**Order of Burning Light** **Who is OBL?** Order of the Burning Light [BURN] is a clan founded by a close group of adult friends just before the launch of D2 with the goal of having more mature Guardians to enjoy D2’s content with. Since then, BURN has continued growing, even splitting multiple times into additional divisions to eclipse Bungie’s 100 Guardian clan roster and expanding from only Xbox to include PC support. The Admin team has expanded from the original founders to a larger core of BURNers who share the original vision: surround ourselves with awesome, mature people we can enjoy gaming with, and provide a mature, respectful and FUN group experience for as many Guardians as possible while helping others achieve their Destiny goals. **Why Join a Clan?** Destiny is a social game that truly requires group participation for the most efficient advancement. Looking for groups in the wild can be a hit or miss experience, and joining a clan changes that dynamic. The right clan for a Guardian will consist of like-minded individuals who invest in each other's collective experience to expand in skill, progression and camaraderie. Basically: a bigass pool of mature players you can count on to chill or game with to enhance the experience in our hobby. **Is BURN Active?** My god, yes. BURN currently has nearly 500 active members. We can say 80% are active within any given 24 hour period across all time zones, with 90% active in a given week. We’re so active, and so many people have wanted to be a part of what we’ve been doing that we had to go from 1 to 4 Xbox rosters and have even opened a brand new PC division! Meaning- five times the Guardians available for action that you can invite to your groups or be invited by. We’ll continue growing as Destiny playerbase interest and activity allow with the buzz around Shadowkeep and beyond. **How Does BURN Stay Organized?** By using Discord app. This has become a required tool for our clan. It greatly helps our membership stay in touch any time they want or need to. Through Discord, we are able to: 1. Keep track of active (& inactive) members to maintain a healthy Guardian pool. 2. Utilize stat & leaderboard tracking for friendly competition within the clan and personal progress logs, as well as News/Announcements to keep up with Destiny 2 information & weekly reset updates. 3. Easily create scheduled or on-the-fly clan Fireteams for all game activities with Charlemagne's integrated LFG system. 4. Use the Discord Role system to to create a Role hierarchy system, an opt-in tagging system and a Vanity Title recognition program. 5. Get to know each other better and bond more closely as a group by having a platform to share, joke and communicate on frequently. 6. Using our tag system, members opt into notifications only for activities of their choice- allowing us to disable the pesky @everyone tag from general use so members can enable notifications in peace. 7. Keep track of ALL 5 BURN Divisions in a single unifying platform giving all members access to a complete clan roster rather than the limited in-game 100 max roster. **Can You Explain Your Roles and Titles?** The Bungie.net app allows very little management ability for our community. Discord Roles gave us a better system. While we do have the Founder-level Role to recognize those who began this journey, we have many others. Some examples are: *Game Leader* – Our Leadership team – these folks lead individual Divisions to ensure there is healthy activity, low levels of inactivity and no toxicity within our spaces. They run the daily operations and make decisions as a group. *Raid Sherpa* – Our Sherpa family takes great pride in what they do and many times inspire others to become Sherpas themselves. Most of our Sherpas have dozens of Destiny 2 clears- some in the hundreds! The Sherpa channel allows them to discuss strategy and plan successful events consisting of veterans and newbies. **What Are Your Vanity Titles All About?** These are our Discord community versions of Destiny’s in-game titles and are the second way we use Discord’s Role system. We have a rigorous set of accomplishments that we verify using your in-game and Charlemagne stats. Some examples are: *Templars* – Our most accomplished raiders! *Redjacks* – Our Crucible beasts! *The Infamous* – Our Gambitiest Gambiters! *Weaponsmith* – Our explorers & guides to the game’s elite treasures! **What about Your Activity Tagging System?** Our Activity Tags are the third and final way we use Discord Roles. Activity Tags are based around specific areas in the interest. We have a tag for Crucible enthusiasts, Raiders, Gambiters and more. Activity Tags are an opt-in system, meaning a Guardian must request to have it added to their profile. Activity Tags are also “taggable” in that members can send a notification to all members who bear the specific Tag being used. This way if you want to be notified when folks are looking to build a Crucible team for any reason, you’ll receive those notifications according to the settings you configure for our Discord settings. Then you can also use it to shoot up a flair and build groups of your own for your specific Activities of interest! **What Can Burn Offer Me?** BURN will offer you a highly active, adult (21+) clan that participates in all Destiny 2 activities daily. From helping you accomplish world events like Nightfalls, Public Events and other Milestones to special events like Faction Rallies. From Crucible oriented content like Quickplay, Banner, Comp. Normal or Prestige Level Raids & Lairs. All Gambit activities. Or even just to shoot the shit in a party or Discord chat with like-minded gamers, it don't matter. BURN will make your play experience more efficient, rewarding and most importantly- fun. **What Does Burn Expect From Me?** Just a few things: 1. *Use Discord:* Order of Burning Light’s multiple Divisions work primarily because we are able to connect so many people and operate as one uniform unit. We really are one single clan, and we only have different Divisions because of Bungie’s limitation on clan sizes. Discord makes you available to help all Divisions, and even better it places you in a position to be seen and helped by all BURNers. We’ve found that BURNers on Discord are much more engaged and those without eventually go inactive. Discord is easily obtainable on any phone or tablet device as well as PC. 2. *Age:* BURN is an adult clan with an age 21 and over requirement. We do make an occasional concession for relations of members whose maturity can be vouched for, but this is how we protect our clan from unwanted drama. 3. *Be Active in D2:* Destiny is not a job, and as adults we all have a life to manage. But we want BURN to be a place for people to play this game weekly. When a member hits 3+ weeks of inactivity, we do remove them unless they’ve given us a heads up that they’ll return. 4. *Participate:* A clan is a relationship: give and take. You’ll get plenty of help from BURNers, so make sure to return the favor from time to time especially for newer or less experienced BURNers! 5. *Respect for Everyone:* We are a large community, and will continue growing. This means all sorts of different people will be sharing our spaces- parties, Discord, Fireteams. We’ll have discussions, good times, and the occasional disagreement or personality conflicts. As adults, we are all responsible for our attitudes, and how we address each other. There are many good ways to disagree without escalating conflict. Excessive disrespect of other members can and will result in a ban, so keep it cool out there! 6. *Ethical Gaming:* We avoid telling grown-ass adults how to play their game especially when it comes to making PVE progression easier, but we do require that members keep our Clan reputation sterling. We are zero tolerance for matchmade activity cheating and network/loading/matchmaking glitches to avoid activities and folks participating in this will be banned on discovery so- keep it clean! **What's BURN Looking For?** BURN currently operates in five Divisions: four Xbox and one PC, but today we are recruiting 16 new members specifically for Division 4. Here’s what we’re looking for today: WE REQUIRE our members be 21+, salt-free and active Guardians willing to use Discord and who are looking to join an active clan for either the first time, or to replace a dead/crappy clan with. WE WANT members who have some what of a history in destiny, PvE and crucible, today we’re looking for players to fill in the clan. WE’D LIKE our new members to be from anywhere in the world, as we have members in all time zones! However for today were looking for some more pacific guardians to joint our ranks as The bulk of our clan operates in the Eastern-Central US time zones but we have plenty of folks who play on global schedules- you won’t have a problem finding people here. **How do I apply to Order of Burning Light?** First, reply to this post and let us know the following: 1.
