Guild Verbs

"gld" - Shows your current task and how many ranks you have in each skill.

"gld train" - This is how you select a skill to train in. First you type "gld train", and then you type "gld train (skill number)" to chose the skill you want.

"gld promote (person) next" - Promotes a person to the next rank. If you are the master of a skill, but not a guildmaster, you can still promote people in the skill you mastered. A guildmaster can promote someone in any skill, whether they are mastered in it or not.

"gld initiate (person)" - This is how a guildmaster invites someone into the guild. The invitee must have 15k silvers.

"gld checkin (person)" - This is how a guildmaster collects someone's dues. Dues are 5k unless you are a guildmaster. Guildmasters do not have to pay dues, but they must still check in every month. Non-guildmasters can pay up to 3 months in advance, but guildmasters must check in EVERY month.

"gld nominate (person)" - This is how a guildmaster nominates someone else for guildmaster. You need at least 5 guildmasters to nominate, and one to promote. Dante can also promote. If you have at least 125 ranks in the guild and are mastered in at least one skill, then you can be nominated as a guildmaster.

"gld promote (person) guildmaster" - This is usually not used because Dante can do it, unless there are 6 guildmasters present.

"gld news" - This, of course, checks the guild news.

"gld accept" - This is how you accept a promotion or a checkin.

"gld decline" - This is how you decline a promotion or a checkin.

"gld resign" - I sure hope nobody ever uses this. This is how you resign from being a guildmaster.

"ask Dante about next" - This is how you get Dante to promote you.

"ask Dante about guildmaster" - This is how you get Dante to promote you to guildmaster if you have 5 nominators present.

"ask Dante about checkin" - This is how you get Dante to collect your dues.

"gld stance (stance desired)" - This is a way to reduce your guild skill attack and defense power, as well as the stamina cost of that skill, depending on the gld stance that you are in. Its main purpose is so that higher level players can reduce their guild skill strength, to make them easier for lower level players to succeed against, much like the skilled masters are able to do. Gld stance offensive is 100% of skill strength/stamina, advance is 85%, forward is 70%, neutral is 55%, and guarded is 40%. There is a small penalty for guild training in a guild stance other than offensive though. The higher your guild stance, the less exp you will gain when training with a partner. The percentage of exp lost is the same as the percentage of the stance. So you usually get 10 exp per rep you give someone, but say you were in guarded, you'd only get 4 exp per (40%). In neutral and advance stance, you round the percentage down to the nearest 10 (50% in neutral and 80% in advance). Be careful not to walk out of the guild in the wrong gld stance. It'd be a shame to fall to your knees and get slaughtered by a critter, just because you forgot to set your gld stance back to offensive. Whenever you log on, your gld stance automatically defaults to offensive.
