| Mission Statement
Dark Lords is an all Imperial guild with the objective of promoting, protecting, and maintaining Imperial interests with integrity and honor. We are a community of adult, mature, veteran gamers. We seek to make our guild community the strongest, most well known, and most successful gaming community in the history of SWG. We are dedicated to a friendly, team focused, fun-loving gaming environment where every member is important and not just a number on a roster. We seek to foster long term friendships among members and enhance the online gaming experience by virtue of those friendships.
Rules & Regulations
Dark Lords accepts members into its ranks that are of similar personalities, goals and values to its own. All of our members support and follow our core guild rules and anyone who cannot, is removed. Our core rules and values have served us well since 2003 and continue to be the guiding principles behind moving the guild forward. Our core rules include, but are not limited to:
Guild First: We expect all members to ensure that all actions they take are done in the mindset of 'guild first'. Anything a member does reflects on the overall guild image and on all fellow members. We expect members to only take actions that reflect positively on the guild image that we have worked very hard to build and maintain over the years.
We are an Imperial guild. Neutral players may be recruited however they are expected to become Imperial within a reasonable amount of time. If earning enough faction points is a problem the points will be given so that the player may join the Empire.
We recruit the PERSON not the TOON. We look for good PEOPLE not only a toon that meets a specific set of requirements. As such members of Dark Lords cannot be a member of any other guild.
It is not permitted to relay any information outside the guild, for any reason, at any time. Dark Lords is a private gaming organization. We do not share information with the public except through official channels and officially sanctioned outlets. Therefore no member should reveal any information, no matter how minor they may think it is, outside the guild.
Participate In Guild Events. Hunts, Raids, Events and other in game activities occur all the time. You are expected to take place in as many of them as possible. We understand people have lives and cannot live within the online world and that is ok. But if you are online, and we are having a guild event of some sort, you need to be there and participating in it. Actively working against the guild on any mission will result in immediate and permanent removal.
Leadership roles in Dark Lords are decided based on demonstrated ability as well as the need for a leader in a particular spot. You can be assured that your leaders are working hard to make the game more fun for you. While the reason behind every decision may not always be apparent at the moment an order is issued, all orders from officers need to be immediately followed. If errors are made, they should be reported to Kagekira where they will be dealt with and, if needed, changes made to the officer team. Absent those changes, all officers should be listened to as though it were The Dark Lord issuing the order.
We are a TEAM of FRIENDS. Backing up your guild mates is expected because they will do the same for you. Dark Lords members understand that sometimes personal character sacrifice is needed for the team to complete a mission. We don't view it as personal sacrifice, however, because we are helping out a friend and that is more important than loot or pixels on a screen. Events come and go, Dark Lords and the friendships within it, remain.
Deadweight is not needed in the guild. Failure to maintain an acceptable level of activity will result in your removal. We do have an "inactive" status for members who are retired from SWG and wish to join us in the future.
Leaving the guild using the /guildremove command will result in being banned from guild membership. If you use this command you will never be allowed to rejoin and will be considered an enemy of Dark Lords.
Members who cannot follow core rules and standards are removed from the guild.
Standards Of Conduct
These standards go hand in hand with our core guild rules but they bear repeating so all future members understand what we expect from members. Those standards of conduct include, but are not limited to:
Members may not use cheats or exploits
Upholding of all guild values and rules is required of all members. There are no exceptions all members must maintain the values of the guild.
Members need to behave in a mature, professional, team focused manner. Self focused, loot focused, immature people will not be tolerated.
Make friends in the guild. At our core we are a Team Of Friends. So make friends. Those friendships make us strong.
Any issues with guild policies are brought directly to Kagekira 1 on 1, via game mail. Publically bashing or complaining about them is not tolerated.
Personal attacks on other members is not permitted. Handle issues with another player 1 on 1, in a mature professional way. Seek an officers help if needed but do not personally attack other members.
Backstabbing, looting, stealing from, scamming or otherwise harming other members is not permitted. It all goes back to our core value that we are a team of friends.
Profanity.. sexual content.. and obscene content are not needed or permitted in guild channel in game.
If a guild officer tells you to do something, do it immediately. Do not argue or complain to them and definitely do not get nasty with them or removal will occur.
Guild Structure
Dark Lords format for guild leadership is that of a Monarchy. There is one overall GL of the guild, The Dark Lord. All decisions are ultimately made or ratified by him. The responsibility for incorrect decisions is also held by him. With that said, decisions are not made without careful consideration. Instead The Dark Lord applies past experiences of the guild, feedback from squad leaders and other officers and feedback from members as the situation warrants. The overall goal of all decisions is to make Dark Lords the best guild possible for all members. So we term the style of guild as a 'benevolent Monarchy.' Feedback from members is encouraged regularly and plays a large part in the decision making process. All members know The Monarchy and their squad leaders have an open door policy and that anything presented in a respectful manner is read, considered and weighs into final decisions.
