Article I, Introduction

The Knights of Glory and Beer have been dedicated to the destruction of Evil and the protection of the innocent. As the world has changed, so has KGB's guidelines. Our world has a flawed Notoriety and Judgment system, but it is the only system available. It is our duty to seek out and confront Guilds and individuals that have Evil intent or that oppress, and  or take advantage of others. This document will serve as the members Bible. All members of the KGB are expected to follow the rules listed here and will be judged based upon them.

KGB will defend itself against hostile action. Any Guild or individual, regardless of participation in any organization that participates in the direct attack of any KGB member, Official Ally, and or uninvolved innocent will be considered an Enemy of the Knights of Glory and Beer and will be subject to the enforcement of KGB justice. KGB Forces will consider members of a any hostile organization "Kill on Site" regardless of Color or profession.  Unwarranted verbal attacks,  slander, spreading of misinformation, and dishonest attempts to harm the KGB, its membership, and or its Allies will be classified as a "direct attack" and will be handled in the same fashion.

Membership Oath:

As a Member of the Knights of Glory and Beer, my personal integrity is irreproachable. I will never degrade myself by the lying to, cheating of, stealing from, or harming the innocent. I hold myself personally and unequivocally responsible to ensure the preservation of the honor of the Membership and good name of the KGB at all times. I will, to the best of my power, cause the peace to be kept and prevent all offences against the persons and properties of those of "good" alignment.

Article II, Rules of Conduct and Engagement

Section I, CONDUCT
The following are the rules of KGB Citizen and Military advisor conduct that every member is to follow. Violations of these rules will result in review and punishment per the KGB Supreme Court.

Clause 1. Presentation and Communication - KGB Members will treat all persons (Friends and Foes alike) with respect in all forms of communication at all times. KGB Members strive to be honorable, respectable, and chivalrous at all times.  We try our best to not to use foul language.  Keeping your temper in check is always a challenge in combat.

Clause 2. Knowledge - You are expected to be educated in the rules and regulations of KGB, and keep up to date on current events and needs. All members are expected to check the KGB Sentinel, State of the KGB page, and the KGB Meeting Hall (KGB Citizens only) on a regular basis. Lack of knowledge is not a defense against violations of KGB's ever changing laws.

Clause 3. Loyalty - You are expected to obey the wishes of the guild leadership and follow the rules and regulations of the guild at all times without question. There are ways to question the conduct of Guild leaders if you feel that they are not following the KGB code. This should be done after you have performed your duty as the Commander will be held directly responsible for their decisions and orders. The KGB GuildMaster and Prime Minister are always there to discuss the actions of Guild leadership.

Clause 4. Personal Conduct - KGB members will never be involved in lying to, cheating of, stealing from, or harming the innocent. As a member of KGB it is your responsibility to enforce the code and mission. You must take all of the conduct guidelines into consideration as you perform your duty.

Clause 5. Assistance and Association - You are a member of KGB first. You must be prepared to put guild goals ahead of your own, and your loyally to the Guild above personal friendships and relationships. All members of KGB are expected to perform their duty at all times. KGB members will not associate with criminals and enemies of the guild while they wear the KGB title. If the situation arises that you feel you may have to take action against a friend or family, you have the right to excuse yourself from the situation.

Clause 6. Your Notoriety (Red and Blue) - KGB members are not permitted to be flagged RED, (KGB Marshals of Justice, The KGB GSS,  and members of the Order of the KGB Paladins are exempt from this clause). KGB members that slip to RED must ensure returning to BLUE is their highest priority.  **PLEASE NOTE** KGB members need to do what is necessary to avoid turning RED. If this means altering your tactics, so be it. As the defenders of the innocent and the dealers of justice, we cannot afford to be seen RED.  There are special organizations designed to deal with those who wear the BLUE color but still harm the innocent.

Section II, Rules of Engagement
The following are the rules of engagement that must be applied to each situation that may involve combat. Although the current system is flawed in many ways, it is the only system we have. KGB is judged based on how they act and re-act to these situations.

Clause 1: RED - KGB Armed Forces will attack and kill person or persons of RED alignment when the KGB member feels it is warranted under KGB law. KGB Members must evaluate each person of RED notoriety on a case by case basis. Witnessing a crime being committed or being advised by a trusted individual that the RED in question is a criminal is grounds enough to take action. USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT. It is a KGB member's duty to attack and kill EVIL RED murders that violate the KGB code.

Clause 2. ORANGE - KGB Members will treat all persons of ORANGE notoriety as ALLIES of the guild and will assist them in any way possible.   The Siege Perilous shard custom is not to use the stone to declare war but to identify Allies and friends.

Clause 3. GRAY - KGB Members must evaluate each person of GRAY notoriety on a case by case basis. Just being GRAY is not excuse to attack. You must have seen a crime committed or be advised by a trusted individual that witnessed the crime. Insults, taunting or other forms of verbal attack are NOT grounds for attack. In War Parties, KGB members will wait for orders by the unit commander before attacking GRAY persons.

Clause 4. BLUE - KGB Members will NEVER attack persons of BLUE notoriety. (KGB Marshals of Justice, The KGB GSS,  and members of the Order of the KGB Paladins are exempt from this clause) Only Guild declared an enemy or a special decree by The KGB GuildMaster, Prime Minister, Warlord, Chairman of the KGB High Council or KGB Knight General can permit attack upon blues. YOU WILL STILL BE ACCOUNTABLE for any murder counts you receive regardless of leadership decree.

Clause 5. Newly Resurrected - KGB will not execute the newly resurrected.
** There are special circumstances in which you are allowed to execute a newly resurrected enemy:

ENFORCEMENT OF CONDUCT CODE
