Doubt this will shed any light but here goes

My in-game name is Antter

I started playing spiral knights the week it came out, but have lost motivation on several occasions

I have always loved Spiral Knights, but when I grinded the ranks and got all the gear I wanted, I had realized that the only thing I ever wanted from the game was a friend or two

I'm not sure what you'd want to know about me... I'm just a boy who wants to try his best, just a kid trying to bring meaning to everything he does, just a spiral knight trying to show people that they aren't alone. Also, I'd rather talk to someone 1 on 1 to get to know them because there is a very small difference between the virtual world and the real world, and I would want to get to know every single guild member one by one.

I am from the United States (East Coast)

Well, I haven't played in a while, but when I came on, my first impression of RC was that it was one of the only things keeping Spiral knights, the game that I have always loved, alive

To be honest, I don't want anything from the guild, I just want to be around a group of people that really understand that what they are doing is special and makes them happy, and in return, I would be willing to help a fresh-out-of-the-box noob go from 0-5* in a week (basically I would do anything)

I read the rules, and I agree to them.

Getting an invite to this guild may be the only motivation I would ever have for coming back to spiral knights... Have a great day

IGN: Jaynat

Joined the game at: April 2015

Playing frequency: I do my best to log on at least once a day, for varying durations (From just checking the auction house and prestige missions to spending houres in-game, depending on how busy I am at the moment, if there are any friends or guild members online and other variables.)

About me:
Well, I don't really know what a guild manager needs to know other than the information you require in the other questions, but I'll do my best...
I'm an 18 years old male. You'll discover that Jaynat looks feminie if you'll meet him but he's a male too (I like to write backstories for the characters I create and play as, and this one's pretty weird... I might tell it one day, who knows.) I enjoy playing video games but since my computer isn't exactly a gaming beast and, until very recently (when I finished school), I didn't really have the time to save enough money to upgrade to a gaming machine, I learned to enjoy the simpler, cheaper, smaller but not necessarily less enjoyable games. That's how I found out about spiral knights, and I quickly learned to love it, hate it and love my hatred towards it. (That last sentence doesn't make much sense but it sounds deep and meaninful so I'll leave it there.)
I tend pretty chatty (I almost died multiple times because I was trying to type to my party members but apperantly mecha knights don't give a f#%k about that, and, hey, just look at this application!) but can be serious when seriousness is required (like I said, I almost died at these times.) I have a pretty weird sense of humor, but it's not like I'm intolerable or anything like that at all... I'm a curious person, which led me to learning many things (both related to SK and in general) either from research, other's or (more often than I'd like to) my own mistakes...
I suppose that if I will make it into the guild you will learn more about me in time, but for an application it should be more than enough...

Origin: I'd rather not reveal it as of right now for reasons that will be made clear once I decide I'm ready to reveal it. I can tell you the important bits:

• Time zone: UTC+2 (UTC+3 during summer - Daylight saving time and all that)
• English is: not my first language, but I do speak it more properly than a large portion of the english speaking people I meet online, so it doesn't really mean anything, does it?

Reason(s) for choosing the Retribution Council:

1. One of the most important things I'm looking in a guild is activeness - like you said, I want to play with a guild, not just be a part of one. The last guild I was a member of was great for some time, but sadly as time passed most players that were active around the same time as me left it, which made it pretty boring and quiet in guild chat... Anyway from what I can tell from your description you seem like a very active guild that I'd be more than happy to be a part of.
2. Obviously simply being active isn't enough to be concidered a good guild. With that said, out of all the guilds that are recruiting on the forums that I had the time and patience to read their introduction posts (most of the first page) the Retribiution Council really stands out. Why? (Well, I shouldn't need to tell you, you probably know it better than me considering that you're a part of it, but...) because there are many guild out there that are really open and will accept people from all tiers and with varying skill levels, and there are many guilds out there that seem to be a really cohesive community that will really feel more like a community than simply a guild, but there are very few that are both, and the Retribution Council is at the top of these few special ones.

What can I offer to the community: I'm a determined player that will always do the best possible to ensure the success of whatever it is that I'm doing. I like to belive I work great in a group (but I suppose that it's the group members that have the right to judge...), and I usually do what I can to contribute and work for the common good (in this case - the guild.) I join to help almost every friend or guild member that asks for help in whatever he/she needs (unless I'm in the middle of something I need as well, in which case I will join and help him/her after I'll be done, assuming he/she will still need my help) and even if I can't offer the help one requires I'll probably still try to help in whatever else I can (I can't just leave a friend in need like that, can I?)
Also, I hope that in the guild I won't be the only person who's like that and that this cooperation will be mutal, since you know how they say - one plus one can be much greater than two. Math may not be their strongest side, but they did succeed at life.

and finally...
[v] I have read and agree to the terms and conditions.

