Err, how about 2 consecutive absences without prior notice? And then 3 absences with clearing from you or another member? After those absences, you would be questioned. At least in my opinion, the fact that the person has cleared it with someone (with a good excuse of course. Not something like "I don't feel like coming.") shows that they at least checked to see if they could come. If someone just ditches, well, that's different entirely.

That sounds like that could work. We just need to make sure we can keep in good contact with the Guildmasters and Officers (which should not be a problem.)

We should keep time zones in mind too. Mine is five hours ahead, I think.

Time zones are integratted into our site. You will see once Del sends out the Pms. So we will keep that in mind :D

Im glad you guys like my suggestion.

del you know that i wanted to start this earlier and mustve found out that i either decided not to do it of was forced do to personal problems... well i was forced :P

i am interested in this and how you will change what you had going against you last time

i am going to wait to see how this turns out but my suggestion to you is to not choose innactive guilds not like my old guild dark past nor choose guilds with 1 foot in the active land and 1 foot out like my current guild fate and fortune

i will wait until we have enough people who i see on everyday to talk to my gm about this

(and no im not saying my guild isnt good we have a good core just need a few more people who can be members and active)

This group is solely to bring about friendship and fellowship of guilds. Just to bring them closer together. Right now we are accepting any stage of guild. Activity will be based off of if they show up at the meetings or not. We have a guild in already that has around 40 members. I wouldn't really consider that active since they are just starting. If they show up to the meetings and participate in events then they will stay if they miss 2 I think it will be (still planning that part) then they are removed. Its not based off the guild activity as the activity within the order of the brethren. As far as I understand.

i would call us active just not that many people are active we are always on around the sametime but its REALY late eastern time like 12am

I believe in honor, my friend. Of Course.

Now that everything is close to being finalized.... we wait.

I don't want to start this up right as I go on vacation, so I'll be opening all this up once I return. In the mean time, stay patient, just keep an eye on everything :buds:

i would like my guild to join but i need to talk to the gm so i would wait a day or 2 for me to ask her and i will see if i can...

Unfortunately you'll have to wait a little longer.. Del didn't give anyone permission to allow people to join.. :mybadki6:

Sorry to let you all down, but I've been given some extra work to do that's going to keep me busy at odd hours over the next few months. I was really keen to be involved in this from the start, but I didn't see the extra workload coming and I don't want to flit in and out as it won't help your cause. At this point, you really need people who can be there all the time. I shall thus sit on the benches and cheer you on from there. Good luck everyone, and sorry again. I'm really gutted, but I've got to put my work first.

Okay Brothers and Sisters, listen up!

We are about nearing the point where we can officially open this puppy up. The official thread I am typing is almost done - however, we have a few more things to accomplish!

First, all guilds need to make sure they are signed up on the Order's site. If you lost the link, please PM me ASAP! There is a thread on that site titled "What do you want to see out of the Order?", and I want you all to post on it so I can get an idea of what you all want to see done.

Also, on the site, I have posted a thread titled "Introductions," where I want all pirates to tell us a little bit about themselves, and kinda introduce themselves to the rest of the community.

And lastly, I am planning a kickoff event for sometime this week, or next, which will introduce us to the Caribbean in a grand, fun way! Unlike events after this, all pirates will be invited, to hopefully open them up to us. So, keep your eyes open!
