I) An Overview of Our Policies 1) Eye for an Eye a) Although this is touched upon briefly in the Joining Tutorial, a better explanation of the 'Eye for an Eye' policy is as follows. It is our principle to give as good as we get to our enemies and allies alike, and this ideology has served us well time and time again. If someone takes shots at us, we bite back just as hard, even if our bites sting a lot more than theirs. On the other side of this coin, if we find a particular unit going out of their way to be nice to us, we'll be the first to return the favor. b) This policy applies within as well as without: If you screw over a Hunter, they are well within their rights to screw you right back. This is not a good road to tread down - the simple solution is simply to not dick over other Hunters. Similarly, if you jump at the chance to help a Hunter out in a time of need, who do you think will be most likely to assist you when you need it? 2) Good Clean Fun a) There are no taboo topics in this unit, period. Voice your opinions about whatever you please in guild chat; think anybody who eats KFC is a garbanzo douche bag? Maybe someone agrees - maybe they don't. Nobody is getting reprimanded for their opinions here. b) On the other hand, bear in mind that there's only one type of people we aren't out to offend: Hunters. If somebody has a legit problem with something you're spouting off and they ask you reasonably to cut it out - do it. We're out here to have fun with each other, not out to spoil it for ourselves for a cheap laugh. 3) Thick Skin/Tough Love a) We're typically vulgar as hell. There, I said it - consider yourself warned. We all employ very brotherly-love-esque methods of play; just because I lead an entire raid calling everybody faggots does not mean that I think (or care) that you, or anyone else, is gay. b) Expect to be made fun of: - for forgetting to bring reagents - for typoing yourself into some sexual innuendo - for having too many vowels in your name - for getting erased by a meteor while flying around the abyss c) Don't take it to heart. We love you, I promise - but it is a very important unwritten law that we cannot compliment you without first bringing you down a couple pegs. Remember that. Also remember that being brought down a couple pegs does not necessarily mean praise is coming, you might just be an easy target - but we do love you just the same. 4) Honesty a) I cannot stress this enough: just be honest. It won't hurt you, really it won't. If you mess something up and you get called out on it - unless you do this every Tuesday religiously, we're just making sure you understand the mistake so you don't repeat it. Don't lie to me or another Reaver simply to save face for a couple days - I can tell you from experience that the expression "everything comes out in the wash" applies here. Sooner or later, the truth will come out; and if it doesn't match your story, you may as well start tying the rope now. b) Nobody is gonna hate your guts for your mistakes unless you make an ordeal out of getting you to admit it every time. We didn't like doing research in school and we don't like doing it now, we will be a million times less upset if you don't make us do it. Spare us the trouble of finding the truth (and believe us, we -will- find the truth.) and we will spare you the pain of having the hammer being dropped on your skull at full velocity. II) Hunter-isms 1) "No one of us is more important than all of us." a) This saying is pretty key to our survival - do what's best for the unit. If something is more beneficial for all of us one way, although more beneficial for you as an individual another way, you would accomplish a great deal more by sacrificing a little bit of personal gain for a lot of gain as a group. 2) "It's never the crime, it's always the cover up" a) Can't really be more true than this, you never get slammed over what you do, you get slammed for what you did to hide it.
