epiphany *
What is it? you wail in agony, dropping to your knees on the streets. I've got a guild - I've got it made! It's brand-new! It's got a great theme! Why won't anybody join it?! You glance around, hoping someone will come to your aid.
So what is a guild?
Well, hello, kittycatisginger18. I'm assuming you're here for the tour? Please, no flash photography.
What's that? You have no idea what I'm talking about? How silly of me. Allow me to explain. My name is kittycatisginger18, but you can call me Kitty. I'm here to help you with your guild.
Think of a guild as a type of club on Neopets. The members of a guild usually share a similar interest - whether it's chatting about random things, talking about books, or deciding what anime is the best. I, personally, am a member of a fantastic anime guild called Scarlet Memories. I've been with it for four years now, and I wouldn't dream of being anywhere else. If your guild has the right kind of members, it can last for a long, long time.
we'll make the great escape
Tonight will change our lives. It's so good to be by your side. But we'll cry. We won't give up the fight. We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs and they'll think it's just cause we're young. And we'll feel so alive.
Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape. We won't hear a word they say, they don't know us anyway. Watch it burn. Let it die. Cause we are finally free tonight
parts of a guild
the guild itself
The Main Page
The main page is what interested members will see when they go and click on your guild. People normally have some kind of
welcome message,
announcements, a
council chat (where council members can post little updates or news of their own), and
links to the other parts of this guild.
The Message Board
If you're doing it right, the message board is where most of the activity in your guild takes place. It's where all the members can chat to each other privately - people who aren't a member of your guild
cannot see what you're writing. You can use this area to post announcements, too. In especially chatty guild, posts can get buried quickly, so try to keep up! It's always fun to read through posts you might have missed during the night, so that you can continue the conversation in the morning.
The Guild Calendar
Some guilds don't use the calendar; others post every single activity on the calendar, resulting in a completely blacked-out month! However you choose to use the calendar is up to you. You can make it so that only council members or sub-council members can post on the calendar, or you can allow everyone to post whatever they want (such as when they'll be on vacation, or their birthdays, or even important events in their lives). There's no right or wrong way to use the calendar, so go crazy!
Members
This tells you how many members you have, what their rank is, how many posts they have, and when they joined the guild. The first five people (if the council is full, that is) are council members. Below them, the members are arranged from highest rank to lowest rank.
Invite
Go here and enter someone's username to invite people to join the guild! (This is pretty much only used in the event of a private guild, but it can be used whenever you want!)
Link
This just shows the main link of your guild.
Join/Leave
You're joining a guild? Fantastic! Click here to do so!
Aw, you want to leave your guild? Well, click here, and it'll ask you if you're SURE you want to leave the guild before you do so. I hope you choose to find another one!
