A new guild system is being introduced. This post outlines how they work, form and operate in Goodsprings.

Forming a guild:

One must be an Acacian Rank citizen of Goodsprings to form a guild. Then they must follow these steps to officially create the guild:

• 1: Your guild must have a goal/purpose. You decide this purpose. It can be anything as long as your guilds activities are not illegal or harmful to the town or it's people: (for example: guild of griefers)

• 2: your guild must have a guildmaster/representative/spokesperson. They will have the responsibility of representing the guild and it's actions.

• 3: your guild must have a building location/guild hall/meeting hall/secret cave where you do business.

• 4: Your guild must have a post on the goodsprings subreddit with information on your guild. You can give as much or little details as you wish but the post must include at least:

     - name
     - leader/representative
     - guild structure
     - guild activities
     - location
     - how to join
     - funding
  

  If you are not sure exactly what to put in your post, check my writers guild post for an example: http://www.reddit.com/r/civcraftgoodsprings/comments/2da9vv/writers_guild_official_formation_post/

If you complete all of these steps to a satisfactory standard (determined by the council) then your guild will be officially recognised as a guild of Goodsprings.

Laws regarding guilds

1. As stated above, guilds must not take part in illegal activities or anything that brings harm to the town and her people.

2. Guilds must not be discriminatory when deciding who can join. Everyone, including non-goodspringian citizens must have at least the chance to join your guild.

Any guild violating these rules will have any number of punishments including: dropped funding, charges issued or even in extreme cases, dissolving of the guild.

Other than these laws, how the guild is run and operated, is completely up to its members. They are separate identities from the council itself.

Benefits of forming a guild

Why form a guild in Goodsprings? 4 reasons:

• 1: Funding. Guilds can and are encouraged to petition for funding from the council. This funding is given weekly, on every Friday. It can come in the form of iron/diamond for monetary reasons or in materials, like stacks of sandstone for building reasons. To gain funding you must make a petition stating what it is you want, the amount you'll need, how it will be spent, and what benefits will the guild bring to the town in return.

After review and negotiation with the council, your funding will be determined.

• 2: Guilds have more say in and around town. Guild leaders/spokespeople can vote on petitions, just as councillors do. Although their vote counts for less (about half a councillor vote) If several guilds vote on something they can influence the result significantly.

• 3: Well respected guilds can and will be recommended by the council. The people of Goodsprings are always looking for some way to contribute to the town, and through a guild they can better achieve that. Popularity and success can be made in Goodsprings through a guild.

• 4: Working together with a group of people in a guild is a benefit in itself. Giving new experiences and goals to the people of Civcraft and working together to achieve them. We as a community can come together and bond as a team.

So form a guild, join a guild and let's all work together. Amendments and discussion on these rules and laws are encouraged in the comments below. Thanks for reading! -DJDAV1D, Supreme Councillor of Goodsprings.
