Guilds | A L C R Y S T

Winter has frosted Alcryst like the cold blush of a corpse, hardening every surface with frigid ice searing through the depths of its heart. The plants are lethargic and slow, the sky is desaturated and dull, and the wind is a violent gale ripping apart flesh and soil alike.

Guilds

Guilds are essentially an established club. They do not have any official standing but can certainly acquire influence through reputation and deed. Usually created with a particular theme in mind, Guilds are a useful pocket of Alcryst.

[PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Rules and Information]

To open a Guild, post in Invocation with the name and description of your Guild and the character's name(s) that will serve as the Guildmaster, which is the official name of the Guild's owner. The character(s) must already be accepted on Alcryst and be at least 36 years old. If there are multiple Guildmasters, they all need to post in the Invocation thread so their acceptance of their role and responsibility is clear.
Guilds cost 400 Coins to open. This guarantees they remain desirable, infrequent, and a huge mark of prestige. This, however, is the only site-declared expense regarding Guilds.
Guilds receive their own board in the Guild category, the oldest near the top and newest near the bottom, since the seniority grants the older Guilds the right to be seen first when scrolling through the site. The Guildmaster(s) have complete control of their board, including moderative powers that allow them to lock, sticky, and bump threads. By posting in Invocation, you can request staff add a header/footer, change the board description, make sub-board(s), create labels, and any other change you would like. If you ask to add a header/footer, images can be no wider than 700 pixels and no taller than 400 pixels and text must be under 500 words.
What your physical Guild looks like is whatever you desire and must be explained in the board description(s). It could be a simple four-walled building, a thick forest, a cave, a castle, whatever suits your vision. Building your Guild is free. All Guilds must have a city associated with them to help roleplayers understand where the headquarters exist on the site, indicated at the bottom of the Guild's main board description. To avoid clutter, the Guilds are kept separate from the actual city boards/categories, but they still must be explained IC.
Guild boards can be roleplayed in at the discretion of the Guildmaster(s).
The purpose/goal/theme of the Guild is your decision. It can be to shelter outcasts, to steal from others, to act as a slave trade, to raise money for a cause, to promote an establishment, anything at all. It is an IC association with almost endless freedom and unfathomable power; while you can just be a pocket of the site, mostly unnoticed by society, you could also dominate from corner to corner. They reign mainly by reputation and what they can do for themselves IC, holding no official power but with overwhelming potential under the right leadership.
You can incorporate any rules, member ranks, requirements for initial and/or continued membership, and most other details regarding the workings of your Guild. You can force members to pay a fee/toll or mandate certain activity levels, give out missions and forge relationships. Just remember that it is their choice to join you, so a ridiculous network of absurd regulations might warrant you an empty roster. The only ability you do not have is to force members to stay in your Guild through the power of the site, meaning you cannot use the authority granted to you through Alcryst to make a rule demanding their continued membership.
Any money given from your Guild must come directly from available funds. For example, if the Guildmaster promises 10 coins for all members, the coins would come directly from his/her money unless they come up with a different system, such as a treasury, tax, sponsor, or other source of revenue.
If you join a Guild, you are accepting any and all rules concerning it, as governed by its Guildmaster(s). The only thing a Guild cannot do in regards to its mechanics is forcing you to stay. You always have the option to leave a Guild... not to say they won't craft a way to manipulate your permanence.
You can solicit for your Guild in the Classifieds, roleplaying, or the IC Newsletter. You may never use the cbox.

remove the "500 word" limit to text

when suggesting/clarifying what ideas guilds could be: brothel, circus, wranglers

"For all Emporium establishments, make sure their rules threads require their description to describe the location IC. morrene, faewin, outskirt, etc. Probably require the same thing for Guilds. "

have them buy their guild land through caravan

may 17th 3018
make sure they put each guild member's joining date in their roster because we will be cross referencing it when we do the guild relic that increases stat maximums
