To describe the ALE philosophy first lets examine ALE's name. It is actually, believe it or not, an abbreviation
Apathetic- That's right, it really doesn't matter to us, you won't find us setting up polls or petitions, just playing and flaming like the sloppy bitches we are
Lamentors- ALE was originally founded by a bunch of people who were sick and tired of hearing people moan and whine about release dates. Of course that was way back when, now the bitching has increased geometrically, and so have our numbers. They now include people who are sick of Clan spam, and people who are sick of ignorance.
Of- O.K. The Of is actually in our title, we just dropped it out of the abbreviation. Otherwise we would be the ALOE guild, and I for one won't be a part of something named after a fucking hand cream
Everything- That's right, regardless of clan affiliation or standing, if you say something stupid, we will be there to correct you.
We aren't like those 'pro-active' guilds that everyone is so tired of. We don't expect much of our members other than your maintaining of some semblance of intelligence and a love of all things alcoholic. We follow the tenants of Farnam the Drunk, which state that if you can't accomplish something, it is better to sit on the ground with a jug of moonshine and bitch about it.

and Farnam is his profit"
