Eric's advice would have been helpful because all the people in the guild were around level 4. Later, I abandoned that guild and 2 months later I met the awesome William Helmmonk. We still can't agree where we met, but we're both fortunate to have either found each other while sailing (with an old officer of Spania and now Famed), or at an invasion (i swear its the invasion lol). In April I noticed that Will had a new guild called Famed. There were all these pirates in Famed just walking around so I figured Will was the GM. Turns out he was. I was in a leaderboard guild and i didn't want to leave even though it kinda got destroyed. I left it next day to join Famed. Best decision I've ever made. I made friends with most of the people very quickly. We've had our struggles, but either way, we prevail. If ye be looking for a great guild find us on Fraggue or sometimes on Tortuga, Abassa. (You can recognize me sometimes when I have a huge bubble over my head talking about Famed) Joining Famed was my best decision on this, what me and Will call a, "Game"

Thank you everyone! I'm the GM, William Helmmonk (and Benjamin Greasemorris). We are about to hit 400 members, and I'm really excited! I started the guild about 2 months ago, and we had sudden success. However, when we had 117 members, an officer deleted 100 of them. After that day, I decided to keep going with the guild, and have only a few officers, the ones I know and trust. I've been in guilds like McRaging, The Guardians, and Spania, which are all guilds you must earn it and be in the guild for a long time if you want to be an officer. I guess that's how to be an officer in my guild, too, and I'll be sure to be careful who I promote. You can say I've learned my lesson, and I hope to be a great GM. A few days ago, I had a talk with my old friend, Eric McRage - one of the greatest GMs. He advised me to build with quality, not quantity. That really stuck in my head and I agree 100%. So from now on, I intend to build Famed in that way. If there is a guild that I hope we can one day be like, it would be McRaging, but we would be lucky if we even got close to that great of a guild. The rules are pretty much don't ask to be an officer, don't cause drama, don't spy on other guilds, and of course, don't declare war. We wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for our great Co. GM, Datgd "David" Madooko. You can pretty much always find us on Abassa or Fraggue, and we are always willing to help! Since I'm a teen, being a GM is going to be tough with school soon, but I'll try to play as much as I can while getting good grades! See ya around!
Fair winds!
William Helmmonk - Famed GM
