We follow our creed, which stands as a guide and the final word of the law of or Brotherhood.
1. Respect the elders. 2. Teach the young. 3. Cooperate with the Brotherhood. 4. Train when you can. 5. Fight when you must. 6. Rest in between. 7. Share your affections. 8. Voice your feelings. 9. Leave your mark.
The nine points of the creed are explained as so:
1. Respect the elders. Elders are the high ranks of AB and some of the most dedicated to the way of the brotherhood. They have gotten to their position by hard work, determination, competence, and showing they know what it means to swear oath to the Brotherhood. They should be treated with a higher form of respect than most members and they are a few things you must follow in order to show them that respect.
- Never refer to them by their username, unless asked to. Always address them by their rank or by sir or ma'am. This is an important sign of respect. Always call the person by whatever they prefer and only if given permission by that high rank.
- Listen to their advice. Your elders have been in the group a lot longer than you, which means they have probably experienced more and have grown very wise or very cranky. They are here to help you and guide you along the way up the ranks. They have been in your position, they know what you are going through. Listen what they have to offer.
-Offer to help. With the few HRs we have to take care of all the new members, it can really overwhelm. They will appreciate any assistance you're willing to give them. Ask to fill in for them at an event, teach one of the initiates what he or she needs to get ranked up, or something else that is simple but genuine.
- Use basic manners. A simple please and thank you can mean a lot. Always be polite and sincere. Try to avoid slang if able.
2. Teach the young. The young, or the newer members are a huge part of our Brotherhood, as well as the elders. The elders must teach them the way of the Brotherhood. How we do things, how we cooperate as a team. It is up to the elders to teach them those ways. It is important we keep an atmosphere that they can learn, grow, and progress along with the elders.
It is important that the elders know exactly what we must teach to the young. It is up to the elders to teach the young.
They must know when it there is a time to play, and a time to work. During trainings, raids, meetings, those are not times to play. Those are times to be serious, and discuss things, train or take care of enemies.
In addition to our own Creed, they must know the three tenets of the Assassin's Creed.
The young, or new recruits, need to learn the following:
-How the Brotherhood works How the Mentors and elders run things, how we train the young, and the rules of the Brotherhood.
-What we expect of you This will be based off of activity, how well you follow orders, your combat skills, and so on.
-How each elder is Some elders, like we said, have grown cranky and wise. So we need the young to know how each elder is, like each elder needs to know how the young are.
3. Cooperate with the Brotherhood. Cooperation leads to productivity, "team morale", and a generally good working atmosphere. Cooperation is important within the Brotherhood because we are all a family that trains,fights, and works together. it is important that we all stick together and work as a team
Cooperation means a sense of unity, of enthusiasm for common interests and responsibilities, as developed among a group of persons closely associated in a task, cause, enterprise, etc.
Cooperation and teamwork can be likened to two compounds, almost essential to modern life. It’s the glue which keeps a team together, a bond which promotes strength, unity, reliability and support.
Cooperation is also the oil that makes the team work. It can enable smoother movement towards targets, can prolong forward momentum, and can help teams to overcome obstacles.
Teamwork has the potential to underpin so much of what is valuable in work. In fact, the benefits to be gained from teamwork synergies are essential for the effective management of resources.
4. Train when you can. Finding and keeping members with the knowledge and skills to get the job done is critical in today’s groups. A skilled fighting force is often the key to a groups growth and stability, and it could be the determining factor in the success of the Brotherhood.
The benefits to training regularly are: - increased productivity - higher retention rate - more vibrant and engaged team - better team performance - increased participation and communication - increased member confidence
Training is a great way to hone in on your skills, learn some new ones, and have fun. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes to an hour of training everyday, this can be accomplished by attending any AB training.
5. Fight when you must. Defending territory of the brotherhood is just as important as training. It can mean the difference with reputation among other clans, sprouting new allies; or enemies. Here are some things to keep in mind when on the battlefield:
-Know your goal Not all bases are alike, some require KOs and some require holding a flag for a certain amount of time. So adapt your strategy accordingly. Sneaking around an enemy blockade would be better than trying to take it down in a matter of capture the flag as trying to get past and into the base would not be smart in a matter of a KO battle.
-Analyze the battlefield It can be hard to see what is going on in battle like where your teammates are and where the most pressure is needed. That is why before plunging yourself into the heat of combat always stop and look over the battle. You may notice teammates besides you that you can coordinate with, enemies you didn't see hiding, and strategic points you didn't notice were there.
Same goes for bases, not all bases are the same. Scout out a base accordingly so you don't end up running around and wasting valuable time where you could be getting the flag or those few extra KOs.
-Adjust your strategy accordingly You may have already developed a strategy that works well for you and you commonly use. But a strategy that worked well against fellow AB members in training may not do so well against an enemy. Learn to adjust your strategy and fighting style accordingly against certain enemies or points of attack.
6. Rest in between. Rest is an important as to not overwhelm yourself with group activity. It is acknowledged that activity in a group is important, but too much activity can be a bad thing. Prioritize real life over the group and make sure if you are having a bad day, take a day off from the group.
7. Share your affections. Every individual in the Brotherhood shares a certain relationship with his or her fellow members. Human beings are not machines who can start working just at the push of a mere button. They need people to talk to, discuss ideas with each other and share their happiness and sorrows. An individual cannot work on his or her own, he or she needs people around. If the organization is all empty, you will not feel like sitting there and working. An isolated environment demotivates an individual and spreads negativity around. It is essential that people are comfortable with each other and work together as a single unit towards a common goal.
8. Voice your feelings. How you express your feelings or opinions (or not) is a direct reflection upon how people experience who you are and what you represent as a member, leader, and as an individual. Your voice defines the value you bring to the group. In most cases, your identity is misrepresented because your voice does not consistently communicate what is really on your mind. If this sounds too familiar, it is apparent that you are not performing at your most optimum levels.
The importance of speaking up are as followed:
- Organizational Performance Your performance at work begins to wane when your voice is not heard. Speaking-up fuels discussion, ideation and group-think. It’s important to discuss issues openly in order to get input, feedback and invite perspective. As you voice your opinion, those around you provide inputs that you can then evaluate as you decipher your final decisions that may influence your plan of action.
Voicing your opinion can create and convert those same conversations into meaningful topics to help you drive more sustainable performance outcomes.
-Command Respect When you voice your opinion consistently, you set a tone for yourself. You begin to command respect from those who are not courageous enough to express themselves. But with expectation, comes responsibility. Therefore, be careful with the tone your voice creates and manage it.
A consistent voice will command respect only when it is responsibly managed.
- Strengthen Your Influence A strong voice can strengthen your influence. Many times the one with a consistent voice is the individual that is asked to lead a meeting, start a new project or is the one that is asked to speak with those who have influence to move an initiative forward. Once your voice is discovered, it can help mobilize your influence in ways that connect you with the other prominent voices in the Brotherhood.
-Unexpected Opportunities A consistent voice creates unexpected opportunities. For example, someone heard you speak-up in a meeting and found your opinion to be valuable enough to share with the Mentors. A consistent voice allows your talent to be discovered and creates opportunities previously unseen.
9. Leave your mark. As human beings, many of us have a desire to leave our mark. We seek to be remembered for something special years after we are gone. In actuality, only a gifted few are so lucky.
Leaving a legacy requires the proper channeling of our inherent talents.
There are many ways to leave your legacy; this list is just the tip of the iceberg. You can touch lives by just making someone’s day a little brighter, which is a noble way to affect many people.
Just by doing the right thing and being a friend to all, you have the power to influence significant change and leave a mark on the lives of those who really matter: the people you share your life with. |
