Ranks
Member: Entry level rank, doesn't make yer voice any less important. Everyone starts out and works their way up
Junior Officer - Training to become a full officer. They can recruit and give reprimands, but cannot boot members
Officer - Can recruit, give reprimands, and boot with a senior or cadre's permission
Senior Officer - Can recruit, give reprimnds, and can boot if they believe there is need
Cadre - Myself and the top officers. We run the guild, organize events and meetings, and decide outcomes of rowdy members (more rowdy then usual)

Why should you become a Rogue?
The answer is what you want. We always do our best to help both guildmembers, and anyone who asks us. I'm not gonna say i'm perfect, but I do my best to help everyone.

Why are the Rogues unique?
We're a guild of miscreants, lol. Seriously, we do a bunch of different things. That, and we do some really fun events. Plus, we have set rules, but we're very easygoing, and if you don't give us a reason to distrust you, we won't.

Talk to me if interested.

How long before my pension is vested. Im just kidding but I do wish you the best of luck in your guild. Just for your info one rule I c u left out that is quite important is asking permission to tp to a fellow guildee b4 just popping up at Kingshead beside another guildee who is trying to level his grenades.

That might be a rule worth considering.

Again good luck!

Well, the guildmaster's addictions to poker, blackjack, and fine rums (namely, my vices) have caused a small (read huge) drop in the funds. Thansk again for the rule, gonna edit it now.

Well Zeke, today is NOT February 29th, so the Rogues must not be 7 months old.

JOIN THE ROGUES!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it looks like a good, SOLID basic guild. Your website has more content than many I've seen.

Most people I've run into in the game are already in a guild except for the new ones--and they don't remain free agents for long. So that brings me to these two questions:

1. WHY should somebody leave their guild to join yours?
   
2. WHAT makes your guild unique?

Not blasting ye mate--trying to help you out. Try thinking of your guild as a business--one business that provides the same service as a thousand other businesses. What makes your business worth having people spend their hard-earned money? Why should people who already shop at Walmart start shopping at Yourmart?

Figure that out and your guild will grow, mate.

Good luck to ye, mate!

Thank you for asking Bart! A few reasons I believe the Rogues to be a guild worth joining are-

1. We are a medium sized guild (in the neighborhood of 60 members) and we have active players in all level ranges, from pirate master to level 10 and under. This variety makes for a more enjoyable game, as we all help each other, and just hang out!

2. Our guild website is run off the free hosting site "wetpaint." This site allows each member to have a specific profile, and it allows us to send messages back and forth out of game. We also have a chat page on the site which one or more of us are usually on. The site also contains several guides such as a leveling and a glitch guide, which are constantly being updated. There are also new site projects underway constantly. It's great to be in a guild where we can (and WANT to) talk to other members without being in-game.

3. One of my favorite things about the Rogues is the opportunity for advancement. I can't tell you how many guilds I have been in where the GM promotes based on level or his personal friendships. In the Rogues, everyone starts out as a member, and after a period of time, if he/she has been helpful in the guild and hasn't caused any problems, they are then eligible to become an officer. After officer, there is also the opportunity to be promoted to Senior Officer and finally, Co-GM. As someone who has worked up to a Co-GM position, I can say that this method of promotion gives the Rogues a sense of actually accomplishing something, rather that just knowing they were promoted because the GM likes them.

4. Rules. Rules are no fun, right? WRONG. The simple rules (and actual enforcement) of the Rogues' rules keep a fun and harassment-free game environment. If someone in the Rogues becomes a problem, we don't have a problem giving them the size 14 boot, as Zeke likes to say. It's amazing how enforcing a few simple rules really makes the game more enjoyable.

So basically, the Rogues are exactly what I would personally look for in a guild (if I happened to be looking ). It's friendly, fun, and serious enough to be cool, but not so much its creepy. If anyone has any specific questions, I'd strongly encourage you to ask Zeke or myself.

EDIT: The "Unapproved Web Site" I posted was apparently "approved" on page 1 of this thread... enjoy.
