Founded: Federation of Free Wanderers

[Pirx Danford]

Hello everybody.

Today I founded the Federation of Free Wanderers as I did not find anything fitting to me.
We are logically not approved yet, but I want to tell about the background and goals nonetheless and maybe the one or the other might be interested in joining.

Mainly the society is about the freedom of the individual and having fun together.
We agree on a Code of Conduct which is in place to protect the principles of the society and by this guarantees the most freedom possible to the individual.

The Code of Conduct replaces the old Codex which is mentioned at the bottom.

Code of Conduct

• We are a society of autonomous people and respect each other as equals.
• We support, advise and help our fellow society members and others when needed and we are up to it.
• We behave in a fair and respectful manner towards everyone.
• We hold our honour and our word in high esteem and will fulfill any commitments we have agreed on as persons or society.

Old Codex

• We are a federation of liberals
• We fight together and support each other
• We act fair and respectfully towards others
• We stand for our word and to our friends

Thanks for reading this announcement and have a nice and lucky day,
Pirx Danford

Just a tiny bump for our new soc announcement! Applications now being taken for any players who are interested in having a nice group of friends to play and learn with.

No bossing around, no bullying, just respect and a group of friends to call on when you need it. If you are a lone wolf like me but still want to have a reliable group of friends to call on and to socialize with when you feel like it, this is it folks. Last but not least, no awful (and wrong) advice will be given, if we aren't 100% sure of something then we won't tell you to do it that way, maybe offer an opinion instead or send you to the forums and guides to check for yourself.

Our illustrous leader is one of the most trustworthy guys you will ever find, lots of fun, and loves helping folks. Don't think I would still be in the game if it weren't for his help and friendship (Tell me if I have any of this wrong oh noble one!)

So, come on folks, lets get those applications rolling for some fun times ahead.

Of course you got nothing wrong bosswoman (you brought that on yourself Lee ).
But calling me noble is a tidbit exaggerated - after all having fun together includes my side also

[Pirx Danford]

As there was some unclarity about the line "- We act fair and respectfully towards others"
I will specify that a bit more.
Thanks Mr. Beck for bringing that one up.

The following explanation can be hopefully adapted to every one of the rules.

First of all it describes the extremes.
Running around naked and yelling diffamities may certainly be offending some people, but running around a mob and wooing it may be just the right thing to do in a certain moment

So if everyone in a spot is having fun one might decide to ignore the request of one of the common "wet blankets" or "Miesmuschel" as we germans do say to behave normally.
As long as one is not insulting that person directly one may keep up having fun!
Or even better, but tremendously complicated, one might want to set out on the task to explain to an austere person the need for fun.

So its all common sense as usual - it's like with rule one (We are a federation of liberals):
if any future member feels like it wants to being bossed around it just might find someone to do that.
If one does not want to claim the right on liberality one has the freedom of giving up on that... even if I believe that such members will join more militaristic organized societies.


Thanks for reading

I'm happy to say we are now three. Thanks to you Pirx and Lee for accepting me Being something of a lone wolf myself, this society suits me perfectly. I can "be my own boss" but still have the support and friendship that comes from being a member of a great society. The rules are pretty simple really:

Respect each other and other players.
Support each other in times of need.
Have fun but don't spoil other people's fun.

I think I've summarised correctly. Any other free thinkers who naturally treat others with respect and don't need to be ordered around should consider joining us at the Federation of Free Wanderers

As of today, I am now a member of the Federation of Free Wanderers. Thank you Mr. Danford for accepting me. I will do my best to make a worthwhile contribution to the society.

Sincerely,
Donald

Welcome aboard Donald Your membership must surely make ours the most stylish and sophisticated society on Calypso

Further applications from the stylish and/or sophisticated welcome.

Beck.

A big welcome to both Beck and Donald as well as those who have now joined but not posted here

Despite some minor hiccups with the start up process and a bit of editing to the code we seem to be on our way! Now I need to get out there and find some more females to join us

[Hrafninn]

Just to keep things clear, from what I have gathered FoFW has nothing to do with Wanderers Society (being the soc leader of the latter and all).

Good luck with the society and I sincerely hope it works out as planned.
