If an individual joins STC in one chapter, they are a novice of STC as a whole. As such, should they choose, they can join STC's other chapters. The individual will serve their novitiate in the chapter that they initially joined and will be limited to one toon in the other chapters until their novitiate period is concluded. Should they choose to perform their novitiate in a different chapter than the one they applied to, they must petition both involved LP's with their request and reasoning. Only with the approval of both LP's can the transfer happen.
Once a member completes their novitiate period we ask that they remove their alts from other active guilds (on connected servers) with the exception of bank and family guilds and ask that they either join them with STC or leave the alts unguilded as applicable and in accordance to that chapter’s member limitations as set by their recruiting policy. Newly raised saints joining STC in one chapter will be encouraged to join STC in other chapters (not their primary) if they are playing in those games, but are not required to do so. If alts are on a different server or different type of server they can remain as changing servers/factions requires monetary investment, and we will not force our members to spend money to join us. If a novice or full saint decides to bring their characters over to a Sanctioned STC server/server group, then we ask that those be non-guilded, guilded with a bank/family guild, or guilded with STC.
Should a novice fail to complete their novitiate period they may reapply at a future date to any active STC chapter. If a novitiate was not accepted into STC they may not reapply to any chapter for a minimum of 180 days.
Officers
No one person shall perform officer positions in more than one chapter for seats which require a substantial amount of in game time. Such positions include the LP, LoS, SBC, SAs, and BCs. Exceptions to this policy should only be made under special circumstances and require the approval of the GP and the LP's of each of the chapters for which the person wishes to be an officer.
A person may simultaneously hold officer positions in multiple chapters if the responsibilities associated with these positions do not require a substantial amount of in game time. In order for a person to simultaneously hold such officer positions in multiple chapters, it must first be approved by the LPs of each of the chapters for which the person wishes to be an officer.
