The Viking Clan

==Background==
The members of the Viking Clan model themselves after their namesake, the Norse Vikings that tore through much of the world in the middle ages. Like our ancestors, we aspire to be brutal warriors and fierce allies. To our brothers in arms, our loyalty is boundless. To our enemies, our wrath knows no limits. We make our living off of pillaging the city of the undead, and by annihilating anyone-infected or human-that gets in our way. 
We neither need nor want acceptance. We do not exist to please the masses. We do not go out of our way to pick fights, but nor will we bend to the will of others. Know that if you f**k with Viking Clan, you do so at great personal risk. We live and die as brethren, and to attack one of us is to attack all of us. If, however, you come offering friendship, you will be welcomed at our mead table with open arms. Vikings were vicious in battle, but contrary to popular belief, they were hardly barbarians.  Anyone that comes in peace will not be slighted here.

==Rules==
These are the laws of our clan.  Do not dishonor your Viking brothers by disobeying the rules.
*You are to follow all Dead Frontier forum and game rules.  
*Don't scam, beg, cheat, or steal.  Yes, yes, we're brutal Vikings...  But that doesn't mean we can screw over anyone we want.
*Multi-clanning is allowed.  However!  Your loyalty to Viking Clan must be top priority. 
*Respect your fellow shield-brothers and sisters.  Don't lie or insult them.  We're here as one cohesive unit.  If you screw over your fellow kin, we will kill you while you sleep and feed your mangled body to the local infected.  No questions asked. 
*Fight honorably.  Don't wuss out in arena or street fights.  No refreshing your browser, or logging out.  You either fight and win with glory, or die honorably with a sword in your hands.
*Don't start drunken brawls that you can't finish.  Dragging your brothers and sisters into unneeded conflict reflects badly on you and the clan.   Let's keep the drunken drama to a minimum, mkay?

==War Rules==
For Members of Viking Clan:
When war is waged by the Vikings, or on the Vikings, we call on all of our members to fight. It is easy to talk trash in the forums. It's something else entirely to go out and fight for the pride of your clan. Conduct yourselves with dignity and honor during times of war. Do not needlessly throw around insults or make a fool of yourself, especially in the face of your enemy. Show them that we are not to be trifled with, either in the forums or in the IC. 
For Opponents of Viking Clan:
Wars will be fought in fair battles.  No drugs, no double teaming, no trash talk, and no crying.  While Vikings may have been "brutal" on the battlefield, we are gentlemen off.  Please, show us the same courtesy and be respectful.
