The Mortis Litany of Expectations
Loyalty - Mortis Consortium believes that the team is first and foremost. This does not mean blind unthinking loyalty. This means saying things to others that may not feel good, but must be said. This means holding yourself to standards higher then others because you represent Mortis Consortium.
Loyalty is not just blindly backing your Team. It is acting responsibly at all times knowing your actions represent all of MC.
Honesty/Integrity - If you lie, you have no business being here. If you are not 100% honest in this place, then you need to be elsewhere.
Unselfishness - Putting the guild first before any personal needs. This is not just when it suits your goals, it is 24/7. Just because you want to get the Uber sword +10 tonight and you get a party together and organize a raid and say "Hey, I organized this Raid tonight and got everyone together, I did my part". No, all you did was use your guild mates to further your goals. Now if you did that same thing to get other people that +10 sword, then pat yourself on the back. You just spent 6 hours of your time to help out someone who could not have gotten that without your help.
Dedication - Specifically contributing to the team on a regular basis. This does not mean gaming. This could be helping make the web site better or posting information to share with the team regularly. Organizing real life events. Posting amusing sites to brighten someone's day. Helping a member book a hotel in your city, or better yet offering them a spare room for the night they are in town. ANYTHING that betters the team and makes this a more enjoyable, and enhancing experience for us.
Team Player - This one is a combination of many others, but it is important. New members need to be the type of people that think in terms of the group's achievements. They are not interested in how they do in the rankings. They would rather do something that would ensure three of their brothers were ranked 1,2,3 while they themselves ranked 10th.
Every action, every thought they have is "What can I do today to make my team better".
Intelligence - I am not talking about IQ here. Members need to be able to understand their strengths and what they can contribute to the team. They need to be able to think about their actions and how they affect us. They need to be able to make smart decisions when it comes to interacting with others, on our team and outside of it. They need to be able to not like an MC member, but be able to work effectively with that person to further the goals of Mortis Consortium.
Accept criticism - You are going to make mistakes, and when you do, you are going to get chewed out, and rightly so. Understand that this is being done to make you a better member. You are not getting chewed out to make you look stupid or to satisfy a personal desire of power of another member. You are being reprimanded because you crossed a line, and need to not do it again.
Members cannot shut down after they have been admonished, or be stubborn and refuse to accept the will of the team.
This is not a democracy - Mortis Consortium is not a place where majority rules. We have a benevolent dictatorship. You must be able to abide by the rules. You need to voice constructive criticism of the rules if you do not like them, but at the end of the day, when the decision comes down, you have to back it.
