1. Introduction

As part of the continued development of the STEEMPUNK-NET MMORPG blockchain game, and after a great start to the Guild of NanoGuards project (the brainchild of Hive account@jillfeint), Hive account@ravenruis has created a second guild. The vision is that this will help enhance the game-playing experience even more, especially in a team-vs-team environment.
As players, we are excited to support the game in any way we can, although we have no legal affiliation with the STEEMPUNK-NET (SPN) game creators. The Guild has been created, and will function, independently of the SPN game makers PCSG-Dev.

2. Mission Statement

To support the game developers.
To encourage new players to the game.
To keep players interested in the game.
To enhance the enjoyment of the game.
To incentivise active players.

6. The Guild Rules

Each week the Guild members must find new people to ask to join the game, by issuing invitations. They should leave something like this comment message (including images) in appropriate posts.

Example:

The Guild members then drop the links to those comment invites into a dedicated server room, as proof of task completed. Tallies of these count towards earning top place in the reports.

Once the Guild’s own profile account has built up enough reserves, a reward system may be able to be offered to Guild members, based on performance, tasks and other activities as set by the Captain.

Guild members must never give a flag to anyone while representing the Guild or SPN. If there are any serious problems, please discuss them with your Captain or the SPN admins.

The Guild may encourage its members to vote for the witnesses and sponsors who support the SNP community. A list of these will be available in the Guild’s SPN Discord room.

9. The Project Overview

Similarly to what the Guild of NanoGuards set out to achieve with their project, for this project it is intended to achieve everything that was named in the Mission Statement, but also with the aim of making the STEEMPUNK-NET game, and the Guild, surpass these goals.
The vision is that current and new players not only stay in the game, but just as importantly, that people can do several things that they love: play, enjoy Steemit, and share in rewards.

While the original Guild of NanoGuards whitepaper set out a solidly-structured formula for further guilds to follow, of two Captains, four Lieutenants and twelve Cadets, Hive account@ravenruis has decided to trial a system of halving that structure so that any one person can run their own guild if they desire. So, as the diagram above has shown, there is one Captain, two Lieutenants, and six Cadets.

We are also interested in helping SPN translate the game into different languages so that even more people can play, so would love to see Guild members volunteering - or finding keen translators - to become a part of this worthwhile project.

10. The Remuneration Programme, and the Promotion Programme

The Guild, with SPN support, would like to work on a curation project to remunerate its members. This will help encourage players. At least some of the curation can be done off of the daily/weekly stats reports. Currently, daily rewards are issued to the top two players with the most victories, the top two players with the most duels, and the two players who had the closest fight. There is scope for further payouts and categories to add to the daily rewards system; and possibly a weekly system also. Otherwise the Guild will organise this manually.

The Guild may incentivise its members via special rewards, at its discretion. These special rewards may be earned via players’ duties and various Steemit activities, as the Guild Captain determines.

The Guild’s curation project would include monitoring of the Hive account@steempunknet and Hive account@steempunksnet profiles as well as the #steempunknet #steempunksnet #spn #spn-daily tags, and other tags deemed relevant, with the purpose of supporting appropriate posts and comments with upvotes. Monitoring of the tags is easily achieved via the GINAbot, for example.

The Guild Captain will run the guild, in part at least, through its own specially-created profile - Hive account@wolfguards, thus building up an account balance in order to begin curating its members. Included will be regular posts on things like team stats, player profiles and other topics deemed suitable.

Delegation (even temporarily) of Steem Power by anyone desiring to help us build up our account would be most appreciated. Automatic upvoting of our posts, via SteemAuto for example, would also be very much appreciated.

11. The Guild Backstory

Guild members will be encouraged to create backstories for their game characters. This could be as minimal or as detailed as each person wants to do. Each character will help create the story of the Guild, and fit it into the greater SPN story. These will hopefully be published via the Guild’s own profile.

As Steemit grows, contributors develop new tools and some of these may become useful to the Guild. For example, there is a new way to create and publish books - so there is scope for the Guild to create a book based off the stories members develop. There is also the hope that we would be able to translate these stories into a range of languages so more people could enjoy them.
