Rules

No Biting the Hand That Feeds

Allies are to be treated as friends, not targets. Keep the knives pointed outward.

Don’t Get Caught in the Net

Stay sharp, stay clean. Avoid legal snares and trouble that drags the Company into the courts.

Protect the Company

If the law comes sniffing, the Company is never to be named, blamed, or tied to your business. Our name stays untouchable.

Clear It With the Helm

No jobs, contracts, or side hustles without leadership’s nod. The Company moves as one, not in pieces.

Respect the Chain

Orders flow down, spoils flow up. Skipping rank, cutting corners, or hoarding what isn’t yours is a quick way to lose your coin.

Spoils Are Shared

Loot is divided as the Company dictates. Stealing from the split or cheating the measure is theft against your own.

Keep the Blades Inside

Disputes between Company members are settled through proper channels—not brawls, ambushes, or backstabbing in the night.

Mind the Kraken’s Eye

The insignia you carry marks you as one of us. Lose it through carelessness, and you’ll pay in sweat and shame until you’ve earned it back.
