Anyone is welcome to be a part of our clan, but there are some rules we would like for you to follow, they are shown below.
Cooperation and respect
1-1: We work a lot better as a team than we do fighting with eachother. I would like it if you could work as a team with your fellow clanmates.
1-2: If a member of another clan wishes to speak to the Leader or someone else, be helpful and ask how you can help, it could be an important message.
1-3: I want some members to ask for permission from Administrative members (Leader and Redentor) before performing certain actions depending on what it is, we want to be aware of some situations.
1-4: The highest rank online is in charge when the Administration isn't present. This means if the highest rank online is a Rank 7 Champion, Anything below Champion are to obey orders from this member until either a higher ranked member comes online or he signs off, inwhich they will resort to the highest rank who is still online.
1-5: For Lower Ranks: Don't order higher ranks around like you are in charge. If you really want more of a position of power, earn it.
1-6: Inform higher ranked members about threats from other clans as soon as possible if they are made. Some could just happen to be real.
1-7: If you catch anyone from another clan recruiting in our base, you are to inform higher ranks immediately.It is considered disrespectful to recruit in another clan's base and it should not be tolerated.
1-8: Treat other GW members with respect, they are like family and we are there for eachother for better or for worse.
1-9: Respect members of our allied clans. They may not wear our tags, but they deserve to be treated with respect. If a member of an allied clan is being rude to you, you are more than welcome to inform their leader or the GW Administration of their disrespectful attitude.
1-10: Show respect to members of Enemy clans. Having rivals on the game is what gives us something fun to do, we should at least show them some respect to thank them for giving us the opportunity to have them as an opponent. It is just a game, It's not like we are enemies with them in real life.
1-11: Respect members of Neutral clans. Neutral clans are neither our Ally or Enemy, but their decision to either ally us or go to war with us depends on how we treat them.
The Code Of Magnus (Combat)
When we are in raids, we will follow these rules, this will help us keep organized in battle.
2-1: GW War Uniform. This is a very simple protocol to follow, so please do follow it.
If we are raiding or are being raided, We use Blue as our team colour. If our Enemy is using Blue in a raid, We will useAquaas our secondary. If we are assisting an Ally in one of their raids, we use the colour they are using.
2-2: No cowardice in raids, I do not want our men embarassing themselves or the clan.
No Running in raids, Running makes people look like cowards in a raid. Do not Ignore anyone in a raid, I do not want us damaging a great clan's reputation, NO EXCUSES! Do not use the Safe Zone in raids, This is just as bad as running.
2-3: Set a positive example for our clanmates in raids.
Help clanmates who are in need of assistance or are at low health. Behave yourself, This is NOT Bellicose Cavalcade! Enough people have been banned for trash talk, I don't want one of them to be a GW member. If someone trash talks you, do not insult them back, I don't want us to lower themselves to their level.
2-4: Unity is victory. Working together is essential to winning a raid.
If you want to lead a raid, Please inform the GW Administration before you do, This will keep track of what is going on and allow us to send reinforcments. Only Rank 6 Guardians, Elite Ranks (7-12), and GW Administration can lead raids. If our base is under attack, the Highest ranking member online leads the Defense. If you have clanmates on your Friends List, inform them of the raid. At least a minimum of 11 members must be on and joining the battle before you can raid in less an exception is given by GW Administration. (Allies can count if they choose to get involved) Do not turn against your clanmates in raids, Betrayal will not be tolerated among our ranks. Follow orders as soon as they are given, That means when we say "GW to the Ramp", That means get your ass to the ramp now. When I tell you to Return to Base, that means leave the room now. It's over when the raid commander say it's over, please refrain from leaving the room in the middle of a raid. Never Give Up, Never Surrender. If you want to win any battle, you got to fight for it.
2-5: No raiding clans that we have a Cease Fire with. If they attack us, Do NOT counter-raid, just inform Administration either in person on Sherwood or on our Guestbook and we will decide what to do about it.
2-6: Assist allies in need of help, that's what friends are for.
If there is an Allied clan that needs help, inform other members immediately through friends list and assist the allied forces. Rank 4 Squires and higher can give the order to members to assist allied clans. If there is a situation where an Allied clan is raiding another of our Allies, Please stay out of it. We do not betray our friends. Do not raid Allies! ONLY the Leader can give this order. Practice and Fun Raids must be approved by Administrative members of both clans before we do it. We don't want betrayal complaints.
2-7: Helping or Raiding Neutral clans opens the opportunity for making new allies or enemies.
Only Elite ranks (7-12) and the GW Administration can order members to assist a Neutral clan. You can not assist a Neutral clan if it is fighting an allied clan. Help the Allied clan if this happens. GW Administration, Rank 12 Inquisitor, and Rank 11 Executor are the only ranks that can give the order to raid Neutral clans. Assisting Allies against Neutral clans is allowed.
expectations
3-1: If you believe something is wrong, you have the right to contact the Administration about it, They will look into the situation.
3-2: Do not start a verbal fight with your leader or anyone who has been put in charge of GW if the leader is not present.
3-3: Obey those of higher positions, if you believe power is being abused, contact me and I will look into the situation.
3-4: If you are in charge, don't abuse your power, I don't want to hear reports from members over abuse of power.
3-5: Remember what you are capable of in GW, you can only give certain commands depending on your Rank, they are listed below in the next section.
3-6: High ranking members in charge are to help enforce The Code of Magnus in battle and make sure clan rules are followed on and off the battlefield. 3-7: Try your best to be active, if there is a day you can't be or for a certain amount of time, feel free to leave a message on the guestbook, we would appreciate this.
3-8: Put a good effort into recruiting, fighting battles or training members instead of sitting in base doing nothing, this helps keep the clan strong and increase activity.
3-9: Don't just leave GW because you don't see anyone on, if you think it is too quiet, try recruiting, this will help increase our activity and you may also receive promotions for recruiting as well.
Promotions
4-1: How to recruit
1: Invite - Ask if they want to join. (Targeting those with White names assures you that they will more likely come back, because you can add them on friends list) 1a (Recommended): Have them come to Room 43 Sapphire (/join43) < THIS IS OUR BASE 2: Tags - Tell them to put Initiate-GW in their Clan Tags, this is the first rank in GW's ranking system & everyone starts at Initiate-GW. Don't forget to tell them that Room 43 on the Sapphire Server is the base. 2a (Recommended): If a player's name is written in White on the Sherwood Chat or Player List, you know they have a Members account on Sherwood, have them add you on Friends List, this helps make sure they come back. 3: Sign - Have them sign the guestbook saying they were recruited by you. (This will help you get your promotion) THIS IS MANDATORY FOR YOUR PROMOTION. 4: Loyalty - See if they come back the next day, if they did, you have got a recruit successfully, I'll record the amount of successful recruits you get and you will be promoted when you reach a certain amount.
