To Enter GWF You Need:
- at least one flute, preferably in good condition
- to post a message with the magic word "flute" in it at either the MM6 or Lobby boards of the 3DO Community , thus attracting our attention, or alternatively c-mail/e-mail DaveO, our Initiations and Promotions Procedures Moderator.
- to have completed the Mandate of Heaven (optional, this is to avoid being spoiled)
- a flat membership fee of 899999999 Euros (Enrothian Unicorn Rate Oboloi)-each Euro=1 Enrothian gold piece.
The money is to be deposited to Loretta Fleise's personal account in Silver Cove (you can do this from any bank in Enroth) within your first 136 years of membership, and covers administration fees for your first 189 years in GWF. Each additional year after 189 will cost ONLY 399 Euros.
- to complete our initiation ritual, as explained below
- assuming you will be admitted, you will need a title for yourself (ie your position in the guild, eg "flute tester" or "flute polisher" or something). Just tell DaveO and you will be added automatically.
The GWF Initiation (White Cap) Ritual:
Take your flute and go to White Cap, on the last day of the last week of December (any December). There, you must climb or fly to the top of the Dragon Tower, located just north of the city (flying is the only spell you are allowed to use during the ritual). Holding the flagpole with your right hand, you must play "Summoning Of The White Goblin" (by Mdme Silvertongue, (c)1071 Silver Cove,Loretta Fleece Publications) using only your left hand to do so. Your quest is over once the White Goblin arrives to the dragon tower. Note that you must be entirely naked throughout the process.
As one could imagine, this otherwise simple quest (older members do this thing every morning as exercise) requires:
1. the ability to play the flute well, including the particular melody (if you do not happen to know it, you can download the tune from our main page).
2. Intellect>200 in order to be able to play the flute with only one hand (your left hand).
3. Might>300 to manage to stay upside down throughout the ritual on only one hand (your right hand).
4. Agility>166 to balance on the flagpole (note that your body must be straight).
5. Endurance>266 to do all this naked in White Cap on New Year's Eve.
6. Spell Power>100 to summon the White Goblin before you get too tired.
7. Luck>150 to not fall off the Dragon Tower and break your neck.
The GWF will provide healing potions and First Aid spells (free of charge) to applicants who become injured while trying to complete this ritual, however, it will NOT be held responsible for any damages, physical, mental or material (eg broken flutes) resulting from failure to complete the ritual (namely, falling off the tower and breaking your neck). The best you could hope for is for your flute to be perhaps repaired by one of our members present at the time.
Even though GWF (as explained in our Charter) is based on complete equality among its members, our guild master (Her Fluteliness gamegurl) retains the right to refuse any applications and/or ostracise members, for whatever reasons she sees appropriate, without the obligation to disclose these reasons to the applicant/outcast or any other member.
So who else is in this guild?
