This is the guildbook of the Highlander Clan. Herein is written the rules for the Clan. Be ware of them you consider membership.
The Highlander Clan [HC] is a guild that encourages creative role-playing and acting with honor in all things, helping others when we can. Individuality is very welcome, and the council is always willing to listen to any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Various tasks are often deligated to players who are interested in contributing. Members are discouraged from attacking other guild members without reason, but we are never afraid to fight and aid our friends as our honor calls.
For details of joining see the Joining Page for details. Or ask our guildmaster, currently Sade, or a member of the highlander council. See the Roster Page for councilor names.
No member will ever commit actions that will damage or disadvantage a guildmember of the Highlander Clan.
Stealing from other playerkillers is allowed, if you are also playerkiller status, but if a member is caught stealing, he must return the stolen items with a smile and an apology, unless HC is in war status with the guild of the other playerkiller. The player should not expect help from the clan if he runs into trouble as a consequence of his action unless hostility gets out of hand. The council will then intervene to decide what should be done. Stealing from other clan members is NOT allowed.In the Tower on the Isle Hrzlde is a storage room for all highlanders to
contribute or store equipment. Storing your equipment there is your own
risk, write a message on the guild board to warn other members against taking it.
If you feel unsafe, use the riversy or grimstead bank vault.
Most of the equipment in the storageroom is free for use, but remember that
you have responsibility for the eq you take. Highlanders that keep
loosing eq from the storage will be prosecuted, and possibly be demoted to pledge
level or excluded from the guild.
The Highlander Clan also have special guild equipment, and guild restrings available to guildmembers only. Any of this equipment may not be given away to any other players in Austin. Not even alts who are not highlanders.
Any member can be PK or non-PK. PK between members is not allowed unless a challenge is issued and accepted. PKs should always be aware of guildwars or peace treaties. Any member who illegally kill another Austin player without a challenge will take full responsibility for their actions. Be ware that if you kill or die during a challenge, even as a non-pk, you will contribute to guild war casualty count if HC is at war with the guild of your opponent.
Alts members are allowed. If you wish to have alts in other guilds, you must have the approval of the guildmaster or the majority of the council. If you are yourself the guildmaster or a council member, your vote do not count.
If a public known alt of a current member does anything to damage or disadvantage the clan, the member will receive punishment for his alt's actions.
