Guild Announcements: 8/03/09

When I joined the guild it was because I knew you guys and trusted you.

If I were to be a guildless pirate, to join one I'd like to know the person inviting me. I'd want to be around their guild a bit to see what they do, and if they seem nice. You don't want to be invited to a guild where you'll get kicked out for unreasonable things. I was in a guild once, 500 members or so, and was kicked out after "the last straw" You don't just kick someone out for something they don't know they did, becuase you don't like them, etc...

That's why I joined HSP. It's easier to join a guild when you talk to them a lot, like here on POF. I'm not really good at explaining things, but when I'm invited to a guild, I want to know the people a little bit, their behavior, know the guild rules, and know if it's going to be fun. It just can't be every man for himself where the lower levels of the guild ask for help and then get a "Do it yourself" response.

Like I said, I'm not good at explaining things, but if I'm going to join a guild I want to know them first. Just going up to some random person and saying, "Would you like to join the guild?" doesn't cut it. It's just too silly.

We are having an extremely hard time finding new members. I have five invite codes, but haven't found anyone that will let me play with them or get to know them enough to see if I think they'll be good members.
