Clan MacLear - Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

MacLear: Vanguard

"The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong... but time and chance happen to them all."

Clan MacLear is a roleplay guild, essentially. We began on September 30^th, 1997, as Hand of Virtue in a game called Ultima Online with the greeting, "Mi faultich thu co sàor neach !"

Make sure you've thought about this. This is a very long-term decision.

If so, "mi fàultich thu co saor neach."

Failte, and be of good heart ye who wish to claim lineage among The People of Lear.

Be ye warned hereby that if ye be of those who do not wish to join with us in the spirit and times of whatever game interests ye, including but not limited to having a name that is appropriate and behaving more or less in character or bring with ye lies, deceit, division, selfishness or any other foul spirit, go no further. We are of those who call themselves honorable and whose characters remain in the spirit of the auld days. Should ye be one of those who call of themselves eL1T3 d00dz or any other of the followers of The Twisted one, we will turn upon you and you shall be from us outcast forever.

Come amongst us with a positive attitude and generally positive comments or come not at all. There is much in the real world that is negative and there is much about our lives imperfect, but we come not here rant on such things, but to enjoy our lives together, to defeat our enemies and help our friends.

The process of joining is as follows:

• First, you must fill out every question in the form below. Some of the questions have answers that are found on this site. When you have completed the form, press the Submit Application button at the bottom.
• Once your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by our officers. We prefer to contact applicants in-game.
• Once you have a primary character in Siol Lear, your other family members (alts) will be admitted automatically.

Finally, we have a few rules:

• Officers (called Senators) have complete authority to enforce these rules.
• Do not speak ill of your sister or brother except to them privately or in private complaint to an officer.
• Conduct yourself in a manner that will bring honor to MacLear in everything you do or say. When you have the MacLear tag above your head, you represent something. If you are using a public channel to speak, please keep it to in game subjects. Anything you say reflects on us all.
• Obey our Laird and the officers appointed.
• The guild channel is to be kept in character as much as is possible. This channel is for in game subjects ONLY.
• No one is here to force people to speak with ye's, thou's, etc. Keeping in character doesn't mean you have to use the "accents of the past", but it does mean stop using abbreviations for please, thank you, you, etc. It also means to stop talking about real world stuff. How you choose to communicate with others tells them how you choose to respect them.
• If you feel a need to speak with people out-of-character, then use a chat group or /tells. Limited out-of-character talk will be tolerated on guild chat channels, but please use the "ooc" to start the sentence off as a show of respect.
• Participate in guild events. Plain and simple. If you don't enjoy guild events, don't help your guildmates, there is no reason to be in the guild to begin with. Participation includes keeping up with the message board. Please read it at least once a week.
• This is the most important rule: HAVE FUN, and do all that you can to HELP OTHERS HAVE FUN!

Once you have submitted the application, if you have not heard from an officer in five days, contact an officer in-game. Please make sure that your email address is accurate and that you include your character name in the application! All person information will be retained only by the officers.
