First of all I want to say that I am sorry for the cheesy intro but I have to attract people somehow. And that is supposed to be Ragnarok not Ragna.
The Sentinels of the Ragnarok:
History
The end of humanity had come and gone with the final battle, Ragnarok, between the Norse Gods and the evil giants from Muspelheim. The world regressed and fell into a terrible ice age. The last two humans wandered down from the Yggdrasil tree in a sullen attempt at replenishing the world. Hope had been lost? At the threshold of death, this man and women prayed to their fallen Gods for solace. This prayer awakened the final three Einharjar from their slumber in Valhalla. They had been put to sleep by the great Odin who knew the destiny of the Gods. These three brave Einharjar, Valbrandr, Induane, and the all-knowing Hyrcanus, who had been imbued with the memory of Munin, bestowed upon these two humans a time without hunger, without bitter cold, and without suffering. They came to be known as the Triumvirate. The Triumvirate became the protectors of the righteous in an attempt to restore humanity to the dismal land.
Time slowly passed human recollection. And what had been made good gradually turned bitter. The humans began to struggle against one another in order to fulfil their aspirations for knowledge and power. The Triumvirate wanted to provide guidance for the people. This was no easy task for the human?s wills had been broken and their faith had diminished. These humans knew that their ancestors could not escape the ecstasy of warfare under their Gods. If the Gods could not bring peace to the lands of the Northmen, how was a Triumvirate of Einharjar going to bestow peace upon the land. This was a fair question because these Einharjar had very little physical power compared to that of the Gods. However, there was one major difference between the Triumvirate and the Norse Gods: The Triumvirate was a council of loyal warriors who relied on one another on and off the battlefield. They were three entities with one concise conclusion. In contrast, the Gods meddled in human affairs, they were often divided which caused them to fight amongst themselves and would habitually spill over into the lands of Midgard, and their goal was to keep man subservient to the will of the Gods.
The Triumvirate took a different approach. They wanted to grant man absolute freedom in which humans would obtain knowledge for the continuation of the evolutionary process. With their progression would come peace to their lands. This was difficult for the people to grasp, possibly too idealistic for a world ruled by the rationale of humans. There was widespread anarchy for a time followed by a period of divisions and blind hatred between classes and races. The Triumvirate finally decided to assert their authority in an indirect way.
They thought that if they could trick all peoples of the hierarchy into working together for a common good that peace would win over greed and intolerance. They created Planeshift. All people were encouraged to participate in a journey throughout the lands of the world. These people, referred to as Sentinels, were to find ancient artifacts and information on the battle of the Ragnarok. They were to retell the story of the Ragnarok and come to a conclusion on why it happened and who was at fault. For their travels, they would receive immortality but not in life, through death. Their deeds will be remembered through a legendary story: The Saga of the Einharjar.
Mission Statement
This guild, The Sentinels of the Ragnarok, is a neutral aligned guild that will accept a variety of different members regardless of their class or race. We want to maximize the experience of Planeshift on our way to become an upper echelon guild who will one day reside in a castle. Our goal is to have fun with this online RPG and make it more fun for the people who join our guild with cool job classes and mobility to become an elite player in the guild.
New Developments
I have finished the guilds class structure, or Hierarchy. The Hierarchy has recently been modified. Now there will be three Orders under direct rule of Liege Lords and six Legions under direct control of Feudal Lords.
9. The Triumvirate - A three person council that leads the guild. (Valbrandr, Induane, and Hyrcanus)
8. The Einharjar - The protectorate of the Triumvirate.
7. The Varangian Guard - Elite fighting unit, preserve integrity of the guild. This Rank will only be achieved by one Liege Lord who will become the Supreme Varagian of the guild. They are agressive not defensive and will be comprised of elite Mercenaries. Though Mercenaries they must be loyal to the guild. All in this level will be under command of the Supreme Varangian.
6. The Comitatus - Overseers of the feudal system, resolves disputes between lords and vassals.
5. Liege Lord - Participate in the Feudal system of Vassalage. Have the ability to recruit Feudal Lords to your service, create a small army. (With the permission of the Triumvirate) Three new Orders have been created.
Each will be ruled by a Liege Lord: The Hospitalers, Knights Templar, and Teutonic Knights.
4. Feudal Lord - Participate in the Feudal system of Vassalage. Have the ability to recruit Knights to your service, create a small army.(With the permission of the Triumvirate) Six new Legions have been created each headed by a different Feudal Lord: Berserkers, Gladiators, Highlanders, Militia, Samarai, and Woad Raiders.
3. Knight - Seek and discover the mysteries of Planeshift. Fight for your promotion to Lord.
2. Squire - Venture out and explore your surroundings. Gain experience on the battlefield.
1. Apprentice - Get accquanted with more elite members of the group. Absorb knowledge and learn the basics.
Guild Status
We currently have seven members with another five ready to join.

