Welcome to the Wiki page of the Obscure Monks . Our goal is to provide an alternative to your average guild experience and to provide a sense of community and structure not captured by the majority of guilds. You are more than welcome to make this your primary guild, and while participation and attendance are strongly encouraged and applauded,there is no minimun time limit assigned to alliance Monks. One of the great aspects of Guild Wars is the level of individuality and uniqueness obtained by characters, due to the varieties of classes, armor, physical appearance, items, etc.. provided when creating a new character and running it through the game. The culture of the MonK guild is more of a collective. An alliance of practically identical monks who are defined by their genrousity and helpful demeanor, and some of the rules and regulations, while adding to a sense of community, restrict a portion of the creative qualities that were intended for this game. This is one of the reasons for not having a minimum time limit attached to members. Think of the OMA as sort of a community service or The Monk Reserves. One weekend a month two weeks a year is acceptable. If you get tired of gameplay as an OMA Monk, take a break, we will invite you back in. Just adhear to the rules.

== Officer Requirements ==1. Once you are recruited you will be requried to build a character from scratch.

2. The character must choose a Monk as a first profession.

[edit] Recruitment

Recruitment is an ongoing project. This will give players commited to the cause time to "play test" some of the characters in order to work out the snags and kinks tied to the direction we would like to take the Guild, but anyone is allowed to join and test our ideas and ideals playability, as long as your character meets the appropriate requirements.You are free to leave, or stay as long as you wish. In most cases, you will always be welcomed back.

[edit] Culture

It is extremely important while using your monk to play an active roll in the culture of the Guild in order to enable growth and timely evolution of the alliance. The main virtue of the Obscure Monks Guild is GENEROSITY. Whether it be donating Items, Gold, or help with quests, "giving" to strangers and friends, should be your motivation for actions taken by your monk. Other things will contribute to the culture of the guild as well...such as doing at least one good deed per day, for someone you dont even know.. Some activities will include guild hall games,events, and give aways. Generous awards for sychronized katas, marches, battlecries, and emotes, will be given to the group(s) of monks who earn them. Give away missions to outposts and towns will also ad to our reputaion. Playing in character is not required, but would help shape the culture of the alliance tremendously. The culture of the Guild is a work in progress and its up to YOU to make it something special. As they say...." if you want a friendly, helpful guild,... be friendly and helpful" It is all up to you the member.

5. To have FUN.

[edit] Comments

It might seem that being an Obscure Monk carries alot of restrictions. While this is true to some extent, The OMG is intended to be a democracy. Your input is going to play a vital roll in how we progress, and even though I came up with the decision to do something a little differnt, the guild is its own entity and most ideas and decisions were presented by players in casual conversation, this guild should take on a life of its own and belongs to its members, not just the guild leaders (even if you started and financed an Obscure Guild). This concept was key when we first created the foremost guild and charcter requirements. I knew what kind of alliance this was going to be, but did not want to take away from the democratic tone of our brotherhood and make all the initial decisions based on my personal preferences. Since I did not have members to vote on member requirements,character class, builds, etc. I left those up to chance and decided to go the route of the old school gamer. I rolled dice. An order of monks was not MY first choice(I was hoping for warrior) but after playing for a while it seems that everything is turning out really great and I could'nt have planned better the things that were decided by chance, which is great because it takes my personal preferences out of the picture and gives our alliance more of a "cosmic" feel. All this being said, if you join and have ideas, I think we have enough people to start our democracy officialy and start having discussions about our direction.
