Guidelines for Joining IDE.

1) You must agree to the member guidelines.
2) You must demonstrate minimum role-play standards before at least one member of IDE.

4) A vote will be taken by the whole membership of the guild, then you will be informed of our decision and a brief explanation, if applicable, for your rejection.


Guidelines for getting and maintaining highlighting with IDE.

1) Your guild must have a webpage. This page should detail the rules, standards and purpose of your guild.
2) Must agree to an appropriate level of consequential play. You and your guild must make some effort to build into notable events (usually relating to battle and it's aftermath) reasonable and significant consequences. Specifically, we do not want constant PvP for no good reason and with no obvious effect on either guild.
3) Agree to avoid flames, flamewars or other disrespectful OOC public correspondence. You of course are free to contribute to any public board, but do so with humor, respect and/or reasoned arguments.  Debating is not flaming.  All issues should be handled by the appropriate guild leaders and should not be made a public spectacle of.
4) Must abide by clear separation between the actions of our character and those of the player.
5) Have a specific individual to whom we may bring grievances.
6) Make Role-playing the priority for your guild.
7) A vote will be taken by the whole membership of the guild, then you will be informed of our decision and a brief explanation, if applicable, for your rejection.
8) Unsolicited highlights will receive, at best, a cursory investigation and will be rejected without comment unless there is overwhelming reason to accept.  This is not the best way to go about getting highlight; contact the stone-controller for your best chances.

9) If your guild has highlighting with Byz or Rom, your chances of being granted highlight privileges with IDE will be greatly reduced.
