Im starting a new guild for dwarf characters one of the reasons im restricting race is for rp issues its like a society withen their culture or something like that, and another is for conformity cus i mean what could be cooler than an army of dwarves charging into battle?
here are the mainguidelines for guild( guidelines i mean general there will be exeptions to all except for #1):
1) Dwarfs only*
2) trying to stick with dwarf style weaponry: axes, hammers(when implemented) , and fists.
3) Smithing and mining should be main skills(besides combat)
4) Every dwarf knows how to fight so at least basic combat skills will be required.(this includes spell craft)
5) though i know the idea of dwarven wizards may seem odd magic is allowed just not necessarily encouraged however if u can effectively roleplay as such then you are free to be a dwarven wizard
those are just the basic ideas behind the guild
the main reasons i posted were to spread the word and toget some help on a name iv been playing with a variety of them and am thinking of somthing like:
Dwarves of the Pick and Hammer
Dwarves of the Hammer
Dwarven warriors
please feel free to contribute an ideas on the name or just the guild in general .
thankyou,
Tarach

War! X(
Naw, just joking :P
Good to see yet another kindred guild. Best of luck to you.
As for the name, wouldn\'t know... I\'m not familiar with dwarven culture :D
-
*seperot stares at the guild*
a...a.guild full of of dwarfs
*seperot grins evily*
a guild full of walking footballs oh happy days :D
ooc: Seperots char has i thing about using dwarfs as footballs unless he knows the dwarf well :P
-
cool
name suggestions:
Grungni\'s chosen
Bugman rangers
Karaz A Karak Hammerers
Gromril Diggers (Gromril being a dwarven word for Mithril, we could make it Platinum in PS)
Grudge Bringers
Ironbeards
then we could implement different classes amongst warriors say:
Runners
Tunnelfighters
Ubbernaut Slayers
Tefusang Slayers
;)Kran Slayers
;) Diaboli Slayers
;) Ekidukai Slayers
;) Ynwnn Slayer
etc, etc
Dwarfs hold grudges easily so depending on what character from what race has insulted a perticular dwarf he could become a member of one of the above untill he\'s got his vengeance, for that time he cannot do anything else then to satisfie his need for revenge.
Then off course we need our own Masters and apprentices.
Master merchants
Master smith
Master miners
Master armourers
Master Alchemists
etc.
The magis users could be united in Rune masters, Lore masters, each group concentrating on different spell groups.
And off course not to forget the most important thing our own brewery
We need to set up a Guild training program where the Veterans guide the young and reckless through the perils of the PS world.
They can climb up the guild ladder and gain status by quests given by a Elder counsil to prove their prowes and bravoury in battle or cunning and wit on other trades.
Things like trade as much in a week as possible for apprentice merchants, Go and slay an Ubbernaut, bring 30 tefusang teeth, mine 10 ore of gold and platinum.
And every member has to contribute being items wich can be borrowed for a time to complete a quest, knowledge sharing everything for the common goal of the superior Dwarves becoming the Rulers of the world............................................... :)
sorry, got carried away there.
But yeah great idea, count me in

