The Guild is an award-winning online sitcom about the lives of an online guild "The Knights of Good", with each webisode 3–7 minutes long. The first episode was posted July 27, 2007. It is broadcast on The Guild's official website, on iTunes as a podcast, effinfunny.com and YouTube, and is available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace.[1] The show follows the life of Codex, the healer of The Knights of Good, who attempts to lead a normal life after one of her guildmates shows up on her doorstep.

The Guild is written by Felicia Day (who stars as Codex), directed by Jane Selle Morgan and Greg Benson (season 1) and Sean Becker (season 2), and produced by Jane Selle Morgan and Kim Evey. Production of 12 new episodes for season 3 began on June 13, 2009[2] and ended July 11, 2009.[3]

Joss Whedon credits The Guild as one of the inspirations for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, which also starred Day.[4]

History

The Guild was inspired and written by Day, an avid gamer, who plays World of Warcraft in between acting roles in several US television shows and movies.[5] After two years of video game addiction, Day decided to make something productive from her experiences and wrote the series as a sitcom pilot. The series was purposely kept generic to avoid copyright problems and to appeal to a wider audience of massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) fans. Day also hoped to show that the stereotypical man living in his parents' basement is not the only kind of gamer. Believing the niche setting wouldn't appeal to television marketing wonks,[1] she decided to produce the series online with Jane Selle Morgan and Kim Evey. Day already knew Sandeep Parikh and Jeff Lewis from Empty Stage, a Los Angeles-based comedy theatre, and their roles were written for them. The rest of the cast was filled through auditions.[6][7] After filming the first three episodes in two and a half days, they ran out of money. After putting a donation link to PayPal, the fourth and fifth episodes were almost solely financed by donations.[8][9] The official website contains 22 episodes, several gag reels, and two Christmas specials.

Reception

The Guild has been viewed by many people on YouTube, beating out most other online shows that are featured on the website in terms of viewership and popular and critical acclaim. The series has won several awards since its launch, and in February 2009, Rolling Stone named it one of "The Net's Best Serial Shows".[10]

Plot

Season 1 (2007–2008)

The plot focuses mainly on Codex (Felicia Day), with each episode starting off with her vlog talking about how her life is going. The show starts with her attempting to control her online addiction and her therapist (voiced by Kimberly Lewis) hanging up on her since she refuses to make a change in her life. While raiding, the guild realizes that Zaboo (Sandeep Parikh), the guild warlock, has not been online in 39 hours; he has instead spent this time traveling by Greyhound bus to Codex's residence. Zaboo's interpretation of online events has led him to believe that he and Codex are dating in real life, which surprises Codex. When Codex tells the guild that she has found Zaboo, she learns that the guild has another issue: Bladezz (Vincent Caso), the guild rogue, has been banned for 24 hours for creating a macro and spamming "Fag" into the trading house. Faced with the news and Zaboo still at her house, Codex suggests the guild meet in person since they are a local guild to discuss Bladezz and his behavior problems.[15][16][17]

The guild decides to meet at Cheesybeards, a theme restaurant. Once the guild manages to locate each other, they find out that Vork (Jeff Lewis), the guild leader, did not invite Bladezz to the meeting where they planned to discuss his insubordinate behavior. While discussing Bladezz, he shows up at the restaurant and reminds them that Vork transferred the entire guild bank to one of his alts the previous week. Thus if Bladezz was kicked out of the guild, they would lose 6 months worth of gear, gold and gathered material.[18][19]

After the meeting with the guild, Codex tells Zaboo she wants him to leave. Online, Clara's (Robin Thorsen) babysitter has quit and she needs a replacement. Vork volunteers since the meeting took a large portion of his savings, but Tinkerballa (Amy Okuda), in an effort to punish him, tries to convince Clara to let her have the kids. Back at Codex's, Zaboo's mother (Viji Nathan) shows up looking for him. After arguing all night, Zaboo's mother convinces him to come home with her. Meanwhile, the guild faces more trouble as Bladezz posts an inappropriate video of the guild on the official forums, depicting their avatars naked. Zaboo says goodbye to Codex, and tries to hang himself, but Codex rushes to stop him.

Codex manages to stop Zaboo from hanging himself, and Zaboo then reveals that he can't drive because his mother insists on driving him to college every day, she forced him into the ladies' room with her until he was fifteen and every time he tries to grow up she has a panic attack, ulcer or a breast polyp which she makes him feel. The only place Zaboo can find refuge from his mother is online. However, the previous week he caught his mother reading Internet for Dummies. If she finishes reading it, he'll have nothing left.

