The Council will enforce these Rules. Action, such as booting your account from the Guild, will be immediate if these rules are not followed:

1) TREAT EACH GUILD MEMBER WITH RESPECT - This means no racists comments (don't care if it's in /g chat, you represent TLS), no slandering the name nor defaming the char of a fellow member, no sexist comments, etc. Bottom line is use the Golden Rule. I would also like to see this followed when dealing w/ players outside our guild but I do understand circumstances dictate the responses.

2) NO TRUST KILLING (TK'ing), PERIOD - A fellow Guild Member may forgive you but this does not mean that the Council will. If a Screen Shot is presented and deemed undoctored (we review each SS for manipulation via several progs) and depicts a TLS member's corpse at the hand of another TLS member, action will be swift. The perpetrators ACCOUNT will be immediately booted from the guild. This will be a boot first ask questions later policy. I don't care if you're in a chain think before you act.

3) DEFEND TLS HUNTING SPOTS - Hunting Spots are posted on the Priv boards. If a member asks in /a for help defending PK's in our Hunting grounds and you are available you are to go and defend, even if you do not hunt there yourself. Typically the buff bot will have the ports. Please check in on these spots when you have spare time.

4) UTILIZE THE FELLOWSHIP SETUP GUIDES WHEN HUNTING TLS'S OWNED HUNTING SPOTS - These guides are a sticky on the Priv board and detail the position you need to be in for your char class. Adhering to these guides significantly alleviates arguments and improves the fellowship xp. Please check in on your chars as much as possible. If your char is out of position you may be dropped from the fellow. KILLING A FELLOW GUILD MEMBER OVER A HUNTING SPOT OR FOR BEING OUT OF POSITION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

5) DEFEND YOUR FELLOW GUILD MEMBERS - If a guild member is getting ganked and requests help in /a and you are available and can get to the location rather quickly you are to go and help the guild member. If you are out running and come across a guild member being attacked you are to help your guild member. Exceptions to this would be instances such as a 1v1, typically I ask the guild member if they would like my assistance if they have not asked for help in /a.

6) WE DO NOT DEFEND THE MANSION - This is posted elsewhere but I am including it here. To reiterate, until the day Turbine drops the housing barriers Guild Members are not required to defend the mansion. I do not want to hear people complaining no one is defending the mansion. We are about the only guild on DT that gets daily raids from multiple guilds. Some pk's will even camp our mansion. I take this as a compliment as this means TLS is the preferred group to PK against.

7) NO PEACEBEARING - This is a Guild vs Guild server and we will play it as such. It is ok to be hunting w/ friends that are not in TLS so long as it is not in a TLS claimed dungeon. However, If another TLS member comes along and is attacked by, or, attacks the Non-TLS "friend" you are required to defend your fellow guild member and attack the Non-TLS friend. If you do not defend your fellow guild member, or worse yet, attack your fellow guild member you face punishment which can include having your account booted from the guild.

Infractions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. All matters will be discussed privately and decided upon by the Council.

Other Council members please update as you see fit.

To the Guild members, if you have any concerns please post them on the message board http://www.acdt-tls.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1091 and they will be discussed on the Leader boards.
