Guild Cash

==Guild Cash==
***THIS PROGRAM IS IN EFFECT AS OF NOVEMBER 4th at 00:01 am CST ***
DO NOT DONATE MORE THAN ONCE EACH DAY
Those who donate more than once each day will only be paid for the last donation of that day
==Overview==
Guild Cash (GC) also known as "Guild Point" is an internal guild currency system which allows members to obtain points for completing certain activities such as redeeming personal status points or participating in guild sponsored events. Members can accumulate those points and then spend them for designated items or services instead of using in-game coin/currency. Guild Officers and Guardians issue Guild Cash to members via the Guild Interface Window. Guild Cash balance is tracked in the same window beside each member's name in the "Points" column. Guild Cash resets to zero when a member leaves the guild, and new members start out with a zero balance.
Guild Cash Points may not be redeemed for real world currency. These points (while the program is in effect) may ONLY BE REDEEMED for tradable, giftable in-game items OR in-game currency.
This program is not retroactive, which means only points donated after 00:01 am on November 4th, 2011 will credit towards guild cash.
Details of this program are subject to change without prior notice, however points or currency will be allocated based on the current policies in effect at the time the points were redeemed and the details in effect at the time of redemption.
In the event this program is canceled or suspended, members will be given the option to redeem any outstanding Guild Cash at the rate of 1 gold per point. They will be given 30 days from the program suspension/cancellation date to redeem any points after which time any unredeemed points will become null and void and worth 0 in-game currency.
If conflicting policies are incorporated within this program, the Guild Leader will be the final determinate decision for resolving any conflicting policy.
This program will comply with the Everquest2 Terms of Service at all times. If any portion of this program violates the EQ2 TOS, that portion of the program will not apply and will be removed from the program immediately upon identification. Any deliberate violation of the EQ2 TOS by any guild member may result in sanctions up to and including banishment from the guild.
==Guild Cash Conversion==
Status Point (PSP) conversion = 10,000 Personal Status Points (equals) 1 Guild Cash point
Guild Cash Purchase conversion = 1 Guild Cash point (equals) 1 Gold
Guild Cash Redemption conversion = 10 Guild Cash points (equals) 10 Gold
==Restrictions==
1. Guild Status Points (note 1) (used for rank promotions) cannot be converted or used for Guild Cash. Only Personal Status Points, event participations, crafting services, or trading items may be used to obtain Guild Cash.
2. Guild Cash cannot be purchased from the guild using Gold however, Guild Cash can be redeemed for Gold.
3. Only Personal Status Points deposited via the Guild Hall Door, participating in guild events or providing services to the guild will generate new Guild Cash.
4. Only ONE DEPOSIT TRANSACTION ALLOWED PER DAY. You may deposit coin and status points together (as long as it's done at the same time in one transaction). If you decide to deposit coin and then a few minutes later decide to deposit status points, you MUST WAIT until the next day to make the next transaction. Members who make two transactions in one day will be paid only based on the last transaction of the day.
5. Guild Cash points are NOT TRANSFERABLE between Guilds. Members who leave Retributions Blade while this program is in effect automatically forfeit any unspent Guild Cash. It is recommended that you spend, redeem, transfer to another character or donate your guild cash prior to leaving the guild.
6. Guild Cash is awarded based on 10k units donated to the Guild Hall Door. Credit will be given for every full block of 10k status donated in the last transaction of a single day. Amounts donated will be divided by 10k and rounded DOWN to the nearest 10,000 points to determine the amount of Guild Cash awarded. Amounts that are less than 10k will earn zero Guild Cash. A single day is determined by the date assigned by the game on the Guild Hall "Deposits" screen.
7. Members who are removed from the guild for whatever reason forfeit all Guild Cash points and will be prohibited from cashing in unused guild cash points. Guild Cash points for these players may be redeemed for Zero (0) in-game coin or items.
8. Members who are demoted for any reason forfeit all Guild Cash points and will be prohibited from cashing in unused Guild Cash points. Guild Cash points for these members may be redeemed for Zero (0) in-game coin or items.
----
Example 1: On Nov 4th - Johnny donated 11,400psp - he earns 1 GC point for 10k points and the remaining 1,400 (over the 10k) won't earn any Guild Cash.
Example 2: On Nov 5th - Johnny donated 10,000 psp - he earns 1 GC point.
Example 3: On Nov 6th - Johnny donated 3,500 psp at 3pm, he forgot that he would be credited for only one transaction in a day so he donated an additional 2,000 psp at 5pm and an additional 5,017 psp at 9pm. Even though he contributed a total of 10,517 for the entire day - he earns 0 GC points as payment is based on the final 5,017 psp transaction and not the total 10k donated on one day.
Example 4: On Nov 7th - Johnny donated 4,072 psp and on Nov 8th he donated 6,500 psp - he earns 0 GC points for either day (as credit is only given for 10k blocks donated on 1 day.
Please don't confuse "Guild Status Points" with "Guild Point Cash" or "Personal Status Points".

==How It Works==
Johnny Applesauce wants to acquire a new Tier 6 Leg Armor Equipment piece. He checks the table below and finds that it will cost him 200 guild cash. He then has five choices
#purchase it from the guild
#purchase it from another guild member using "banked" guild cash
#save up to purchase it later
#purchase from outside the guild using in-game currency
#ask a guild crafter to craft it for free
If he chooses option 1:
*he contacts a guild officer who makes arrangements for obtaining the item
*he deposits 2 million personal status points to the guild hall door (2,000,000 / 10,000 = 200gc)
*the guild officer verifies payment, obtains the mats, obtains a crafter, schedules the build, then issues the item or provides pickup instructions to member
If he chooses option 2:
*he contacts a guild crafter and negotiates a Guild Cash payment amount
*he contacts a guild officer to arrange transfer of the agreed GC points to the crafter
*he picks up item direct from crafter
If he chooses option 3:
*he can deposit personal status points in 10k unit increments to the Guild Door
*monitor his Guild Cash balance for update (note: GC points are updated nightly from daily door deposits)
If he chooses option 4:
*he can check the broker for a suitable item and purchase it
*he can contact an out of guild crafter to make the item for him
If he chooses option 5:
*he can identify potential crafters via the guild screen
*he can discuss via private tell (if Associate rank or higher) his need for gear and his financial situation
*if a guild crafter agrees he arranges pickup of free gear
*if guild crafter disagrees member must contact another crafter (in or out of guild) to see if they would be willing to donate the item to him
*members are restricted to contacting no more than three guild members via private tell when soliciting free items
*members are prohibited from soliciting free items via open guild chat (voice or text)
*Newcomers are prohibited from soliciting free items
----
Here's one other example:
Johnny Time sees a backpack in Bank Slot 4 (now used for Guild Cash and Broker sales)
*he contacts a guild officer to obtain the item
*the officer deducts the 4 Guild Cash points from Johnny's balance (or has Johnny deposit 40,000psp to the guild door)
*the officer verifies pymt received and issues item to Johnny
