So you wanna be a Drunkard?
Twyl's Rant about Joining the Drunkards

As amazing as it may seem you are not alone. A fair amount of people express interest in joining up with the Drunkards (much to my amazement). Sadly, due to human genetics, there is no printed test we can give to determine if you're Drunkard material. Of those who express interest in joining the Drunkards there are usually a few categories of applicants.

  • The Newbie

    • The newbie is an player who is not familiar with the innerw orkings of guilds. They may or may not be a direct newbie to the world itself but they see a player with a big shining "Drunkards!" symbol and the easily manipulated mind of the newbie and they think a guild with a name like that must be the coolest.
    Oh how wrong they are...
    The newbie joins for a few days, says very little, laughs at occasional jokes, sends a few mistells within the guild, then quietly disapears into oblivion only to later resurface and say "you guys were weird."


  • The Guild Reject

    • These are the folks who have been in the company of a Drunkard or two in the past and found them to be amicable people. They just recently left their old guild due to turmoil, change of leadership, or some other soap opera bull shit reason. They are sad, depressed, dejected, and feeling very alone (our kinda people!). Without much hope or guidance they join the Drunkards quite simply because we accept anyone.
    They linger around for a few days and after questioning "when are the raids?" for a few days straight they disband without telling a soul.


  • The Hyper Immature

    • The Hyper Immature are the groups of often young players (ranging in age from 9 to 17) who (like The Newbie) see a guild called "Drunkads" and think it will be the coolest thing in the world. They think themselves to be older and more mature than their peers. To prove their maturity they use grown up words such as fuck and ass licking cunt dunker excessively. They tell crass jokes and are self-proclaimed gods of their sexual lives. Upon not being showered with acceptance and Ph4t L3wtZ they leave the guild in a ranting manner that can only be compared to the musical number done by Terrance and Philip in the south park movie, but without the wit, humor, or sense of direction.
    The Hyper Immature will later resurface and shout out against Drunkards claiming us homosexual (not that there's anything straight about us) and detailing how we suck. When meeting a Hyper Immature ex-Drunkard, your best bet is to ignore them.

    ...ass licking cunt dunker...




  • The Uber Guild Twink

    • These folks are generally quite nice. They have a main character who is level seventy-million and has ten quadzillion times the money you have and proceed to twink a little innocent character to all hell. They'll join up and after the initial snickering at the weapons and armor we carry, they'll get into the discussion and flow of the guild. More often than not the uber twink will tire of the Drunkards and move along. It is with sadness that we see them go as they can be wonderfully fun.


  • The Sensitive Type

    • The sensitive type of member is likable, fun to be around, and totally wrong for the guild. They'll join and get into the flow of the guild and everything will be going fine until *BOOM FLAMES* one day they'll leave the guild because of some random comment that another member made and the sensitive type decided to take it WAY too personally. If you find yourself scratching your head and wondering, "Why did my guild member just make fun of me?", then *slaps you* it was a joke dumb ass! If you're insecure be quiet and you should make it for a while without anyone calling you fat and/or stupid (no offense if you are fat or stupid). If you can't take a little heat or laughed at your expense then this is HONESTLY not the guild for you.

    *BOOM FLAMES*




  • The Drunkard

    • These folks are what makes my life worth living. They are why I have fun, why I smile, and why this guild is special. A true Drunkard enters the guild, finds their niche, and fills it like food in Twyl.
    They are fun loving and make you sit back and smile. A Drunkard, while not a nihilist, is often enough pretty lazy. The lack of guild raids doesn't get to them, and if it starts to they *gasp* start their own raid! A Drunkard is a Drunkard, always.
    Question here is what type of applicant are you? I can tell you right now we're not picky, we accept them all because the Drunkards have a very interesting system to eliminate any bad guildies. We do nothing, that's right nothing. If a jackass joins they get guff from the rest of their guild and leave on their own. The drunkards are an ever steaming pot of crazy stuff all mixed together (don't ask my why I make this simile, it just sounds cool). The core members stew at the bottom and the excess steam just floats away.

    ... an ever steaming pot of crazy stuff...

    You join the drunkards and like it? Best bet is we like you. You join and hate it? Guess what... we probably hate you too =)

    Certain people just aren't right for the Drunkards, and by trying to hang on and stay in you just get everyone depressed and pissed off. If you find yourself in the Drunkards and not liking it, get out before you find yourself leaving with a bad taste in your mouth.

    Ok I want out!

    There doesn't that feel good? The procedure for quitting is quite simple really. First you type /guild remove. This will message the entire guild with you saying "remove" and basically make us laugh at you. This step isn't essential but it helps brighten our day (so have some courtesy will ya).

    All you gotta do is target yourself and type /guildremove. That's it, you don't have to explain yourself in Guild Speak (you are more than welcome to, of course, so long as you're civil about it) and for GODS sake you don't have to send tells to Twyl saying "yeah I left because you guys suck for this reason and this reason and this reason." Believe me (Twyl) when I say I've heard them all. I don't care if we didn't cater to your every need, it's not our job. If the Drunkards wasn't right for you, no big deal, just walk off saying "hey, I gave them a shot and they gave me a shot."


    If you're unsure if you'd fit the Drunkards, try em out and see how you like it. If you're sure that this is the guild for you... try us out and see how you like it (you'd be surprised how many assume this is THE guild for them and end up leaving days later). And if you're kinda lazy but thinking "hey this guild might be cool" come aboard mate!






    So you've read through this all and have decided you still want to join. Or you completely skipped reading it and decided to wing it (you asshole). What's the next step?
    Head in game, talk to the guild, see who is on, talk to Twyl if you can and let him know what you think (if you haven't visited the site you will be referred here- course if you haven't visited the site you wouldn't know that and would be reading this now- and if you had visited the site then you would've already been there so it doesn't matter) of joining. Depending on what officers are on you may or may not be invited that day.
    If you don't get invited right away don't give up, the key here is to annoy the crap out of Twyl until he says "goddamit ok just meet me at such and such place and I'll invite you." When that happens, you know you're gold.
