The Charter Vanguard [CV]
Guild Information
The Charter Vanguard [CV] aims to provide a friendly social circle to the sometimes overly competitive environment of online gaming. Formed about three years ago, CV is proud to be an oasis of calm escape for those wary of the real-world craze.
To promote group bonding, CV holds fun and unique events, including regular forum competitions where members can express themselves in writing, art, guild history, and more. In game, CV organizes both officer and member-led events, like random relay races, hide-and-seek, Simon Says, scavenger hunts, 3-point races, a Valentine's day "give-a-person-a-red-iris" event, Christmas outpost caroling, guild hall "fright-night" Necromancer sync dancing, and live role-plays in public areas.
The Charter Vanguard can be a hard group to embarrass because they love making fools of themselves. For instance, they went to the Temple of Balthazar dressed as Mesmers without armor, formed a chain, and did a synchronized dance. After enough exposure in the temple, they moved the chain dance into GvG, and rewarded enemies who infiltrated the base with the gifts of song and dance. The little surprise stunned some into inaction, though they eventually rallied to kill off the dancing Mesmers. Ultimately, it was good fun all the way (which was also documented by a couple of video clips).
With CV's main function anchored in the social aspect of the game, the guild does not actively seek skilled players. Instead, they focus on people and the growth process of becoming skilled. With the more "serious" side of gaming taking a backseat, CV's infectious sense of humor acts as a channel for myriad talents such as machinima (making movies out of in-game footage) and attracts those who just want to have fun.