meh, been there done that... If you want to get rid of comments like that, click link in my sig and read the story :P
- Swords
-
Could you elaborate on what you mean? I was confused. Thanks for replying - we\'d like more pople to take time to respond.
-
Well if you\'re going to use the nordic mythology, get used to comments about it being not related to Planeshift. Had that when starting Templars of Steel, so I finally made the story (you might want to check it) and no one seems to whine now...
- Swords
-
the only issue i see is that you have guards who rank higher than lords, thats just strange, perhaps, change the top guards to a hero definition, after all the entire guild would protect its leaders
-
MMmmmm....
Hmm.....
*ponders*
Wouldnt this be good since its trying to save people? A Neutral person would be like... too lazy....to have worthy cause.....get somone else....to do it. :P
EDIT sp mistakes, I really need a new keyboard...
-
I understand why you would think that we are a good aligned guild but if we do that we narrow our options to recruits who are good and neutral when there are plenty of good players we might declare themselves evil. As long as there actions do not negatively effect the guild I don\'t mind who joins.

nah, The Varangian Guard is a must :P
maybe change some lord to Varangian...
- Swords
-
I agree Draklar, the Varagian Guard is a must. Maybe I should promote one Liege Lord to Supreme Lord who rules over the Guard.
-
yeah, I might be wrong here, but weren\'t Varagian Guards ruled by Varagians? If so you could rename lord to that...
- Swords
-
That is somewhat true. The first Varagians were ruled by Rurik who founded Novgorod. He was a Varagian however, later they became an elite unit sworn to the protection of the Byzantine Emporer. I will consider the change. I do not have it on my website yet but under Feudal Lord I am going to make six sub classes. One is Berserker, maybe the Lord of the Berserkers can be promoted to the Supreme Lord.

