Guilds

### What is a guild

A guild is a group of people that have the same cause or profession. it's like a club for people with the same interests. People and Kingdoms can come to those guilds to use their expertise in exchange of money.

In every guild there's a job board where jobs are advertised, anybody from that guild can take that job and execute it to earn money.

### Why guilds are important

The guild system addresses two really challenging problems that our server faces. Quite frankly these problems have been bothering every Minecraft RP server that ever existed.

The problems are:

1- Players don't feel important. This is because the nature of Minecraft and how Minecraft is designed. Minecraft is a sandbox game and it can be played in single player. Meaning that you can do everything by yourself and you don't need the help of anyone. So you can hunt and harvest your own food, you can collect your resources, you can build your own house, you can get your gear by yourself. You can basically do everything on your own. Guilds were made to give people some sense of importance, they have a job that they occupy. People come to them and hire them. therefore they will feel more important and they will play more and enjoy the server more.

2- Players aren't having enough RP interactions even though this is an RP server. This is due to not having something to RP about and there's no reason to strike a conversation with someone. Interactions in the guild itself and Interactions between guilds and kingdoms can help create some RP conversations. Those small interactions can grow and become a full RP story with time. We all came here to RP. You chose to be in Oracle so you can RP and not play Single Player Minecraft.

### Structure of a guild

1. **Guildmaster**. They manage and lead the guild. They place rules and plan the direction of the guild.
2. **Coinkeeper**. They're responsible for the money that comes into the guild, they take a small cut of every job for the guild treasury that they manage and gives the rest to the one who worked the job.
3. **Guild Advertiser** (Optional). They advertise the guild to kingdoms and people. They offer the guild services for those people and kingdoms and spread the word about the guild to earn more income for the guild.
4. **Guild members**. They take the jobs on the job board and execute them for an amount of money.

### How to join a guild

1. It needs to make sense for your character to join that guild. For example, if your character is a blacksmith and you want to join the farming guild, it will not make sense and therefore you will be rejected.
2. You cannot be a part of two guilds. You can only be in one guild.
3. You have to be a citizen of any kingdom if you want to be part of a guild unless approved by staff.
4. You must have a wiki page in Characters so the Guildmaster can read it and determine if you're eligible or not.
5. You must contact the Guildmaster and tell them that you want to join their guild.

### How to post a job in a guild

1. Contact the Guild Advertiser, Guildmaster or the Coinkeeper.
2. Specify the type of job you have for them and explain it in details.
3. If the job requires inspection, the guild advertiser will go out with you and have an inspection. Example: Construction Guild Advertiser will inspect the place of the building job you have.
4. The Coinkeeper will estimate a price for you and other requirements for that job (e.g. the building might need some resources to be gathered by the resource gathering guild). you can bargain with that price.
5. If an agreement is met, The guild will post your job on the Job Board.
6. The guild will contact you if someone takes your job or they will contact you if nobody took your job (maybe because it pays too low).

### How to create a guild

1. Have a building ready in a Kingdom to be the Guild House.
2. Have at least 3 members. One of them is the Guildmaster and another person to be a Coinkeeper.
3. Your guild has to have a clear goal / purpose. They specialize in one thing only and they're all good at it.
4. Needs to make sense for the characters to join or start one.
5. We require an emblem/ Coat of arms. Use this link
6. Your guild has to be recognized by the majority of the kingdoms and especially the kingdom they reside in.
7. You can only be part of one guild.
8. A kingdom leader cannot be a guild leader, however they can be a member.
9. Open a help/suggestions/report ticket one you have all the above figured out.
