Who are we?

Well, as you all know I am Paulos, owner of this domain, and leader of Bronk's Guild. Bronk is my actual Diablo II character I created on 4/29/02, and founded the guild on 6/25/02, it's been a long and bumpy ride, but our guild now flourishes with loyalty/recruits/wealth and power. You have questions for Paulos I see, so ask all you wish.

What government type is your guild?

Monarchy, I am the King of guild, naturally my word is over all and my decision is the final say, however I have been commented MANY times on being "A kind dictator", and I am not a dictator, we just recently changed our government from a dictatorship to our monarchy.

Will you ever go past monarchy?

I doubt it, I must say I have seen some clans that are Anarchies, have no power in their clan and usually go insane and just basically disband! It's TRUE! I've seen them, it was mainly back when Patch 1.09 was out! I have also sensed in clans/guilds who are ruled by a High Council of some sort or even a democracy, I have always felt due to this just being a game, if this organization was put together by a single person or at least started and mainly MAINTAINED by an actual one person such as me, I should be considered the head/leader of this guild. That is why I am a Monarch, however I give trials to members if they have done a serious offense, or we even just talk about it and see how it goes, we do not just throw people out unless it was a terrible offense of some sort.

What do you look for in a person to join your guild?

Good attitude, kindness, loyalty, respect to my authority, the wantings to obey our thirteen causes and enjoy Diablo II together.

Your rules especially rule #6 is considered very strict, and yet you have so many members who abide by them, why and how?

I fully admit some of my rules are strict, but yet at the same time, logical and understandable. They abide due to the trust they have placed in the guild, and me as their leader and I am sure they do not just want to throw that away, and also in my opinion as common sense, with the oath of loyalty sworn, their loyalty can overcome all rules and eaisly abide by them.

What exactly do you look for in the future for your guild, any actual goals, gains, dreams of any other accomplishments?

Actually, nothing considered majorally changing or strenous. I hope that our future for the guild and it's inhabitants have peace/prosperity and always a place to be in when they play Diablo II, many people and even new people do not exactly play Diablo II for the first time knowing they have a large band to back them up in emergency, safe xferring, lvling up, having fun, people to trust, that's just plainly hard to have in any MMORPG, including in real life, alot of the things I have done for and in this guild could be considered very VERY difficult and complicated!

How do you maintain safe xferring, espionage from enemies, threats from other clans/guilds? Does it disturb your ways of peace?

First, remember we are undefeated and I believe we will always be undefeated due to the strong family bond the guild shares, and as well as under my fine command and leadership. Maintaining safe xferring is actually easy due to there always being a valuable and good guard at each invidual's items that they are xferring, and a safe passworded room. As for espionage, sure it could be easy to get in, but can you MAINTAIN being a spy, that is the question. You must swear to your loyalty and honor that you are not a spy and are loyal to this guild when you interview with me, and if you joined to steal items like MONKEYTOES did, well that is how you can just find who the enemy really is, by giving the spy/lying member some bait, if they run at the item to grab after I say do not grab, or if I come back and it is gone, it is quite obvious that my plan and trap worked. Also, as for threats, we only receive threats from the Knights of Valor which really means nothing to me right now, and sure it disturbs our ways of peace, but unlike real life we have passworded games if necessary to relax from the enemies, and we have never had terrible opposers due to the fact of most people agreeing with this guild's purpose to have a truly friendly and peaceful aura for the Diablo II LoD USEast, NON HC, NON Ladder player.

Since everyone is family obviously, what if someone does betray or did something wrong and is disbanded, does that weaken the bond with your comrades and members if they had friendship with this member? Would they be able to comply with Rule #6?

Rule #6 is tough, but the rule states not playing with the one. It is just NOT SAFE to play with the one who wants your organization you have sworn loyalty to destroyed! I mean, is it? Let us be logical! I am not a control freak, I just want my members to be safe, and IN ORDER TO DO THIS I MUST BE VERY, VERY, VERY STRICT to maintain our order, and as you see we have fourty five members who abide by the rules no matter with the people we have lost and such.

How to join again?

E-mail me, IM me at PAULOSBLADE, or whisper me on battle.net, my accounts are PaulosTheMight, PaulosTheLight, and PaulosTheMight9. I am usually on AIM, and talk to me and we may set up an interview.

How powerful is your army?

From our guild wars, as you can see we are powerful. Even without our full force prepared, with my leadership and our bonds combined we fight BRAVELY and HONORABLY together, and have not lost. At full strenght, I really feel we are quite invincible in spirit.

Can a level 1 Barbarian join?

ANY LEVEL 1 CAN JOIN! A Level 99 can join, all can join! All you must be is truthful, respectful, honest, cheerful, abide our rules, be nice to members and be interviewed!
