On
the Codes of the Serpent: As told
by Sven R. Drachen, Serpent Lord of the Queen's Loyal Armies
I.
One must always be loyal to thy fellow family members and to the
word of the Queen.
A. When dealing with outside families or guilds, it is never acceptable
for our members to abandon or not support another member of FSS.
Unity before everything else. Example, if you have a friend not
in our family, and he/she is in a rival guild, you will be expected
to KOS this friend as you would any other member of his/her guild.
This policy demands loyalty, and loyalty keeps us together. You
always know, right or wrong/good or bad, you have your FSS family
to back you.
II. Honor your family and your enemy.
A. Show
respect for everyone; including your most hated enemy. For if
we loose control and dishonor ourselves, win or loose that battle,
we have lost the war.
B. In
times of War any guild declared "KOS," includes all
members of that guild. There are no rules in war.
III. Know we follow the will of the Queen.
A. We
are an ever changing faction. At times we will be light's greatest
savior, a hero spoken about in tails of valor. Other times we
will be the dark, conquering army that captures a rival's entire
town. If the Serpent Queen wishes something, it is the "Lord's"
duty to see it accomplished. All matters of discussion or dispute
are handled internally and IT is NOT OUR POLICY TO DISCUSS GUILD
DECISIONS IN A PUBLIC FORUM. If you are in a situation where you
fail to support a guild member you will be disciplined. With the
extreme example being banishment, and yourself becoming KOS to
the guild, for a long time. :)
B. Know
that only core family members have power to make decisions. You
become a core member by simply playing with us. If the family
likes you one of the members will speak to the Queen and Lord
about it. There is no set time period, some may never become core
members.
Example, your friend Joe from XYZ guild is not at war with FSS.
You see your family member fighting Joe, and he says "help
me." You don't give a hoot what Joe says, and you help your
family member. If it is found out that your family member was
wrong, the Queen, Lord, or other core members, will see to the
discipline of that member. Either way, whether he was right or
wrong, you will have done the right thing because you supported
him.
IV. Loyal citizens of the Queens Family are to be treated
with respect and defended.
A. Our
townspeople and citizens are not to be bullied or harassed. The
citizens of foul towns and monarchies shall be slain and pillaged.
