A Social
Guild in Furcadia has several purposes, but the main distinguishing
factor is that the Guild tends to lean towards talk and events
relating to real life, not just the make-believe world of Furcadia. A Social
Guild might be set up to make real life friendships, help other furres,
teach DragonSpeak, plan events or it could just be a group with common
real life interests like movies, anime, games, etc. You can have
persona play and role-play in a Social Guild, but the focus is
usually on real life discussions.
Required
information for a Charter:
This form helps you
construct your Continuity. Charters are normally displayed publicly on
a Guild's web site. You will post this on a website and then send
e-mail to
guildcharter@furcadia.com
with the URL and e-mail addresses of the founding members.
1.
Guild’s Name:
2.
Webpage URL: Yes, you MUST have a Web site before your Guild can
be granted a Charter, if for no other reason than you'll need a place
to display your Charter.
3.
Guild E-mail contact: This can be a Rah e-mail or e-mail made just
for the Guild, but it’s required to post one e-mail on the page.
4.
Rah’s Furcadia Name: It's the Rah who's ultimately in charge.
The Rah owns the Guild's name, and the Rah can take the Guild down if
they so choose. It's the Rah who controls who is, or isn't a member,
and the Rah who should have control of the web site. The Rah can share
power according to the Guild's Charter but if there's any dispute, the
decision goes instantly back to the Rah.
5.
Taneests’ (Taneestas’) names: Two recommended. - Taneest, (Taneestas
for fems), are the ones who take over when the Rah cannot be there.
6.
Ten Founding members and their email addresses: This *is* a
necessary part of making the charter. Many people desire to be leaders
but to be honest, not everybody *can* be one. You may be sincere,
intelligent, honest, and willing to do hard work, but if you can't
gather this much support for your Guild, we have to refuse to grant
Charter. We also recommend that you consider granting your valuable
time and support to an existing Guild. Charter Members can help the
Rah make decisions when writing up a Charter. After this point,
though, they may or may not have any further influence. Charter
Members can also help the Guild grow, by listing it in their furre's
Description. These Email addresses can be sent in rather than posted
to the page. These must be legitimate players, not alts of other
members and we will check.
7.
Purpose of the Guild: (i.e. Chat, help, events, friendship, or
themed)
8.
What you do in your Guild: (i.e. Write stories, build dreams, make
bots, offer peer counseling, etc.)
9.
Guild Dream Title: We suggest you choose a name for your Guild
dream and make an alt with that name. Then you can use the alt to
upload the dream and have it labeled.
10.
Guild Dream Location: You can choose a spot on any upload map
except for inside the main hall in Allegria. (Screenshot/Picture
suggested) After your Charter is granted, if someone blocks or uploads
in your spot, an Owsla may assist you in uploading your dream.
11.
How to Join: You can use any method for joining, including by
invitation only. Suggested join methods include free-join where anyone
can join by putting it in their desc, e-mail sent to the Rah, an
application form, or a formal apprenticeship.
Suggested
information: This information is not required for Charter
submission, but WILL make your guild more attractive to Furres and
thusly far more likely to be successful.
12.
Backstory: Story of your Continuity, something to get furres
interested in you.
13.
Guild Positions: These are suggested positions that are helpful to
have when forming and running a Guild. These are mostly OOC positions
and may not effect the roleplay inside the Guild.
Note:
You may want to look at the Persona
Roleplaying Guild Charter to see if you want to add anything from
there.
