CLAN FOUNDATIONS & PHILOSOPHY
The Rune Lounge started in August 2015 with many members from another clan. For a number of reasons we decided to make a fresh start, with a few key differences. The main idea behind our democratic governance is to avoid having any one member of the leadership team becoming overly dominant or having a detrimental power block. The Clan Leader, Deputies and Overseers are held accountable to the clan for how they enact the clan philosophy.
Our basic philosophy ensures a community where people both give and receive respect regardless of any differences in how much they have played, what their levels are, what they do in real life, or any personal characteristics or life choices. Therefore disrespectful behaviour are not allowed in the clan : elitism, boasting, directed insults, general insults toward any specific groups of people by race, age, gender, ****** preferences etc.
We also expect mature behaviour, such as not acting like a spoiled brat or with infantile humour, but do not restrict clan entry by age, because we believe maturity is not necessarily tied to chronological age.
"Life is a curious thing. We puff ourselves up believing we mean something but in the end we're all nothings - mere chaff blown on the wind. We look for purpose when there is none, projecting our fantasies onto an uncaring void and trying to draw comfort from them.We all have coping mechanisms. I have my own philosophy and you have yours - they are all equally banal, so there's no point fighting over them or even in politely disagreeing. One puff and it's all gone anyway, into that great silence that cares nothing for opinions nor views. Nobodies going nowhere, frittering away what little time we have trying to forget the inevitable and obscure the truth - such are our lives..."
