Edit: THank you for hte move :D
I have seen that a lot of people are wondering what the point is of Fusion. That is, what separates it from every other guild out there. The point of our guild, as we know, is in our name. THe point is to be a clos eguild, based upon more than the fact htat we play gunbound, but upon the fact that we can count on each other for support and friendship. To emphasize that, I have some ideas that will show the GB world out there that we are close. Coming form a fraternity, and organization that has mastered this art, I have some things up myu sleeve ;)
Not any weird rituals or anything like that lol, but here are just a few ideas (I might post more later):
Something to say if you see another fusion member (instead of the usual "hey, whats up")
Some guidelines to apply. Like Fusion members must be on the same team if possible.
Using everyone by their first name, or even a Fusion-endowed nickname that is separate from their real name or game id.
Internal Activities and/or discussions that let us get to know one another more as people.
When you are close with a group, people will notice and it will show. People will also say " I want that sort of kinship", which is what I believe Fusion is about. But I don't want us to have devices like these jsut for show. I want them to come from a sincere heart.

Weird Rituals like that? :>
I actually really like what you posted. FuSioN members should show respect to eachother (and others). That is, in fact, one of the requirements of our guild. And people that aren't being sincere and kind from the heart will show, ... yea those people we don't want in our guild......... *drknecro pops into head....*
Working off what you said, another rule to add... if the 4v4 game consists of 5 FuSioNs, obviously 1 will be left out. Make sure this doesn't happen! They may seem fine, but playing with randoms against your friends makes it seem like they aer getting the short end of the stick....
All of this is amazing. I cant thank the both of you for talking about this... because it sparked a hell of a lot of thinking for me.
The reason why this guild chose the name "Fusion" was because of the fusion of each and every person, in a sense, when we each enter the world of this game. Sure, it maybe some impossible dream world that can be accessed over the computer, but it still brings us all together.
What my dream for fusion is to have a Guild full of friends, or full of amazing individuals who have grown to become friends with each other... referring to each other by their first name and not by their user name... because this seems a bit more personal.
It have made it a point to memorize each and every single guild member's name because i feel that it brings us one step closer to being great friends.
FuSioN revolves around teamwork... because it is extremely important in game.
Unfortunately, we are not a guild who focuses on something specific, like nS`T for example, who only allows pure creature players to join.
We dont have anything like that... but one thing we do have... is Unity and Support for one another.
I try to accept people into this guild... who communicate nicely... with good vocabulary... and who do not type their words with 'shrtkuts' (short cuts) or whatever the heck it may be.
We are a guild who revolves only around respect. Unity. Teamwork. Friendship. Kindness. and Understanding.
Our Guild is a FuSioN of people from around the globe... who are willing and have the determination to play a game as a large and cooperative team.
I am so proud to have you all in this guild. You have no idea. I am so extremely proud. You guys are the kindest, most understanding, most respectable people whom i know... and I bow my head to you... in respect of who you are as individuals.
Right now... there's this feeling inside of me. The feeing of being proud. And truly am... of each and every individual in this guild... because each of you make a difference. Each of you make a strong difference to the gunbound community... and once again... it is an honor to be your Guild Leader.
Take care.
Mark--I'm really proud of you for coming up with this thread. It will begin Fusion on a path of success, helping to ensure that we stick together. :^_^:
I'm in no state of mind to think of these keys myself, but I will return as they come to me.

Thank you very much, Naren and Keith. I am happye that we can give you such a feeling. :D
Ok, ok, since my fraternity is the best thing I hvae to go off of right now, I'm gonna use that as a loose template.
Here are some principles:
Bros before hoes ;)
Brothers share
If a brother is in need, there is no reason not to help him
Make fun of each other only out of love. (ever notice the closer you are with
someone, the more you tease them but in good fun? LIke me an keith)
The bond of brotherhood surpasses all minor disputes.
Someone can insult you, but they can't insult your brother (unless its another brother lol)
What affects one brother, affects the brotherhood
Some of those are similar in nature, but you get the drift.
Now here are some things that help keep this in mind. NOw, this is borderline because these are mostly secrets and the fact that some of them exist i salso secret (of course i won't be telling you the secrets, just that they exist):
Our name, Theta Tau, has a very distinct and secret meaning.
Each part of our coat-of-arms, which you con see as my avatar, has meaning.
We have two secret passwords to get in a meeting, one of which is used at the door, as well as a secret handshake. These all have meaning.
We have two secret ways of recognizing another brother (though I have never seen these used lol).
We sign letters and emails to each other with a closing that only we know and has meaning to us.
We know our history very well.
We have a song that only we have memorized.
Stuff like that. Some if it might spark ideas, some of it might be useless. Please don't tell anyone about these things. Not that anyone here would care, but I've seen things spread like wildfire that seemed so confined.

LOLOLOLOL! So true, So true! ;):
lol
I think it is time to reveal my name .... and
*drumroll*
*more drumrolls*
*heart beats*
SPENCER!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Its great to finally know your name, Spencer =D
Hm... which of these things should we take and use for our own though? I think these are all great ideas though =D
QuoteWe have a song that only we have memorized.
We need one of those... *goes off to write music and/or lyrics*
Roflmao! Lyrics! We should make a Fusioners theme song...
We could also get a sporting goods company... to make us a hat with Fusion on it or something... or a jacket or something/fleece that says "FuSioNer" or "The FuSioN Guild" Roflmao
I guess this is now going to be taken care of Spencer and Steven! =D
I shall unpin this until they would like me to pin it back.
