Title: Monketh's Tavern & Merchant Association
Post by: Monketh on August 02, 2003, 08:06:43 pm: Monketh\'s Tavern & Merchant Association:

Well, I\'m not forming a guild. This is an idea disscussed on the forum. An association the issues seals of approval for Merchants & Taverns, a place to disscuss such things, and an issuer of titles.

Oh, and a gathering place for those who dwell there (cooks, musicians, rogues)

(yes the name can be changed)

Post by: Half_Pint on August 02, 2003, 09:12:14 pm: I would like to give this wonderful idea the full support of Mirth Guild. :)

What could be better after a long journey than a warm, cheerful inn? A very Mirthful idea, Monketh!

I\'m planning to open a tavern myself in-game. Could I join your association?
Title:
Post by: Monketh on August 02, 2003, 09:27:52 pm: Most Certainly, Mr. Pint. I\'m just looking for enough ppl right now to justify the effort of creating a message board. I don\'t quite have seals to give yet though :D .

Now hiring: Head Honchos, Managers, Members, and Assorted employees & minions

The pay is $0.00 by the way :P

Post by: Drilixer on August 03, 2003, 04:19:14 am: I\'m interested in a strange way... is it possible tyo belong to more than one guild?
Title:
Post by: Half_Pint on August 03, 2003, 05:10:02 am: You can\'t belong to multiple ingame guilds, but this isn\'t a guild anyway.
Title:
Post by: Monketh on August 03, 2003, 09:37:06 pm: Exactly, because if it were a guild almost no one would join. But this isn\'t a guild and will not be operated like one, we will make no allies or enemies*. Just a place for disscussion, and business

*there will be two lists, one of trustworthy and approved traders, and one of nasty cheats, thieves, and scammers.

Post by: Monketh on August 03, 2003, 10:24:08 pm: Moving this thread was/is a good Idea. Go ahead and delete this one if you wish to Vengeance.

Post by: Monketh on August 19, 2003, 02:11:58 am: (This might be spamming, but *bump*)

Anyway, I played around and got this. Comments in GD plz.

Post by: Evanchild on August 19, 2003, 02:32:04 am: i think my whole guild should belong to this :)
Title:
Post by: Monketh on August 19, 2003, 02:53:09 am: It was previously established as you can see. But anyway I\'d suggest registering on the forums and sharing your ideas. You can register at the site too and it should add your name.(or guild name)
Title:
Post by: dorbian on August 25, 2003, 12:21:01 pm: well i\'m going to make a page where guilds can register and the info page should show the benefits of it all as soon as monketh and i agreed on all the points so monketh lets start debating :P

that\'s the reason i have kept it out i need to work all the things out before i can actually bulid it.

if you have any suggestions let me know on the forum i\'m there every day so you will have a answer within 24 hours ( max )
Title:
Post by: dorbian on August 29, 2003, 11:23:47 am: Hey people i finally managed the guilds registration page to work so come on over and register yourself.
Sooner or later it will be your own benefit.
Title:
Post by: Wolfmane on August 29, 2003, 05:06:44 pm: Well done Dorbian! I really hope many of those who plan to play as merchants, cooks, tavern owners and the like take this up and begin to register at the Association.

Monketh the basic idea of the logo banner is good. would change the black text into something lighter that reads better on the dark background though. Also you might want to try a font like old English (I\'m not sure what you used there) which will add to the feel and fit in very well with the theme.

Keep us updated, I\'m following this with great interest and rising enthusiasm.
Title:
Post by: dorbian on August 30, 2003, 06:52:54 pm: well i made the banner to but i\'m not the graphical person i\'d rather have someone who creates the banner for us then i would have to do it.

but iused diabolical as the font but that is a bit out of place right now so if monketh agrees ( since it IS his site and idea ) i would like someone to recreate the banner.
Title:
Post by: Monketh on August 30, 2003, 08:05:09 pm: I agree completely.
Anyway since you were asking about ideas for the marketplace, I kinda like it how it is.
You know, something like this:

Name of item:
Cost:
Enchanted/spec abilities:
Description:
Poster\'s or seller\'s/buyer\'s name:

in general.

Post by: Drilixer on August 30, 2003, 08:05:17 pm: Dorbian what is that on your sig picture? I like it! but i just can\'t tell what that thing on the right side is
Title:
Post by: Evanchild on August 30, 2003, 09:22:11 pm: or you could certify guilds for trade like in my sig it would be on ebay, evanchild ertified MTMA trader :P
Title:
Post by: dorbian on September 01, 2003, 03:15:36 pm: its someone with his head a bit bended his name is kakashi :P and apperantly i\'m just like him. :D
Title:
Post by: Monketh on September 01, 2003, 03:52:04 pm: We\'re having trouble with our forums...
Though I\'m sure I could gimp you a certificate or badge or something.
Title:
Post by: Monketh on September 02, 2003, 03:13:38 am: http://www.geocities.com/sgtfunkymonkey/mtmacert.txt

Hehe, having fun with the gimp. Anyway, all you MTMA members out there feel free to wear it (in your sig).

Anyone know why IMG doesn\'t work for me?
Title:
Post by: Monketh on September 02, 2003, 11:17:56 pm: Our forum is fixed now! Well sorta, the old missing posts are still missing. But come on over anyway! :)

it has to end in a image tag. not txt

Post by: Monketh on September 03, 2003, 12:41:21 am: Perhaps I should be using hostmysig instead of geocities...
Title:
Post by: Wolfmane on September 03, 2003, 09:04:29 am: Nice sig Monketh! I\'ll pop-around the forum to see how it is working now, any new members?

Btw Monketh did you see the banner version I posted or are they missing? And let\'s get some ideas for the certification rolling.

One idea, maybe Taverns should be certified with a Beer mug with the association logo on. Then the tavern could also be rated by users so it get\'s a 1, 2 or 3 Beer mug rating (small ones added underneath like hotel star ratings).
Title:
Post by: dorbian on September 03, 2003, 11:17:51 am: sounds great but that won\'t be on the forum though but i think i will be able to create something like that on the main page of the beta site ( won\'t seem that different maybe some images done different but that\'s all )
Title:
Post by: Monketh on September 03, 2003, 09:37:17 pm: Thx Wolf, but moogie made it. Remember \"The Make Monketh an sig/avatar contest\"?

Anywho that sounds good, but I\'d go with 4 or 5 mugs. As for certification, I\'d collect reviews from trusted members/community members probably.

The only certified things right now are:
the future Tavern of Half Pint
and the Gnome Merchants Guild

not too many, as you can see :P
Title:
Post by: Wolfmane on September 07, 2003, 11:42:39 pm: Well if Moogie made it, I\'m sure its a good one. I\'ll pop around and have a look. You should also consider Kada-El\'s cosy Tavern for certification. Id like to see how the beer mugs idea turns out. Keep up the good work guys.

Any ppl out there thinking of running a Tavern, merchant shop or the likes in PS then check out the association, you fail to join at your own peril :D
