The ePeen Law **Know It - Live it

Any member found in breach of the rules below may find themselves removed from the guild.

These rules are in place to ensure that your experience with ePeen and with each-other is as fun and as organized as possible.

1. Ventrilo

   * A working gaming headset and a copy of Ventrilo are MANDATORY for all ePeen members.
   * All members are required to be on Ventrilo when in game. This will be strictly enforced and could lead to a guild removal. If you like to listen to music while gaming please hang out in the AFK channel so you could be easily drug into a channel if needed.
   * There isn't a requirement to speak on Ventrilo but it is highly encouraged. Community is a big thing here so get to know your teammates.
   * All raiding and PvP instructions will be issued via Ventrilo so the ability to hear and follow instructions in English is vital to successful operations

2. Recruitment

   * All new recruits start in a no less than 3 week (21 days) trial period, during this period officers of the guild will decide if the recruit is of ePeen standard. This will be based on forum activity, communication via Ventrilo, conduct in game, and helpfulness to the Guild and Guildies, Guild contributions via the tax system in materials and gold and the all around ability of the recruit to fuction on the ePeen team.

3. Inactivity

   * ePeen members who are simply unable to participate in the game for any reason will be moved to an inactive list until they are able to return to active involvement.
   * They will be removed from the Guild if gone for more than 3 weeks without prior warning.
   * Please make a post on the forums if you are going to be absent from the game for an extended period of time this will save you being inadvertently kicked from the guild.

4. Disruptive Behavior

   * An excessive amount of complaining, non-constructive criticism, arguing within the Guild, etc., will result in removal from the ePeen. This does not mean that members can never complain, criticize or argue just don't be that guy. If someone says in Vent something like "damn dude, you complain alot" take that as a hint. You just turned into "that guy".
   * The keyword here is "excessive" meaning that it reaches the point where it affects Guild cohesiveness or productivity. Any Guild member that engages in excessively disruptive behavior will receive a cautionary warning first, and if that behavior continues, they will be removed from ePeen.
   * Drama is cancer. We will remove cancer with a quickness in ePeen.

5. Player Quality

   * ePeen has a standard of quality play that we intend to maintain. If any Guild member is found to be extremely lacking in their skills, they may be voted on to be removed from the Guild. The important phrase here is "extremely lacking"

6. No Cliques

   * We will not allow special cliques to form within the Guild. Everyone on the team should get to know all of the other ePeen members, and be equally helpful to all of them. For balanced grouping purposes, the Officers may have to adjust groups so that all guild members get a fair group when they play.

7. No Idiotic Public Posts

   * If you want to act like a fool, we have private boards for you to do that. Do not make us look stupid on public forums. Remember, you are no only a reflection of yourself but also everyone in ePeen. You are an ambassador of the Guild.

8. Respect Your Guild Members

   * You are required to treat other members of the Guild with respect. How you actually feel about them is not relevant, but your behavior is. Feel free to interact with anyone outside of the Guild however you like, as long as it doesn't violate any of the guild rules and doesn't look bad against the team.

9. Dedication

   * You are a member of ePeen and therefore are not allowed to be a member of any other Guild or Organization on the server without prior permission from the officers. This rule also includes the distribution of information specific to Guild tactics or tips.

10. ePeen Forums

   * All members are required to read ePeen Forums on a regular basis. The forums are the main conduit for information within the Guild and therefore not keeping up to date with the forums means that you are uninformed!

11. Taxes

   * Members are required to pay weekly taxes in gold and materials. The amount will be published in future posts or in the in-game message of the day (MOTD). Contribution to the guild is important and will ensure success in our guild endeavors. A Guild treasurer will be identified and all contributions will be made through him/her.

12. Age restriction

   * ePeen enforces an age restriction of 18 years and older.
