Guild Wars: Guild of the Week: LaZy [LaZy]

This week's Guild of the Week is "LaZy". LaZy is a conglomerate of groups that came together in 2006:

The history of LaZy began with Araliuns creating the parent LaZy guild in July, 2006. From there, additional guilds were started in the months that followed. Today eight guilds form the LaZy alliance. These guilds share a common vision which they call "One Vision."

LaZy guild is special in the Guild Wars world, unique in its structure, vision, and values. The name "LaZy" was originally intended to be a whimsical convention for naming a guild; LaZy's guild names were parodies for laziness. The parent guild's original name "Insert Witty Guild Name Here," and other names that followed for the creation of additional guilds, reflected this initial approach. While players thought the names funny, they quickly identified a need to present a more serious and determined image to other guilds. "Insert Witty Name Here" was renamed "Clandestiny of Solitude" in January, 2007-as voted on by members. All 100 members of the original guild seamlessly transferred to form the new guild in a matter of 24 hours.

Join requirements include:

1. A mature attitude, a dedicated interest in having fun in the game(s) with other like-minded individuals, and a willingness to participate in a community of players who range in age from 14 to 52.

4. A desire to promote diversity and a belief that the best forms of synergy and energy are achieved by having all of these elements represented in members.