Codex is touched by his plight, however the moment is broken when it is revealed that Codex accidentally left the mike switched on and the rest of the guild has heard his confession, to Clara's sympathy, Tink's amusement and Vork's embarrassment. Tink is surprised to see Clara online, who says she is just about to change for her pole-dancing class. Tink is outraged that she is watching Clara's "sperm blossoms because she's training to be a stripper" and insists that she collect the kids straight away.

Bladezz suddenly comes online and taunts the other members of the guild about the loss of their guild bank. After Codex yells at him to return the bank and take down the video, he merely responds that he'll instead give some of their gear to random newcomers before signing off.

Zaboo suddenly works out a way to get Bladezz to return the guild bank and take the video down, if Codex helps him escape from his mother. After some hesitation, Codex agrees and tells the guild to meet at Cheesybeards again and for Tink to find a way to get Bladezz to come as well.

Bladezz meets the guild at Cheesybeards and Codex blackmails him with his amateur model photos that Zaboo managed to get hold of. Bladezz then unwillingly gives the Guild their bank back and says he will take down the embarrassing video after leaving. As a part of the deal, Codex then says the Guild will help Zaboo defeat the most powerful and scary boss of all time - his mother.

As Zaboo's mother comes to pick him up, the Guild prepares for the "raid". After a heated argument with her, in which each Guild member assumes the role of their in-game class, they manage to defeat Zaboo's mother with the help of Bladezz, who suddenly appears in the middle of the fight. Zaboo tries to go back to his mother, but she wordlessly refuses, punching him in the eye.

The season ends with the Guild walking out of the bar. Bladezz is welcomed back to the Guild as he says that it's a shame Zaboo's mom didn't drop any loot, and the show delivers an open end when Zaboo hugs Codex and says "She dropped some loot for Codex", to which she replies "Oh sh-" just as the final credits kick in.

Season 2 (2008–2009)

Season Two begins with Codex talking to her webcam about what has happened since the events of Season 1. Zaboo's mom, a real estate lawyer, got her evicted, forcing her to move to a new apartment, with Zaboo following her. Although she doesn't like him living with her, she refuses to kick him out because he has nowhere to go, no money, and (most importantly) the Guild needs him for raid DPS. Later, during play, the Guild loots the Orb of Nurr and Vork opens up bidding on the orb, starting a fierce competition between Tink and Clara. As Clara watches on in horror, her kids run in the room, pulling at the cords connecting her computer to the Internet. As the first episode draws to a close, Zaboo and Codex are talking about the T1 line Zaboo has promised Codex and they are leaning in to kiss as Clara desperately tries to reconnect her computer to the Internet.

In the second episode, Clara's bid on the Orb of Nurr has been defeated by her children's interference with her network cable. Vork declares that Tink gets the Orb of Nurr. Clara shrieks, causing her husband to nervously leave the room with the kids in tow and Codex to turn away from Zaboo just as their lips were about to meet. Clara complains that they didn't give her a chance to reconnect to the Internet, but Vork cites the guild rule 24, paragraph 3, section A. Although Clara concedes defeat, she turns away from her microphone to say that "someone will die for this." Meanwhile, Zaboo continues his attempts to seduce Codex. Codex puts her feelings in terms that he can understand: right now, he is a starting player, and he would have to do some major leveling if they were ever going to go out. Zaboo accepts the quest, and ends up moving in with Vork, paying rent with in-game money.

As Codex is returning to her apartment after helping Zaboo move, she accidentally bumps into her new neighbor, sending him tumbling down the stairs. After falling down an entire flight of stairs, the neighbor, Wade, leaps to his feet, revealing that he is a stuntman. Wade is very flirtatious, and Codex is too nervous to respond in kind. She later tells Clara and Tink about Wade, and they suggest that she should respond to the advances. Zaboo gives Bladezz advice on how to win over Tink, mainly by farming the items for Tink's Orb quest.

With an announced server maintenance shut-down, Vork has implemented his GEMA strategy (Guild Emergency Meeting Agenda), comparing the impending server downtime to 9/11. Bladezz, in his attempts to impress Tink, has been buying and mailing her stuff, as well as collecting in-game items for her orb quest. With the server going down, Zaboo invites Bladezz over to Vork's for "man night" and Codex ends up inviting Clara and Tink over for a "girls' night". Tink arrives first and then a couple guys Codex doesn't know. After asking them what they're doing there, she's handed a flier with her address. Soon Clara shows up with a beer keg, and states that she handed out hundreds of such fliers. Codex is in shock as more and more people arrive. Meanwhile, "man night" actually turns out to be Vork using a slide projector to plan boss fights, explaining them to Zaboo and Bladezz. Bladezz finally becomes fed up with the boring evening, and convinces the guys to play poker in an attempt to win back some of the money Bladezz has spent on gifts for Tink. Vork is using deductive logic to beat Bladezz, much to Bladezz's dismay. Bladezz states that he has no money after buying stuff for Tink, and Vork offers to log on immediately and mediate between Tink and Bladezz. Zaboo reveals that Tink and Clara are actually hanging out, as Clara had just changed her status update to "playing wingwoman with Tink at Codex's. Going to get her laid." Zaboo realizes that Clara means getting Codex laid, and begins to panic. Zaboo insists that they have to get to Codex's and stop the hook-up.

