Backwoods
Leader(s):	A pint of dark stout?
Founder:	biini
Allies:	weenies, WG Stampers
Website:	http://wiki.fallensword.com/index.php/Backwoods

Welcome to the Backwoods, a TOP 40 Guild!

We are a bunch of easy-going guys and gals who think that Robin Hood was a pussy and didn't go far enough. He stayed in the woods with his stockings. We carried right on to the BACKWOODS! We met the Knights who 'til recently said "Ni!", bribed them with a couple of reasonably priced shrubberies and with a nice little path, ate their herring and went deeper in the woods than no knight had gone before.

We are recruiting active team-players. You don't have to be on-line 24/7, just check attack groups and other things every now and then and try to play all your stamina. We are not too picky or hard, we play for fun! Besides activity we require basic English skills and somewhat regular gold deposits. FSP deposits helps our guild to grow even larger, but they are not mandatory.
We are currently full, but we will remove our inactive members every now and then. If you are over lvl20 and think you have what it takes to be a active Backwooder, ask biini or some other high-ranking player if you can join. Cheers!

The Rules

Here's some "rules" you will be bound to when you join

1. NO cheating, NO begging, NO idiots.
2. Have fun
3. Don't store crap in the guild store (read: something you can buy cheap).
4. Act friendly (at least towards your guild mates and allies)
5. Ok, we are all adults and we are from backwoods. We have no table manners, we drink a lot and we swear a lot. So dont take it personally if you see an f-word or couple in the guild chat.
6. Post on the guild chat if you are taking a longer vacation.
7. If you need gold, gear, buffs or anything just ask. (well if you are asking for 100k you'd better have a some kind of explanation :-) )
8. Must like beer (or alcohol in general) ...or at least have an unhealthy affection for trees.
9. Do not recall Guild Tagged Gear that is worn by a Guild Member (shows in Guild Store Report as Bold Blue). Exception to this rule are donalde, Magundy, DeFalco and biini.
10. If you borrowed something from one's backpack for hunting, please return it after you have finished!

Skills are moved to this site to ease maintaining. Please fill your own line, or ask a guild mate for help :)

The deleveling party against Northern Alliance went perfectly. -10 levels as expected. Hope they learned their lesson. A big thanks to our new ally WG Stampers for help.

We have just formed an alliance with WG Stampers! We are working on an official communications channel. Any ideas are welcome.

Gear

We have some useful equipment to help our younger players. Fully-forged weapons and some nice legendary/SE/unique sets. These are of course free to use for guild members. Over 800 items last time I counted. If you need help with gear, ask donalde or magundy or someone in guild chat.
