Port~Calem
(http://portcalem.no.sapo.pt/img_indexos/logo.GIF)
About Us
We are a guild that acts like an organisation into the fantastic world of Planeshift. We are a neutral guild: not good nor evil. We just act depending on what\'s happening in the game.
The guild is divided in 4 Circles (schools) which cover all areas. So, the guild is open to all kinds of players: everyone will find the right place in the guild depending on its interests/craft/class/... in the game.
Note: If you want to join us, you have to know that there is no restrictions about races, way of thinking, age or even religions.
Our Origins
Long time ago, a time that even the very old trees don\'t remeber, came to our world a very clever human. He had a gift: we could read the future, but couldn\'t tell to anybody his visions. The prediction wanted him to be alive for centuries, even thousand and thousand years.He lived years and years in a far land called Magnamund. Because of some wars and climatic transformation of the world, the Oraculu - it\'s how people called him - went away from his land with some followers. After months and months of nomad life, they finally discovered a fine place to stay and to live: they called Port Calem because of and old port was right on this place...
The Oraculu and his friends made an order called \"Magnaka?\"
Months, year, centuries have passed. The sons of the sons of many generations of the Oraculu\'s followers learn the Oraculu\'s philosophy. They try to reconstitue all the books where he writed his knowledge and spend their time learn and understand it. Recently, a reincarnation of the Oraculu into an alive mineral creature came troubling Port Calem: the Profeta. We don\'t really know what he tod to the elders, but they seemed very nervous. They orderer to form a guild to represent the community and asked to leave Port Calem to explore far and fantastic lands unknown by us. We don\'t kown why We had to let down our still life... But something isn\'t going right... Something is happening... The world and the History will change soon....
Our Beliefs
We balieve that the knowledge is the base of all things. Even a warior have to possess some knowledges or strategies about fighting. We don\'t think the strengh wins the knowledge. We just believe that people who spend time to learn is better ready for an improvisation situation than the others. This is why we will pass on the philosophy of Oraculus the every player who wants to join us.
Levels
IMPORTANT NOTE: We are a guild with a 5 levels system. The levels 1 to 4 are equivalent. The levels 5 to 8 are the other levels. Level 9 is reserved to Profeta (leader).
Aprendis (levels 1 to 4 )
Apprentice
This is the lower level in the Guild. There are four different ways to be Aprendis according to the Circles:
1 - Focus Aprendis :: military
2 - Lumen Aprendis :: science & knowledge
3 - Solaris Aprendis :: misc
4 - Spiritus Aprendis :: magic & mysteries
Note: Ordered by alphabetical order and not by graduation.
The newcomers go to the Focus Aprendis with 0 points till the decided which Circle they want to join. They are recruits in our army.
When they integer a Circle they recieve 10 points.
Aprendis are members under observation by the superiors. They learn everything they have to know about the guild.
They have to follow studies in a Circle to become a Maistre in thei craft / class.
During the learning and evaluation time we strongle recomend to the Aprendis to chose a member in the Guild as protector ( \"Tutelaris\" ). This one will help them in their task and duties. He have to belong to the same Circle of the Aprendis.
The points go from 10 to 49. An Aprendis with 20 is more graduate than an Aprendis with 10. But Aprendis with 10 to 19 points have the same graduation.
Maistre Ka? (level 8 )
Master Ka?
They are the in the top of the Circles and the Guild. Among the Maistre Ka?, it will be Magnus Maistre Ka? (Great Master Ka?),
* Magnus Maistre Ka? (guild points: 95)
They are the maximal autorithy into a Circle. If a Maistre Ka? is too much criticized or decide to leave its charge for any reasons, another Maistre Ka? will replace him temporarily or definitly. He is chose by a Guild vote.
Actuals Magnus Maistre Ka? of the Guild:
* Focus Circle :: Ashamn
* Lumen Circle :: Okran (having some troubles in cantact him, so is going to be replaced)
* Solaris Circle :: Gatuno
* Spiritus Circle :: Pelerimer
* Maitsre Ka? (guild points: 90)
In measure the Guild grows, Maistre Ka? will be nominated to second and help the Magnus Maistre Ka?. They can be maximum 4 Maistre Ka? by Circle.
Note: A Maguns Maistre Ka? or a Maistre Ka? can be relegated to inferior levels for any abuse of power or bad leadership.

