The Articles of the Saints
This is the Saints Code of Conduct, It is very general at the moment but will be adjusted as soon as the game launches and we have more idea how the game plays and which extra rules will be required.
The Articles
1. The Saints have always supported their members, in every way possible. Therefor it is extremely important that you support your fellow members in the same way. Treat each other with respect, and treat each other how you wish to be treated. Every person has the right to say what they wish, but try to do it with respect and a civilized manner. If there is a confrontation take it private.
2. HAVE FUN: it is of the utmost importance that you have fun, if you are not having fun, why play a game.
3. It is expected of all members no matter who you are to act with in accordance of the Saints Articles. Conduct yourself in a manner that will reflect positively on other members, the clan as a whole, and yourself! This includes no griefing, R rated language, and sexual innuendos in open chat.
4. RECRUITING. we are relaxing the rules of recruiting for now as a trial. Any member may recruit new fleet members, please check the forum banned sticky BEFORE you recruit! Then make sure that you give the new member the web address http://pirates.saintsofsolclaim.net They MUST come here and read the Articles and then sign up on the boards and introduce themselves in a new thread. YOU must then reply to their thread stating that you are the recruiting party.
5. Player Killers: all PKs are held to the afore mentioned Articles.
6. Questing, Hunting and Port contention: we do it all the time, and do our best to involve all levels that we possibly can. Failure to follow the simple rules will cause you to not be allowed to go on group quests/hunts/port contentions. Please listen to the appointed Fleet commander, Pirates is a tactical game, failure to follow instructions during mass fleet battles will get you and your fleet sunk or captured.
7. Courtesy: it is extremely important that all in the clan show common courtesy to all with in the clan, and all those out side of the clan! Respect others thoughts. Respect all quest lines and any quest being run by others.
8. Most of all have FUN! Once again I will reiterate this since I know people have trouble just having good old fashioned fun!
9. Any and all problems should be brought up thru the chain of command. Rear Admiral first, Vice Admiral second, Fleet Admiral, then and only then if there is no resolution to the Lord High Admirals.
10. Organisation. Members will be organised into 'FLEETS' each fleet will have 8 members, 1 Admiral, 1 Vice Admiral, 1 Rear Admiral and 5 Captains. At least this is the plan for now! Fleets will be made up of people who want to play together or people from the same timezones while we build up membership. This is not a binding structure other than the complaints procedure.
11. User Content: User content must comply with all FLS requirments and must be approved by Laris, Toshiro or Wolf Larson BEFORE submission to the peer review process.
