Guilds/HHOFW

Welcome to HHOFW

Located in Meroe at 815, -2965, just north of the big round lake (sometimes referred to as Pacman Lake) between the Nile branches.

Welcome to Helping Hands Of Friends Worship guild! We are a sub guild of HHOF dedicated to Worship tests, with a focus on the Test of the Vigil.

Current Projects

The guild CP will need to have chests, brick racks, ovens, rocksaws, and mason benches built.

Vigil

General

HHoFW vigils are run on a donation basis; we attempt, through donations and the efforts of guild members, to stockpile sufficient materials to fully meet the requirements of a 48+ hour vigil. Participants are required to bring nothing, but donations are welcome and appreciated. (Participants need to have signed up at UWorship for Test of the Vigil.)

During the vigil, one guild elder will always be acting as the leader. That person will maintain a list of the individuals currently participating. The leader will assign sacrifices to those individuals on a round robin basis, withdrawing the required mats from guild storage and giving them to the individual to whom a sac is assigned.

Participants are required to join the HHoFW guild; guild house is at 816 -2967 (Meroe on the North shore of Pacman Lake). The vigil itself will be held on the "island" near the guild house. Several ferries are available to facilitate travel to the site. (Actually, the island is not an island -- there is a land bridge at 849 -2939 which can be used should it be more convenient or the ferries unavailable.)

Upon arrival at the vigil site, guild members who which to join the group currently being given sacs should announce to the leader their arrival and request to be added to the active list.

Individuals in the current active sac list are expected to be available and reasonably close to the vigil leader when it is their turn to make a sacrifice. If you are AFK or not nearby, the leader may skip you and move on to the next name on the list. Some sacrifices may exceed your carry capacity, so try to stand within range of the vigil fire, while being in a spot where the leader can easily see and select you (so as to give you mats). Participants are free to leave and return as often as they like, however, when doing do, please inform the leader so the list can be updated. Similarly, when going AFK or logging out, please also inform the leader.

Please do not ask to sac unless you have not passed Test of the Vigil. In the past there was a myth which surfaced from time to time that the more people who participated in a vigil, including those who have passed, the better it was. In fact, as simply doing some arithmetic with the scoring system will show, anytime a person who has passed makes a sacrifice instead of someone who has not, the only effect is to lower the points credited to at least one person who needs to pass.

Again, we operate through donations. Please do consider helping out.

Material Needed and Inventories

Please see the materials page.

Schedule

We are attempting to do a vigil January 30 through February 1. Whether this happens will depend on whether sufficient material donations are received.