If you saw I applied for this guild a while ago and they really helped me. The people in the guild are friendly, smart and always try to help you. I may not be in the guild anymore but my time in it was great and I would like to thank everyone from Retribution Coucil. You should definately consider joining either them or The Anonymous. :)

Players that applied to join the Retribution Council were reviewed and invited accordingly, prior to this post. If you have not received an invitation within three days maximum, your application has been rejected. It's suggested to put some effort into your application for the best results.

For any questions, please mail/message ''Kazangen'' or anyone from our application staff on the forum in-game.

I've been in this guild for three months now, and all I can say is that it is a wonderful community of wonderful people. Every weekend I eagerly run to my computer and hop on the Teamspeak, knowing the next couple of hours will be full of laughs and great times. Everyone is so caring and willing to help to the best of each of their abilities, and it's truly great to feel a part of it.

Plus the work they put into this guild really shines through.

Here's to the future, and to many more fun times!

Kwarrior

When did you begin playing Spiral Knights?
Since July 2012

How frequently do you like playing the game? Because we sure do!
I play (almost) every day

Care to tell us a bit about yourself as a person?
I'm a quiet (and probably shy?) 18 year old student. But friendly and willing to aid anyone on their clockwork adventures

Our community has players from lots of different countries. Which might you be from?
Argentina

Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?
I like how this guild gives their effort to assist their members. Also I'm looking for a active and mature guild to keep myself active and play this game again for fun like I used to

We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?
Mostly helping any guildmate on whatever mission/arcade they are playing. Also donating any kind of materials for crafting

Did you read the rules and agree to them completely?
Yes. And I agree

What's your in-game name?

Scarkrow.

When did you begin playing Spiral Knights?

Um... Not sure... Sometime in 2011-2012.

How frequently do you like playing the game? Because we sure do!

I really really love playing this game. During summer I can spend up to 12 hours a day on SK. :D. However, I have a unique situation, I guess you could say. Where I normally live, Spiral Knights isn't accessible (it was at one point, but I dunno why it's not anymore), so I'm only able to play when I travel elsewhere (i.e for summer, chinese new year, etc.)

Care to tell us a bit about yourself as a person?

I'm a pretty nice person, I don't mind helping other people out. I always greet people who come online in the guild unless I might die typing. I play off a Mac, so sometimes I do have FPS issues. Oh yeah, and I play off steam, so feel free to add me @http://steamcommunity.com/id/alphapro/.

Our community has players from lots of different countries. Which might you be from?

From Malaysia, living in China (normally).

Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?

You guys look like a pretty nice and active guild, and it seems like you guys care a lot for your guild members.

We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?

As I've said, I'm a pretty nice player, I spark people for free. :P I don't mind helping out with the guild upkeep and donating. Plus, I really enjoy joining newer players' missions.

Did you read the rules and agree to them completely?

Yep. Completely. By the way, did you know that putin is censored? Oh yeah, one thing. As I've mentioned my situation, I expect that if I do get into this guild, I will most likely be removed due to inactivity, does that mean I'll never be able to go back into Retribution Council again? Cause this looks like a really cool guild and that would really suck. (Never mind, reread).

Would be great if you could review my application before summer ends. :P

P.S Sorry for wall of text.

What's your in-game name?

My In-game name is Killabite

Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?

Retribution council has been strongly recommended by my best in real life friend Meat-Ballss who I have known since I was 3 he has told me your helpful guild ways are awesome and people are always willing to help you out and from what I was reading in your comment about how the guild works I was blown away by the way you Kaz have set thing up I mean weekly shadow runs recipes and materials that's amazing.

We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?

I think I can help the retribution council community by being active and helpful when needed as I am progressing up the ranks of being a better player I am becoming more willing to help others trying to progress I can definitely bring this aspect of me into you community and hopefully to help change the guild for the better.

