Think of it as giving the people in your guild some motivation to do something IG. ;) ---------------------------------- Basic idea if I ever made the "perfect" arena. -teams of 7 -1 spotter per team (screams enemy location to the "switch flipper") -1 switch flipper blind to the arena (horrible name...flips switches to activate lava and water) (signs next to each switch saying area) (layered like chess give enemy teams the chance to practice on field and learn how to call out the areas) -5 fighters -1 Diamond Block on each side on the map enemy team has to capture the block. (sorry mates you don't get to keep it >_>) -Wood + stone swords and bows -2+ GM's helping with regulating event and reviving players in the graveyard areas (with nearby chests full of the cheap to make swords and bows) How does this idea sound? it can be modified of course to not even include the spotter so the flipper can actually see his effect on the battlefield. Or could remove 2 of the fighters.

I'll accept ya but you gotta work for Negotiator (you will probably need a villain app for that one too so if you have it link it to me after I PM you and we will see where you go.) As for the fixing of the array error I tried changing it to send copies not sure if that did it.

I am far to weak by Orcish standards to do any fighting. I would just like to spectate and yes I can handle being punched in a crowd. ((character fond of watching Orcish violence not fond of participating. I shall assume that non-Orcs will be allowed to spectate and possibly even participate unless messaged. Again asking to watch not to participate.))

Was able to PM you after screwing around with the system. co-ords of first base sent as well as explanation of our current progress

ooc: Just saw it I think its a splendid idea and would probably be a little less messy if I ever made an arena it would probably be WSG esque half the field is desert/logged the other half is canopy/forest. I am willing to participate if you are however don't expect the conflicts to stay in the arena :P. But before any of this I would first have to fulfill the requirements which will take time. Oh and I would have team captains control lava flows over the fields via pistons because fire is fun.

Are you accepting of human spectators?

The Orcs in this thread have the right ideology. I really do think that even though the undead are here you Orcs should be attacking and taking advantage of the other race's weakness. Hell I love that after Kramaroe was blown up there has been a HUUGGEEE increase in orcish banditry (if you wish to call it that). I have seen quite a few of you roleplay even if you have not seen me. I personally love it when the Orcs are acting Orc-y it adds to the world. I am with you fellows HATING people who cant stand to lose. Honestly though the best thing to do is take screenshots of your RP then ignore them. If they QQ and meta attack you file a ban report. (When you kill somebody I know many of you don't take everything you leave em with some dignity) I know at least one orc does even if I don't remember his name.

Koganusan (Boatmurdered) there was another story thread concerning a "captain" and a tundra but I cannot remember it to look it up.

Accepted. However while I do respect your enthusiasm I must ask that until you are assigned enforcer work you keep out of their way. ((Best to not join in on villainous activity without an app trust me on that one you will get banhammer for that. I'll be PMing you co-ords however I believe you are already living nearby. You will have to start the PM since I get an array error...every single time. I am GMT -8 so we probably wont see each other unless its the weekend.))

In due time we shall have need for one. For now however I am getting an array error (probably message box full) whenever I try to send you a PM with the coords.

Accepted PMing you co-ords of where the first lumber mill is to be established (it wont be until sin is able to log in) ill work on getting you a job. Oh and you can tell me IG which job you are applying for my fault.

