Enlisting in Britannia Search & Rescue |
Enlisting |
In order for a character to join the BS&R several requirements must first be met. These requirements are incorporated into our BS&R Enlistment Path checklist, below.
BS&R Enlistment Form | ||
1 | Demonstration |
Prior to becoming an official Guildmember, pre-guildmembers demonstrate their sincerity by acting in the manner of an active and upstanding BS&R Guildmember While combat may be handy in the field, the helpfulness of the character is just as important for a BS&R Guildmember, if not moreso. (Any character who requests to become a member of the BS&R and demonstrates their sincerity may be considered a Volunteer.) |
2 | Sponsorship | Once
this pre-Guildmember is known to have demonstrated their mettle, they may
petition for membership.
Every petitioner must have an in-game Sponsor. A Sponsor is someone who is already a BS&R Guildmember who is a positive reference for the petitioner, noting the quality of his or her character, and ability to adhere to our ethics system (summed up by the 5 Points of the BS&R Charter). Without a Sponsor, no petitioner shall be accepted. |
3 | Read the web site |
The petitioner should be directed to this web site, probably by their Sponsor,
and read as much as necessary to become familiar with the BS&R.
Bare minimum, the player must read the Rules and Ranks sections. (Dont worry, you wont be testedat least, not in a formal sense :] ) Every petitioner must have a Sponsor. A Sponsor is someone who is already a Citizen who is positive reference for the petitioner. Without a Sponsor, no petitioner shall be accepted. |
4 | Send in the characters Enlistment information | Once
all of the above requirements are met the petitioner may Enlist via the
BS&R Enlistment Form
below. Within two weeks of sending in the characters Enlistment information
the player will receive, via e-mail, an Enlistment confirmation letter.
(Any character who fulfills Sponsorship requirements and sends in their Enlistment information may be considered a Probationary Member. The start of their BS&R career is set from the date that this information is sent.) |
5 |
Initiation |
After
sending in the Enlistment information the petitioner shall undergo a one
month (approximately) Initiation Period. This Period includes an unobtrusive
investigation wherein the guild may determine the validity of the request.
At the end of this period the petitioning character shall be allowed to become a full Member of the BS&R. This is demonstrated by a small swearing-in ceremony. These ceremonies shall consist of the Guildmaster (or Shard or World Leader) delivering a short speech, followed by the respective candidates accepting their Membership. An in-game uniform will be given the new member, if applicable. Note: in-game Titles, such as via Ultima Onlines Guildstones, will never be awarded within the first month, and often not at all, as it is often used to indicate Charter Members and House Fund Donators. Varying rules in alternate Worlds may apply. (Any character who is initiated into the BS&R is may considered a Member.) |
6 | Membership | Members
are requested to wear the BS&R uniform as often
as possible, but it is recognized that it may be a deterrent in certain
circumstances (such as when one is alone on a field operation).
Once a full Member the character may eventually form his or her own squad or Chapter, comprised of the characters they play with most often, and become a Chapter Leader. Characters which show extreme promotional abilities may become the Shard or World Leader that as yet has none. |
When you want to apply for membership, merely fill out and submit the form below.
