The Rebellion's leader is not coming back and the guild is now dead! Please do NOT post! Thank you!


Welcome to the Rebellion's official discussion & recruitment thread!

This is a guild that is somewhat different from the rest. Here we strive for things that you won't find in other guilds. We have plans for plenty of events and ideas for many more still. However, our primary objective as a faction is to have fun and help others in our faction have fun.

We aim to become a well-organized, open and friendly guild. We know that to accomplish this, a lot of effort has to be put into the things we are going to do. And we're not afraid of making mistakes. We're a guild which needs active and talkative members. We want our members to feel not just as guild members but also as friends.

I'm not going to hide that we do have problems. Our faction was established more than a month ago. Our foundress had lots of things to attend to so she went away and passed the leader position onto another responsible person. However, he heard of one other not so responsible person that our real leader was coming back, and he passed the leader position onto this person so he could pass it back to the foundress. She didn't show up, though, and soon an argument ensued. The new 'leader' was behaving in an immature way and kicked one of our more responsible members out. Many of our best members then decided to leave. The leader left too, passing his position to another very active person. Unfortunately, this person also had lots of things to do and had to leave the faction eventually.

The leader position is now back to our foundress, Cadence, and we're awaiting her return. We have lots of problems though, and not problems that are easily solved. Our worst problem is inactivity. Yes, we have to admit it because we want to be honest with people. There are about 5-10 active people and probably another 5 who are semi-active. The rest of our members are totally inactive and have to be kicked. We hope this will be done as soon as our leader returns.

What do we do now? Well, we aim to bring life back to this guild and in doing so, accomplish our initial guild goals which are stated in the beginning paragraph. We need people. We need not just people, but active people. People who talk in guild chat, who are ready to help others and are not afraid to get their hands dirty.

We want people who are ready to become part of a real tight-knit community.

If you've read so far and are interested, go on reading to see some factual details about us.
  • We are a level 1 faction with 3x members in total.
  • We are not a faction that will promote its members quickly. Do not expect to become an executor the day you join or a marshal because you're a high level.
  • We are not a PK-ing guild. This means we will not go randomly PK-ing people. If you want that kind of experience, the Rebellion is a poor choice for you.
  • We want people to be active and helpful. The least a member should say is 'hi' when they come on, and 'bye' when they go offline. We expect a lot more than that though.

Of course, we do have some specific rules for activity and PK-ing and here they are laid out and explained.

Rules

Activity

By active we understand not simply being online or gaining levels on a weekly basis. By active we understand a complex mixture of being online at least 10-14 hours per week, coming to at least one weekly guild event, posting at least once a day in this thread and taking part in the discussions we will carry out here and in guild chat.

We're a guild that is open to suggestions and constructive criticism. We strive for constructive discussions which will enhance our gaming experience and relax us at the same time.

Player Killing (PK-ing)

As stated a few lines above, we are not a PK-ing faction. Although we play on Lost City, that doesn't mean we will kill people on sight (KoS). The reason we play on the PvP server is that we find it more realistic and a place where choices matter a lot more. There are many reasons as to why we don't want to PK people. Part of them are political. We wouldn't want our members to kill random people and thus bring a war with another faction upon us. Neither do we want to have the reputation of RageQuit or other PK-ing guilds.

Some may think that it's ok to kill red-named players. While that may make sense, we won't do this either. The reasons are again numerous. It might be that the red-named player has a faction backing them so attacking them could still lead to war. If the 'red' doesn't have a faction, you still aren't supposed to kill them. It may be someone who is after PK-ing factions, such as RQ. If that's true, we might actually share common goals with this person.

We do not expect our members to go looking for trouble, but that doesn't mean we won't help them if they get attacked or ganked by others. We will use all means necessary, including PK-ing the enemy, in order to protect our people.

Diplomacy

Treaties

Currently, we have no treaties with any factions. If you'd like to propose a deal, you can begin negotiations by PM-ing or mailing Basch or Dimiter. For now our leader, Cadence, is away.

Wars

RageQuit - Kill on Sight (KoS)*

*Why? - Because not too long ago RageQuit's leader Pandora announced that their faction is KoS will all factions. That's why we'll consider RQ to be KoS as well until further notice.

Recruitment

Currently, Rebellion is recruiting active level 25+ members.

    We're still expecting our leader to return. I hope our other members will be able to post here soon.

    In that time, we're still recruiting Rebels. b:laugh

    I like your views about PK-ing, I never pk and follow pretty much the same rule in my guild. I am currently the marchal of DarkBlade, but I am thinking to quit, in search of a more mature faction. I have invested lots of time and zen in this guild (I even set up their web page) for not much in return.

    I find the views of your faction (well cadence faction :D) to be quite interesting and in line with the way I like to play the game.

    I respect the fact that you won't promote pple straight away, but I'd like to know what are your requirements to promote pple?

    I play for fun, and I like talkative pple (grinding is so much better if u have somebody to talk to :D).

    All and all, if I know I can progress in the ranks of the faction (even if it takes time) I am quite interested, and we play in the relatively same time-zone (|'m on GMT London).

    Anyway keep up the good work b:victory

    Hi guys.

    I thank you very much for your applications but unfortunately, the Rebellion has fallen apart irreversibly.

    I stayed in it until a week ago when I found out from other ex-members that Cadence would not be coming back. That meant that the Rebellion had a leader who wasn't going to be online ever again and thus, the guild had no chance to develop whatsoever.

    Because the few remaining active people from the Rebellion quit the faction, I also left. I'm really sorry you two were confused by this old thread. I should have probably posted here saying that the guild was dead, but I didn't because I wanted the thread to die too.

    If you guys did like what you read in this thread so far, I'd recommend to you the guild that I'm in now. The name of the guild is Nostalgia and the leader is Falon. A few people from the Rebellion have joined it already and there are also many other interesting people in it. It's a mature and fun faction and it doesn't have activity issues like the Rebellion. You can read more about it here

    Whether you like that guild and want to become part of it or not, I apologize once again for the confusion on this thread and I wish you both happy gaming. b:victory