This guild seems very organized and I am looking for a well-organized guild with a strong set of rules to follow

I can offer my service to my fellow guildmates if they need help on missions

Reply my request!:)

1. My In Game Name if Blastorang

2. Not quite sure I know it was about a year before the Battle Sprite update ( which I loved and hated )

3. On average 4 times a week. It highly depends on my schedule

4. I play games because I want to enjoy them. My hobbies are vide games sports and Legos XD

5. Minnesota USA

6. Because it's all about teamwork and the community and I can tell that I'd enjoy myself and hopefully others will to.

7. An advice giver and a helper on runs ( I'm pretty sure that's how I'm supposed to word that? )

8. Completely understood and agreed too.

• What's your in-game name?
Emikaru.
• When did you begin playing Spiral Knights?
I began playing about three weeks ago, but I really began playing when a friend started playing with me a week ago so 2015. =P
• How frequently do you like playing the game? Because we sure do!
I like playing this game three times or more a week. I prefer playing with friends. When I do so, I usually play it for longer hours, because I find it more enjoyable that way. I could even go on playing it for a week straight. The more the merrier. The merrier, the more I play.
• Tell us a bit about yourself as a person.
As a person I’m a respectful citizen, sincerely. I also enjoy helping others and learning new things regardless of what field we’re talking about here (people skills, something academic, etc.).
• Our community has players from lots of different countries. Which might you be from?
I’m from Ecuador which is in South America. I was born there and I live there, currently.
• Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?
I’ve found that I would much rather play with others than just by myself. I think this will help me play more, progress more and overall, have more fun in the game. Everything you guys do seems like fun, though I know that behind it there is a lot of effort. I’m talking about the Fireworks Jubilee and the Haven Takeover self-created missions. It challenges players in other aspects than just the missions and allows us some fun. Apart from that, there are players in all tiers so it’ll really feel like a family where there are more-experienced players coaching the less-experienced ones like a real-life family with daddys and mommys and kids where the kids grow up really quickly heh.
• We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?
I’ll contribute in any way I can. As I said, I’m mostly here to enjoy spending time with other people playing this game, because playing solo isn’t that thrilling. I’ll farm and even do the dishes if that’s necessary.
• Did you read the rules and agree to them completely?
Yes, I’ve read them over and over again. I like the part that goes “Remember, the behavior of one reflects the behavior of all.”

1.my in game name is Thewilliams
2.about a month and half
3.on for hours on end unless doing something irl and will probably decrease in activity during the school year

5.U.S.A,NY
6.you guys seem pretty cool another player told me about you and reading about your guild you guys seem kinda cool
7.as i said i am on for hours and will fight my way to the core if my group wants to,i am good to have around for grinding and getting past tough areas that would beat any one person and i also like ,making great gear for my under equipped friends
8, i read your rules and i agree to all of them,i will accept any orders given to me by the guildmasters

Just a little post to say that Im not dead, Im just doing schoolwork and hope to be back soon Kaz.

When did you begin playing Spiral Knights?
A couple years ago, not sure exactly when. A couple months before elevator passes came out? (I've been here a long time)
How frequently do you like playing the game? Because we sure do!
VERY often! I play whenever I have time and no other obligations, so i normally manage to fit in a couple hours a day.
Tell us a bit about yourself as a person.
Well, I'm really cool. I'm an avid actor and amateur psychologist (still in highschool). In game, I'm mostly a support bomber, although I've decided to try my hand at swording for a bit.
Our community has players from lots of different countries. Which might you be from?
The U.S., I'm a valley boy B) (L.A.)
Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?
Well, this guild is huge and very active, with a great community, from what I can tell. That's exactly what I need, since I just want people to run PvE with and talk to. This guild also has people from a lot of different time zones, which is awesome because I don't always keep normal hours.
We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?
Well, I'm always down for any run, I like to think I'm hilarious, and I enjoy playing support to other players ^.^
Did you read the rules and agree to them completely?
Yep!!

IGN- Voltduck

I began playing 2 years ago.

I like to go on spiral knights when i can (which is fairly often)

I like to think i'm friendly, I like to make people feel welcome on the game, and I'm also willing to help when needed

Canada

I look towards further development in my spiral knights experience I look for guilds that can add to my experience, and I'm looking for an active guild, as I enjoy the company of other players during my playtime

As an individual, I would gladly spend my time and effort into gathering items for the guild and my guildmates.

I have read over the rules and completely agree to them.

-disclaimer- This is on Fishmclisy's forum account, as mine just isn't working .-.

P.S. I like ducks, Quack

Hello, My name is Barry Allen. JK lol, but I would love to join your guild(Please excuse my name, it took me a while to figure this forum thing out)

What's your in-game name?:

My in game name is Nerdy-Knight(get it?)

