The Guild Laws
ire and Brimstone is focused on CORE gameplay and RAIDING. Our target membership base are vets of games who are passionate to succeed in the most challenging aspects of any game. We assume you are a mature gamer, without the need for many Rules and Laws.

owever, for the select few who need expectations spelled out, this is our short list. We realize that any rules or laws can be interpreted to suit one’s own needs, but let us assure you that we have little tolerance for twisting our laws. Use your common sense. If you feel or know your behavior is wrong, don’t do it. If you are dismissed from the Guild for any reason, you will not be invited to return, ever.

The Guild Laws applies to every member, no matter what Rank you hold. This includes Elders and Officers. No one is exempt from breaking a Guild Law.

Any new Laws that are added to this list will be announced on the forums and added to this document.

Minor Infractions
inor infractions are annoyances that detract from our gameplay. If you commit a minor infraction you can expect to be warned by an Elder, Officer, or the Guild Leader. Repeated offenses will find yourself stripped of your current Guild Rank. Should this occur, you will need to repeat your requirements for Rank Up and be charged a moderate Gold Fee.

2. Shouting and over talking in Chat Server
3. Spamming Guild Chat

5. Failure to actively participate on our Guild forums

Major Infractions
ajor infractions are serious, and affects the entire Guild and it’s reputation. If you commit a major infraction, you receive no warning and are stripped immediately of your current Guild Rank. You will need to repeat your requirements for Rank Up and will be charged a hefty Gold Fee and fine. Failure to pay the fee will result in dismissal from the Guild. A 2nd repeated major infraction will result in immediate dismissal from the Guild, no questions or discussion.

Felonies
elonies are the ultimate charge for behavior that is totally unacceptable in Fire and Brimstone. If you commit a felony, you are immediately dismissed from the Guild without notification or warning. In addition, our allies will be notified and if asked why you no longer are in the guild, we will not hesitate to explain your behavior.

Your reputation is your most important asset in any game you play and the consequences of loosing it are brutal. The gaming community is unforgiving and will most likely result in you quitting the game or having to reroll your character. It’s not worth it.

1. Mutiny: Concerted revolt against the Guild or Guild Leader
2. Spying: Infiltrating our Guild with intent to harm, disrupt, recruit and/or divide our members
3. Cheating, kill stealing, or other tactic that is dishonorable including misappropriation of guild loot
4. Insubordination to any Officer or the Guild Leader
5. Guild drama: ZERO TOLERANCE
6. Misuse of your Officer Rank and empowerment

Any member, who is dismissed from the Guild, loses any and all chances of ever returning. We sincerely hope that our recruiting process, our support systems, and your attitudes and behavior never result in this unfortunate action.