lol what about getting an original idea? really just to copy something from another game like Warcraft or in this case Warhammer is really... sorry to say it but just plain stupid..... try using your brain and get an original idea ok?
-
well excuse me for being stupid and not using my brain lately but these were just the first things to spring to mind. I understand they are not very original and it was just to give some suggestions as to what kind of dwarf names could be suitable or what to think off when making one up.
sorry to wake you up but there\'s no original fantasy it\'s all derived from somewhere blending different things and influences to a new original. from the sumerian epic of Gilgamesh, the greek mythology of Jason and the argonauts, Norse, Celtic, Arabian mythologie and stories, Arthurian legend, etc etc all the way up to Conan. If you look at all of those you see the same basics. And I understand it\'s hard to keep originality but it\'s not easy making up the names from scratch.
that\'s all i say on you\'re reply my brain just got tired ;)
wait it wakened up again Maleficus derived from Malefica something to do with Wica and demons ;) ;)
-
Well well.... you see I said that it was stupid to take names from other games and well I have never said you were stupid now did I? and I am aware that it was just suggestions but I want to make clear that you should try and think of a new name something unique :)
And well it is a guild name not a new game you are making, so please spare me of the gilgamesh and so on talk....
and Maleficus is latin and means evil, so it is not a copy
besides it is your choice after all.... oh yeah and good luck with the guild... whoever it is that is creating it ;)
-
no hard feelings here
@tarachnul we have to put some ideas together i would gladly help to get this guild going
-
wow thanks for the ideas Gilibran but we will hav 2 try and work out atleast semi-original names tho...
also ive actually considered something similar to slayer system before we should go over it...
also 1 rank should be berserker dwarfs(can t use defensive stances:) )
and consider *weaponmasters* ie axemaster, hammermaster, fist master, etc.
oh btw im thinking guildmaster should be called thane...
wht you think?
P.S.
thanks all for advice/ support(spread the word to ANY dwarfs as noobs are all to allowed plz &ty)
PM me for guild admittance requests
-
WoW! we have a guild forum....how come no one told me =/.
I guess the leader isnt that good! So i challenge u for leadership which makes it my.....5th time trying to overthrow u???
I will succed this time!! If not i will try again :P.For now ill b 2nd in command(unless some other stronger guy replaces me), but just u wait when u least expect it......
-
FYI firro is 2nd in command because he is only other person in guild
*Edit* challenge system REMOVED--------
-
how will we know u wont rig it by kicking all the ones that are stronger then u out?
-
here is another BASIC outline this time of ranking system
in order to advance ranks u will have to acquire enough guild points from alredy highly ranked palyers to advance...heres the catch once u get enough say 25ish for lvl 2 u advance a rank and then have your points reset to zero:)
*Edit*challenge system REMOVED
P.S. hope this answers ur question firro;)
-
that idea doesnt seem good to me..
and dont wink at me...u have no right to wink at me...
-
*Edit* challenge system REMOVED ------------------------
-
true true...Now fight me! for my rank is above 6 :p
-
Someone who has strength in his arms, may not have wisdom in his head. Such challenging might be useful... but only for a band of barbarians, who\'s only goal is to bash stuff.
-
Draklar brings up a valid point however i think it should be known that my only real intent in the \"creation\" (very few of the ideas posted here have actually been integrated into guild as it only has 2 members*) of the challenge idea was so that higher ups such as Guildmaster(currently myself) couldnt just gain a withstanding monopoly over the guild.
also i do realize the flaws in the challenge system but right now im just trying to bounce ideas of the forum to see what kind of things people want and how i can best make the guild \"fair\".
anyone have other ideas to promote upward rank flow?
(once again everyones input is much appreciated and ANY advice on ANY aspect of the guild is most welcome. :D)
*want to fix this? PM me

-
Drinks all around! :D
Ive finally decided to stick with the moniker \"Dwarven Warriors\" this is now the official guild name and has been implemented for the past few days.
(questions or comments about the guild? ?( a subject you would like to discuss? POST it and i will most likely respond withen the day)
(want to join? PM me or /tell Tarachnul in game)

hmm...
still trying to think of the main story for the guild.... ?(
in the mean time...
ive decided our guild is of a generally lawful affiliation (due to the structured society of dwarves) however anyone with a good story(RP story) behind why their caracter is not lawful(whatever) is welcome to join.
-Tarach
-
Trust me, I like your ideas too. And I love being a dwarf... there the best characters anyway lol. I like your structure too.. but I still need to look at your site.
-
sorry i havent posted in awhile but ive been busy...
im currently working on the guild website and our main story line...
(by the way thanks valbrandr and it should be up \"soon\" :D )
-Tarach
-
oh no a society of feet stinking members... oh no...
(out off roleplaying) Dont you think it could be very annoying to see everytime the same face ? I advice to give them a number it could be easier : \"eh dwarf number 13! come here!\" lol. off course I send you all my wish of success for your guild. But dont forget to create a guild means website, members recruiting, KadaEl s vote... and so one. Do your best to be strong enough to be a good leader. See ya good luck!
-
i would join if i wasnt an unlawful greedy !@#@!$...

im really a nice person