About us- Hello friend do you like money? Are you one of the simple folk who doesn't have a head for business? Then boy have I got a deal for you! (This will be an "Evil" corporation focused mainly on destruction of the environment. While our motivation is money+greed don't expect to get rich from this you can look forward to a large number of events though since our enemies will be the druids + the golden harvest to name but a few.) (We will be situated mostly in the wilds. Usually at least 100 blocks distance from any big cities we do have a builder hired you can check out what our buildings will look like Here) JOBS- (These are DEMO ranks they are subject to be changed if you apply for a job you may be shifted elsewhere ex. Adventurer, gatherer, and engineer may be fused into one rank with an officer rank above them) Simple Work ----------------- Gatherer- The gatherer’s job is to gather all kinds of materials for us. From Orcish sand, Elven Lumber, and Dwarven Ores the gatherers gather it all for the sake of profit! Adventurer – The adventurer’s job is to slay monsters and bring in his findings. 1/10th of his findings should be turned in to the Company. In exchange he will be given room and board if the earnings are excessive then the adventurer shall be entitled to rewards such as free equipment meals and the like. (basically the mercenary who has no villain app and live with the company. if you aren't good at building and you have decided gathering isn't your thing you can join this way) Engineer– (builder) (must be able to make cranes, machines (saws for the lumber mill), and make natural areas look ravaged) The engineer will be responsible for not only operating any machinery we employ but also constructing the houses required for our work. (Think you can make Laurelin look like it was logged recklessly for a quick buck?) Enforcer Work ------------------- Seeking experts in the criminal field to ensure protection of assets. The following is OOC aka none of this “OMGZ ITS BLEKPAW KILLZ HIM HE BAD!” Highwayman – Your job is to make the streets UN-SAFE you will rob people of their minas and goods resorting to violence if things get hairy. You will also rob houses and strip them of valuables (aka I am giving you an excuse to destroy those ugggllyyy box houses do not go overboard with this or you will face punishment) Bruiser – The bruiser’s job is to ensure that clients who have paid for “Protection” get it. If need be you will resolve any little “Problems” we have with competition. (Competing shops that disagree with us you will burn smash and destroy if necessary) (this may include entire towns.) Any mercenary work that we are paid for you will perform. (advanced highwayman you are “THE” roleplayers of the guild you will be treated like grunts but you can think of yourself above the rest) (promoted) Negotiator – The negotiator’s job is one of politics. Whether it is between guilds, kingdoms, or persons your job is to make deals that benefit us through ANY means necessary (blackmail, bribes, extortion, violence). As the negotiator you will also be in command of the Bruisers, Highwaymen, and Crooks. (Officer rank) (Only available through promotion.) Dealing with is including but not limited to -Exclusivity contracts only WE get to work in that area -Price fixing --Tac & Co are charging 10 minas for iron ore!? Have a little chat with them don’t forget to take a couple Bruiser’s with you. (sorry mates but you gotta plan it out ahead of time with leader of T&C) (Basically helping plan the roleplay events/ general overseeing) RULES- 1. When logging NO REPLANTING OF SAPLINGS.(in the logging areas only) Replanting is BAD for BUSINESS if you replant then some other nobody can come in on OUR turf and sell lumber and the likes for LESS do you want to be paid LESS? I thought not. (We will negotiate selling saplings so if you are a tree-hugging hipster then you can feel like you are making a difference even though we will just cut the trees down again and resell the saplings again but hey they are your minas.) 2. Unless you are one of the villains please for the love of god stick to gathering, building, and role-play events. If the company goes to war most of the time we will try to set it up so you will not need a villain app especially since I will be lying to you and attempting to not be the aggressors at least in the beginning. 3. There are methods to how we gather. In the most destructive way to the environment small swaths of land will be chosen and destroyed in a creative way (not griefing). A few examples of this would be a forest we will line out an area in wool, sand, or some other non dirt material. remove all of the grass and trees and leave stumps and dirt, For sand mining cranes will be constructed in quarry like areas where the sand will be gathered. (Images of an example below) (working on getting better images) The first picture shows the island on the right being outlined in stone the second will show it completely changed (had screenshot corruptions the islands original appearance and middle stage is lost for the most part) This second image shows what the end result COULD look like (probably less of those trees in the background) those are some crude examples I threw together in about an hour in creative mode (takes much longer without 1 shotting blocks) 4. Follow all server rules. if you want to destroy a house you will probably have to notify a GM (for fancy protected houses after contacting the person who owns it. Ugly block houses in the wilds will probably not be worried about) attempt to contact the person who owns it give them a week to get back to you(sign outside the house asking to be contacted along with a date on it) EX: House in danger of destruction contact (forum name via forums) or it will be destroyed by (1 week from day) be sure to screenshot with coords so we have valid proof. if they are NOT OK with their home being destroyed it is NOT OK to destroy their house. (we will however keep pestering them to the extent that we can) ) PUNISHMENT- Punishments range from a slap on the wrist to banishment (server ban if you go overboard sorry can't and wont save you from this if a GM says no to something then it is NOT ok.) APPLICATION- Since we are new this will be short IG name – MC name- Timezone- Which "job" you are applying for?- Why you would like to join- I don't have a villain app but my friends are going to rob somebody will I be joining them? - if applying for Enforcer work Link to your villain app- EMPLOYMENT – We will have a trade thread shortly after the first mill is constructed. Once we are set up I will also accept PM's from people who would like to plan any GvG events or Guild V Town events (we can play the part of the raiding bandits once we get enough criminals) most of these events will have to be open ended with agreed upon win/loss trades. if you have any suggestions concerning the post then place em below I'll get around to reading em eventually.

