◆ Represent ◆ Representing [ÈFm] is 100% desired, but only 50% required.Representing benefits all members, by advertising the ÈFm Guild Name for non-members to see. Representing ÈFm as a default, or for the majority of yourplaytime, shows loyalty to our Guild. Players get curious about a Guild they seeoften.It is unfair to Dedicated Members, if you Represent ÈFm, only when it benefitsyou. If you never want to play with us, there is no need to remain on our roster. ◆ Activity ◆Real life comes first. If you will not be returning to the game for a given period oftime, post this information in our Leave Of Absence section of our Forums. We donot need details, only dates of expected absences.

In addition, Inactive Accounts that have reached 4 Months will beremoved from the Roster, and sent an in-game mail Welcoming their return, withpending Guild invite. This is not a personal act on anyone that is absent. Thepurpose is to keep our roster fresh. Players feel good about their Guild, no mattertotal number of members, when logging in and seeing everyone active.

◆ Internal Transactions and Guild Bank ◆No begging. Not in Guild Chat, not in Teamspeak3, not in General Chat. It reflectsbadly on you as a player, and it reflects badly on our community.  If you place currency or anything at all, into the Guild Bank, consider it deleted. If a new member cleans it out and leaves the Guild, end of story.  If any appointed member liquidates it for Guild related activities, end of story.If you \"lend\" or \"give\" anything to anyone, consider it deleted and end of story.
