The Rune Guard Banner System

Rune Guard has a soft banner system. Due the way we share resources and depend on the skills of each other, we have created a system that sets expectations:

Situation	Enlisted	Guardsman
Non-matching informal or formal event	Acceptable	Acceptable
Matching informal event	Questionable	Unacceptable
Matching formal event	Unacceptable	Unacceptable
Time-Locked Events	Case by Case	Unacceptable
Plays another game with another group	Acceptable	Acceptable
Plays a Rune Guard Chaptered Game but not with Rune Guard	Questionable	Case by Case

"Matching" = the activity matches the member's playstyle (eg, pvp vs pve).

Other Games - Chaptered by Rune Guard

Any Guardsman can lead a chapter of Rune Guard in another game — they just need to be a moderator. Chapters must align with the org's ethos.
