KGB DARKFALL RULES OF CONDUCT
SECTION 1: RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Clause 1: If an individual is not an ally, assume he/she is a threat. You may engage first. The highest ranking officer present at the scene at the time will make that decision.
At the same time it is important to remember KGB's history and legacy. Above all Always act honorably. No griefing, No trash talking. Conversations are fine, but represent the honor of the guild well in both word and deed.
There will be no special circumstances, no exceptions. No, "Wait, I am an allied GM's friend's Mother's Cousin". If you are not a labeled member of an Allied organization, you may shoot first and ask questions later. You can always res or return loot.
Clause 2: You may never, under any circumstances, attack or kill a member of our Alliance
If you have problems with someone, you can contact leadership and they will deal with it through diplomatic channels.

General Order 2: "Thou shalt swear faith to no other nation but KGB
You are exclusively a Citizen of the KGB. You must put the goals of the KGB ahead of your own, and to put your loyalty to the KGB above all else. As a KGB citizen, you must not be a member of any other organization in any land where the KGB has a presence. In lands where the KGB does not have a presence, your affiliation with other organizations must remain anonymous and not be in conflict with KGB (for instance, you are a member of the XXX organization in a game called Kill Everyone Online, and the KGB is a foe of XXX in another world). If KGB leadership determines there is a conflict of interest, then you would be asked to either leave the other organization, or renounce your KGB citizenship. (see the complete General Order for information on OPEN Factions)
SECTION 3: ENFORCEMENT OF KGB RULES
Clause 1:As defined in Section 3 of the KGB Articles of Confederation, The Faction Leader holding the rank of (GM2/F5) High Chancellor / 5 Star General has the power (Quoted from Articles of Confederation Section 3, Clause 3) "To remove a member or officer of KGB from their factions stone/roster/TS/Vent immediately at any time. **In such a case, it should then go IMMEDIATELY to the Court, and the faction leadership should be REQUIRED to submit an incident report to Court explaining why it was necessary, what charges they wish to bring, etc."
Clause 2:Even if removed from the in game Organization, you must adhere to all KGB rules and regulations if you wish to retain your overall KGB citizenship. You remain a KGB Citizen despite your affiliation with the in game Organization and you retain your accountability for your actions.
Clause 3:Upon review and process from the KGB Supreme Court, removed members may be reinstated after consequences have been completed.
YOUR CONDUCT AS A KGB CITIZEN
Respect the leadership and your fellow member first and foremost. Tempers will flare, and accidents will happen. Take a break and cool off before risking guild morale and or violating our conduct policy. It will be our policy to offer members that violate our conduct ONE private warning. If a violation occurs again, the High Chancellor / G5 and or High King will take action. You may have your rank removed, or be removed from the in game organization are reported to the KGB Supreme Court.
Our success depends on our ability to work together as a team. If you have a problem with the in game leadership, follow orders first, then speak to the leader in private after the fact in a calm and respectful manner. If you have a problem after that, you are encouraged to go to the Faction Leader, or directly to the High King.
