Welcome to Step One of the Wilderness Guardians Application Process.
To begin, please make sure you read all of the rules below! Once you have finished these rules, scroll to the bottom of this post and follow the link to Step Two!
Below are the rules and policies for WG.
You are reminded that this is just a guideline.
You are required to apply the rules to your time in WG using common sense.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Wilderness Guardians Rules
Obey The Runescape Rules- Doing so gives us a positive reputation in-game.
- You will not compromise your account or another member's account.
- JaGeX will not consider our clan a threat to the game if we follow their rules.
Show Courtesy At All Times- This means no flaming, spamming or begging.
- This includes being courteous to people outside the clan. Consider our reputation.
- Deliberately ignoring or excluding other members is considered to be in breach of this rule.
- If a person offends you, and you insult them back, you will both be punished regardless of who started it.
- Before calling a person names as a joke, be sure they will take it as a joke, and not the wrong way.
Do Not Compromise The Clan's Privacy- Do not publicly talk about sensitive clan information such as event times.
- Do not privately provide clan information to people outside the clan.
- If told something privately by a member, you must not state that information publicly without that member's permission.
- Do not invite people to our events without permission from the Event Leader.
Follow The Chain Of Command- Follow the commands given by a leader at all times.
- Do not do things that only leaders can do, such as declare wars or decline an application.
- Unless you are a tertiary leader, council, or primary leader, you may not command other members, even if they have a lower rank than you.
- All members should not show less respect to newer members.
- Event leaders have authority over raid leaders in non wilderness events, and vice versa in wilderness events.
You Must Not Show Favouritism- Leaders can't be biased because of personal relationships with members or how long they have been in the clan.
- Do not cause harm to a member based on personal dislike.
- Never expect a leader to show favouritism toward you.
WG Has Priority Over Other Clans- You are allowed to join Skilling Clans or Community-only clans
- However, you may not be in another PVP clan apart from the Wilderness Guardians.
- You may join PVP teams, but do remember that if you skip a WG mandatory for a team's event, no matter how important it is, we WILL find out.
- Raids, Wars, PKRI's and major non-wilderness events (such as anniversary events) have priority over the events of any other clan or team.
Certain Events are Mandatory- The usual policy of this clan is that you can choose your level of commitment, and attend what you like.
- The first exception is that you must attend all major fights unless occupied or asleep in real life. These occur every few weeks and last no longer than an hour.
- If you are online at the time of an official raid, you must attend. Spontaneous unprepared raids (PK Trips), are still optional to attend.
- For major fights that involve sign-ups over the forums, you must sign up, even if you cannot attend.
You Must Visit the Forums Regularly- As a general rule, it is a good idea to visit the forums daily to check for major announcements. If you cannot afford this time, twice a week is adequate.
- If you are unable to view the clan's forums twice a week, you should post a topic of inactivity to say so. This inactivity must be short term (usually no longer than a month) and cannot be ongoing.
- The only topics you are required to post on are sign-ups for major fights. All other topics are optional posting.

Wilderness Guardians Requirements
To join the Wilderness Guardians, you are required to have certain levels. We have these requirements in order to ensure that every member we receive has the skills needed to gain the most from this clan.
Requirements to Apply for membership:
Level Requirements:-
You must have 110+ Free-To-Play Combat when applying for WG.
You must have 70+ Range when applying for WG.
Conditional Requirements:-
1) Must not be a member of another PVP clan when applying.
2) Must be an IRC user. Must connect to IRC and be on regularly.
3) Most recent clan must not be a disreputable clan.
4) Must make an introduction before applying.
5) Must be willing to install Teamspeak and be willing to connect during important events.
6) Agreement to participate in at least one weekly event.
7) Have fighting equipment ready for use at all times.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Wilderness Guardians Rights
You have certain rights that nobody can take away from you. Despite the rules mentioned above, there are things that a leader cannot restrict. You will have these rights at all times.
You May Speak Against The Leadership- If you don't like what the leaders are doing, you will never be punished for saying so. We will not show bias against you on a professional level if you speak out, as long as you are polite. If you flame, this breaches our rule about showing courtesy.
- You may not, however, start a movement to overthrow or go against the leadership. This breaches our rule about following the chain of command.
You Are Able To Leave The Clan At Any Time- We cannot stop you from leaving, and if you choose to leave, we will remove you from our member list.
- There is one exception. Council members and the Primary Leader must give two weeks notice before they can resign.
You May Refuse To Attend An Event- All events are optional, with one minor exception. You must attend wars/official raids/PKRIs unless you are occupied in real life. If you are occupied in real life, you have to at least post on the sign-up sheet saying so. (I.e. - If you are online in RuneScape, you are required to come to whatever war/pkri/raid is on at the time.)
- You will never be forced to sacrifice your real life commitments for this clan.
- You may also leave an event at any time. However, you have to have been part of the event for a reasonable amount of time to be counted in attendance.
You Will Never Be Forced To Pay Anything- We will never force you to give money. If asked, you may refuse.
- However, you are required to have the appropriate equipment for an event. If you don't have the necessary equipment, you may not attend.
We Cannot Make You Choose Your Friends- You may be friends with whoever you wish, even if they are enemies of the clan.
- You may even have them added over Runescape, but at your own risk.
- However, we will not let you provide them with clan-only information.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Wilderness Guardians Code of Honour
While PKing, there is a code of honour that guides us. This code of honour ensures that we provide fair combat to our enemies and also maintain high standards for ourselves.
During Clan Raids/PK Events- No killing people who are in the wilderness who are CLEARLY not there for a fight, for example EP gainers.
- No deliberately crashing an organised fight between two or more clans, unless one or more of those clans is an enemy of WG
- Do not wear welfare gear. On f2p, full warring gear is expected as the minimum to raids, and on P2P gear worth at least 200k cumulatively is required
- Running away from a clan that is clearly overpowering us is acceptable.
- Teleporting away from battle is not allowed
- Logging out of a battle is not allowed
- Luring is acceptable, as long as you don't backstab (eg. Ask them to join your team)
When participating in a PK event hosted by another clan- No killing non-Pking players. Maintain the antiRPKing standards. If someone looks like they are PKing, you have leave to attack.
- No crashing organised fights by two or more other clans, unless one is an enemy of WG
- Other than that, you are subject to the honour codes (or lack there of) of the other clan
Whilst PKing by yourself or with a small team of friends- As usual you must not kill a solo player who is clearly in the wilderness for non-PKing reasons. 76kers should not be attacked.
- You must not 1-item someone in full gear, unless they are enemies of the clan.
- Tagging is acceptable if the opponents are also tagging. Jumping a death match is unacceptable
- Teleporting/Logging/Running is acceptable, but not encouraged.
- Luring is acceptable, as long as you don't backstab (eg. Ask them to join your team)
Now that you have finished reading the rules, proceed to step two by going to this page.