Very....detailed. Where will you get that many people to research all that? And btw, you do know shipd don\'t exist in ps right?
*pauses for a sec*
*bursts into laughter*
Ah, Id stay and chat but I gotta go to th hospital cuz my side split.
Good luck with your nw guild. I won\'t buzz this one out just yet :)
Edit: checked the site out, seems you have like 30 members! Did you mass in game or somthing? And why havn\'t I heard of you if ur so big?
-
Uhm... I understand you\'re outsiders... because I don\'t think anyone would build port at a pond or something :P
Everything seems well thought of and I\'d wish you good luck, but mass recruiting guilds don\'t gain my sympathy...
- Swords
-
Well, about the mass recruiting thing i have to say that it doesn\'t work and u\'re right cause some of the members recruited this way are going to be removed from the guild for just not care with it.
About the image, well in PS are travellers and if im not right a small lake (http://www.planeshift.it/setting_overview.html), so why dont to put ships on it? :)
Cyas \\o/
-
Well the lake is too small for ships to have any use... or that\'s what devs say... or something...
Edit: On Odin\'s only eye! resize your sig 8o
- Swords
-
It can be or not, it isnt donne yet so... :P
-
Well, it was too long for my attention span. I didn\'t read through it all. However, if you\'ve thought out that much material, you\'re probably on the right path. So good luck.
*transtation*
Ditto whatever Annah and Draklar said.
-
Thx Phinehas ;)
Glad to hear it from an experienced player :D.
-
Will this guild be an all around do everthing guild, or will it have a specific purpose? (I know it says it will act with what is happening in the game, but what does this mean?)
Besides this small point it seems to be a very well structured guild and I wish it all the best of luck :)

Annah never posted here :P

To answer Kwip, this guild does everything.
We can have farmers, mages, thiefs, soldiers, diplomats, etc, in the Circles of the guild.
Has u can see, we are trying to be a society, one of our wishes that we want to make possible.
We will act depending on the game deppending of our relationships with other guild, players, etc...
-
Err... yeah... about that... heh heh... *embarrassed* I meant Efflixi.
-
So you are like Portuguese ppl (a proud portuguese myself :P) you\'re brave and want to seek out for new worlds even if it\'s in a small pond... Also I got the impression that you want to form a society... maybe someday someone digs out of this stalactite and for the 1st time we can see the real star that iluminates the planet... and maybe we can discover new intelegent races... ok, enough of dreaming...
Anyway I wish you guys good luck ;)
-
Thx Lordbug, we (me and Gatuno) are glad that we can count with proud portuguese ppl :).
Just a note: There are only 2 pts in the guild, there is um brasileiro and the rest is from the rest of the world, por isso nao digas k isto e um guild pt se nao morremos :S.
Good luck to u and your guild too

Unlike most of you i like the idea of having a boat as a symbol.
Maybe this guild saw it in an ancient wall painting.... maybe its the boat the ancient Oraculu used... that is for the circles to find out, if they dont know already. ;)
And thumbs up for the \"Hermetic\" (from Hermes) flavour of the background, finaly some solid ground to create a sage char.

Well, now i can officially tell it: I\'m the new Lumen Circle Leader!! Congrats Shannath!!

Lol
PS (Post Scriptum, not PlaneSchift LOL)
We are recruting new members.We requests:
For Focus Circle (military) people which weapons skill any weapons, from 0 to the infinite (well, better infinite..joking...lol)
For Lumen Circle (general knowledge and science) and Solaris Circle(misc) it should better someone who has at least 10 on non weapons skills but we will surely consider all requests.
For Spiritus Circle (mages or priests or so) all can do their requests, from magic skills 0 up
I often am on PS so if someone is interested to join or simply curiosity or friendship (no i don\'t borrow money... hehe) can type \"/who\" on the chat window and if he see my name can contact me writing \"/tell shannath lobos [what you want to say]\" with no square parenthesis. Otherwise here\'s the home page: http://www.port-calem.pt.to
you can go there and see by yourself who we are end/or leave a post in our forum. Beware: the site is in upgrade-mode so we have worker around it bringing hammers, spikes, boards and so on. Plz don\'t disturb their work doing comments as: \"my uncle Tom can work better with an hammer; nono: let me say it to you: if you put this board on 30? you will do it better.\" I pay workers for work not for listen comments and waste the time i pay!!!
LOLOL
