# 8. Guilds

## Guild Sigil

Your guild sigil will be displayed alongside your ship on the minimap, and, if you have a large enough ship, may also be displayed as a banner flag atop your main mast. If your guild is performing well during a season, your guild's sigil may also appear on the champion podium towers back at the docks to display your group's prowess.

## Joining or Creating a Guild

Players can join a guild via the in-game Guilds tab, found in the main ESC menu. Players can create a guild in their [account profile page](https://capnco.gg/profile). Here they can also remove other guild members, change the guild flag, edit the name, and more. 

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Scholarships**</mark>**.** Ships can also be delegated out to players to grant them access to a ship without needing to craft one on their own, which is done via the Job Board at the docks ("Privateering"). Players operating ships via the Job Board will send 100% of their doubloons to the manager who is loaning out the ship to them, and in return the manager will automatically send them Quest Tickets, which can be redeemed for USDC and withdrawn as cash. This arrangement is most commonly referred to as a "scholarship" in web3 gaming.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.capnco.gg/game-guide/how-to-play/8.-guilds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
