Community Member rules

## ***O.O.C Rules***

OOC rules are strongly based off the Golden rules of the Order of the Champions of the Lion. Here we will simply be going into more detail with them.

1. Loyalty and respect; Loyalty and respect for those within the Order and outside go hand to hand with one another. Loyalty comes though respect and with respect comes loyalty.
2. Tied in with the first rule, you must respect the chain of command, if an officer, NCO, or Highlord request something of you, you are to follow though within reason. If issues arise you should speak with an Officer, NCO, or Highlord, whom in turn will bring it to the Order leader if needed.
3. No trolling or harassing member within or outside the guild in anyway, shape or form. Such actions will be met with you being kicked, for we do not tolerate this kind of behavior.
4. When on a character with our tag, please stay out of the Goldshire INN, your allowed to be in Goldshire just not the INN.
5. When on a character that is part of the guild please come into any of the Public Voice Chats when you are online on that character.The reason for this is as follows;Communication is key; that is how a guild stays alive and active. If something is going on in real life and you have no way of contacting us to let us know you are alright, in VC at lest all you would have to do is click a button at most. As a member of the Order you are not a number and we would all like you to be well informed of things going on and VC is a good way to make sure you are never miss informed.***-- Please keep in mind that if you are unable to get in VC due to Real life, or other reason we recommend you inform an officer. Not following this rule will be grounds for expulsion from the Order. Also, special permission can be given for this rule. But it must be approved by the Guild Master or a Highlord so we can mark it down. We understand the special needs and circumstances of others,  but we can't help you if we are not informed.---***
6. Try your best not to talk over someone who is trying to speak in VC. We understand that at times there will be lag, or you will be unable to hear someone but, this goes hand-to-hand with the first rule of respecting others.
7. Traitor Roleplay is not tolerated, reason being is that most within the guild simply do not enjoy it. We understand that sometimes certain plot lines might involve this but we ask that you do not involve the Order directly.
8. Do not Meta-game if you would not know something In Character about an on coming plot or even about someone else do not use the information IC. OOC knowledge is one thing but that doesn’t mean your character knows it yet.
9. If you have a problem with another member of the guild, officer or otherwise. Please bring it to an officer/different officer or the Guild Master attention so we can help solve the problem. We want everyone to work together and communicate. Not be heated with each other.

## ***IC Member rules***

These rules are to be followed ICly please keep in mind that the OOC rule will still apply and that there are IC punishments for breaking these rules.

1. Each member is required to take up the oath, if you haven’t yet, please keep an eye out for oath days so that your character may be considered an official member of the Order.
2. Uni-forms are required when on duty, more so when you are part of the 175th Lions shade. Uni-forms will more likely require that you be in alliance colors. (( Respect all those within the Guard and Military, saluting, stepping aside and addressing them correctly. Even if they do not do the same to you. This also includes holding your tongue at least while your on duty without name calling.))
3. Make sure you follow the chain of command when making reports, or addressing issues.
4. If a situation arises where you need to take action, use violence as a last resort. ((Make sure the City guard is made aware of this situation as well)).
5. Make sure that you are helping out and active with your role in the Order of the champions of the lion by, doing, patrols, keeping watch, and making reports icly.
