Knights Announcements...
PostPosted: Mon Aug 02, 2004 7:03 pm
Ok, people, check in! All knights need to post here to show that their being Active...anyway...I am some what angered about the laxity that we've been showing, but I suppose thats my fault....However, I will adress one issue:
If you are not a Knight, you may not Join in Knight activities, unless they are mean't to be member/non-member activities! Also, too many people have been joining and dissapearing. I understand that some days you don't feel like posting, and somtimes you have to go away for awhile, but you must stay active or we'll just have alot of names and nothing happening...Finally, I've decided to institute a Knights Oath. This isn't some cult "Swear fealty to the Knights" crap, I swear it. The Oath will read out like this:
I (whoever it is) Hereby swear that I join this body of believers to invigorate and encourage our fellow members of C.A.A., and realize that this is a commitment, involving my word. I also swear to quit this body should it ever be corrupted by fanatism and cultic behavior, wherein it would no longer be a blessing but a burden to the mods and our fellow members. I swear that I will obey the rules of C.A.A, and submit to the rulings and descisions of the Moderators and Administrators before anyone on this board. I swear finally to serve God in all things, obeying his word and keeping myself clean and wholesome for his kingdom."
This is not a board group to lounge in, but a body of believers who wish to aid others. I hope that this brings new life into the Knights. I will not edit the Oath any more than this, I think, becuase anything else would sound too cultic and closed. For those who merely want to have fun, you would do well to join either the Elf clan or the Wolf clan, both of which are wonderful groups dedicated to enjoyment. Those of you who choose to join are asked to serve God and dedicate at least a part of your net time at least once a week to being on C.A.A and checking for any new projects and announcements. This is actually just a suggestion, not a requirement, but a strong suggestion all the same. Please understand, I love that people are getting into this, but too few understand what I ask of you when you join the Knights. This Oath will bind a member to their word until or unless they leave the Knights. No creepy rules or rituals, save for the odd Knight dual, or somthing to that affect, as I see no reason to attempt to improve upon the rules which the Mods have already perfected. Once again, please understand, I'M NOT TRYING TO SET UP SOME KIND OF WEIRD CULT. I dislike having too much power, which is why I've kept trying to get a council together, people who will have the power to overturn me if needed. I also may quit the Knights one day, leaving you to grow on your own. I merely hope to leave a legacy on C.A.A....However, if you (the knights) go out of line, (breaking rules repeatedly) you will be exiled from the Knights.
THat is all..

....anyway...Keep checking in, talk about what you think about the Oath....whatever.
). When school starts, like most people, I won't be able to be on as much.
