Thanks shark shot

Woot go SEAKING! I hope you have fun being GM! The main thing is show respect and re kind. Also if someone is causing trouble just give them the BOOT because it would be terrible if your guild broke up.

Drama in guilds are the number 1 cause of guilds crashing. Remember through thick and thin you have your family and just make sure you're always there for them. All people want is a guild with a family atmosphere. Have a nice set of rules and guild meetings to make sure ppl know them and so so they can be more active because of the meetings. I wish the best of luck to you seaking

Aye, you have to make sure that you are strong enough to be able to eject a bad member. Just yesterday I had invited these two people into my guild. They seemed nice enough... until one of them started saying, err, inappropriate things. I gave him one or two warnings, but he didn't listen, so I ejected him. Goodness, you should have seen all the thank you's I got from the guild xD His friend ended up leaving with him, saying something like "cya noobs". Nobody ended up leaving other than them. The moral is that you NEED to be able to eject a member. Trust me, I don't like to do it, but I know it is necessary. Don't just let them cause drama, because you will end up having the better, more loyal members leave and have just a bunch of drama causers stay.

If you don't believe my story, as Sharky or dog gunmorgan... they were there...

Hey Davy, can I haz teh book o' secrets you mentioned?

And also, you need to know when not to guild someone. Just today, Davy denied this female pirate of joining because she's one of those "Dating Site" pirates. Bravo, Davy, Bravo.

Thanks everyone! I'm planning to have 5o officers max, 100 veterans maxed and the rest members.

Saw a post on the first page, just had to address...

If folks don't know, the Elite Thievery Co. is NOT an EITC guild - like so many with Company in the name. We're not. My father's business was ruined by Beckett and my fiance was murdered by the Black Guard... Eliza Creststeel would never serve East India.

But, back on topic.

Seaking, I like the idea of setting an officer and veteran cap - mostly because you can't have an entire guild of officers. You need a chain of command. But, be willing at least to take input from other about who to promote / demote - not just whoever asks.

Yeah, i'm not planning to give it to anyone. our guilds has been doing fine, but the fact that we dont have a gm and we are all officers may ruin the guild soon.

Mr. No Fear · #25 01-11-2011, 09:43 PM

I hope you become GM but are they make other people GM, GM are only for People who help make the game

Ah goodness... I remember her... she came onboard my ship (she was a friend of a guildmate of ours) and she starts acting all rude and obnoxious to us all. She then says that she will be leaving.

Her: But first..... hey cutie [directed to me]
me: You like my pixels?
her: yes I do!

Then she starts acting all annoying, and then starts saying how "Eww no! Who would like HIM?!" And then Billy comes and says, "I would. He's my brother." Then she started asking to join our guild. I basically said (with different words of course) "Heck no! I'm not letting someone like you join!"

Moral of the story is to not let bad people join your guild just to boost your numbers. In the end, they will drive people OUT.

We try to get as much people as possible in, but not if they are jerks. -_-