That\'s so not true! I\'d argue my point, if I wasn\'t too lazy.... :D
*insert usual remarks about sticking to PS background*
*insert usual congratulations and moral support*
:D Who says neutrals are lazy? :D
-
Our website is not finished but it has been fixed. We had some technical difficulties and the backgrounds were not showing up. Post back with additional ideas. Just remember it is not finished.
-
Not bad. Nothing spectacular, but it works. The style, that is, I didn\'t check for content. :D
-
I elaborated on the story trying not to water down the substance. Hope everyone enjoys it (Especially Draklar). Post back if you like it and tell me what you think of the verb choices.
-
Good luck on your guild. Looks like you got a good idea going so dont let it go to waste.
-
IC:
hmmm new fresh enemy\'s to ponder into the pits of doom.
OOC:
The site looks a little basic but that doesn\'t matter, i would change the font color though, if you are goin to use a light background take a dark color for the text, this hurts my eyes after a while.
-
Thanks for the input - we had been considering changing the font color because we found it tough to read too. We also considered chaning the background color instead... which do you think would be better - asthetically speaking?
-
It seems like there aren\'t many poeple responding. I was hoping to see more responses. Other than that it looks like all is going well. I like the changes to the story.
-
We have initiated a new member, Seperot. After I stood on his throat he gave in and crawled to our side. Everybody say hi to Seperot the sissy.
-
umm....how dumb are you?
btw when was i part of the merc guidl? total moron
-
Eeeeh.. This is lame.. Got copied once again \\o/... Stop this thread before you get hurt >: |
-
Did I miss something again? (http://smaylik.by.ru/i/357.gif)
-
Thats weird - I thought you (seperot) was working with Seiferune\'s guild - and they are a merc guild I thought. Maybe I\'m wrong about all that... Anyways... - I was just saying this because I thought you were a merc also.
Also Newpie - I don\'t understand your post. What do you mean by got copied once again? Just curious.
Also - I have heard complaints that our website has a light background with white lettering. If this is true still please let us know - the color should be dark blue... It might be a glitch I need to fix. Let me know so I can fix this error if it is something I screwed up on.
Also I have noticed that in my post I have alot of also\'s . ... I\'m not sure whats wrong with me. but anyways...
Also - Seperot . . . Are you calling names just because someone called you a sissy... Not to judge but after looking through the forums I don\'t see any positive posts by you (though I may just have missed them). You seem highly critical, and overly serious.. You also seem a bit egotistical and self-centered (though at least you don\'t have a fan club for yourself ( ;) - Just joking newpie). And if you Seperot have an ounce of intelligence you\'d have realized that Vabrandr\'s post was simply to initiate a response from you... and it worked. And you didn\'t come across as too chivalrous either. Be careful - I think you overestimate your own intelligence.
P.S. I checked our your website Seperot - if you are going to continue to post negative messages about our guild and its members, would you please add us to your enemies list? I would appriciate the gesture. (I like the idea of a enemies and allies list - I may add it to our website).
-
lso - Seperot . . . Are you calling names just because someone called you a sissy... Not to judge but after looking through the forums I don\'t see any positive posts by you (though I may just have missed them). You seem highly critical, and overly serious.. You also seem a bit egotistical and self-centered
good im doing my job then :)
i think you misunderstand...i pointed out Valbrandr that he was trying to allie with the most elitest snobby guild this side of the world and how it was a joke that they would accsept anyone...he then steps on my trout for some odd reason and claims that i\'ve joined your guild. to that i call him a moron.
perhaps you should look at the facts before you become the judge :)
oh and newpie dose have a fan club...its in japan :P
-
We didn\'t know at the time that they were such a snobby guild, though after dealing with them I see you are definately right about that - still, if that was what you meant - then why didn\'t you just say so? - It just looked like you were trying to start a fight - neither of us even had a clue that you were joking - had we figured that out I don\'t think either one of us would have said anything.
-
*ahem* well then
had we figured that out I don\'t think either one of us would have said anything.
perhaps you overestimate your intelligence :)
-
I doubt that. However, It seems that your inteligence comes into question all too often. The real issue here is that you are just a prick. You seem be destructive not constructive. How much have you helped anyone. You are always negative. Whats bothering you anyway?
-
who said anyone here has to be constructive here... fact is your an enemy guild so why on earth do i want to give you any support?
now i called you a moron for a good reason... you are one. :)
also you started this little battle im just riding the wave of it :P

oh please, the only member that you dealt with was Sangwa, who imo was not snobby at all...Originally posted by Induane

Sure he does, I am president of it :rolleyes: :P

I am glad to here from you so soon. It is funny that you think im a moron for mispelling one word (among other things) and in a post you sent me you mispelled ally (allie) and accept (accsept). It appears that you and you alone are the moron. I am also glad that I sent that post to the DE. It helped me find out what kind of prick you are. It seems that no one likes you sissy Seperot and no one pays much attention to what you say. I bet it is good to be *Special*. Hope to see you in the game soon, you can ride my battle axe.
-
I should not speak for Induane but I know he just meant that to Sangwa. There has been no respect lost for you, infact you seem to be one of the more level-headed people that browse the forum.
-
actually i think your a moron because you are incompotent slow and unable to notice what is being pointed out. you have also been able to point out something within the year and a half i\'ve been on this forum everyone already knows you fool :P i won worst speller of this forum for gods sake. and perhaps you should look up the word sissy before you call it me you baboon im hardly running from you :rolleyes:
-
I will look up sissy before I call *it you again*. What am I missing. I can hardly understand what you are trying to say because of your incompetence.
-
dear me Induane it seems you might wanna start up a new thread your lacky has made a mess on this one trying to show the world just how stupid he is *pats Valbrandr on the head* :P
-
Maybe your the one who does not understand. I wanted to spark a conversation and I did just that. The more people that read this, the more people find out how dumb you are ( as if they already did not know). They also may stop and read our story or whatever. Either way it just helps get our name out there. Thanks Seperoth, *Valbrandr pats Seperoth on his protective helmet*.

