The Britannia Search & Rescue Guild, or BS&R, has a multi-part purpose, each supporting our goals of establishing a search and rescue volunteer corps. The BS&R is dedicated to the betterment of the citizens of every Shard and World. These goals are described in our Charter, below.

Simply, members of the Britannia Search & Rescue Guild are required to follow the standards set forth in the BS&R Charter. Members may also enjoy membership in other guilds, so long as that membership does not conflict with the BS&R Charter.

Players who are exceptional in their methods may receive Commendations and perhaps an increase in Rank. Those who act counter to the precepts stated in the Charter may receive Discommendations, perhaps a decrease in Rank, and, in extreme cases, may be asked to leave the guild.

The Britannia Search & Rescue Guild is not about being the toughest citizen on the Shard or World, having more than your neighbor, keeping secrets, or revenge. It’s about being Virtuous, giving, helping those in need, and, yes, when it’s called for, justice.

A Commendation is notational reward, used a means of recognition of the performance of certain BS&R members.

• Recruit Others
  Recruit 3 members to the guild, who remain with the guild in good standing for three months or more.
• Perseverance
  Most Members automatically are considered to achieve a Commendation after remaining with the BS&R for 3 months as an Active member, and many of these will receive a gratuitous notation on their 3 Month Anniversary. Maintaining an Active Membership includes following the guidelines as established in the BS&R's 5 Point Charter, wearing the BS&R uniform, and/or title, promoting the guild & it's efforts, and, of course, maintaining some sort of Internet multiplayer game presence.
• Recommendation
  Be recommended by any Executive Member for a Commendation.
• Valor
  Be recommended by 5 (non-Executive) Members within a one month period, for deeds supporting the Guild above and beyond the call of duty.

A Discommendation is notational penalty, used a means of recognition of the performance of certain BS&R members.

Some clear ways to receive a Discommendation are discrediting of the guild, attacking players without just cause, and acting in direct opposition to the concepts of the BS&R Charter. All the ways will not be detailed here, however, as the BS&R would like to focus on the good, rather than the bad.

Should a member receive an arbitrarily large amount of Discommendations, that membership shall be put into question and its validity shall be decided upon by the Guildmaster.
