Game: [Kingdom of Loathing](http://www.kingdomofloathing.com) Clan: “Friends of Cecil” Just apply to the clan at the clan district.

Or send me an IM to get whitelisted (I’m “Spung”) We’re a simple clan with just the basics, but it is what we all make it.

If you want to play with Dopers, send a friend request to “aaa SDMB” (the “aaa” part is so it’ll stay at the top of your offline Friends List). How to use it: 1. Send a friend request and get accepted. 2. Hit A on the SDMB Gamertag 3. Hit right and select “View Friends”. 4. Scroll up and down the list and see who’s on the Gamertag and who’s online and what they’re playing. 5. Send invites out. ---

I’m not sure it exactly fits the definition of a guild, but anyway : Game : eRepublik ([Free Online Multiplayer Strategy Game | eRepublik](http://www.erepublik.com/en) ) Name : eDOPE Contacts (SDMB name/ingame name if different) Chessic Sense/Mike Phoenix Clairobscur Dosipede/Amphibious Rodent Oredigger 77 Raza tr0psn4J/Shanttu2 RandMcNally Nicolas Bourbaki fifty-six/ePerson. Capnpitt Preferably, ask for an invitation from one of the above (not me, for some reason, I seem to be unable to send one), since we get 5 gold (a significant amount for us) for each player invited. You can register directly, though. eDopers have recently started to operate a weapon factory in Indonesia (one of the world’s superpower in the game) called “Fighting Ignorants Co”. The game is a kind of geopolitical simulation. When joining, you pick a country (most people tend to pick their IRL country), and the first thing your avatar has to do is finding a job. The game is a bit slow at the beginning, since the options are limited at this point. You work, feed yourself, train for the army… But you level up quite quickly and it has much more depths than it seems at first glance. A lot of things are happening, and though you could play by just clicking on three buttons every day, you could as well play 25 hours/day. You can try to become a mighty soldier, create a newspaper or a company, become a politician…or be involved in more arcane things like spying, diplomacy, worker’s cooperatives, etc… The social aspect of the game is very important, in my opinion. If you don’t keep in touch with other players, try to stay informed about world events, join the local forums, participate in the life of your eNation, you’re going to miss a lot, IMO. It’s also a very international game. Hence, if you start in Brazil, for instance, expect to interact with a lot of Brazilians. The thread that started it is [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=511466). It’s a bit long and might be a bit boring too since one third third is mostly dedicated to “how to find cheap food”, one third to “what company should we create” and one third to “how to operate the company”. However, in practice, most of the time I spend playing is dedicated to the complicated inner workings of the eFrench government (eFrance being a small country where [way too much] active players, even newbies, get a lot of things dumped on their lap). Others, I assume, might be more inclined to follow a military career or something else (I remember a player mentioning he had joined the US national guard, for instance). ---

Game: World of Warcraft Server: Terokkar - US - Horde Guild: [Science Based Alchemy](http://sciencebasedalchemy.guildportal.com) You can join by going to our website (link above) and filling out an application. If you have questions, you can contact Funkdoctor, Torenia, Laenae, Tazillfran, or Potroast in game. I posted a recruitment thread [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=577891). - Description - \ is a World of Warcraft guild that was started by a handful of members of the “Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe” forums. We’re a casual guild that does just about anything. We are new, but we have plans to create a community that is interested in critical thinking, rationalism, and skepticism. We also are starting a blog called “The Skeptical Ready Check” which will be a blog that is primarily contributed to by guild members (any guild members can make contributions) aimed at promoting science, skepticism and critical thinking. After we grow large enough we plan to have tons of guild events and even server-wide events that will promote critical thinking and rationalism to the gaming community. You can still keep a recruiting thread in the forum. If you’d like to join a guild you see listed, please don’t post in this thread - contact the person directly or refer to a recruitment thread. ---

This is not really a guild but the moderator invited us to post this [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=593017).
