings we will have to demote or expel you depending on the situation :/
