Fireside A gaming community that was created with the dream that Star Citizen will release one day, and we'll etch out our own little corner of the 'verse. We've grown a lot in the many years we've been playing together, and have several other games as a team under our belt now, but we've never lost sight of the goal. The intention is to be an honorable mercenary band, working for other orgs who need that extra little oomph during a hauling mission, or an escort, or helping as crew members on other's ships. Never shying away from a fight, or a lawful (or possible a bit more devious) contract. We'll use the UEC earned by being merc's to fund our own org operations. We'll be split into 4 'Branches', but don't mistake it. We're not Para-military. We're led by Veterans and retired police members, so having a sense of organization is something that comes naturally to us. The Branches will be for 'when shit hits the fan' organization during events and operations. These can be found on our RSI page or Discord. We won't restrict the roles you play, or how you play your game, ever. The only thing we ask is that while you wear the Fireside tag, you don't engage in criminal activities against other players unless specifically sanctioned (Org is KOS, or a direct enemy to our efforts). We frequently PvP to keep our skills sharp, but we don't want to catch hands with an org that thought we were an ally. What makes us unique: There's a hell of a lot of orgs out there, so what makes Fireside stand out? We've been gaming together across a plethora of games for several, several years. Some of the leadership team go back as far as the original World of Warcraft. This comes with a rich history of the guild, and a longstanding tradition of keeping the community alive, even when what we hope to be our main game is still several years away. We're a welcoming bunch of gamers. We've created a friendly atmosphere for all those who enjoy gaming to feel like part of the group, without ever feeling like you're an outcast or not welcome. We're an adult oriented crew. All of us are 21+, a lot of us are in serious relationships / married, and a couple of us have children. While we don't have a hard age limit for the guild, we prefer to allow for mature topics to come up from time to time. 'Gray' morality alignment. I see a lot of communities on here that are either super lawful, or super anti-lawful. We're going to do what's best for Fireside, which may or may not be on the right side of the law. All your standard Star Citizen affairs. Events, giveaways, etc. What we're looking for: Flexible members who understand Star Citizen is a game still several years from release. If stability, bug issues, etc cause the community as a whole to put down Star Citizen for a little bit, don't be surprised. We'd love to have you play another game with us, and write another story while we wait Self driven members who don't need leadership to tell them what they should be doing every time they log in the game. Fireside is a collection of folks, not the will of the collective leadership. There will be org events and missions, but the day-to-day operations are up to you. Bonus points if you can even start your own events in-game. Mature members who understand in an entirely adult community, a lot of times adult topics will come up. Member that understand that PvP is a very real possibility, and something that Fireside does semi-frequently participate in. What we're not looking for: If you're looking to join Fireside, there's a few things we require to keep our community alive, non-toxic, and as welcoming as it is. If you're a self-identified toxic person, keen to using terminology best left in the grave, including racism, transphobic, or other disruptive slurs meant to demean others, you need not apply. if you have a '2D personality' and can only ever seem to talk about one thing, regardless of what that one thing is (Politics, Star Citizen, the heat death of the universe) and it seems like you always try to bring every conversation back to your favorite topic? Not only are you boring, but we'd prefer it if you didn't apply for Fireside. Org mergers. If you're reading this and thinking "Boy howdy, that guild would sure look good in my guild" stop here. We're not interested. Fireside has built a 100+ member discord server of close friends and family looking to play together, and we're not interested in giving that up to join your zerg. Rules for joining: Be Respectful - Jabs and jokes are always welcome, but Fireside live and dies by it's community, and fostering a healthy, respectful environment is important for the whole org. Act maturely - We're all adults. No general assholery in guild - No racism, transphobia, or sexism is allowed. No general assholery outside of guild - We want to maintain a positive relationship with the gaming community at large. Even if a group is our enemy, remain respectful. As always, light jabs and talking smack are welcome, but there's a line. No Exploiting - If we win, we want it to be fairly. No politics in voice / text channels of any Fireside communication method - RL can suck, we're not playing video games to keep being reminded of that fact. Interested in joining?
