About chumbucket and Associates [cA]
chumbucket and Associates is a loosely organized group of thieves and troublemakers. We steal, we drop traps, we loot houses...I could go on. We do not LEETPVP. We do not hunt. We do not collect Trammel nonsense (except Downs). We are one of the oldest and most established guilds on UOSA. We accept only established players. We do not help you get started up on UOSA. We do not give you gold. We do not friend you to our houses. We do not accept players that act like children.
[cA] features a number of departments. Full members are not required to participate in departmental activities. Departments exist only to give some direction to new members. More information about the various departments can be found here:

The Recruitment Process
chumbucket and Associate is always interested in recruiting new members, but recruitment is BY INVITATION ONLY. New members are accepted on a provisional basis only. They are given the rank of Junior Associate. Junior Associates are expected to actively participate in one or more of our departments.
After one month, Junior Associates must submit an application for promotion to rank of Associate. Whether or not the application is accepted will depend on the outcome of a secret vote by Senior Associates. It will help if Senior Associates know that you have been active in one or more departments. New Associates remain in the guild as long they remain active, but will need reapply if they wish to join the guild after a significant period of time away from the guild. Associates with a history of activity and contributing to the guild will attain the status of good standing and, thus, will no longer need to reapply to the guild if they go on an extended hiatus.
Senior Associates are by appointment from chumbucket and the current Senior Associates only. Do not ask to become a Senior Associate.
Guild Rules
There are very few rules, but they are taken very seriously.
1. No HAX of any kind. cA members are expected to follow all UOSA rules.
2. No epithets (e.g., 'nigger', 'fag', etc.) on the forums, in IRC, or in game.
3. Respect the guild and all guild members at all times.
4. Do not cause UOSA staff unnecessary problems.
Recruitment
We do not accept unsolicited applications. If we decide that you could be [cA] material and we feel we could use new members, we will contact you via the forums or IRC and ask you to apply. If we decide to ask you to apply and you would like to apply, you will be required to send a forum PM to applejack (acting GM) that includes answers to the following questions:
1. How long have you played UO? UOSA?
2. Who are your other characters? What are their names, stats, and skills?
3. Do you have your own gold? How much? House? What kind? How many?
4. Do you agree to obey all guild rules?
5. Why do you want to join cA?
6. Please provide some documentation of you engaged in [cA]-like activities.
Two Notes from chumbucket
1. [cA] prefers quality over quantity. We want members who are both mature and capable. We, therefore, do NOT accept every applicant, nor do we automatically promote Junior Associates to permanent members. If you are rejected, please don't take it personally. We are far more likely to reject applications that do not include ALL of the required information, that are extremely poorly written (we're not grammar police but you should show some effort and note if English is not your native language) or if you do not have a fully developed character ready to immediately put on the stone.
2. We will not add you to the Department of Justice stone unless you are a longtime member of [cA]. Do not ask to join the Department of Justice.
"How Can I Get Asked to Apply?"
The answer is simple: Show us that you would be a good fit for [cA]. We want players that
(i) are capable UO players - You should know the ins and outs of Ultima Online and UOSA.
(ii) do what we do - You should steal, scam, lie, and probably make some funny posts about it on the forums! You should also ENJOY all of these things and not be so concerned about PHAT LOOTZ and RED POTS ONLY PvP. We don't want to keep you from doing those things, but fundamentally [cA] members don't care as much about those things as they do being thieves.
(iii) are mature - You don't have to be a certain age, but you have to show us that you aren't some online video game weirdo who constantly use racial epithets, freaks out over a video game, etc. We can't cope with that. If you are like that, you are probably being looked at as a target and not as a potential recruit.
If you meet all three of these criteria and you demonstrate that on the forums, in game, and on IRC, we will notice. And when we decide we need new members, we will probably contact you.