((I'll assume I just missed another event...ah well same old same old anybody want to describe what happened oocly?))

Alright decided to set up in the south construction will begin when I can get a hold of Sin' recruitment will begin possibly this weekend here is the demo of the guild recruit page need feedback especially on simple work Simple Work ----------------- Gatherer- The gatherer’s job is to gather all kinds of materials for us. From Orcish sand, Elven Lumber, and Dwarven Ores the gatherers gather it all for the sake of profit! (basic rank) Adventurer – The adventurer’s job is to slay monsters and bring in his findings. 1/10th of his findings should be turned in to the company. In exchange he will be given room and board if the earnings are excessive then the adventurer shall be entitled to rewards such as free equipment meals and the like. (Will also be responsible for boosting PR by defending the good people during undead attacks) Engineer– (builder) (must be able to make cranes, machines (saws for the lumber mill), and make natural areas look ravaged) The engineer will be responsible for not only operating any machinery we employ but also constructing anything else required for our work. (Think you can make Laurelin look like it was logged recklessly for a quick buck?) Enforcer Work Seeking experts in the criminal field to ensure protection of assets. (roleplay version of "I need criminals") The following is OOC aka none of this “OMGZ ITS BLEKPAW KILLZ HIM HE BAD!” Highwayman – Your job is to make the streets UN-SAFE you will rob people of their minas and goods resorting to violence if things get hairy. You will also rob houses and strip them of valuables. -Very basic rank think of it as role playing training (recruit) Bruiser – The bruiser’s job is to ensure that clients who have paid for “Protection” get it. If need be you will resolve any little “Problems” we have with competition. (Competing shops that disagree with us you will burn smash and destroy if necessary ((this may include entire towns.) Any mercenary work that we are paid for you will perform. ((advanced highwayman you are “THE” roleplayers of the guild you will be treated like grunts but you can think of yourself one step above the rest)) Negotiator – The negotiator’s job is one of politics. Whether it is between guilds, kingdoms, or persons your job is to make deals that benefit us through ANY means necessary (blackmail, bribes, extortion, violence). As the negotiator you will also be in command of the Bruisers and Highwaymen. (Officer rank) (Only available through promotion.) (Dealing with is including but not limited to -Exclusivity contracts only WE get to work in that area -Price fixing (Tac & Co are charging 10 minas for iron ore!? Have a little chat with them don’t forget to take a couple Bruiser’s with you. (sorry mates but you gotta plan it out ahead of time with leader of T&C no MINDLESS griefing) [basically helping plan the roleplay events/ general overseeing] ) I'll have to create rules (a contract roleplay wise perhaps?), punishments and whatnot will also need ideas for the ranks still. I originally had 12 jobs (thank god I did away with most of em) but I was able to reduce it to 3 each I still think I should do away with most of the simple work jobs and make officer ranks but who knows.

To the current Librarians, I have recently come into possession of a large number of books many of which could be found within the now crumbling Kramaroe Library. They hold no value to myself however I know many in Aegis would wish to preserve these books. Pay me a sum of 2,500 minas for shipping and handling and they can have their wish. ((While doing villainous acts I realized nobody had looted the books from the library in Kramaroe so I took em I got nearly a full inventory full of the books 28-30 of em. a few of them are druid books)) ((Can't just give em away for free being a villain and whatnot)) -Sincerly Silas Blackpaw

So is that why there is an unfilled warn bar thing under my pic now or am I doing something wrong?

