Faction Rules

EVERY PERSON IN BLADE IS REQUIRED TO READ AND POST ACCEPTANCE OF THIS MESSAGE WITHIN 1 WEEK OF JOINING THE FACTION.

Hi, I'd like to welcome you all to Blade. For those of you who are already members, I'd like to express my pleasure at seeing you continue with Blade. We are a very laid back faction, with our primary goal being to help each other. In any organization, it becomes necessary to have a general set of rules to allow for greater cohesion among its members. This also helps to establish limits on certain types of behaviors and to avoid possible trouble in the future. The basic rules are as follows:

1) Treat each other with respect. - - You don't have to like all the other members of the faction, nobody expects that. It is however expected for our members to treat each other respectfully. If there is an argument or "fight", take it to pm's or to squad chat. There is no reason to call each other names or be blatantly rude to others in faction chat. If a problem cannot be handled between people civilly it should be taken to one of the marshals, the director, or leader to assist in arbitration. This extends to outside of the faction as well. Treat others with respect. If the problem cannot be handled civilly, speak to one of their faction officers, and/or your own faction officers. You can discuss anything you like on faction chat, and use any type of language you want. If however you are using profanity or discussing potentially offensive subjects, be aware of who else is on the channel. If someone asks you to moderate the topic or language, do so immediately. It is the responsibility of the person who takes offense or does not like the language/topic to say something concerning it. If you do not say something, nobody else knows it bothers you, so you've nobody to blame but yourself.

2) Assist each other when possible. - - One of the main purposes of the faction is to assist each other. To give and receive assistance. It is perfectly fine for someone to primarily be a "loner," so long as they are willing to offer assistance to others when asked. All members of the faction are expected to offer assistance to others. This of course does not mean that we should drop everything we're doing each time someone requires assistance. It does however mean that people should attempt to find time to help those people needing it at a time that is mutually convenient. This especially applies to officers and those of sufficient level to be offer the most assistance.

3) Be proud of your faction. - - This doesn't mean that you have to run all over PWI extolling the virtues of Blade. It does however mean that you should consider your actions when talking to others and be mindful of your actions. The things we say and do effect how people view our faction. Flinging insults across world chat for example makes us look badly. I'm sure we can all think of examples on the things not to do. Basically just try to uphold the image of Blade as a friendly and helpful faction. When we get into TW's, no matter what happens in the TW, we will either be friendly on world chat, or remain silent. It does not hurt us at all to allow others to talk poorly about us, it simply makes them look bad, let them.

4) All members must have access to Ventrillo. - - Each and every member of Blade is expected to have access to Ventrillo. You do not necessarily have to have a mic, but you absolutely need to be able to hear on vent. The use of vent greatly facilitates communication in the faction, helps on any TT/FB/TW and allows us to get to know each other a lot better.
