Reputation System

Bellow is a chart of the points you can earn towards reputation. These are all measurable actions that we are able to award points for. This is not an extensive list and the list should be growing soon. If you have any ideas for measurable actions that deserve reputation points please send an in-game email to the Chancellor (Ish-Bosheth).

Bylaws & Mission Statement

Blood Sport: Bylaws

STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC
Introduction
Code of Conduct
Disciplinary Actions
Mission Statement – The Two-Pronged Guild
Ranks and Responsibilities

Introduction:
Blood Sport is an Online Gaming Community. We are a group of friends that enjoy playing MMO and RPG games, and want to expand that experience and share it with new friends. Most importantly, Blood Sport is a family. If you take care of the Family, the Family takes care of you.
To better serve our community we have adopted these Bylaws so all members can understand what we consider the appropriate behavior for personal and group activities, as well as guidance on the structure of the Guild.

Code of Conduct:
Behavior
No member shall conduct themselves improperly in the general gaming area, chat, and Ventrilo. Improper conduct includes anything that would make a player never want to group with you again, thus reflecting poorly upon Blood Sport.
Guild Chatter is the loose banter between friends. If this banter makes a member uncomfortable, in anyway, they are to immediately contact the Social Officer (aka The Chancellor), or if during PVP/Raids contact the Military Officer (aka Battle Master). The Chancellor will inform the offending member of the incident and discuss it with them, and be given a first time warning if appropriate. If a member uses any Chat or Ventrilo Channel to spread unsolicited malice in any form, that is clearly not role-play, this may also be grounds for a first time warning. (see Disciplinary Actions bellow).

Disciplinary Actions:
When needed, a 3-Strike system will be in place for disciplinary actions. This is a very up front and simple way to ensure that players are being respectful to each other and are in no way harming the guild as a whole.

·         First Strike – Warning. Any misconduct or misbehavior will be brought to the attention of the appropriate Commanding Officer (Chancellor or Battle Master). The Commanding officer will then discuss the issue with the party involved. If needed, a warning will be issued. Those members with a First Strike warning on record are still considered in good standing with the Guild – we all make mistakes. First Strike status is a life-long stats; however the emperor may be petitioned to removed it – only he can do so. But beware, difficult trials may be the only path to freedom.

·         Second Strike – Restrictions. If the behavior persists The Commanding Officer has the power to restrict the resources available to the member, until he/she shows that they have corrected the behavior. Once this is done the member will once again be allowed to use guild resources and returns to First Strike status. While the member has Second Strike status they are a “Member on Watch” with no resource access.

·         Third Strike – The Vote. A third strike involves a majority vote among both Social & Military officers (neither the Chancellor nor the Battle Master have a vote, the Emperor has the tie vote, as well as complete veto power on the vote). If the vote passes the member will be banned from Blood Sport. If the vote fails, the member will have Third Strike status and they are a member in “Poor Standing.”

·         If the member commits yet another infraction the Emperor will be duty bound to ban the member from Blood Sport.

o   Member on Watch =Resource Restrictions

o   Poor Standing = Resource Restrictions, Defrocked 1 rank

§  If Officer is defrocked down to NCO, an immediate vote will be held to replace the fallen Hero.

Mission Statement - The Two-Pronged Guild:
Our goal on SWTOR is to offer a great playing experience in a group setting, no matter what style of play you prefer. Blood Sport wanted to create something unique that can provide each member with this experience. That said, we have created a Two-Pronged guild. This is a way to offer both Depth and Culture to the SWTOR experience. There are two “Prongs” to the guild: (1) Military, and (2) Social. It must be stressed that the following applies to Duties/Roles of the officers ONLY, and does not limit how any member chooses to play their character.

Military: We all know what the Military Prong is about; it’s the whole reason we play MMO’s and SWTOR. Flashpoints, Warzones, and epic PVP/E battles. Everything we love about Thowing down will be led by the Military team of leaders, led by the Battle Master and his Lieutenants. This team will gather and lead important flashpoints, planetary assaults, and raid parties. They will lead us into victory over the Republic. The Battle Master also power to court marshal (disciplinary actions involving PVP, Raids, or Guild military events).


Social: Everybody knows what its like to be a new player in a new game not knowing what the heck is going on, or to see a guild fall apart because of abused guild resources, structural chaos, and over/under recruitment. This aspect of the guild will be managed by the Social team, led by the Chancellor and his Senators. This team will manage/balance recruitment, guild bank resources, Social disciplinary measures, and will make sure that new members feel welcome and assist in helping new players adapt to the game. The Imperial Senate even votes on matters of importance to the Guild; however The Imperial Army/Navy (Battle Master and his Lieutenants) may throw a Military Coup at any time to over-rule a passed Vote. (must be unanimous).


Once a member is chosen to become an officer in the guild (by the Emperor himself!) the member will have the choice of Joining the Imperial Senate as a Senator, or the Imperial Army/Navy as a Lieutenant. The Chancellor and Battle Master will then assign their duties and roles as the guild needs. Again, it must be stressed, that this Two-Pronged system relates to Guild duties and responsibilities only, and does not limit any member in where and how they wish to play – As Rome of old, Senators will lead Armies onto the battlefield also.

