In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, I will be taking full 8-man groups of [Sins] Alliance members on VFF runs all night long on Saturday evening starting at 9:30 PM US Eastern Time (GMT-4). I will drink a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey for each Green Item that drops, and a swig of beer for every Gold Item or tome players pick up. Join the fun on Vent to track my progress through the night!
Rules:
- Must be full 8 person team, no Heroes or Henchmen.
- Must have Unwakening Waters Kurzick, and Hard Mode in Cantha.
- Must be Alliance members.
- Members who participate must donate the faction to their guild.
- Event ends when no more 8-man teams can be formed, or Valens passes out.
Disclaimers:
- Valens is over the age of 21... and then some.
- Valens and the [Sins] Alliance doesn't support or condone in any way underage drinking.
- Valens will be safely conducting the runs from the comforts of home, and will not be driving a vehicle or operating heavy machinery till Monday morning.
- Valens will stop drinking when speech becomes to impaired, or he falls out of his chair.
If you decide to join me in drinking that evening, please drink responsibly!

Hope you all had a great New Years, and best wishes for 2009. Now that the Alliance is full with some great guilds, we'll be planning some contests, and start coordinating more Alliance groups for Faction, HM/Elite Missions, UW/FOW, Vanquishing, and perhaps some PvP. Have fun this year!

After our Sins Officer meeting held this past weekend (9-20-08) it was decided that Sins Officers will be organizing groups for various PvE and PvP outings. Our hope is to help everyone obtain their titles a bit faster, and have fun together as a guild and Alliance. The venue for posting the scheduled group shall be the Sins Alliance PvE forum, and the Sins Alliance PvP forum.
Any Alliance member is welcome to use the forums to organizing a group, so please come take advantage of the opportunity to title up together! Visit the page often, and post a reply if you are interested in an event. See you all soon!!

I refuse to lower my standards and let Bot guilds into the Sins Alliance or allow alliance members to use bot programs to obtain faction (or anything else for that matter). Because of this, Sins will not be competitive enough to even take Altrumm Ruins. If ANET decides to do anything about the bot infestation in Lutgardis, I may consider getting back into faction, but its not likely. Sins new focus will be on all PvE titles (including Kurzick), and starting a PvP program (most likely GvG). We will still hold some faction I'm sure for our members working on their Kurzick title, but there will be no faction req.
We will be taking in Guilds that share our new focus starting Monday September 8, 2008. GL's can whisper Abaren Valens if you are interested in joining the Sins Alliance.

I have taken back the role of Guild Leader of the Seven Deadly [Sins] as of last evening (July 28, 2008), and plan on rebuilding a Faction Alliance. I’ll begin recruitment of members starting next week when I have a couple officers in place, and bring in guilds when we have a couple mil faction.
Will [Sins] be an HzH contender once again? Anything is possible, but it is not in my plans, at least not this week.
Stay tuned for more.

We have a few new guilds in the alliance (and I know some of our seasoned members could use a refresher from time to time), and at peak playing times Alliance Chat (AC) can get overwhelming at times. For the sake of your fellow gamers and friends let us all do our best to keep idle and random chatter down to a light roar. - Nothing positive to say; Don't say it
- Everyone is at different skill levels and experience, help, don't be mean.
- If it is not Game related keep it to Guild Chat.
- I would love to talk Foot Ball all day in AC, but simply, most people don't care.
- Sharing is nice, but we don't need a play-by-play.
- Gratz on a great drop! We don't need to know, but hey GZ!
- Keep Selling, Buying, Price Checking, and begging off of AC.
- There are a lot of better places to do this ie. LA/KC/Kamadan
- Common sense
- Be polite, treat other people how you want to be treated.
- Two of the same guild members should keep their conversations in Guild Chat.
- Whispers have not been nerfed.
- etc,etc,etc
In all we just want to keep the game enjoyable for everyone here. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- E D I T ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ I have had a few people question why WTS/WTB are not allowed in AC. This policy was debated in our last GL and Officer meetings and here is the rationalization behind the Alliance's decision. - Keep AC spam down;
- We thought about setting spam restrictions on how often you can sell or buy, however no one volunteered to sit down with a timer and time people who were selling/buying.
- 10 guild, 2 people per guilds wanting to sell at any give time is a lot of added chatter, plus people responding to the wtb/wts from people with interest along with people who feel they need to comment on how what that person is selling sucks, or is over priced.
- Fighting;
- Some ppl feel that other people in the alliance should be selling at discounts, others will want to take advantage of newer players. GL's and Officers do not need to be taking care of people who felt they got a bum deal.
- Arguments about what a item is worth is bound to be a problem. Again this is not worth the hassle to officers and GL's.
- Where to go;
- The vast majority of people do not look at AC when they are wanting to buy or sell. They goto the many in game places to buy and sell where people are looking to do the same. The majority of the time a WTS/WTB in AC is just ignored, people just do not turn to AC for that type of service, there for a WTB/WTS in AC is nothing more than spam.

Sins Alliance started in the cold early November months when two Guild Leaders (Ghanima [TLS] and Valens [ZEN]) from the [TLS] Alliance joined their respective guilds core Faction Farming members to create an premier Factions Guild to consolidate the Alliance's hold on House Zu Heltzer.
Sins Was officially founded December 2nd, 2006. Under the combined Banners [TLS & Sins] The Seven Deadly [Sins] Alliance held HzH for a record 16 months achieving multiple records; Most Faction Donated in a 24hr period (20 Million. 44.5 Million in 48 Hours), Highest Alliance Faction (96 Million), and the Alliance record of 15.3 Million Faction for a single guild. No other Alliance in Guild Wars can claim the sheer volume of faction or come close to comparing the number of Kurzick Savior Titles. In that time the Alliance grew tremendously, we made many friends across all aspects of the game and in July of 2007, (With GW:EotN on the Horizon, GW2 announced, and after reaching a record of 96 Million Alliance Faction) [Sins] began the move to a PvE Title Hunting Guild and Alliance. With the change we had many heart felt good-byes to many friends, some of which have returned, and began our change from a Faction Alliance to a PvE/Social Alliance.
To this day we can celebrate many accomplishments and friendships from all over the globe in this Alliance. We continue our philosophy that this is a game, and it is necessary to keep it fun and enjoyable for all of our members.