When did you begin playing Spiral Knights?:

I have been playing Spiral Knights for 1 year now. The longest time I have played a game.(Controlling Parents)

How frequently do you like playing the game?:

How often I played this game has varied to be honest. When I first started the game, I spent all my time on it, after about 2 months, I played a sandbox known as Terraria, which lasted for about 1 month. After a while, I got bored of Terraria, and I began my Spiral Knights grind, which lasted for about 9 months, with the help of my friend, I developed decent PvE skills(Didn't really help with PvP tho D:) Recently, I have began playing the popular MOBA League Of Legends(Which has turned into a rage fest).Of course, there is the school year, where I will most likely be studying(Blarg) and doing work, but I will devote as much time as I can to Spiral Knights. Personally, some of my happiest moments have been playing this game, and I will continue frequently play this game, and hopefully, create more enjoyable, wifi lag free moments.

Tell us a bit about yourself as a person:

Do you really want to open that door? Well, to be honest, I am an energetic, intelligent, and outgoing. I am the type of person who can take a few jokes, and tell a couple bad ones too. My friends are also very important to me, and I would say some of the most important people in my life, my friends are the ones who introduced me to Spiral Knights. Academics are also very important to me, I study hard, and I get my homework done, I work very hard in school, and while I try to enjoy life, much the the dismay of my parents, I do care about my academic life. Personally, I think that I am a good person at heart, and I will do that is right.

Which Country are you from?:

I was born is Shanghai, China, and was raised in British Columbia, Canada.

Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?

Why do I want to join Retribution Council? Well for a number of reasons, but the main reason I want to join is to join an active guild with nice, and helpful people. All my life, I have been around terrible people, people who were, people who would try to swindle you for their own gain. For once, I want to be in a nice, active guild filled with honest people.

We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?:

I can help anybody with whatever they need to the best of my ability. While I am not a rich person, I have decent PvE skills, and I can carry people through most levels. While I cannot help people much with their inventory, I can help them obtain whatever they need, or simply give it to them if I happen to have it.

Did you read the rules and agree to them completely?:

Of course, as my father says, don’t operate a device without reading the instructions. I have read these rules and I abide by them, they protect people, and makes the guild more enjoyable for everybody.

Drawster is gonna be a great asset to your guild hes nice friendly and i nver had any trouble with him and with pain in my heart i had too let him go :'( but do take care of him :D

King-

What's your in-game name?

-My in-game name is Vynlaris.

When did you begin playing Spiral Knights?

-I started playing SK around a year ago, stopped when I finally got my Snarbolax Set, and then I restarted 4 days ago.

How frequently do you like playing the game? Because we sure do!

-I play SK pretty frequently, but only after school hours. Even though I can only play after school hours, I'm already at the
rank of 6-2 even though I made this new knight just 4 days ago.

Care to tell us a bit about yourself as a person?

-In real life and in SK, I'm a very friendly and enthusiastic person. Generally what I can say about myself, but I'll see what
becomes of me in the future as I develop more traits.

Our community has players from lots of different countries. Which might you be from?

-I am from the Philippines.

Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?

-A year ago, when I was in my old guild, Owsla, I knew Retribution Council was already a prospering guild at the time up to now.
I saw a lot of people (Vanguards) who roam around with the Retribution Council Guild name, and I knew it was one of the top
rank guilds before, so I was more than happy to see that Retribution Council is still here when I restarted.

We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?

-Being helpful to guild members is what I do best, if they need support or help with runs, I'll be here. I can also contribute by
doing a lot of arcade runs in the future and by helping the guild keep stock of it's recipes and materials.

Did you read the rules and agree to them completely?

-I agree with the rules and rightfully share in the (really nice) perks that I have read in the Retribution Council forum.

What's your in-game name?
Redologist

When did you begin playing Spiral Knights? -
Started playing in 2011, i wasn't very good at the game back then so i left for awhile then came back after!

How frequently do you like playing the game? Because we sure do!
3-7 Hours, i play daily.

Tell us a bit about yourself as a person.
Hey! I'm 13 years old, was born in the Philippines. I was invited to play around on SK at 2011, i was pretty young back then so i didn't know much, 4 years after that, this is me! I'm a quiet and loyal person who likes to play MMORPG's around Steam, or probably FPS and TPS games. I like to play Spiral Knights most of the time, or maybe Trove.

Our community has players from lots of different countries. Which might you be from?
I'm from the Philippines!~ :)

Why the Retribution Council, and not other guilds? What do you think makes us different?
It makes you guys different because your community has different members from different countries, and that's pretty good cause it means i can interact with other people around the world by means of the Retribution Council!

We offer many things. But what do you as a player think you can contribute to help our community?
I'd love to help the community by means of doing dungeons which they find hard to do and which i have finished before. I may donate crowns to them as well if i have any spare.

Did you read the rules and agree to them completely?
Yes.
