Guilds of Nullus Anxietas (updated Feb 2011)
Guilds are an opportunity to have some fun with other attendees, as well as enjoy a bit of healthy inter-guild competition.
And no, you don’t have to be in a Guild – but we think you’ve got nothing to lose, and perhaps something to gain (ie: more fun!) if you join one.
For the 2011 convention, you can join one of four Guilds:
1. Assassins
2. Beggars
3. Alchemists
4. Thieves
In response to feedback from many of you that the original Guilds proposals were too complex, we have decided to run a more free-form system of awarding points. Each Guild will be aiming to:
- win as many points as possible.
- have as much fun as possible1
- entertain the convention as much as possible.
Guild Points can be awarded by:
- Members of the committee, for help running events and enthusiastic contributions to the convention.
- The people running events, for out-standing and enthusiastic contributions to their event.
- For instance, if you appear in the Maskerade you will earn a Guild point.
There will be a trophy for the winning Guild awarded at the Closing Ceremony on Sunday. The rules are:
1 Lord Vetinari’s decision is final. He may take into account the relative sizes of the guilds, the enthusiasm they have shown and the fun generated.
2 In case of dispute2, please refer to rule number 1.
Not sure which Guild you joined
If you go to the Attendees page, your guild is shown after your name. If you requested that your name be hidden on the list, then you will need to contact us. If you did not join a guild but wish to do so now, please email enquiries@ausdwcon.org with your request.
Forums
We have set up threads on the Programme and Activities Forum for each guild to plot, plan and have fun1!
