All affiliate and ambassador coordination runs through Discord. If you represent an org that wants to establish a working relationship with Rune Guard, this is how that process works.
Join our Discord server and introduce yourself and your org. Leadership monitors the server and will respond. Do not DM random members — go through the proper channels.
Navigate to discord.gg/TQjtEHjTbB and join the Rune Guard server. You'll land in the public-access channels. From there, introduce yourself.
Find the affiliate or general inquiry channel and introduce yourself clearly. State who you are, what org you represent, and what kind of relationship you're looking for. Be specific — "I want to do joint ops" is more useful than "I want to affiliate."
Leadership will respond within a reasonable timeframe. We're a gaming org, not a corporation — responses may not be immediate, but they will happen. Don't send repeated messages or follow-ups the same day.
Leadership will have a direct conversation with you about what the relationship would look like, what activities align, and whether it's a fit. This is a two-way conversation — we're not obligated to agree to every request.
If your org is establishing an ongoing partnership, designate a single Ambassador. This person is the primary point of contact and liaison for all joint op coordination. There can only be one Ambassador per org.
The Ambassador is not a title in Rune Guard — it is a coordination role within your own org's relationship with us. Here's what it means in practice:
| Responsibility | Details |
|---|---|
| Primary Point of Contact | All coordination between your org and RG goes through the Ambassador. Leadership will not manage individual members from your side. |
| Discord Access | The Ambassador receives access to the dedicated ambassador coordination channel for the relevant game. Other members of your org do not automatically receive this access. |
| Accountability | The Ambassador is accountable for the conduct of their org's members during joint ops. If someone from your org causes problems, leadership contacts the Ambassador first. |
| Joint Op Planning | Joint operations are proposed and planned through the Ambassador. Reach out in advance — don't expect last-minute coordination. |
| One Per Org | There is one Ambassador per partner organization. If the designated Ambassador is unavailable, the org should designate a replacement before scheduling joint ops. |
If your org needs to change its designated Ambassador, notify Rune Guard leadership through Discord before the transition. The new Ambassador will need to be acknowledged by leadership before assuming the coordination role.
Not every org that reaches out is a fit for a working relationship. In general, we look for partner orgs that:
