On Calendars, The good news is that we have one! Up at the top, there is a Calendar button. Currently the only things scheduled are the Headstart and the official Launch. So I was trying to make a funny and make an entry in the Calendar and it seems that I am unable to. Is this correct? Only Admins are capable of creating events? I guess then no one could post an event they would like to run and such. Oh the funny was something like.... Entry# 1 = Friday, Aug 24th, 10:00pm EST, OK boys and girls time to set your alarm clocks to 02:55 for the Launch! Us East Coasters that is! Entry # 2 = Oh something about Orion!

You know, I've not yet looked at the calendar permissions. I'll look into this.
What do you guys think on this? Im thinking only officers / moderators should have access to create calendar events?

In order to stop abusers like myself and maybe Orion then you make a valid point.
I guess if someone or group of people wanted to create an event they could ask a officer/moderator to post it for him/her/them/it/the small furry critter!
Thanks! Trying to head home and jump in the stress test. I am feeling a bit sick and rundown today! ;D

I would agree with that, i dont think it will be hard to find an officer to post something for you if you wanted to run an event.

Pretty sure logga has answered this question and I believe recruitment will be put on hold the moment we see a drift in the guild mates (i.e. cliques being formed, people being left out of events on a regular basis, etc.) Mainly, I assume, he doesn't want to put a cap on how many people we have as to not recruit members that fit well with SaF solely based on capacity requirements. I'm hoping to try and start a ton of groups for every occasion in which everyone is allowed to participate once the game goes live, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Guild Wars 2 lives for the group content, and if we do whatever we're doing with guildies there are many benefits. All of our members are more involved with other guildmates, we all share experiences together, group content is a lot more fun with friends (in my opinion), and it's hard to develop cliques if everyone is friendly with one another and participates in groups. Hopefully we won't reach a 'Cliquey' stage of the guild, and I also hope drama will be a minimum. But so far, all of the people here are awesome enough that it won't be a problem with our current player base. ;D

I wanted to chime in on the inactivity. One of our founding principles was and is no time reqs. We believe in "leaving the light on for you". Thats not to say that if an obscure member no one knows hasnt signed on in 8 months we wont prune them though lol. No member of SaF will ever have to worry about getting kicked due to going on vacation or taking some time off.
I'll agree with other members about begging as well. It's easy to tell the difference between a member needing some help and a beggar. Nothing will gets on ToE's bad side faster than beggar. I have zero tolerance for it, and they will be dealt with swiftly on my watch. That much I can promise you!
I don't foresee an awful lot of kicking/banning/drama going on. Everyone here so far seems like a great group, and I'd give any of you the hair off my charr back. I can't wait to see and meet every one of you online this weekend. We have much to look forward to!

I'd be more than willing to toss any coppers or silvers your way to getting the guild started.

As far as I can tell it looks like all the members of S & F would give any guildie the shirt off their backs. I like that attitude in a guild. It promotes good will through out.
I have been an officer and senior officer in a few guilds, I tend to shy away now because of not being able to play alot. But having said this, and I have said this before, I am more than willing to help any and all, even Orion, snicker, even though he has helped me more often than I can count.

Whatever u guys need, just ask. I've never been in such a laid back fun guild before. Just the forums have been a blast the last month. From Dano 's insane fanboy attitude to zephyrs movie trailer voice, it's been great. See u all in a few hours.....hopefully!!

Hello everybody! My name is Stefan. I was directed here by a post on the Hardforums from BiH115, mentioning TheToe (who I assume is also on the forum). I don't have any friends in this game so I am looking for a home. I've played a few MMOs in my gaming career - EQ, WoW, SWG, SWTOR, Rift, but have taken a long break since. I've been itching for a new one and this game seems to fit nicely! Either way, my handle is Stefaun.5264 - hope to see you in game!

Hi! I was brought here from www.gw2guilds.org, I am searching for a guild! I'm new to Guild Wars 2, and Guild Wars in general, was looking for a group of people who had similar gaming values that fit my interests. Dig what i read here, so here I go! I live in North Carolina, am married, and work as a Game Developer (10 years). I play a variety of games. There are a few games that stick with me that I get really invested in, and Guild Wars 2 seems to be one of those My first MMO was World of Warcraft, in the pre-alpha stages, through the Lich King expansion. I was a hardcore pve guy, keeping very tight raid schedules & doing the bleeding edge stuff. Ran my own guild for a while through a lot of pve success, quit, then rejoined a group of people and lead our raids and healer strategies through a ton of content. I stopped playing WoW, got married, and now play these types of games a bit more casually. Few other of my favorites: Monster Hunter, Dark & Demon's Souls, WoW Raiding (retired!), Bayonetta, Metal Gear Solid, Diablo 3, Gears of War, SSX, Final Fantasy games, Skyrim, Devil May Cry, Dawn of War, Team Fortress 2, Quake, UT, Starcraft. Games are a huge passion of mine. I don't just play them for the fun & amazing social experiences, but to study what they're doing, how parts and pieces work, and how I can apply that to my own opinions and methods of game art, and design. I love digging into the how & why of features of games. I'm a laid back dude, generally only play for a few hours at night, but from what I've played so far I'm loving this game. I'm excited to see the guild features of the game, and also excited meet a lot of new people to enjoy this game with. So far my experience has been very sterile, i log in, go find an orange circle, kill stuff, chop trees, mine ores, go to town, rinse repeat. Would be nice to change that up and talk to actual humans! GW2 character infos: anet tag: moose.4528 character name: Vikron I'm an Elementalist, lvl 15 Jewerly & Artificer are my crafts. I'm online generally around 7pm est for an hour or so, then around 1-2am est for an hour or two. Thanks! Hope to hear from yall, and will see ya in game!

Hi - Looking for a new guild for GW2 - played GW1 ever since factions was released - also played EVE online for a time as well. Currently living in TX so I'm in CST TZ - on most every night from 6-1 and sometimes during the daytime - advantage of "working" from home Looking forward to a relaxed guild that does stuff together as playing solo sucks at times. Read your advert on guildwars2guru - nice to see active members on the boards - big plus. Looking to be part of it Ingame name: Shakira Deblade

Greetings! How's everyone doing? I saw a post on another forum for this guild, and it caught my eye. I'm new to Guild Wars in its entirety, but I'm loving it so far. I'm really chill, and focus mostly on PvE. I tried WvWvW for a bit yesterday and it was pretty rockin', though. Pretty much, you guys sound like a perfect guild for me Ingame: Natalia Laroung Account: duckfin.6058

Hello fellow people of Tyria. I have been looking for a guild since release and this one caught my eye. I really like the atmosphere of this guild and overall it seems like a good bunch.
I live in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, working on my bachelor's in computer science.
I enjoy helping people out, whether they ask for it or not. Right now I find myself just walking around looking for people to help out. My handle is BlessedRancor.2971.
