• Baron Von Heller started the topic About The Darth Side in the forum Guild Information and Policies 9 years, 8 months ago

    Our Main Philosophy is:

    Always be kind, fair and helpful to all players, in or outside of our Guild.

    As Baron Von Heller says, with a shout out to Yoda: “Joy is the path to The Darth Side. Joy leads to happiness. Happiness leads to Love. Love leads to acceptance.”

    Who We Are

    The Darth Side is an LGBT friendly PS4 Neverwinter Guild that focuses primarily on casual to moderate active gameplay. Our main priority is to provide a low-stress and drama free environment so we can all actually enjoy playing the game.

    Some of us are more social than others, and our Members’ individual interests and play styles vary. So, whatever your play style is, you’re likely to find a like-minded Guild Members to play with.

    We require that our members be welcoming and accepting of all players, no matter their sexuality, race, religion or new/veteran player status. Discrimination of ANY kind will not be tolerated and will result in immediate removal from our Guild.

    Leadership Structure

    We strive to run our Guild democratically whenever possible, but it is not always efficient to consult with the entire Guild for all decisions. Major changes or policy decisions will generally be put to a Guild-wide vote.

    Day to day, permissions changes, promotions and minor decisions will be determined by the Guild Leader with input from the council of the Guild Officer’s Leadership Council for big decisions.

    When we’re not dealing with Guild Management duties, your Guild Leadership is also running around, having fun and fulfilling our personal and Guild expectations just like everyone else. So, please be patient with specific requests.

    Guild Rules

    We don’t have many rules, but all Darth Side Members are expected to follow these basic guidelines. By submitting a membership application or requesting an in-game invitation to join The Darth Side, you agree to abide by these guidelines.

    We are a mature, 18+ only guild. No exceptions will be made.
    Don’t be a jerk. Ever, to anyone. There’s no need for it. If you don’t like someone, ignore them. If someone is bothering you, report them to an Officer and they will be dealt with
    DO NOT be a constant beggar. If you need something and we have it to share, you’ll be welcome to it, within reason. (No, you will not join today and be fully decked out in Epic gear tomorrow, lol). Repeated violations will result in a kick.
    Do NOT use bots or take advantage of game bugs or exploits. You will be reported to the game mods, then kicked.
    Do NOT scam members of the Guild or any other players in Neverwinter. You will be kicked.
    Racism, Sexism, Homophobia or any other -ism or phobia will NOT BE TOLERATED. We have a very strict once and gone kick policy for bigots.
    We will never pressure you to play the game outside your comfort zone. (eg “You must participate in PvP, Epic Dungeons, etc). Play the game YOUR way. There will be plenty opportunities for all types of gamers in The Darth Side.
    BEHAVE in the game world as you would in the real world. Be nice to others you encounter or simply ignore them if you cannot. You not only represent yourself, but all the members of The Darth Side Guild as a whole.
    Do NOT be one of those people who’s constantly spamming attacks in non-battle areas. It’s against the game rules and annoying.

    We believe these rules to be fair and easily followed, and we reserve the right to modify or change Guild Policies, rules and expectations at any time. The most current version will always be posted here.
