New Guild Starting Up - Interested?

[Gondorian]

I recently left a guild because I felt that being in it conflicted with my efforts to contribute towards the community as a whole. I could not see a way to act as fairly as possible when running Organized Play events whilst also contributing to my guild's competitive achievements. (A1 were striving to be the dominant guild on the tournament scene and I could not do my part to help them without also being accused of bias.)

Well, I've thought a lot about that decision over the past week, and the idealist in me is hoping that there is some way I can be in a guild again, but it would need to be founded on the following principles: Honesty, Integrity, Honour, Collaboration and Contribution.

Healthy competition will be encouraged too, but not at the expense of the other principles, and our commitment to fairness in Organized Play events will always come first.

Right now, I have no idea if anyone else would like to be in such a guild, so I've put this post here to see who is interested. Send me a PM if you are.

Note: I do not plan on leading this guild. I just want to be in it, if it ends up existing!

Also note: This is not a dig at A1. (Added at the request of GS.)

UPDATE:

We've picked an initial name: "SHADOW ERA, ETC".

We now have our own forum set up over at Proboards:

Drop by and say hi if you are interested in joining or ju

So reading between the lines, you are saying A1 was not (sic) "Honesty, Integrity, Honour, Collaboration and Contribution."

Interesting...

[GS]

Agreed with Pete.

Are you accusing A1 of anything, GDC?

[Gondorian]

Members of this guild will be required to share their real names with each other. That is part of the honesty and integrity aspect.

Meh... Everybody know that GS's integrity isn't complete... Huh ?

If you do find some fourm members to start up a new guild GDC I would be interested to join up and be with a guild from the start.
What better cause than nobility and camaraderie.

I guess if anyone is interested pm GDC, I have.

Well i like what you did on your website, & all your work for SE. So i'm really interested cause i think you'd do great for making this guild a nice place to be. Aside, i have to warn you that i does not have a complete set of the cards & I wont before a very long time.

[Gondorian]

Steve99: It sounds like you would be a great fit for the guild I am envisioning.

ArkaX: Thanks for the feedback. I'm very glad to hear you are interested. Having all the cards will not be a requirement of being in this guild, so you're very welcome to be in the guild when it comes into existence.

I was once a Lone Wolf like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

I was once a green grocer, then I took a marrow in the knee.

Needless to say, good natured trolling will be encouraged in this new guild. Enjoyment is not a principle - it's a necessity!
