Hi. I made it a point to eventually take a break from sparring to create a tower guild, and four days ago I went ahead and did that. Through these first four days of seeing what towers have to offer, we picked up 43:31.

We already have a really strong core of players. Most of us are sparrers by nature and we've already proven the point that towers aren't exactly hard. As of right now, we're pretty confident in taking a tower from just about anyone. However, we're really looking for more players who are extremely active and are interested in helping us hold towers.

Our current goal is to push towards 1000 tower hours. We aren't in any rush but would like to average around 8 hours per day. We've decided that every Wednesday is going to be a break day for us where everyone can relax and do as they please.

Why should you join?

We are a pretty close-knit group of people. All of us are cooperative and polite within the guild and appreciate every contributing member.
The guild is currently made up of skilled sparrers who know the mechanics of Graal and how to win at it: people like Aran, David Enguard, Ramone, Tae, Daze, Male, Dae, and more.
We function uniquely and independently. We don't take form of other tower guilds because most of the founding members have never been interested in towering. Our structure is completely different, we strategize differently, and it's something new that could be interesting to you.
We won't try to boss you around. You don't have to ask me for permission to eat or sleep like people have been doing already, that's just crazy. You determine your own contribution to the guild. Those who contribute the most will be rewarded and any slack members are eventually at risk of being replaced. We don't really pressure our members, there is no reason to.

What kind of members are we looking for?
We have a core of players in North America who can rush into a fort and take it as we please. What we really need at this point are players from Europe, Australia, and Asia or players elsewhere with very flexible schedules.

We don't seek out temporary members. We want people with plans to stick with us for a long time. We really value loyalty. We're willing to give anyone a chance, and you will determine how long you're able to stick with the guild.

We don't enforce a "no multiguilding" policy, but being exclusive to our guild (at least within tower guilds) is appreciated. We can't recruit you if you're a member of a competing tower guild, such as Rebellious, Vintage, Mirage, etc. In our four days, I've noticed a strange trend where the tower guild community seems to share around the same handful of members between multiple guilds and it makes no sense to me. We don't want that.

How can you join?
Enter the house of the leader of our main guild (Special Forces). Read the information there and make sure you understand it. From there, you can either send me a forum PM or leave me a message in-game. It'd be best if you could provide me a list of guilds you've been in and are currently in, and where you are from.
