Welcome Guild members both new and old

As you may know if you've seen the announcement I sent earlier, things aren't going to be the same here in this guild.

For months nothing has been done, and I admit that seeing it made me feel sad. I wished to do something, and now I feel it is time. However, I can't do this alone. Everyone who wishes to stay, please listen carefully. Anyone who wishes to leave, please do so, or let me know if you need help in that regard.


Under the leadership of Cheep Cookie, we have started as a simple guild for those who love the little fluffs of zOMG! Things have looked up once, but over time we've slowly but surely drifted. Now here we area, at the rock bottom of activity.

But like the Phoenix, I believe we can revive ourselves. In order to do so though, I think it's time we embraced a change. No longer is this just for fluffs, but for all Animated. zOMG has brought many Gaians together. But to bring new life here, I have an idea.


One thing which I've learned from this guild and the multiple times another Gaian I know has tried to get a guild up and running is that when the captain of the guild vanishes for too long, there's always the risk that the whole guild falls. There's a reason why I've renamed this guild an Empire: An empire could potentially hold many kingdoms.

This is admittedly an experiment I have. Instead of one Captain leading the entire guild, I'm willing to grant some levels of authority to those who wish to lead. Ah, with how long this post is, let me explain in the next just what the kingdoms are about.


While you can access the guild chat from the main page via the Join Chat button, this link here should take you there as well.

The Kingdoms

In essence, the Kingdoms in this "Empire" function as guilds within this guild. Each Kingdom will have one sub-forum dedicated to their activities. Within their sub-forum, each Kingdom can host their own events, post their own discussions, essentially do what they want so long as they follow the ToS.

Each Kingdom will have 1 person aligned with them to serve as the main leader. This main leader will have the authority of Vice-Captain here in this guild. Within their Kingdom, the corresponding Vice-Captain has full say on how things are organized, and can promote to crew those who they need to help in matters relating to the guild.

Currently Vice-Captains are allowed to send Guild Announcements regarding matters, but please be responsible when using it. Because only 1 guild announcement can be sent per day, please be considerate to others who may need it.

Anyone can try to become head of a Kingdom here, but there is a major responsibility. While the head of a Kingdom here has authority over their domain, I ask in return that they do whatever they can to ensure at least some level of activity in their domain.

The idea behind this experimental system is that if I were to be unavailable, the guild would still have a chance at surviving.

The Null Chamber (Main Forum) and the Guild's Chat space are for everyone to use, belonging not to any one Kingdom, but to the Empire as a whole. Anyone can use either at any point in time.

The current leaders of the Kingdoms are below. If you wish to apply, let me know which Kingdom it is you wish to head, but unless I have good reason to remove a current leader from their seat, you may not ask to head a location that's already being lead. I will only add more Kingdoms once the current ones are up and running.
Gold Beach: Euphoriella
Zen Gardens: slowvibes
The Village Greens: II Royal Phoenix II
Old Aqueduct: Queen of Awe
Bill's Ranch: Ms_Midnight_Killer
Bass'ken Lake: ServantOfAhri


As for regular members: They don't have to join any Kingdom in order to join the guild. If a guild wide-event were to happen, then the various Kingdoms are essentially teams. Regular members can choose to remain unaffiliated if they so desire. Now, while you can as a regular member choose to join a Kingdom that has no leader at will, you will need to contact me (might be easier by sending me a PM or posting here) if you wish to be an Official leader of that Kingdom/team/sub-forum.

Also, please be aware: I'm deleting most if not all of the old threads. The reason for this cleanup is so that way we can start as fresh as we can.

Edit: Note to regular members: you do not have to pick a "Kingdom" to join. You can remain unaffiliated. My hope is that the various sub-forums will be open to letting others explore as well.

Edit: To anyone who wants to apply, feel free to either post in here or just let me know one way or another.
