*Questions are answered by TCG's Leader, Akifami.


1. What made you "create" The Chaos Guards?
As I was playing zOMG, I realized that people were completely missing the point. If you see someone being raided by gnomes on VG, stop to help them. The entire zOMG system is practically designed for crewing and playing together... yet, people failed to do so. You see more singlers out there in zOMG than you see crews and people helping others. That is why I put TCG together.

2. What made you come up with the clan's name?
I already knew what kind of clan I wanted to raise up. So I basically did the math. "A bunch of people who care for and help out those in trouble... hmmm, The Chaos Guards." biggrin

3. What is your vision for the "future" of TCG?
I want TCG to be known as a people-friendly clan. I want every aspect of it to be as inviting and as helpful as possible. Right now, I'd say the clan is still a baby. I am still trying to set up several aspects of it to a point where they can almost permanently remain.

4. What is the minimum CL to join?
Zero, seriously. I don't care what your CL is. You can join as long as you are active and play zOMG.

5. Can I PM you?
YES. PM me to give me ideas of what you'd like to see in this clan. PM me complaints, PM me to talk. Anything. Let me know; my mission is to make you as welcome and as glad to be in TCG as possible.

6. Can I be a crew member?
Yes, and no. I try to keep a balance between members and crew. So if you qualify for crew, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll make it. I don't want the clan over crowded with crew members, especially since chances are... if you have a hundred members, only half or less of that are actually active. So, I add a crew member (at this moment) for every 50 or so new members. Even so, your activity and dedication will never come in vain.

7. how do you reach decisions in TCG?
Mostly, decisions are reached via voting. Just because I am the leader of the clan, doesn't mean I can do everything as I please. I honestly think the clan is as big and as wonderful as it's members... so I much rather let everyone choose as whole then just making a decision myself. Although, sometimes I might have to resort to deciding on my own.

8. How do I donate to TCG?
You can either donate on the clan homepage or complete a trade with TCG Maiden. Gold donated at the clan homepage serves only for TCG forums. Each new sub-forum costs 2k. Gold donated to TCG Maiden funds birthday gifts and events/contests.

9. Who is TCG Maiden?
Technically,TCG Maiden is the clan's mule/bank account. She is used for storing gold and items that belong to the clan. Her journal and profile are also used for the clan's benefit. Physically, TCG Maiden is Akifami.

10. Do you (Akifami) write all the announcements/messages/invites/etc yourself?
Yes. I am proud to say that I write everything myself. Although most invites are written by crew members these days, everything else is seriously done on the spot. All the banners and images are edited and done (except for the art, obviously) by me. I have very little patience to wait for commissions. So I usually resort to doing things myself.

11. Can my friend join TCG?
Yes! Of course. Post their username at the "Invite Thread" and either a crew member/mod or Akifami will invite them.

12. What are the clan's colors (if any)?
I never thought about that, but since most of my "official" messages are done in teal, I suppose the "clan colors" are teal, black and gray.

13. What separates this clan from every other clan?
That is something I'd rather have you "hear" from other members. Don't wanna sound braggy >_<! There is a "testimonial" link on the clan homepage. That will take you to a journal entry where you can read all the nice things said about TCG that separates us from other clans.

More questions will be added as they come.
If you have a question, feel free to post it here and Akifami will answer it ASAP.
