/gbfg/ Crew Directory

The date last updated represents the last time substantial info (e.g. a new crew, scores, or recruitment policy info) was added to this directory. The maintainer date is more or less an occasional signature that the maintainer will actively update this paste. I would recommend you clone this directory and update the OP with a new link if you'd like to help /gbfg/ keep an up-to-date listing in case any current maintainer just fucking dies.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: "Do you have any recommendations for crews to join?"
A: If you're here looking for a crew to join, GW / UnF activity as recorded here is typically a good measure of a guild's stability and what you can expect should you join. For new crews, just take them at their word for now in their recruitment posts... for the most part.

Take into account the recruitment policies as they're listed here, compare them against what you're willing to do, and wait for a slot to open if need be. Crews that are recruiting will generally post in thread about openings; the recruitment policies as they are listed here reflect their last known recruitment posting. Unknown recruitment policies mean that the crew has not had a known opening since this directory's last update, or that any previous known policies are seriously outdated.

Please don't dump your alts on /gbfg/ crews unless it's advertised as welcome. If you're looking for a crew able to reach the top 2,000 in crew rankings, ask for the leechlists in thread. This directory previously tracked these rankings, but for time reasons this isn't practical anymore, sorry.

Q: "Okay, but do you at least have historical records of what I can expect from the crews I'm joining?
A: Sure. Leechlists are a /gbfg/ tradition, after all.

Unite & Fight W-L record is taken from /gbfg/ posts, and they're all self-reported, so data may be incomplete and/or inaccurate.
Tracking for contribution does not track these W/L ratios, but you can take a look anyway if you're curious about their relative strength.
Contribution records prior to September 2019 are from: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kfUi2GNcwXobEWnG_sdqPQu2r5YSLNpk
Contribution records from September 2019 onwards from: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1f6DJ-u9D17CubY24ZHl9BtNv3uxTgPnQ

Q: "What's the criteria to be listed in this directory? <crew> is unironically reddit, why did you include them? <crew> is /gbfg/, where are they?"
A: The criterion for continued inclusion in this directory is inclusion in the post-GW contribution tracker in /gbfg/ (more commonly known as the "leechlists") posted after every Unite & Fight. I have no interest in crew drama, and any bullshit/schizoposting in thread asking me to remove crews for any other reasons than what I've listed here WILL be ignored. Please don't sabotage any crews, new or current, by posting recruitments in their name on non-/gbfg/ communities without their knowledge. I will ignore any requests for removal that reference posts obviously not made by the actual crew.

For new crews looking to be added who have yet to participate in Unite & Fight, please just post your initial recruitments here in the /gbfg/ thread when you're building up from scratch. As for established crews: I get it, it's hard to find new players from this ten-year-old cesspit general once you're established and maybe you're recruiting from other places later on, but honestly, just don't ask and don't tell, like a good soldier.

If a new crew that has been posting on /gbfg/ as of any ongoing Unite & Fight event is not in the pastebin, please quote the OP of an active thread during Unite & Fight with a request to be added if you wish to see your crew listed, or yell around asking for

There have been issues in the past where people would fight over which pastebin to include in the OP over this, partly because it was up to the maintainer to use some sort of vague standard for which crews to add or keep. Therefore, please bother the leechlist anon (you can find him in /gbfg/ at the end of Unite & Fight) instead so the directory can keep neutral of all this garbage and actually do its job.

Crews that historically existed on /gbfg/ are listed at the bottom and separated from the active crew listing, and are preserved for historical reasons. A crew will be considered to have gone "inactive" if it fails the eyeball test (typically, an "N/A" ranking on any GW day, or simply one or two players refusing to leave a graveyard of like 75%+ people N/A).

Q: "How do I view a crew / guild in-game?"
A: To view a guild:
Menu -> Friends -> Search -> ID -> Enter ID -> Click portrait -> Scroll down to Guild -> Details
game.granbluefantasy.jp can be replaced with gbf.game.mbga.jp for the mobile browser version. This won't work if either the crew display or the profile is set to private, obviously. Or you can use the referrer links listed below. Just keep in mind that if you're using AndApp or the mobile app (or just any version of GBF without a URL search bar), the only real way to reach crew pages in-game is to find them through the profile page of a member who publicly displays their crew.

Bear in mind that the number of members in a crew can change often, so this directory does not track active openings or recruitments. The Strike Time hours listed below are in JST (+9 UTC), and are subject to change.

Crew recruitment posts on /gbfg/ will typically link the crew page directly. Otherwise, they may include the ID of the referrer, who often has the crew they belong to publicly displayed.

Q: "What's with all the missing data?"
A: All match scores are self-reported, and crews don't always respond to calls for scores. I've done my best to fill in gaps in data, but score data as a rule will be incomplete, albeit otherwise accurate.

Furthermore, due to the private guild feature added in May 2017, some guilds occasionally won't have contributing members added. While /gbfg/ crews typically (briefly) un-private their crews for the purpose of the leechlists, irregularities happen every now and then. A crew's contribution data will be marked as (PRIVATE) here if it was known that the crew's data was private, and (UNKNOWN) if their contribution wasn't previously tracked.
