Seraphim

[/size]

Since establishment in November of 2009, Seraphim has become one of the largest and most successful LS's on Mysidia. We look forward to stepping up to at as a company, as soon as they should be released. It is my intent to keep growing stronger, entirely without sacrificing the close knit bonds we have already formed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Purpose

When forming this guild, it was my intent to create a place where our company could work as a whole to help one another accomplish our goals, whatever they may be. We rank, party, quest, craft, levegrind, and even hunt roaming NM's with one another. We strive to place one another first, and in doing so, help each other not only rise to the top of Eorzea, but heighten the enjoyment of the game.

With our large size, we try encompass every facet of the game. Thanks to the individual skillsets and schedules of each player, our players may look within the guild and find within it anything they may need, from crafting help to leve parties, from a social experience to endgame NM's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Leadership

I have lead guilds in a fair number of MMO's to date, most by a similar name. WoW, FFXI, GW, AoC just to name a few. From this, I have learned many ways to avoid drama, establish a friendly environment, and nurture members. As such, our guild is lead by a democracy. Each Officer makes a vote on issues, each vote has the same weight. (including my own, of course) Officers are promoted by member nomination, and voted upon by other officers. In every way, we strive to make our decisions as a guild, making an ideal place for all of it's members rather than just a few.

We tend to be a fairly laid back council, not requiring elitism or getting furious when a mistake is made. We try to remain as approachable and friendly as possible, though we will do our best to avoid allowing personal friendship to bias our judgment. We will, however, have the interests of the guild in mind when making decisions concerning punishments, drama, etc. Preferably, we would like to keep in-guild drama relatively low, and retain a large amount of active players across all time zones we can manage, so that there are always others on with which to party, quest, or chat with.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Members

Applicants merely need be respectful of fellow guildmates and capable of putting guildmates before one's own personal interests. I hope to evolve as the game and the needs of the guild members do, picking up any challenge SE can throw our way.

In applicants, we disregard your job, your levels, your achievements, etc. None of that is what we are looking for. Instead, we look at your personality, as everything else can be trained or gained with time.

We hope to encompass all time zones and schedules, so please don't hold back just because of an odd schedule. As stated earlier, it is our goal to have the guild active around the clock, so you can play with guildmates at any time of day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Structure

We are a democracy, plain and simple. We are lead by a council in which each person's vote is held with the same weight, myself included. Council slots directly correlate to the overall population of the company, so as the guild grows, advancement opportunities never dry up, and the workload never becomes too much for any single officer to bear.

Aside from that, we also have a senior member position, the members of which are then tasked with assisting their guildmates and council. Sometime's they'll lead events, other times they'll get to know a new applicant and see if they're a good fit for us. The role will be evolved on an as-needed basis, as we still do not have companies or the fine details in our hands yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Philosophy

I would refer to our guild, as a whole, affectionately as "Mid-core", the marriage between hardcore goals and open schedules. Meaning I run NM's like everyone else, but I do not have forced attendance. With our already large size, this means the guild itself can have an active NM schedule without each and every member being forced to attend each time. Meaning you can essentially pick your schedule, and effectively decide when where and if you wish to run NM's. Of course, casual members and crafters are wholeheartedly (We have plenty of them, believe me. ^_^) welcome to join as well, as, like I said earlier, I wish to encompass this game as a whole. The best way I see to accomplish that is to gather players from all walks of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you would like any further details, please feel free to send me a tell. I look forward to meeting everyone beneath Eorzean skies.
