 We dont have a Forum/P.R. Position: so we just gonna stick it all here.

The Grey Judges is a PvE  Alliance located in the far North West; Primarily from The Waste up and across areas of West and North Kal Tirikan, Northwest Wolgast and Freemorn, with a fiew scattered wherever.

Guided by a Council of Peacekeepers and Diplomacy Judges; GRUJ tries to provide a Player friendly environment for Members and peacefull Neighbors who prefer PvE, 'roleplaying', trading or just staring at the map! Grey Judges has a system of small Shires where we group together and play. Members are not 'Required' to participate or check in. We do advise keeping some troops and diplos to defend yourself, but its not a rule. Our Rules are Common Courtesy in all dealings with other players. This includes mail and Chat.

Titled Members-'Private' players' Members are allowed the freedom to play anyway they want within our fiew rules.

Ranked Members-Players who actively work towards maintaining peacefull conditions where Alliance Members and other polite folk can play in Peace!

The Grey Judges see our Players as subject to (the Devs) Sigurd as "The King!" and as such owe him any taxes, not us!

GRUJ holds that All Players have the right to play this game the way they want. We understand this includes:

"Every Players right to be a Knucklehead sometimes and cause trouble."

To be a member of GRUJ you must give up that right. At the least curb it. Its a Courtesy thing.

Whining and Drama are also discouraged unless for a laugh!

PvE,Trade and Growth we Welcome-Rude and militant folk should apply elsewhere.

A quick note on space.

In all crowded areas we ask our Members grant existing citys at least 6 tiles for sov. We would like GRUJ neighbors to do the same. We also ask Members to avoid moving into areas where other Alliances have Players grouped together. Please allow them the rights to grow and perhaps they will return the courtesy. Some of our Confeds ask 10 tiles clearance. Please do the best you can not to CROWD!

The Alliance of The Grey Judges

Any Player who does not start trouble may apply for membership. To apply for GRUJ  Membership contact Telchar, Shadar Logoth, Tarl, or Any other Member. Any Member of Lord Title may invite you. We cannot defend Players outside our limited region up north and advise those settled elsewhere to join a closer Alliance. A Member may leave at any time but getting back in may require The Grey Councils approval; depending on circumstance. Grey Judges allows for both Active* and Passive play styles and does not require a daily 'check in' or permission to be afk for a week.

Concerning Game Play:

Our Alliance realizes that war, while sometimes unavoidable is not desired by all who play. Conflict, to some, serves to stimulate interest and make The Game less boring. It is not the only measure of victory; For many this is as simple as playing and growing in peace. For those within GRUJ's sphere of influence who wish to abstain from conflict, we will respect their wishes and help them to retain a peacefull game environment, to the best of our abilitys.

Concerning Property Rights and Land Claims:

The Alliance can defend only our small Shires or 'Player Clusters' Scattered in and around the perimeter of The Waste and regions of Kal Tirikan and Wolgast. Members choosing to settle far away from the Northwest corner of the map are outside any 'realistic' range for military support! Wherever our Members choose to settle we encourage them not to intrude into other alliances 'Shires'.

 

 

Benjamin Franklin
"There never was a good war or a bad peace." 

 

  The Alliance of Grey Judges allows for our own Members Certain Land Rights beyond Sovereign as reward for Grouping Citys. 'Titled' Players may hold the following 'Shires' for King Sigard in Alliance with GRUJ.

Sheriff-This Title is a 3-4 City 'Shire'
Jarl-This Title is a 5+ City 'Shire'

GRUJ will defend our Players Shires!

 Players in GRUJ may have multiple Shires of either or both Titles if they have the Citys. These are Titles NOT Ranks!

*If you have one of these Titles you may choose at any time to declare for a Rank-But it will require Active Defence of Your Shire and Participation in Alliance Matters of Defence; Rank will be 'Grey Reeve' unless a higher Rank fits.

Concerning WAR:

Avoid it! Even with the local Factions. Dont poke the Bear!

If Attacked then by all means retaliate with a proportionate responce; Dont go berserk...well...not too berserk: and Contact Druchii, Shadar, Telchar or Tarl  A.S.A.P.! GRUJ will not fault any player for self defence!
