User blog:Saki Hanajima/Welcome to the "Journey" guild page

We are a guild founded for the purpose of helping less experienced players level up and find their way through Ayakashi. We also understand that real life sometimes gets in the way of Ayakashi life, so don't worry about getting kicked out if you can't log on for a couple of weeks. That being said, if I think you have abandoned your account, I'll kick you out (but more about that below.

We have a wide range of players at different levels; at the moment lv 11 to lv 153, so don't think we're going to reject you just because your lv is too low. Nor do we care if you're a cash or free player, we just want you to come play with us!

We don't mind if you wish to join with a secondary account, however I will expect you to be available to mentor other players and to help out to the best of your ability when it comes to Guild events.

Like I’ve said before in various places on the wiki, we’re a relaxed group, but because of our size I’m going to start to implementing rules/guidelines.

1.	Although we don’t mind if you’re absent for a few weeks, you must give me some sign that you are still active every 4 weeks or so. This guild is to help lower level new players with tips and advice, so it’s not much use having abandoned accounts taking up space. If there is no indication of your activity, you will receive a warning and a week later you will be dropped from the group. You can reapply, but you will need to tell me why you didn’t respond to the warning as well as why you were absent for so long and I will discuss it with the other guild members.

2.	Leaching will not be tolerated. If you don’t want to take part in the GCQ event, that’s fine. But if you want the daemons attached to the event you have got to participate. If a pure turns up, only those who took part in attacking the reversed before it will be allowed to attack pure. Every bit helps, so regardless of how little damage you can do, give it a shot, after all, your 100 of damage may just decided if we win or lose.

3.	Pures; you fight reversed, you get to fight pures. For the first ten minutes, those who fought fallen get one shot at it (just to make sure everyone who battles fallen gets a chance at pure) after that it’s a free for all (at least for those who battled the fallen before it).

4.	Searching; sometimes daemons turn up every time your search, sometimes you use all your health and there’s nothing. However do not search unless a certified experienced guild member has given the go ahead (At the moment: Saki, Xiao Yu Er (aka Saff)). We’re all human, so if it happens once don’t sweat it just apologize so we remember that you’re human too (^_^).

5.	Searching part 2: Now, I’ve noticed that members are finding reversed and not attacking it. This is not acceptable; if you have enough energy to search you should have enough to attack. The only case where this is acceptable is if you have been given the go ahead to search by a certified guild member.

6.	Communication; As I’ve stated on the wiki, you don’t need to use Line, though we would prefer it if you could. Line get’s notifications posted to it first before the noticeboard and you’ll be able to ask more experienced players for advice and tips. Plus if I’m going to be finishing off a daemon, you’ll receive a notification so that you can empty your health before I tank it. If you need silver, you can say so there, and I'll arrange for you to be able to easily attack me for silver. You can also post there if you find you're being mined for silver, and we can arrange revenge attacks.

7.     You can use the marking "(JN)" on your name if you wish to, to identify yourself as part of "Journey"

Battle procedures for Guild events 1.	Search 2.	Find daemon 3.	Battle daemon 4.	Defeat daemon 5.	If Pure turns up; those who battled the reversed before it get a chance to fight it. 5.1	Everyone who battled reversed gets one shot at it in the first ten minutes. 5.2	After ten minutes members who battled reversed previously can hit pure as much as they want. 6.	WAIT for all clear to start searching, this will be posted to the Line chat then noticeboard. 7.	Only when all clear is given, can you search (this ensures that our main guns have mostly recovered, increasing chances of our defeating the next daemon.)

These rules will run on trust initially, however if I suspect that guild members are not following them I will require members to use either Line chat or a Facebook page to post screen shots to validate their actions. So please be honest; I really don't want to force anyone in the guild to do something like this.

The guild will be run on a three strikes rule. However, given time you can receive your “strikes” back. Players will be sent warnings of each strike by a certified guild member. There are two ways strikes may occure; 1) Searching for pures without attacking them, without permission; 2) attacking pures without having attacked the reversed before it.

Here's how the strike system works: A player who searched twice and battled a pure once without battling the fallen before, uses up all three strikes. If this occurs in a single GCQ event or GCQ and the subsequent GCQ, the player will be expelled. If it occurs over three sequential GCQ, the player may be put onto a watch list after their offences are reviewed and discussed by certified guild members or expelled. If it happens over four sequential GCQ, the player may have used up only one or two of their strikes. Below is a table to help you visualize how this works.



'''Please note existing members have 30 days to acknowledge they have read and agreed to the rules, otherwise they will be expelled. This can be done on here, on the "Line" app, or on the guild chat by leaving your player name and level.'''
