Who The Night Watchmen are.

We are a a kinship who's goal is to develop, cultivate, and sustain a group of gamers who are mature and enjoy helping each other out. We would like to achieve a community that is not just strangers that game together,
but a family of gamers.

Within the infastructure of The Night Watchmen, there is an administration group that has been formed consisting of a Leader and Officers. We believe in a democratic system. Too many times have both Fainduil and I seen a guild come to it's demise because of a dictatorship. Every member of Night Watchmen is important to us, and we will strive to assist, encourage, and answer any question that you may have. If you feel called to be in an officer role, please keep working hard and your efforts will be noticed. Administration is observing and will contact you if we feel you are the right candidate and present you the opportunity to take on this role as needed.

We do not want this Kinship to be about rules, regulations, cans and can't do's, but there are a few ground rules that we insist on.

1. You are a representative of The Night Watchmen, so please conduct yourself in a mature responsible manner (no racism, slander, etc..) within the game, to other gamers, and on any ventrilo server. We want this to be a fun and relaxing atmosphere for everyone. Any public degredation of another person is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. This includes chat channels in-game.

2. If you have any concerns or disputes over any issue about the game or other members, please present your thoughts and arguments to the administration. We will do our best to come up with solutions for the issue at hand. The last thing we want is someone leaving because of a miscommunication, or an issue that could have been avoided.

3. Please do not recruit others into the Kinship without being sure of them and discussing it with either Fainduil or any of the Officers. Not that we don't trust your judgement, but there are procedures that we follow to ensure that every kinship member is right for The Night Watchmen.

4. Please understand that peoples alts wil not be added to the Kinship as their only character in our Kin. In order to have an alt within the Kin you must have your main character as a member. Due to complications that can arise, we require that any alts you have are either in the Night Watchmen also, or else unkinned. We strive to be supportive to our members, not just 1 of our members characters!

5. If you are posting an item on the Auction House and you notice that the lowest posted price for the same item was placed by a Kin-mate please do not undercut their price. Consider matching it as a respectful alternative.

Lastly, have fun, but don't let LOTRO become your life. We put huge emphasis on FAMILY. It is easy to burn yourself out on MMO type games like LOTRO....keep it in check and make sure life and family come first. If you are struggling with playing every waking hour on LOTRO, please feel free to talk to someone in a leadership role, and we can talk it through. It sounds silly, but it happens more than you think. Thanks for reading the above and we will see you in game.
