What are guilds and how they work

[fashionchallenged]

1. What is a Guild?
A guild is a group created by a member by paying coins and moolah. Members can join a guild by paying a joining fee of moolah and coins set by the owner of the guild. Once a join request is sent to a guild owner, you must wait for it to be accepted or declined. Your moolah and coins will be returned to your account if your request to join is declined. You must be ranked 3000 or lower before you can request to join a guild. There is a monthly fee of 10 coins and 10,000 moolah which will be automatically deducted from your account on the 1st of each month. If the funds are not available, you will be automatically removed from the guild.

2. What do I have to do in the Guild?
Members of guilds will guild battle other members in Guilds to earn their guild style and hotpoints. By winning guild battles you also earn moolah and style for yourself. Guilds are listed according to rank in the Guild User Directory.

There are also many activities you can participate in while being in a guild:

GOC (Guild Outfit Challenge)
The Guild Outfit Challenge happens on a daily basis. You enter your diva into the challenge, and dress your diva according to the theme.

Guild Survivor
Guild Survivor is a month long competition held a few times a year. One member from each guild participates. It is a very hard task, but also rewarding. You are required to battle as much as you can, enter guild competitions, and GOC's, which all calculate to your overall points for the competition.

Guild Tasks
Guild Tasks consist of either a battle, voting or hot points task. This is where your guild members work together to reach the requirement of battles/votes/hotpoints to complete the task. Your guild is rewarded once a task is complete.

3. What do I get for joining a guild?
First you get more moolah when you win a guild battle. You also get some style if it's a big difference of votes in the win.
Guilds also have benefits cards.
Guild owners can purchase a range of benefit cards for their guild using moolah and coins donated by their guild members.

Here's a list of the cards:



4. What do I need to have to own a Guild?

You must be ranked between 1 and 250.

5. Anything else I should know about guilds?
* Every guild has it's own guild home on the forums, under the Guilds section, Guild Avenue.

* Guild Contests
All members can create a guild contest. Guild contests have rewards of coins and moolah donated to the winners choice of guild. Click here to read the rules of a contest.

6. Guild of the month.
* Guild of the month is something that guilds compete for each month. The way that this is determined is by using a formula, and that formula is
survivor entries * 25
+ tasks won * 10
- tasks lost * 3
+ % of members who entered GOC for the month
+ 5 points for guild home participation
+ 5 points for participation in each guild forum contest and event
at the end of the month, the points are totaled up for all guilds and whoever has the highest amount wins guild of the month.
