I’m starting a fresh recruitment thread because the old one was just too cluttered.
AI has reformed for GW2 and we’re looking for a few good people to join the lunacy. We are a social guild that participates in PvE and WvW. We mostly play on the Sorrows Furnace server in the US, but if you aren’t into WvW feel free to join from any server. We have recently teamed with the guild Spill The Blood for sPvP — they are very noob friendly and have tournament groups forming most evenings with paid tournaments every Wednesday night.
Our rule:
Have fun, don’t be a jerk.
Things we value:
Game of Thrones, salty language peppered with wordplay and innuendo, www.deviantart.com, punctuation, quoting Princess Bride and Firefly, pie, and teaming up to play with guildmates and allies.
Things we do not appreciate:
PLAyIng bIG LetTEr LIttLE LetTEr, almost all types of hate speech unless it is directed at popular Texas politicians, l337 5p34k, whining in guild chat because no one wants to come do Queensland renown hearts, referring to things that are stupid or ridiculous as gay.
Things we require from our players:
Basic knowledge:
You must know that there are three variants of the word there and how to use each one:
There — Over yonder
They’re — what they be gonna do
Their — not your’n.
Maturity:
Basically this is an R Rated guild. We do not check ID’s at the door, but if we’re running a dungeon and your mom comes by and hears us using vulgarities in Mumble and makes you sign out we will be angry. At you. Most of our current roster is over 30.
Activity:
Since most of our roster is over 30 we also understand about kids, jobs, hobbies, aging parents etc. We’re good with you playing when you can. This is a very laid back environment.
The way the AI world works:
The developers, in their infinite wisdom, have allowed for multiple guilds in GW2. We don’t expect to be your only guild or to always have something on tap that will keep you entertained. We will have events and outtings, but it won’t be a constant thing. Go, play, have fun. For some of us AI is home, and if it becomes home for you too, that’s great; but, if you just want to visit, hang out, and have a few laughs that’s great too. Feel welcome to come and go as you please. I expect that all of us, including leadership, will sometimes go visit and play with other guilds. The one request is that if you are teaming with another guildie please represent AI so that we can get the influence. This isn’t a mandate, it’s just a request — we understand that there might be times when it seems more appropriate to represent another guild. We just ask that you keep our influence in mind too.
We have a group of allies that we have played with for several years. Their rules are different from ours and the rating in alliance chat is G to PG Light. Plus, they hug and stuff /me shudders. But, all in all they are great fun. Treat them as well as you would an AI’er and save the colorful language/stories for guild chat.

Right at the moment we have about 130 members. I know absolutely that we have at least 4 of the 5 LGBTQ designators, (and very likely that fifth one is in there too; I just don’t know about it) and yet we still have far more straight/married people than kittens, just like in the real world. We have a self-described redneck from Alabama, a cricket player from Trinidad, a handful of US Military retired, someone from the Mid-West who likes to be called Jesus, and even one or two registered Republicans.
I keep seeing forum recruiters say they are looking for like-minded individuals to join their guild, but I just think that’s boring. I want different thinking individuals. I want people that can play the game and enjoy the people they’re playing with, have respect for others and teach me some things about how the real world works along the way.
