Greetings,
I am Vancien, Legatus of the VII Legion, Virtus Et Vitium. I offer to you the opportunity to join a growing guild on the Tarnished Coast, share in epic battles, steal loot from pirates, laugh, joke, perhaps even cry or curse like a sailor from time to time. Currently small in number but growing by the week, we seek others who wish to enjoy the game as much as we do and collectively accomplish goals. Without fear of being typecast as a “noob” or filtering your slang, we aren’t as concerned with a mass in players as we are of quality in each individual person.
“Ten men wisely lead will defeat One hundred without a head.”
We wish to have mature individuals respectful of other players, work well as a team and can overcome adversities and challenges together. We strive to become a driving force within WvW, PvE and PvP. Role players are welcome to our group as some of us will certainly engage. However, we don’t consider ourselves a heavy role playing guild.
With that being said, we are a very social group. All play styles are welcomed.
Most of us do spend our time on the guild vent server while playing. We’re a fun bunch and playfully will poke fun at one another, tell jokes and have a lighter side of humor. Face it, life without humor is just boring. Chat has known to often times be missed in Guild chat due to our focus on the game. The best form of communication for us is certainly by voice.
Although our makeup is mostly an adult crowd, ages 25+ we do have some that are younger in age. Maturity often times is a state of mind, rather than just a designated age bracket. We’ll consider anyone with a good attitude who can be themselves without being disrespectful to others and embarking on their enjoyment of the game.
Also, it is important to note that because we are an adult guild, we all have day jobs. During the week our play times are variable but the weekends boast high activity. We’d certainly love to grow our daytime player base during the week but real life will always come first for us. That goes for everyones families, out of the game responsibility etc. We’re very accepting and respectful of eachothers time, in game and out.
Our guild is built around the following premise,
Inaugurated on July 18th 2012, with collaborative minds at work, principle value and meaning established, Virtus et Vitium [VII] was born. The core values are based around an ancient, often times religious way of thinking, modeling one’s self, emotional traits or aspiring values. But we certainly aren’t religious or militant regarding the concept. It’s strictly a pholosophy.
Virtus is the latin word for Virtue.
Vitium is the latin word for Vices.
Virtues and Vices are a counter balancing eternal pair. Also known as The Seven Deadly Sins, Virtue is countered by Vice. The Seven Virtues and their counterpart Vices are as follows:
Vice
-Pride
-Greed
-Lust
-Anger
-Gluttony
-Envy
-Sloth
Virtue
-Humility
-Mercy
-Chastity
-Patience
-Temperance
-Love
-Fortitude
Our core Virtues are:
- Loyalty – Honor – Respect – Honesty – Courage – Wisdom – Benevolence -
These Virtues are what we strive to have over our individual Vices. It is by choice we strive for great successes together. Nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Your companions should be the ones that are there to support you and help you overcome your battles.
So if you are looking to join a mature and fun guild and contribute to its evolution within the land of Tyria, you’ll most certainly be welcomed and appreciated here. Amongst new friends, share a pint of ale and start a brawl. Fighting with friends is much more entertaining!
Points of contact in game are:
Valynna Bear Heart
Kaslyn Rose
Trip Pulse
Insirion

Best,
Vancien