This system does 2 things. First gives an easy structure for the guild allowing guild leaders to easily run the guild while still having fun. Secondly, and most importantly, this system provides both depth and gives a CULTURE to the guild. This allows all members to bring a new level of RPG to the MMO style game. Not only did you just finish that flashpoint, but you just voted as Senator to save up resources instead of take the next planet – but wait, the Imperial Army just blockaded the Senate building and conducted a temp. Military coup to overturn that vote…WAR it is!!!



There is no limit to the story telling and depth of culture. Who knows, the Emperor may even convene a Dark Council, or appoint a Hand! There are no limits and the SW Universe is vast.


Guild Ranks and Responsibilities:

·         Officer perks include

o   1 alt character

o   Starting Weekly stipend of 10,000c - includes guild funded repairs. This stipend will increase by 15,000c for each Tier of Reputation reached (T1=100, T2=250, T3=500)

o   10 item withdrawals a week from guild bank. Increases by 5 items for each Reputation Tier

Guild Officers:

Emperor:

The Emperor answers to no one. He leads the Empire and oversees both Prongs of the guild. The Emperor is responsible only for the actions of his Chancellor and Battle Master, and not for any other members. Likewise the Chancellor and Battle master are responsible for all members of the guild – both officer’s and NCOs. The emperor also has complete veto power of a passed vote in the Senate AND the power to quail a Military Coup that is attempting to overturn a passed vote…he is our Sith Overlord after all.

Battle Master:

The Battlemaster is responsible for the military prong of Blood Sport. Only the Emperor is higher in rank, and the Chancellor is of equal rank as the Battlemaster. The Battlemaster delegates and manages responsibilities as he sees fit to his Lieutenants. The Battlemaster is responsible for the following responsibilities

-          Court Marshals (Military Disciplinary Actions)

-        Loot drops (and distribution of gear)

-        Organize and lead Planetary Conquests

-        Organize and lobby for military funding

-        Run any guild wars

Lieutenants:

The Lieutenant is the Officer rank a guild member can attain in the Military prong of Blood Sport. this position comes with great power and responsibility, not only do Lieutenants carry out the orders of the Battlemaster but they also command the lower ranks of the guild in battle. Lieutenants will accompany the Battlemaster to meetings and will also participate in military coup da ta’s. the Lieutenant duties are as follows

• Participate in PVP Training  
• Participate in PVE Training  
• Help in World Boss hunts
• Participate in strategy sessions for Planetary conquests and Flashpoint raids
• Observing of new talent and reporting of possibly promotion candidates to the Battlemaster
• Keep order in the military rank and file and lead with responsibility and courage in battle
• cultivate a network of spies within rival guilds

Chancellor:

                The Chancellor is responsible for the Social Prong of Blood Sport. Only the Emperor is higher in rank, and only the Battle Master matches it. The Chancellor delegates and manages responsibilities assigned by him to the Senators. Chancellor is responsible for:

-          Enlistment & Population (Recruiter)

-          Welcoming new members and making sure they are assisted in any way needed (Ambassadors)

-          Guild Bank, Vault, and Resources (Master of Coin)

-          All social and media networking  - facebook, website, chat, etc. (Imperial Historian

-          Social Disciplinary Actions

-          Tie breaking Vote if needed in the Senate

Senators:

                Senators are the officers in the guild that work under The Chancellor. There are 8 Senators; one for each class. Each Senator carries the vote for their particular class pool in which they represent in the guild. A senator may also be given specific Committees to serve on (Master of Coin, Ambassador, etc).

-          Senators are responsible for voting on critical guild issues. Must vote on each ballot.

NCO (Non-Commissioned Officers):

Soldiers:

Soldiers are those who have shown their worth and support for Blood Sport through time and resources. These are the core of our forces. This is the pool that the Emperor chooses from to serve as either a Lieutenant or a Senator.

-          Consistent play time

-           Consistent substantial support to the guilds resources (not necessarily monetary)

-          Leadership Qualities (helping people)

-          Needs Sponsorship by either Senator or Lieutenant

-          50 Reputation Points minimum

-          Must pass trial given by The Emperor himself!

-          Good standing

Citizens:

Citizens are those who have shown themselves worthy to take up a spot amongst the rakes of Blood Sport. A citizen may be raised to the rank of Soldier by the Battle Master if they show consistent log in, and an interest in supporting the guild with resources. It does not need to be much, but even a little support can go a long way.

-          another month of consistency

-          consistent resource support for the Guild Bank & Vault (Monetary and otherwise)

-          Participate in 10 Guild Events (Flashpoint, Warzones, Planetary Assaults, Heroics with a lieutenants, etc)

-          20 Reputation Points minimum

-          Good Standing

Initiate:

Initiates are those who just join the guild and still need to show they are worthy of Blood Sport. This however, is relatively easy to do. All an initiate needs to do is log onto their account consistently for a 1 month period, and they will be given Citizenship by the Chancellor himself.

-          1 month of consistency
