The Gladiators Splinterlands Guild Handbook (Rules, Procedures, & Expectations)

Guild Purpose: For active Players to Enjoy the Game of Splinterlands together and Have Fun

Membership Requirements

• Active Players Only - Inactivity in the game puts you at risk of being booted. Activity in Discord helps give you leeway.
• Required 100 DEC Donation Per Ranked Season - Missed donations put you at risk of being booted.

Basic Rules for Discord/Taverns

• Guild language of choice is English (in order to allow us to moderate communication for the rest of our rules)
• No hatred or anything that violates a person's human rights.
• No spam advertising.
• Gladiators is not responsible for any content posted in this server.

Joining the Guild

• Add your In Game Name, Rating, and League into the #new-applicants discord channel.
• Join the conversation in Discord to increase your chances of getting a spot when one opens up (names we recognize from conversations often get first dibs at open spots)

Discord Participation

• Once you have been accepted into a Gladiators Franchise, update your Discord Server Nickname to reflect your In Game Name and Gladiators Franchise membership. Example: IVIaxPow3r | Gladiators II
• General game and guild chat in #general
• Share your great battles or bad beats in #battles
• Share your awesome rewards or comisserate on getting poop in #rewards
• Share links to music, articles, videos and more in #links
• Talk about whatever you want in #social
• Talk specific cards or strategies in #cards-and-strats
• Buy, Sell, Rent, or Trade with guild members in #buy-sell-rent
• Talk about crypto in #coins
• Talk about other games and crypto projects in #other-crypto-projects

The more you participate, the higher your rank in the Discord. This will help your chances for memebership and promotions.

Guild Franchise League Guidelines

• Gladiators - Diamond and Above
• Gladiators II - Gold and Above
• Gladiators III - Silver and Above
• Gladiators IV - Bronze and Above
• Gladiators V - Novice and Above

Membership in different guild levels is based on League, Rating, and Collection Power. Owned collection power is weighted heavier than rented/delegated.

A player renting their way into Diamond, yet only owning a Bronze level deck likely wont be accepted into Gladiators I even if space is available.

Guild Promotions

• Officer & Senior Membership roles are granted in response to contributions to the guild. Contributions may come from DEC donations to guild buildings, Helpful participation in our Discord/Community, or otherwise being Helpful to the Guilid in a meaningful way.
• Promotions from lower level Gladiators Franchises to higher level Franchises will be given based on Seniority, Rating, and Guild Contribution when available (not exclusively league).

Brawl Participation

• If a fray is open, and you can/want to play - by all means, join the fray.
• Loses do not hurt the guild results, but any extra win(s) help.
• Please pay attention to the rules and just ensure you CAN play so that you can submit teams without fleeing
• You are not required to participate in all Brawls.
• It is better to sit a Brawl out than it is to join a fray and miss submitting your teams.
• If you join a fray and miss submitting your teams, you may be removed from the next brawl if someone wants your spot.
• If you repeatedly miss submitting your teams, you may be at risk of being booted from the guild.
• Not submitting your teams hurts the guild in the brawl and hurts anyone who participated so it will not be readily tolerated.