Big words from such a small fellow, we will have to see if they hold any value. If they do have value...expect to be shortchanged. :twisted: ((I'll get around to insulting sharp ears up there later when I can think of something insulting to respond with)) As for building help I will accept it however I plan to actually pay the builder his sum (for the first buildings anyways then we can just copy the design) since this will put us in a need for profits which will keep us busy. What to take from this is that I'll PM you and anybody else who wants in when we start construction so you can look at the basic schematics of the place since I am no builder. oddly enough this has given me the idea of a "caravan" event when we got the money to afford to do this. (once we all paid off and making profits we can announce when we are shipping OOCly so we can get some robin hood esque ambushes going on against us)

As of now I am not. I probably will not accept members until I make all my little secret deals with secret little people (in about a week, after I am sure the company will have things to do and I have set up guidelines to make sure the guild does not become grand theft grief IV). Do note that even though Silas is a lumberjack this is a trading Co. so expect to have a hand in everything (mining, excavation, lumber-jacking etc.) we are just starting with a mill since it would make sense roleplay wise for Silas to go with what he knows. (plus the areas I have in mind are infested with trees.) I have a few give me opinions on these ones Engineer (non criminal?) Negotiator (criminal boss?)

Hello again audience today I come before you asking for your help. If you have not already read the basis of my Ideas you may do so Here I shall begin by stating current news. Last Edited (dd/mm/yy): 10/13/11 12:52pm (gmt-7) - Silas is scouting out locations for his get-rich plans - A builder for the many things we shall require has been Hired if you have any suggestions for things we should have him plan out I would love to hear them. - I have contacted Golden_Richards and he is willing to provide ongoing 'mentoring' This means that the organization will follow a similar model to his -Added another question -------------------------------------- Now that we have that out of the way I will need the following from you creative fellows -Where the first mill should be set up (got two locations in mind but I'm open to suggestions) Either to the south in the wilds near the druid's tree in Ravenhold (as such druids would get first crack at us and could make the issue widely known since I KNOW druids get around) Up north near Al'khazar (not in the damn snow bad things happen up there) If we are in the south we will attempt to harvest the druid's willow tree (only out of retaliation so that non-villain app holders may participate [may try to call in the black hand to create chaos here they could attack our mill and attack the druid tree both sides think they are right in this one]) however if we are in the north expect the first MAJOR target we try to set our eyes on to be Charlie4vb's forests (the very pretty one Wildewyn Woods Link). Either way the mill shall be established in the wilds so traditional kingdom (KEY WORD HERE KINGDOM)laws will not apply (ie since it is the wilds we are allowed to log in that area) and the major events will not happen without some Monarch's support (ie burning of the elves tree will not happen unless King Enor, Algrim, or one of the orc Dominus' would support us [or we convince the entire elvish princedom to stay out of it] since it is on elvish land and the druids would have sway) (The gathering of that large forest WILL NOT happen until Enor gives us logging rights). Either way these big events would be faaarrr off. Personally I am in favor of the Northern Mill simply because it could relieve us of the stress of a possible elvish human war (throw in the whole industrialists vs naturalists and we got problems knowing who is on which side). -The second thing I will require from you brave folks is names for the various ranks in the guild I have one suggested by Golden_Richards Blackpaw Enforcers I would like names for 6 ranks 3 Criminal and 3 Legal (Since we will attempt to encourage common banditry) (similar to Richards 3 ranks: member, officer, The officer of Officers) -Third I would like ideas for events you would love to see happen (if I get some basic villains you can expect a lot more old women holding bags surrounded by corpses in aegis) report any misspellings/typo's via PM please and thank you.

I've been here since DAY 1 I am a donator and I have quite a bit (not anymore killed my character off threw everything into a fire goodbye doublechest full of diamonds) of money. Personally I think we need to go Tabula but then after playing Dwarf Fortress I understand the subtle phrase "Losing is Fun" and it truly is. While I am for starting over and only VIP's getting their donator money (they will just spend it on expensive houses anyways like they did server release ((which gave the kings the money to hire workers to build more houses who could then buy houses etc cycle goes on forever don't QQ.))) I can understand the set system. Whatever you GM's decide to do I'll support you even though I'm swaying towards Tabula.

Perhaps you can take inspiration from this As you can see it has multiple levels, gives that cavernous feel, and has a bit of a crypt feeling.

I'm never on for the cool stuff *kicks a rock*.

((Looks most excellent I can only wonder what magic will be like)) *Seldrium's aged eye finishes scanning the parchment* Dark days are coming to Aegis...my research is not fruitful and every winter death creeps closer to me...I will help the wizard do some good before my time here ends. I can only hope that I am properly informed of what is to come and the battle does not end similar to Alstion and Snowy fields.

Ah so they have the permissions to accept invites or is it still just you?

New highway is ugly please burn it with fire.