At the party, Codex feels that she made a fool of herself by revealing to Wade that she liked him. She leaves the festivities and goes to her room, crying to her webcam about how she messes everything up. Wade interrupts and tells Codex to stop crying, since her eyes are her prettiest feature, and the two kiss. Meanwhile, Zaboo, Vork, and Bladezz arrive at the party and are greeted by Clara. When Zaboo questions Clara about helping Codex get laid, Clara says that there's nothing to worry about, that Codex make a huge fool out of herself and that she's in need of comfort (not knowing that Wade is with her). Zaboo heads off to find Codex, and Bladezz spots Tink across the room. Zaboo is frantically searching for Codex, and when he opens the door to her room, finds her kissing Wade. Meanwhile, Bladezz tells Tink that he's completed gathering all the items for her Orb quest, to which she simply responds that they're done and he's never to message her again. Bladezz asks if he can have any of the stuff he bought for her back, since he can't really afford any of it. Tink says that if she gave anything back, it wouldn't be a learned lesson. Bladezz later mutters under his breath about getting even, and he is seen eyeing Tink's laptop (which she brought to "girls' night).

In Codex's room, Zaboo is furious at Wade for encroaching upon his "lady on layaway," and challenges him to a fight. Clara tells Zaboo that it's awesome that he's going to fight a stuntman, and as Wade rips open his shirt, Zaboo slinks off to Vork and Bladezz, asking for help. Zaboo believes that his online fighting experience should help him, but Vork reminds him that his character is a spell caster, and Wade is clearly a fighter. Wade comes over demanding to know if Zaboo is going to go through with the fight. Clara attempts to reassure Zaboo by reminding him that his mother has a mean right hook, and throws him toward Wade, who throws the first punch into the camera, ending the episode.

The final episode begins with Codex unable to decide whether or not she's honored for having two guys fight over her, or to feel terrible for it. In the fight, Wade realizes that he inadvertently pulled his punch, as he would in his stunt work. After this, however, he lands a few blows on Zaboo. In the gathered crowd, Riley (Wade's gamer-girl roommate) comments that Zaboo is cute, much to Codex's chagrin. Wade decides that Codex isn't worth it after Zaboo shows no challenge (and an admiration for his motion-capture work in the game), and the two end the fight, becoming friends. Codex demands that Zaboo meet her in the bedroom, where he begins to undress before she bluntly spurns him. Dejected, he leaves, and Codex sits on the couch with Vork and Tink, and Vork mentions that the server should be back online. Tink attempts to log in from her laptop, only to find that her character was deleted. Vork reveals that Bladezz was the last person to use the laptop, and Tink begins to cry. Codex, meanwhile, looks over to see Clara and Wade kissing, prompting her to kick Wade in the shin. She then rushes out of the apartment to find Riley and Zaboo kissing right outside her door. Upon seeing this, Codex freezes, and her spirit seems to run from the apartment complex in anguish as her body remains watching Zaboo and Riley.

Season 3 (2009– )

Season three begins with Codex explaining that she's been able to recover from the events of the party through ice cream and the excitement that the game's expansion pack is coming out. At GameStop, the Knights of Good have secured the front spot, thanks to Vork camping for two days. Codex is trying to explain the new features in the expansion, but all the guild members are preoccupied with other matters: Vork is reminded of his failure as a guild leader whenever he sees Clara (who doesn't remember that she spent an entire weekend killing Vork over and over until she's reminded), Tink has hired a homeless person to stand in for her since she can't be around Bladezz, Bladezz has gotten a job at Cheesy Beards to pay off the $4,000 debt he's in from buying so much stuff for Tink, and Zaboo and Riley are constantly making out.

Eventually a group of people cut in front of the guild, revealing themselves to be another (tougher looking) guild. The name of the guild is the Axis of Anarchy, and they are revealed to be the top guild on the server. Vork attempts to convince the leader of Axis of Anarchy that they are breaking the rules, but his efforts only result in the Knights of Good being sent to the back of the line. In shame, he resigns as guild leader. After everyone nominates themselves to succeed his position, Zaboo nominates Codex, who ends up voting for herself and becomes the new leader of Knights of Good. Displeased, Tink leaves the Knights of Good and is last seen talking to the leader of the Axis of Anarchy.

