Guild Ethos & Interpretations
Mio's thoughts on the ethos
Mmmm...ethos:
1. Wizards are honest, thoughtful and respectful towards others at all times.
I agree with this, it is what makes us wizards, however, it should be noted that
respect is
not always deserved by some people.
2. Wizards are neither superior nor inferior to another person. All persons are
different
and offer a unique insight.
Balderdash. Of course we are superior to some people. ::gets out his warlock
smacking
stick::
3. Wizards practise the light side of magic. Greed and personal advancement at
the cost of
others are not concepts practised by Wizards.
This isn't so much an etho as a description of the guild itself...though i do
pay my guinea
pigs! ::nod::
4. Wizards are committed to learning and perfecting the Art of Magic.
Hey, it's what we do.
5. Wizards are urged to become friends with all in the Guild. We unite under a
common name
and purpose. Together, as comrades, we shall further everyone's understanding
and
satisfaction of the World.
If we cannot call the people within our walls friends, then what exactly bonds
us together
as a guild?
6. Treat the Guild as family.
See above.
7. Wisdom is the greatest asset a Guild can have. Through Wisdom and knowledge,
comes power.
The power to assist all those around us. Wizards are encouraged to learn from
each other, to
support each others quests for knowledge.
Learn from each other, but see etho 8, or you aren't earning anything at all.
8. Wizards know that the experience is best gained through personal achievement
or
co-operation within a group. Experience "earned" by hanging on to someone's
coattails may
increase your abilities but not your Wisdom.
Couldn't have phrased it any better...well...maybe i could have =)
9. A Wizard shall not inhibit another wizard's opportunity at achieving wisdom
by giving out
quest answers, though vauge hints to the weary adventurer are permitted.
This is something that applys not just to us within the walls of the guild.
10. Wizards do their best to support the Guild and its members, providing The
Wizard's Ethos
is not broken in the process. Wizards are encouraged to share their ideas for
and with the
Guild.
As the lands change, the people change. As the people change, the guild must
change with
them.
11. Wizards air their grievances within the confines of the Guild. Public
displays of
disunity do not advance the guild and do not rectify the situation. A civilised
meeting with
Patrons and Leaders will solve difficulties far more effectively.
Civilized, eh? ::puts the battlesporks away::
12. The Ethos is the summation of a way of life, not hard and fast rules. A
Wizard
interprets the above and applies its spirit, not its word.
No comment.
