1.When I was a GuildMaster of a guild (2 times) in order to get members to start out with I created lots of accounts where most or all of my pirates on that account will be in the guild. (Short story, make all of your pirates in your guild)
2. Make good rules that everyone can follow. If you have good rules, your guild will be good and more people will be nicer so then after people who are not in a guild when they want to join they understand that they have rules to follow and if they break them they could get out. (Use the 3 strikes your out thing. If people break a rule more than 3 times they should be kicked out. First one is a warning, second one is another warning (be careful you're in the danger zone of getting kicked out). And finally if they break one more which is the 3rd they get kicked out. No member has to stay in the guild, it is a privilege to be in one.)
3. At the beginning (the first couple of days) you should make everyone an officer. But before you make them an officer you have to let them be in the guild at least 1 day or a couple hours to prove that they can handle the rules and be nice.
4. After a couple of days (I'd say a week) you can stop making everyone an officer. This helps draw more attention to the guild and it can get you more members if a lot of people are an officer and then you have some members because then the members of that guild will tell their friends and then the officers will guild them.
5. Create guild ranks such as Co. Guild Master, First Mate or Officer, something like that. No pirate can be the best rank right away unless it is the guildmaster. They have to go their way up.
6. Stay in your guild. If you stay in your guild more pirates and get your guild more popular. If you stay in your guild you could create a Section on here or you could create a website. (I say you should do both if your guild is a sucess, and you want it to be really more popular.)
7. Stay connected. Keep in touch with your friends that are in the guild and keep in touch with ones outside. If you do that you will get even more guild mates! So that means more popular and lets say just a little more work.

I'm not saying this all will work. But I am hoping that most of it can work. Sadly the 2 guilds that I have managed have not been able to stay long. But, I am going to create a new guild soon so then there will be alot more pirates that I will get to know.
Hope this helps!!!!!
