IC: The guild is a religious order dedicated to Set. A warrior like order however, where everyone in it must be a warrior. The purpose is to build a grand army of Set who will one day help to spread his word beyond the borders of Stygia, and of course hunt down infidels and Mitrans in our lands.

guild hierarchy IC is composed of 2 High Priests (Shatak and Drakilla) and a General (Phosfericus) who commands the army. There is a separate group know has the Serpent Guards who guard the Higher ranks of the guild and do not answer to the general but to Shatak himself (this group is composed only by ToS) There is also a new role of Speaker of Set, which is basically a recruiter who has the job to do IC recruiting.

Recruitment restrictions: We accept any race, provided they are willing to enter the path of Set. Regarding classes we donnot take POM or BS unless they are either converts or Slaves or perhaps if the person uses an alt to RP. Naturally all ToS are welcome and can be part of the guard if they so desire.

Khemi Rp community rules (still in discussion)

1) Out of Character Chat - Community Guild members are not to OOC or ((OOC)) in public /say or /shout channels and all ingame chat should be in character. OOC chat must be kept to private channels, putting your OOC chatter in brackets is not allowed.

[For me this is the main thing that seperates an RP casual guild to an RP heavy guild. For me this is the most immersion breaking thing that can happen, to be in the middle of the tavern in some indepth RP then someone just saying "((Be right back, phone is ringing))".... why? Why, why, oh for the love of god... why? Even worse is that the person who just did this thinks its perfectly acceptable because they put it in brackets, which seems to have become a universaly accepted practive. I've no idea where it came from, or which clown is responsible for it, but putting OOC in brackets does not stop it breaking breaking immersion.]

There are plenty of IC ways to explain OOC actions:

1) Needing to go AFK:
- *goes into a trance*
- *quietly contemplates life and drifts off*
- *starts rumaging through his pockets intently looking for something and becomes oblivious to the rest of the world*... etc.

2) Getting Lag:
- *Shoes get stuck in the mud*
- "Man I feel groggy, everythings go so slow, think /I had too much to drink/ took a clobber around the head last night."

3) Connection Loss:
- *Looks around bleary eyed* "I think I just blacked out for a second, got into a bar fight last night and must have taken a crack around the skull".
- "Sorry.. I drifted off for a second there, I must be tired. What were you saying?"

You do of course, if you are just one on one with someone, have the alternative of just sending them a tell saying that you had lost connection, which I think is perfectly acceptable.


2) IC Names - All community guild members must have role play names ie. no Barbdude, Killaman, Yomumsux, etc.

I figure this ones pretty much a given, but it doesn't hurt to highlight the fact that anyone creating a character to join a community guild should think carefully about what they're going to name them. Each guild will have their own view on 'nicknames' (ie. someone being called Deadpool for some IC reason (usually made up after they had just named the char something they thought was 'cool') and having it as a nickname), this may be something to have as a discussion and find out peoples feelings on it. In general (and within reason) its something I'm personally quite leniant on in other peoples guilds, though I would probably be hesitant to recruit someone with that kind of name into my guild.


3) No Metagaming - For those unfamilar with the term this means no using OOC information such as floating names/guildnames, level and class information, using people IC information on forums and RPing it as something your character knows.


4) No Poweremoting - Otherwise known as 'god moding', this can be where you force an RP emote onto someone and RP their characters response (eg. a player emoting *everyone in the room is suddenly striken with an unexplainable sense of dread*) or emoting something that forces a situation/action (eg. a player emoting *stabs in the face with his dagger*). In both situations you are trying to force a player into a role they might not necessarily want to be in, a more appropriate action would be *lunges at and attempts to stab her in the face*, here you leave the option open for the other player to either dodge, try to counter or be hit by the attempt (though you often get the situation where both players end up swinging and dodging all day long as neither want to be maimed by an emote attack). Emote Fighting is a double edged sword, sometimes it means you can be more creative with your combat, however, it becomes a problem when people rely on Emote Fighting to make up for shortfalls in their level, ie. a level 10 who cant beat a level 80 in a real PvP fight, so opts for fighting them with Emotes. This just comes down to people batting above their weight and wanting to be a fearsome fighter, without going through the task of actually getting some skills. Emote fighting is optional.


5) IC Actions have IC Consequences - Your character is not someone who's history and actions are wiped clean when you log off at night. If you start a fight in a tavern one night, then expect people to remember it the night after and treat you appropriately. If you, a level80 are in a tavern and lvl30 comes in who is a member of the Royal Stygian Guard guild (not that one of these currently exists) and tells you to pay him some money as a bribe... and you beat his head in, then expect your IC Actions to have some serious IC Consequences. To IC beat up a Stygian Guard, then you should expect to become a Wanted Criminal, if you don't want to be one... don't beat them up just because you can. Another example may be that you are in a guild that despises Nemidians to their core, if you decide to then IC'ly take a Nemidian bride.... you shouldn't then expect to be able to stay in the guild.The moral of the story is to always think before you jump in feet first....
