Initiate = Evaluation Period
What does “Initiate” mean? To me it means someone who was invited to the guild a short time ago, and is esentially on a trial period. For some, they will prove a trustworthy, valuable asset within hours of joining the guild, others may take time, and others still may prove themselves to be beligerant, greedy, or otherwise not a good fit for our guild.
While there is not currently an official “evaluation period” or set of guidelines to go by either to become a member (out of being an initiate), nor what sorts of things a member+ should do with or for an initiate, it may be a good idea to extend common courtesy. If you feel generous and want to give time or gold when asked, go ahead, but overly greedy behavior should be reported… As should anything else you find off-color to the guild, or your own comfort.
