[glow=red,2,300]Founding Principals:[/glow]
We are a kinship that prides itself on helping others. Especially members of our own kinship. We have been known to stop along the way to assist wayward travelers unbidden without any expectation of gratitude or even acknowledgment. That's just the way we are. We will assist members of our Kinship whenever possible, however, bear in mind that even though you may need help other members of the kinship may not be available to you immediately. We shall endeavor to answer a kin-mate's request for help or at least attempt find help for them.
TTB was started with the ideal of No bullshit and No drama. One for all and all for one. That sort of thing. Causing drama and/or the aforementioned bullshit is not welcome in any way shape or form. We're here to enjoy ourselves.
[glow=red,2,300]The Big Three: [/glow]
1. Have Fun
2. Respect others
3. No Whining
[glow=red,2,300]CODE OF ETHICS: [/glow]
All members of the The Travelling Band will conduct themselves so that that they will never bring shame or dishonor upon the name of The Travelling Band or any of it's members. All members of The Travelling Band shall comply with all rules and codes put forth by Turbine concerning in game conduct, including, but not limited to: Power leveling, purchasing/selling in game items using real world currency, or offensive/intimidating/annoying behavior.
Nobody enjoys Whining, Bitching, and Moaning so don't do it.
Nobody enjoys being gossiped about or treated unkindly so don't do it.
Nobody enjoys being taken advantage of so don't do it.
Kinmates are not for making a profit from. It is understood that crafted items do require time, special craft items, and some times in-game monies to produce so a request for materials or some reasonable compensation is acceptable where bartering is not possible.
Any issues that you wish to have addressed should be made known to an Officer as soon as possible in-game or posted on the Kinship's website. Bear in mind that the website is never to be used to bash another member of the kin. Be sure to read the forum rules before posting. Simply post that you need assistance/have a problem and you will be contacted. We also fiercely defend and protect the members of our kinship from other players who may not have our member's best interest in mind.
[glow=red,2,300]Evidence of Misconduct:[/glow]
Chatlogs AND screenshots are required. Be sure to take them. At least one screenshot should accompany any chatlogs. Screenshots are taken by pressing F11 by default. Chat Logs can be started and stopped by right-clicking the General tab on top of the chat window and selecting Chat Logging at the bottom of the pop-up window. Chat Capture can be taken the same way.
[glow=red,2,300]Advancement:[/glow]
Every member of this kinship begins at the Recruit level. To be promoted to Member a recruit must make use of kin-chat (if we don't know you we won't promote you so get to know us) and comply with the Big Three above. A member will be promoted to Officer at the sole discretion of the Leader of the kinship. Typically Officers are those who exemplify the principals upon which this kinship was founded. Recommendations from, and the opinions of, Officers also play a role in promotions.
[glow=red,2,300]Chat channels:[/glow]
Kinship and Officer chat channels are not the place for personal arguements. Take it to tells.
Officer Chat is to be used for organizing aid for others, inquiries about problems (which includes odd and strange behavior by kin members), and planning for Kin fellowships and events. It is not a place for discussing the general behavior of other players (gossip) or things that could be discussed in the generalized Kinchat. If an officer has concerns about a player or Kin member it should be brought to the attention of the Leader.
[glow=red,2,300]Fun:[/glow]
Failure to have fun is an offense for which the ultimate penalty shall be imposed... boredom. Have fun!
It's why we are here.
