1.) This guild is not democratic. Only Wraith & Zypherius or the Triumvirate may give instructions. If none of these individuals can be attained, you are authorized to make “time critical” decisions if necessary. You may only make these decisions when the issues pertain solely to you! You may not give instructions to other members!
2.) All members are required to register and use our off-site forums. The forums exist to provide organization, share our views, review strategy and allow you to use the guild options like jump gates with utmost efficiency.
a. All members MUST provide a list of their base names / coordinates to leadership via an in-game PM. (Send this info to Zypherius or Wraith This information will be stored in a secure section of our forum in order to allow us to better plan our tactics. The thread will only be made available to forum administration for security reasons.
b. All members must post their Jump Gate coordinates/levels & keep them updated.
3.) If attacked by a “Guilded” player, you will report the incident immediately to one of the leaders mentioned in section one. You will need to save all Battle Reports and communications, as they will be used later in negotiations with the offender’s guild. Leadership will attempt to contact the offending member and his/her Guild Leader/Diplomat in an attempt to resolve the matter diplomatically. We will force reparations only after exhausting diplomatic means.
4.) All members are required to build heavy defenses on all of their bases. Recommended defenses: 1 level each each of Disruptor Turrets & D-shields plus 3 levels each of P-Rings & P-Shields and 10-20 CC. You must also have at least 5 fighters on your base within 24 hours of colonizing to protect it from piracy. After 1 week, you must have a minimum of 500 fighters.
5.) A member that has not logged in for 10000 minutes or longer will be removed from the guild and the bases will be occupied. You should log in at least once per day. Advise leadership if you will be going on vacation or unable to log in for extended periods of time, to be exempt from this rule.
6.) Try to trade internally with other guild members before going to other players. This benefits the guild as a whole and secures your routes in case of wars.
7.) No member should Flame or Spam the official Astro Empires Forum in the name of BLOOD. An official spokesman will post for BLOOD in the forum. Treat all other players with respect no matter what they do to you.
8.) Farming policies
a.Attack & farm unguilded players “Indies” at will. Single player guilds are not considered guilds.
b. Attacks on guilded players are considered a private War. DO NOT expect any support from the Guild DIPLOMATICALLY or MILITARILY. You must deal with the consequences by yourself. Such actions are not supported by the Guild.
c. Do not attack guilds we are allied with or their allies. Any such attacks will be met with harsh punishment to be determined by leadership based on the circumstances.