While the remaining members install their expansion packs, Codex is unsure of how to unite the guild and is reluctant to talk to Tink. Vork suddenly phones Codex and informs her that he has decided to go on the road and take a break from the game. With two members now gone, the rest of the guild begins to fall apart: Riley is forcing Zaboo to choose between her or the game, Clara's husband's is frustrated with Clara's distance from the family after finding a digital photo of her kissing Wade at the party, and Bladezz becomes occupied with getting his sister to leave his room.

Clara's husband is on the verge of moving out, telling Clara that she'll have to cut back on the game for him to stay. Zaboo arrives at Codex's to take refuge from Riley. After some advice from Vork, who's still on the road stealing wifi when he can, Codex decides log onto Axis of Anarchy's chat channel to speak to Tink. Tink has no interest in leaving Axis of Anarchy, and Fawkes kicks Codex out of the channel. Bladezz suddenly logs on revealing that someone has created a website dedicated to his secret modeling photos, and distributed the address to his entire high school. Codex and Zaboo realize it was Axis of Anarchy.

Codex decides to try and find a replacement for Tink. However, all of the video responders are less than positive (or sane). Zaboo arrives and asks Codex's advice on what to do about Riley's aggressiveness. Clara, hiding in her closet, decides that she can kill two birds with one stone, and deems her husband the new member, so that they can spend more time together. Riley arrives and demands to know why Zaboo keeps running away. Discovering that there's an opening in the guild, Riley suggests herself, but Codex quickly accepts Clara's husband (aka Mr. Wiggles) into the guild.

The cast of The Guild at the 2009 Streamy Awards.

Other characters

  • Dena - First appeared in Episode 5 of Season 1. She is Bladezz' precocious little sister. She's first seen when she arrives at the table at Cheesybeards, just after Bladezz has informed the Guildies that he is in control of all the Guild gold and equipment, ruining his big exit. She is also seen famously beating Bladezz in Episode 6 of Season 2 when he makes crooked hearts on the handbag he's crafting for Tink. Dena is played by Tara Caso, the real life sister of Vincent Caso who plays Bladezz.
  • Zaboo's Mother - First appeared in at the end of Episode 5 of Season 1. She is a living incarnation of the overcontrolling mother. She had Zaboo microchipped to keep track of his movements, punched Codex the first time they met (thinking she liked Zaboo and was trying to take him away from her), controls Zaboo through a series of probably false ailments and had Codex thrown out of her apartment for helping her son break free of her. She is played by Viji Nathan.
  • Wade Wei - First appearing in Season 2, Wade is Codex's hot neighbor. Not a gamer himself, Wade works as a martial arts stunt double, who comes into contact with Codex after she accidentally pushes him down some stairs. He's fond of showing off his moves and flirting with Codex, making her extremely nervous and at one point Codex vomits on him, after seeing him in makeup from a movie he is playing in. He harbors a revulsion for gamers, expressing his desire to punch them. Ironically, he describes Codex's gaming-derived knowledge of weaponry as "sexy." Wade is played by Fernando Chien.
  • Riley - First appeared at the end of Episode 8 of Season 2 and referred to as "Stupid Tall Hot Girl." Originally thought to be Wade's girlfriend, it is revealed in Episode 10 that she is in fact his roommate. She is an FPS girl and a ranked Halo player. At first she was thrilled to meet Codex, another girl gamer, until she learned that Codex was an MMORPG player. This parodies the normal relationship between MOG and MMORPG players. Riley is played by Michele Boyd.
  • Fawkes - Appears in Season 3. The leader of the Axis of Anarchy and so far the only one with a name. Played by Wil Wheaton[21].

Episodes

Production notes

Season 1

First aired on July 27, 2007, The Guild ran until summer of 2008. The season consisted of 10 episodes and two specials (including a Christmas special). The show was originally the pilot episode for a TV series, although changed in format and script to fit a web-series; the final episodes were not part of the original pilot for the TV series. The DVD is now available for purchase on the show's official web site.

Season 2

On Monday November 24 2008, Microsoft announced that they had signed an exclusive distribution deal with Guild creator Felicia Day. All 12 season 2 episodes of The Guild will premiere on Xbox 360, Zune, and MSN with a four week delay for release on The Guild's official website. The Microsoft releases will be free, but supported by Sprint advertisements and product placements.[22][23] Notable is the fact that creator Felicia Day retains the IP rights to the series, with Microsoft paying an "unspecified" license fee upfront.[24] Sometime in late February 2009, when all episodes of season two have been released, Felicia and her team were free to sign a new nonexclusive distribution deal should they choose to do so.[25]

Season 3

Officially revealed in the music video for "(Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar", Season 3 of The Guild would premiere on August 25th, on Xbox Live for gold members only. It was later announced that it would be released for MSN Video, Zune, and Xbox Live silver members on September 1st.[26] In this season, the main concept is a rival guild trying to destroy "The Knights of Good".
