History
I know all my officers know this, because I brag about how great they are before each one of our meetings, but not sure I have told everyone in the guild how thankful, and greatful I feel to have stumbled into such a wonderful group of people. Against all odds, and to the saddened destressed naysayers, you guys have created, or are creating the best guild there has probably ever been, ever.... Never has there been a guild of this size with so many nice people all in one place. Never has there been a game that has attracted such a mature player base such as LoTRo. Never has there been a kinship or guild that has grown seemingly out of no where in such a short period of time and become so well known as we have. We are friendly to other guilds, and as highly respected. As other guilds fight with each other, internally and externally, we just happily exist..... as just a nice place to vist, to relax, and just know there might be a few other nice people which happen to know, who may be wandering in the same direction as you are..... We broke all the rules, we invited everyone, we have very limited rules, we have no age limits, and all we really ask is for everyone to take care of and respect each other.... yes we have had a few bumps in the road, a few people that wanted to make us just like another guild, and a few who just waned to break us apart for their own personal gain (whatever that was, never spent the time to ask)... never the less, we are here, we are maturing..... and if it wasn't for YOU.... it might have never happened. So thank you, doesn't even begin to tell you how much I really care about each and everyone of you, and how very proud I am of what you are about to become a part of, a really neat thing.Officers

Kinchat is a general discussion channel for all members. If one person feels threatened, insulted, offended, taken back by the general flow of chat and an offcier has to ask that the conversation change and or cease-and-desist then it ENDS right there....Many conversations that people have in a small fellowship or over /tell are all fine, but we do not allow them over Kinchat... Most the time a simple suggestion to may be given to you to move that topic/convo out of kinchat. This will be handled from an offcier you a user via the ingame /tell username ...but when/if topic continues, it is considered harrassment, and officers are instructed to escalate and deliberate with other officers online at the time, and issue a warning. All warnings are then listed in the offciers section for review by Meldor, the leader, and Chavo the recruiting director.
Thanks Meldor
