Runs with Scissors strives to help its members, allies, and other Dark Age of Camelot players through the use of each characters class abilities and tradeskills. We aim to show a positive image amongst all guilds, and a place for all members to feel welcome and at home, whether roleplaying, soloing, or looking for groupmates to adventure with.

   Runs with Scissors, from herein referred to as, "the guild", has laid upon itself, as it's bylaws, and standards of operation, the following codes of conduct. The code of conduct, referred to herein as "the code", shall be adhered to by all guild members, regardless of rank. The code may be modified by a majority vote of it's members present at the specified guild meeting place.

   The guild shall meet in a specified time and place as set by the guild officers. The meeting shall be announced on the guilds events calendar. Those that do not attend the meeting, or are late for the guild meeting and any matters discussed or voted on, shall relinquish their rights in said discussions. Members attending meetings MUST have the "DARK AGE OF CAMELOT: FOUNDATIONS" expansion pack installed as meetings will be held at the guild house, unless otherwise stated.

   Voting shall take place during meetings or on the website in the members-only area. Voting shall consist of all present members, with no less than five (5) members present. Voting shall determine revisions to any guild policy and set forth changes to any other aspect of the guild. Voting may also be used in determining the promoting or demoting of guild members and/or ranks.

   The guild bank shall consist of one members character acting as the guild treasurer IN ADDITION TO the guild bank established by Mythic which can only be added to by the enabling of guild member dues. RwS does, in fact, have the guild dues enabled, taking 2% of all loot coin. The treasurer shall be accountable for all monies received from guild members. The treasurer shall announce at each meeting, the count of the guild bank, and any transactions taken place since the last meeting. The treasurer is responsible for all missing monies, and must relinquish their position should a vote be cast to do so. Guild monies shall be used for guild only purposes. Members may not borrow against the guild bank unless all officers agree to allow it.

   Currently, there are no specific guild colors. We have strived to make the guild cape and emblem as neutral as possible in order to allow any color combination on armor.

   The Guildmasters are VERY interested in hearing what our members have to say, but at times can be very busy with guild and alliance matters. That being said, they have entrusted the leadership team to handle any issues before they are brought directly to them. You can do a "/gc who", or use the Social window, to find out which officers are online at any given time. Officers are told to never be /anon, so they should show up at all times.

   Officers are to be respected the way you would a Guildmaster, and their resolutions are to be honored as if it came directly from a Guildmaster. If the parties involved in a problem are unhappy with the resolution of said problem by an Officer, they may appeal to another officer. If the involved parties are still unhappy with the resolution, they may then appeal to directly to a Guildmaster. While the appeal process is going on, said parties will honor the Officers resolution until the final decision has been made by a Guildmaster.

   The best way for you to have a guildmaster or officer see and hear you, is to post on the website. They can't always be in the game, especially since they are usually at work, or living their every day normal lives outside of the game. The officers are required to read the website every day, sometimes, on their own accord, read it multiple times a day.

   All members are requested to check the website a minimum of once every two weeks. Checking of the website means you read any new news posts, vote on any open polls in the Polls Forums, and check the Event Calendar section. You are not required to read the forums if you choose not to do so. It usually takes most people less than two minutes to do those three things, we don't feel that two minutes once every two weeks is too much to give to the guild. If a member has not checked the website within 90 days they may be removed from having access to the Members Only sections, and may be removed from the guild.

   The forums here on the website are divided into many different categories and there are descriptions of each forum below the title. All discussions involving guild policy (whether you disagree or agree) are to be done on the website not in alliance or guild chat. The only exception is during guild meetings, and guild meetings will take place by an invite only chat group, not in guild chat.
