Silver Hand Region


	Rules On Saturday, April 2, 2005, a collection of the most devoted guild members attended an organizational meeting which had outlined several basic and crucial elements to the growing guild of the Silver Hand Legion. The following explains in more detail. Rules Rule #1: No Profanity. Profanity will not be tolerated at any time. We will be a guild of class, a guild of character. We do not want to offend anyone, and by doing so this will only help. Blizzard does not appreciate the use of swearing either, and we want to uphold their policies in our guild. Rule #2: No Greed. I have heard many times while collecting signatures from people that they have hated the guilds filled with greedy, stingy people. The following will address the issue. Part 1: We ask that you give your professional services freely (asking to collect resources is not unreasonable). Please do remember though they are pulling time out of their gaming and so tips are appreciated. Part 2: Items that you no longer can use we ask that you hand down to someone that is able to make use of before you discard, or try your chances at the Auction House. Rule #3: Don't confront guild members. In order to avoid arguments between guild members, any major conflicts we ask be brought to an officer's attention before you confront a member. Any expressed or implied rule broken we ask that you report to an officer. Rule #4: Superior's Respect. Our officers are here to help you. Part 1: Our officers will respect you in every way. We ask that you respect them as well. I don't believe respect has to be explained for you to understand. Part 2: Saluting an officer upon entry is a requirement. This provides our guild with discipline, organization, and a little bit of fun. Part 3: Do not grief to a superior about a matter, you may report an issue but complaining is highly annoying and takes some time to manage it. Rule #5: Ganking. No member will engage with an opponent if (s)he is 10 levels or more lower than your own level. This rule becomes obsolete if a horde member is attacking you, you may call in support, no matter what the level. Rule #6: Confidentiality No member may leak out any e-mail address, passwords of authentication (i.e: teamspeak program), raid plans to anyone within the gaming world, or outside of. Rule #7: Party Leadership When two or more members of the guild are in a party, the party leader will be the highest ranking member in the guild. Rule #8: Power Abuse Abusing of powers is prohibited, and includes but is not limited to: bossing other members around, demanding items on rolls, demanding chests, disregarding opinions and needs of other members. Rule #9: Activity You must be active at least ONCE a week. You may be excused for periods of time if you inform the Divine Vanguard that you may have trouble time to time. A general explanation is required, not specific dates. Ranking System 1. Divine Vanguard 2. Knight 3. Footsoldier 4. Recruit * 5. Exile ( Temporary Disciplinary Rank) * Zealots are those priviledged to recieve a free tabard. Recruits must not wear a guild tabard, and if they previously own one they must not wear it until otherwise promoted. More ranks are due to appear once our numbers increase and we require sub divisions, division commanders, ect. Officers are defined as anyone being a Crusader, Armsman or Divine Vanguard. Recruiting System It is thought to be in the best interest of the guild to contain a very friendly, close knit guild. We want to keep our members friendly and knowing eachother well, while avoiding a guild that has so many members that you notice people that you've never seen before having the same guild tag as your own. Members: • 1-25: 3 members/week • 25-75: 5 members/week Once we reach a 75 mark, we will cease to have quotas required, and instead we will focus on our guild training, management and cleansing. A monthly cleanup is done for those who have not been active, for those who are not contributing, and for those that are unpleasent. It is in your best interest to be a contributing member, and an active one in order to be a part of the Silver Hand Legion. Disciplinary Action When the unfortunate event occurs that a rule IS broken, the officers and or Vanguard will decide the judgement of the member. Some may recieve several verbal warnings, while others may proceed directly into procedure, which is as follows: 1. Verbal Warning 2. Exile (Recieve "Exile" rank. No chat privileges, team speak. May only observe) 3. Banishment.
