There's a new sheriff in town!

Welcome friends.

I have a secret that I have been keeping form you for quite a while. You may or may not know that I, Aurum, am an officer in Farstriders Elite. The co-guild leader will be absent for a while, he asked ME to be his replacement. I don’t think I am up to the job, I still have a lot to learn.

FE is a guild with over 150 accounts and over 220 toons. Not all are twinks, we have toons in guild who are friends on other servers that pop in to say “Hi. Good game”.

This is a twink guild of good players. Some have transferred from different servers. They are located across the states and international (we need more on Vent from England and New Zealand IMO.)

We are known mostly for running level 19s, but are growing in the level 29 bracket, and have recruited some strong 39s.

But where do you find information on “How to run a Twink Guild?” You don’t. I have looked up and down and really we are in a unique situation here.

In the Emberstorm battlegroup, there is WKP where it is run like a Stalinistic Regime, DTK view themselves like a family, and JoAT seems to be more like a business. Where does FE stand… by committee of equals.

With the number of players we have, no one person can see everything. So officers will meet and a name will pop up and all the stories come out of the woodwork. My favorite line in a meeting is always “I don’t know why but TwinkName leaves a bad feeling.” Where we all dig up stories about TwinkName and we assess if they are removed from the guild.

Our gear standards are extremely high. This part I am having a really hard time with in general. Your first twink is a hard thing to do. Many settle for second best. It is also not cheep.

The issue is that FE is not “second best” it expects THE BEST.

*checks in bags for PvP gear*

So a 19 hunter with 4/5 Eagle pants and not the 5/5 Eagles will have a ding against them. They have to explain the 5/5s are in bank and are saving up for the Nethercleft Leg Armor.  Don’t get the others started if you show up in Blackened Defias Leggings. *shiver*

*pulls out blades and sharpens them for battle*

So I am making mistakes and learning from them.

*charges into mid-field to test her newly sharpen blades*

Maybe if I am not too embarrassed by my mistakes I will share them with you.

*caps one flag*

… maybe.

*returns two flags*

But remember I am just a well geared bank toon.