I can\'t even express how much I enjoy reading this kind of topics... (http://smaylik.by.ru/i/277.gif)

Obviously your name would be Seperoth but someone beat you to it, how original. And, for you information, there are three leaders in our group. Induane, Hyrcanus, and myself, Valbrandr. We are a Triumvirate ( not that I expect you to understand that big word). Im just trying to help you knowing your condition.
-
Thank you Exaero. I belive it is good entertainment too. Seperot is a good actor.

wow you repeted yourself there with telling me your a group of 3 leaders and then telling it me again with a fancy word :P
you needed to show me my \"condition\" would first need warrent of me not knowing it :rolleyes:
-
So it took you that long to find your Final Fantasy VII booklet huh, nice. Since you like me so much, maybe we can set a play date (knowing you must still be in preschool. Maybe your mother will allow you to come over and rehearse your lines for the soap opera im creating, Seperot the republican sissy girl.

true but how could i afford a pc that could run cb and a good inet connection and have electricity in a dump? moron realy suits you
-
Actually, I am 22 and a junior in college. Ahh... I am glad to meet a fellow liberal, atleast you are not a republican. We do have one thing in common.
-
good for you. now i think we ran the fun train on this to death and im gonna go have fun with something else now...shame about your thread n all :P
-
You do not have to live in a dumpster to be a bum. You can still have nice things and be trash on the inside or you can take out your sexual frustration in a forum.
-
Whomever has been entertained by this one sided arguement, please, go check out the Kezuke Clan webpage. It has some cool ideas.
-
lol sexualy fustration? perhaps you havent met my girlfriend ingame and in rl named Moogie...pm her if you dont beilve me :D
-
lol, just kidding. All in good fun.

Wow, I leave the forum for just a few hours and the whole thing bursts into flames. First off:
Quote:Originally posted by Induane

I had thought that Annah was a member also, though I guess not. You\'re right to an extent - I havn\'t dealt with the other people in the guild, so I can\'t judge them, and Sangwa had some good things to say - I agree. My problem was with the term \"elite\". I guess I just didn\'t like the word and how it was used to make it seem that other players were not good enough for them. I also didn\'t appriciate everyone laughing at our attemp to make a friendship with a guild, as it was only a suggestion - its not like we sent them a personal squire....
Seperot - I believe you about your girlfriend. And to avoid dragging her into this or insulting someone who has not done anything bad to us, I\'ll just leave it there. I\'m sure she is wonderful - and patient.
Still, reading this is whole thing is giving me a headache. Especially all the tedious insults about grammar and spelling. Whats up with that? Anyone could scrutinize these posts and find a plethora of stuff to talk about - such as ideas and content - without adding a 8th grade grammer lesson to it - it gets kinda tireing. ANd yess - I can\'t spel - me a big dumby.
Also Seperot - its been at least three hours. After all this back and fourth bickering I\'d have thought you would have added us to your enemy list. How come you have not? ?(
I was looking foreward to being on your enemy list.
Whoa! After further inspection of this thread I have noticed that you are from the UK - why didn\'t you say so before? Had I known that - I would have been slightly less defensive. Wankers are always a bit egotistical. I mean - its what they are known for. That and losing to the US in two wars. Not that the U.S. is much better. We let the vietcong get us, and now we\'re locked in a hopeless battle against insrugents using gurilla tactics... I guess the apple never falls too far from the tree....
Anyways - seperot, you are such an interesting person. Why don\'t you join our guild? I guarantee it would never get too dull! Think of it! We could let you buy stuff... sell stuff... make enemies for us... Insult our friends... Insult our moms... wait! What? :rolleyes:
Oh and just because you can afford a decent computer and internet doesn\'t make you well off. Shoot - I pull in less than 19,000 per year (not sure how to convert that to pounds), but I live in a 4 bedroom house, have 3 very nice computers, and have high speed broad band satellite internet... and a car...except it sounds funny now - (NEED NEW WHEEL BEARING). So - you could still live in a dump.
Oh oh oh - maybe we should all move to Canada and start a new guild based on socialism and sharing everything.
I\"m losing it now - anyways - great to hear from everyone. I\'ll check back in a bit to see how all this is going.
-
Seperot is his original name and always has been. The only thing this whole hissy-fit between you both proves that you\'re both just as immature as eachother. Grow up, and stop throwing around names like \"sissy\" and \"prick\"... say something worse, please! :D
Too many rubbish posts to delete... ah well. Closed instead.
