So this site hosts 3 guilds, Anvil, Thelema and DBC right? Cidius told me to check DBC out a while back, but at the time I was with another guild. They lost all their members over repeated emo shit and finally I left when I realized 3 out of the 4 of the remaining members were dedicated racists (the leader was an unemployed guy who spent his time in a white supremacy group so...)
So yeah, I'm a little apprehensive because I saw that one post about racism and I'm wondering: does this guild endorse racism, tolerate it, or oppose it? I was interested in joining but I don't want a repeat of arguments over racism and enmity in the guild over racism.
I hate to start things off on an unpleasant note like that but it's important guild policy to me.
I believe it's tolerated.

That's a lot better than endorsing it.

You'd have to ask Red Morgan how he runs his sub-forum, but the overlying rules of the main forum and guild do not prohibit the expression of racist remarks. We just ask that people don't discuss "religion and politics" at length, and racism definitely falls under that category if some one takes it seriously (or expresses real racism). You'll find almost 100% of this kind of thing in Thelema's sub-forum though, which is rather appropriate given the meaning of "thelema" itself. I can assure you though that any worries you might have about a group of racists popping up are laughable, any of the racism you're referring to was most certainly in the nature of jest.
Anyway, it's not our job to judge people, and we don't police thought crimes around here. We only censor things that are truly disruptive. We're (mostly) mature people, so I am not comfortable telling others how to think... but how they behave is entirely a different story! So the short answer is that the guild itself is indifferent to all things political regardless of their nature. It tolerates any point of view, any opinion, and any way of life. It does not tolerate anything that is disruptive to the harmony of the guild.
That said, the overwhelming majority of the guild members are opposed to racism, and that no one here actually endorses it... but that has nothing to do with guild policy. The guild as an entity is a blind, single-minded institution with only the goal of its continued success. Still though, for the Beggar Clan, Red Morgan sets his own rules for this particular section of the forum.

Yea it's tolerated, though I haven't seen any beggars making any racistic jokes, but those thelema peeps are kinda everything. But they're only joking, nobody here is truly a racist.
Did you get a PM where I said that I had read your posts and I liked them and recommended DBC and something like that?
Kailas
05-26-2007, 04:16 PM
Yeah I did, and thanks for the hasty and comprehensive responses everyone. I take it by the SotA replies that these guilds are all close?

Yeah, pretty much! You might not want to take every post here too seriously, just remember that ! :thumb:

Hi Kailas,
Surly was pretty much spot on. The DBC is totally independent of the things you see going on in Thelema, as we are seperate guilds under the SotA banner. I'm sure anyone here will tell you that I'm a total bleeding heart liberal, so I'm probably the one you have to worry least about when it comes to racism. At the same time, I'm not much of one for political correctness, so I'm not going to go around and tell someone what they should or shouldn't say. That is unless it's one of my members and what they're saying damages the reputation of the guild.
The image we shoot for is that we're pretty whacky and have a lot of fun, but at the same time we can get down to business and kick ass. That doesn't mean I want a bunch of bigots running around making racist remarks.
In closing, please for love of the gods, don't confuse us with Thelema. I'm pretty sure being too close to their guild somehow spreads AIDs through the internet. How? I don't know, it will boggle the minds of scientists for decades.

Since Red Morgan attacked us so openly in his last post I feel like Im obliged to reply on the behalf of our subguild, Thelema.
First of all Thelema has been around for a while now and whats mutual to all Thelemites or atleast the ones who were with us through UDF and the Al-Gebra days, is the sense of humour. Some view it as being extremely racist, but those people are the ones who allow it to be funny to us. So I guess I should like thank you Kailea for making it worthwhile.
As far as being able to kick ass ingame goes, it has squat to do with how people act on a forum Red. I dont care what your magic 8-ball is saying, but all this forum rambling doesnt mean shit. Whippiewhoopidoo
Red you are an octoroon
Red Morgan
05-26-2007, 06:49 PM
The only part that was openly insulting you was the AIDs part, which you cannot disprove. The rest wasn't referring to you or your creepy minions, I was just speaking in general.

05-26-2007, 06:51 PM
So you can prove the AIDS part? Was it Shamoke?

Haha okay, thanks for answering my questions. I don't know what you do to recruit but I suppose I can just poke around on the forums and talk to people and when niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger comes out I'll show you how badass I am and then I'll join if I am intelligent and badass enough?

If you're interested you can apply @ http://www.drunkenbeggarclan.com and I'll do an interview with you after I get your application. Also, drunk and smelly is a a big bonus, but I can accept intelligent and badass... I suppose... :bean:

Found the PM I sent to 30 people:
I've been reading your posts recently, and it seems that you're truly the intelligent material of the DF community. And without losing the normal fella attitude. People like you are rare in the DF community. I'd like to invite you [name] to my (well my mates) guild, the Drunken Beggar Clan. Yes we have dignity, and we have a special way of working as a guild.
On the other side, there are the soldiers, beggars. On the other side, there are the crafters, patrons. Of course there are more soldiers, but those who want to focus more on crafting - can do so.
We have just started recruiting, but our numbers are rising. You may think us as a ''weak'' guild, but what we lack in quantity we make up for in quality. And some could think our guild as a pass to the clan beta, though we are going to be running strong and alive even after ''we get in''.
And we do need smart people like you. So I would like to invite you to join us. If you are interested, please visit Drunken Beggar Clan HQ (http://home.stny.rr.com/ivycrowned/drunkenbeggarclan/) or PM me or Red Morgan.
lol it didn't work
your response, dug it up
Thanks for the offer but I already hold an officer position in Scary Bad Guys, a guild I've been with for quite some time now. We will be playing this game as a clan (my guild leader is the reason I know about niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger in the first place.)
Again, no offence to you guys, if you like my usual posts chances are you're a very PvP oriented, tearless clan, and I consider small numbers a plus. I'm just very loyal to my current guild.
Best regards,
Kailas
HAHA sooo good memories
Hi there Cidius.
I'm flattered, you are somehow a celebrity on this forum.
I thought you were just another flaming jerk.
However, it seems I was wrong.
I will consider your invitation.
