Guilds/zFree

Guild location is River Plains 1407, 2942.

Guild Purpose: "To provide the facilities that enable us to achieve our individual and collective goals."

Guild rules for working together

• We are a large guild, so it is important that we all follow some common guidelines.

1. No personal buildings in the zfree camp.  No clutter, or test buildings, please. It is a shared space.
   There is room reserved along the north and south boundaries for fountains and other test buildings.

2. Conserve materials: Use guild materials appropriately. If you aren't sure, ask! 

3. Give and take: Donations are always welcome - look for the warehouses! 

4. Respect the Environment: No pollution north of the Guild Hall - so we can continue to grow flax and vegies close to camp.

5. Ask first: Always ask an elder if you aren't sure about anything.

6. Collaborate with courtesy: zfree was founded as a no drama space! The zfree elders work together to enforce this.  

Schematic Grounds plan - for discussion

STOP PRESS

• Guild applications are now closed - we have a size 90 guild hall, 85 members with 14 applications for the 'last' 5 slots. While donations of bricks and boards are appreciated, the cost of expansion is now very high, and we need to move to other priorities to support our existing members. You can still recommend a new applicant at any time, although acceptance is not guaranteed.

• Guild Priorities Ahket 1-18 7.00am - Still working on boards and bricks for compound and equipment building and straw to attract a camel. Several new buildings have already gone up, and equipment is being installed! Chariot Repair is still a region priority project and should be on timer in the next 24 hrs. Hurrah! And thank you to all who have helped and will continue to help with research mats.

• zfree Shared Behaviours: A few people have been asking for some zfree 'rules'. This is something we all have to think about before we agree on anything. So, this week's discussion point if you get a chance is "What are the behaviours that we should hold ourselves accountable for upholding, that make uniquely who we are? OR more succinctly "What are the most important team rules we should all play by?". Here are some of my ideas to start things off:

we listen - your ideas and experiences are important to us all
we work as a team - we feel good when things get done efficiently
we enjoy ourselves - and help other feel good too
