The Teutons Newbie's Guide / Recruiting Manual for Mentors
Welcome to our guild!
If you have never been in another guild before, you will get a little
jump start here. This way you save us and yourself from unnecessary
questions and problems.
Your first day as a Teuton
You can accept the invitation to our guild on our guild page. To do so,
you must be logged in on www.tibia.com and visit the site Teutons
Reloaded. Your character's name should stand at the very bottom of
the page, right in the section "Invited Players". Click on the "Join
guild" button to acknowledge the invitation.
If you are currently logged in on Nova while accepting the invitation,
you have to log out and log in again to complete the joining process.
Look at you character and be proud: You are a Recruit of the Teutons
Reloaded.
Using the member call
Just like every other guild we have a member call. This is a chat room
where only Teutons Reloaded can join.
Click on the registry card symbol at the top right of the client's chat
window. Choose the channel "Teutons Reloaded" and open it. It is
considered polite to say "Hello" in the member call if you visit Tibia
and to say Goodbye if you leave again.
Even if you don't know everybody in the beginning of your membership,
you should take part in the guild chat from time to time. Don't be
afraid of asking a question. Nobody of us knew the meaning of BoH, how
to change gold into platinum coins or where Kazordoon is, once he/she
started to play Tibia. If you log in the next time, the member call
will automatically be opened. You can switch between the chat windows
with the Tab key on your keyboard. Anyway, even experienced members
manage to say "hi", "change gold" etc. in the member call accidently.
Using the Forum
If you log in on www.tibia.com and go to
the forum site (www.tibia.com/forum/index.php),
there will be a new section "Private Guild Boards" at the very bottom
of the page. You can reach the guild's forum this way. It is your duty
to read this forum from time to time in order to keep pace with the
current happenings inside and outside the guild. Nobody likes to answer
questions which have already been answered in the forum.
The usage of the forum is quite simple. Normally, there shouldn't be
any problems. Check it out instantly and introduce yourself in a new
thread!
General behaviour directives (with PKs, in the guild etc.)
Being a Teuton means to behave friendly and sensibly. Don't say
anything without thinking beforehand. Abusing, insulting,
discriminating and mobbing within our guild will be punished
consequently (warning, penalty, guild kick). Inadequate and imprudent
behaviour is absolutely not arguable, be it inside or outside the
guild. Killing other players (PKing) prematurely and/or without reason
is strictly forbidden, just like theft, insults or otherwise agressive
behaviour is/are.
At the other hand, you should always be as open-minded, as helpful and
as nice as possible to others. Of course, nobody will take it amiss if
you cannot help pushing anybody's lootbag because you are in the middle
of a warlock hunt ;) . Keep always in mind that your behaviour towards
other people is permanently formative concerning the guild's image,
which we aren't willing to lose in any case.
If you have been killed by another player, keep calm and don't
forejudge anything. Be sure that you have evidences for that crime
(witnesses, screenshots) and talk to us in the member call. We will try
to get in contact with the PK, talk to him/her and demand a
compensation if necessary. The bad guy will be hunted NOT UNTIL every
diplomacy has failed. Only leader and councellors may decide to put
someone on the "black list".
The dimensions of the "hunting season" will be set in accordance to the
PK's cruelty and (maybe) previous recordings. Anyway, always keep the
official Tibia rules in mind! If you should want to revenge a friend by
killing somebody else, you have to announce this in our forum. Always
keep in mind that you aren't allowed to interfere without evidences,
because the whole guild can be made responsible for your actions in the
worst case!
Behaviour in the guild hall (GH)
Our first guild hall, the Granite Guildhall, is in Kazordoon. It is
only a
few steps to the south of the upper barracks. If you don't know how to
get there, simply ask in our member call.
Our 2nd guild hall is in Venore: Valorous Venore.
In the guild hall, behave exactly as you want others to behave there.
Don't block the floors, don't leave valuable things on the ground, and
steal nothing! Of course you can take beer and wine for free from the
casks.
If you get a room in the guild hall, don't ever forget to close the
door behind you! Every other Teuton can enter your room if you leave
the door open.
Screenshots
A screeny is the evidence number one. Though one can fake a screenshot,
this is very elaborate, strikes and breaks the official Tibia rules. In
order to create a simple screenshot, simply press the Print Screen
button on your keyboard and the content of the whole screen will be
copied to the clipboard. Open an application like Paint, Adobe
PhotoShop or Corel PhotoPaint, paste the clipboard into a new file and
save it. Since this is allowedly a bit complicate, there are a bunch of
free tools available which save the content only of the currently
active window to a compressed JPEG file if you simply hit a single
button. One of these tools is the Ultima Online Screenshot Utility
(UOSU), which you can download at the downloads-section on
www.tibia.de. Especially newbies should permanently run such a tool in
the background in order to be able to send a screenshot via eMail, if
necessary. If possible, some "hot" screenshots should be uploaded to a
webserver. ICQ and Yahoo! are only two of a whole bunch of services
which allow you to use some megs webspace for free.
Paying the guildtax
Every Teuton (except some special ranks) must pay a fee of 500gp every
month. Among other things, we need the money to pay the rent for the
guild hall and other houses on Nova. The guildtax must be paid 4 months
in advance, in fact, send a parcel with 5 platinum coins to
Duppy/Carlin. You can find some more information at the link
"Guildtax" at www.teutons.de.
You will be made responsible if you don't pay the guildtax regularly.
Excuses like "I don't have the money..." are not accepted. Even a low
level character needs at most one hour of hunting rotworms, trolls or
dwarves to gain 500gp.
Questions?
Simply ask in the membercall. Nobody in our guild stays dumb ;)
