Title: The Mercenary Guild: Recruiting Dedicated Members
Post by: Jaxan on February 16, 2004, 05:25:33 am
(http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/jaxan/images/flaggers.jpg)

?There is one certainty, and that is death?

 

The greatest battle a warrior must face is the battle against fear.  All who take the life of the mercenary have emerged victorious from this conflict.  When death is no longer feared, an obstacle becomes a tool.  This tool shall not be used in the name of politics, honour, justice or love.  The services of the Guild may only be called upon in exchange for currency.  A life is worthless, until a bounty is placed upon it.  Beyond that, your motivations are not our concern.

 

?Death is the only law, and we are its masters?

 

Our world is one of chaos, not order, and strength inevitably triumphs ? the Guild is a bastion of strength and, inevitably, it shall triumph.  If you are weak, our strength may be purchased.  The guild offers a range of services, a range of prices, and a range of operatives.  The harder the job, the higher the price; the more experienced the operative you choose to employ, the more you must pay.  Espionage, guild wars, body guarding, armed escort, garrisoning ? all are within our abilities, as long as they are within your budget.  If you have the gold, we have the steel.

 

?We are a brotherhood of blood?

 

Be aware, that while the Guild is above the petty squabbles of politics, and its primary motivation is the pursuit of wealth, its members are loyally bound to each other through their knowledge of pain.  Treachery shall not be tolerated, whether between members or from outsiders.  The pride of the Guild shall at all times be maintained, and shall be mortally defended by its champions if it is challenged.  Therefore, do not doubt that to cross us is to welcome death, no matter how much you can pay.

 

If, having read and understood the above, you wish to join our ranks or are prepared to purchase our services, then welcome to the home of the Mercenary Guild.




For more info, visit our not-completely-uploaded-because-freewebs-sucks site at http://www.freewebs.com/mercenaryhaven
(most of the important stuff is there)

Also, please visit our forums at http://com2.runboard.com/bthemercenaryguild. I am much more often here than in I am in-game, so this would be the better way to get in touch with us.

We are looking for dedicated members at this time. We accept a diverse group, including close-ranged fighters, pole-arm specialists, marksmen and distanced offensive magic users, rouges/assassins, and healers/supportive magic users. We have a division for each, you can see more about this on the forums.

Most of our members signed up and then went inactive after about a week. We are looking specifically for members who will be active not because they are passing the time for CB, but because they enjoy the rp and PS community.

Hey, mind if I copy those last coupla paragraphs and use \'em for my recruitment? I think they are pretty much true for every guild. Anyway, nice site, and whoever wrote the recruitment message did a good job too.

oh, almost missed this thread....  
Jaxan, as you may or may not know, PS MB did not run \"setup\" on my comp, so i couldnt make it full screen... So i tried to mess with the programing, and screwd up the game... so i cant realy play till CB comes out... sory...



BTW, how do you copy and paste things onto your sig in photo shop... ive been meaning to change mine for a long time... but cant realy figure out how photoshop1.6 works... are there any tutorials on it or something??
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on February 17, 2004, 06:53:51 pm
Really I don\'t care if your that active in-game (for MB), but I want members that, like you, actively participate in discussions at the forums, submit artwork/stories/etc.

As for photoshop... I\'d recommed ctrl+v. I don\'t know anything aout it, I use Paintshop.

Post by: Icefalcon on February 20, 2004, 02:31:37 am
Alright im back, ive been a little inactive lately, but here I am again :D
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on February 20, 2004, 04:35:50 pm
Welcome back Icefalcon. I\'m going to wait a day or two before making you champion of the Griffon Division (our long-ranged division), just to see if there\'s anyone against it.

The Mercenary Guild needs healers and supportive magic users. Anyone who plans to specialize in the Crystal Way (or whatever healing/support way is) is welcome to join. At this time we have no members that would fit this description. If you join now, and work hard and show dedication and loyalty to the guild, you could easily become champion of the Pegasus Division.

Our four combat divisions are also looking rather empty. The advantages of joining us are great. Please visit our website and forums. Ask us questions. Roleplay with us on our forums.

Remember, the stronger the Mercenary Guild is, the stronger you all have the potential to be.

Post by: RussianVodka on February 20, 2004, 09:53:14 pm
Well, if i remember corectly, we did have a lot of members... its just that not many of them were active...
Title:
Post by: DepthBlade on February 20, 2004, 10:10:27 pm
Mmmm not stalwart type of people that is for sure. I\'d rather fight for glory,honor, respect and the protection of others rather then for my pocket, but hey thats just me :)
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on February 21, 2004, 12:44:36 am
yes, dont believe making money..... thats why you belong to a gambling guild!
Title:
Post by: DepthBlade on February 21, 2004, 12:58:44 am
I don\'t believe in fighting for money, being a middleman and letting other people gamble is nothing near to fighting! :) Nothing wrong with gambling either!
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on February 21, 2004, 02:32:11 am
Well, yes, gambling has nothing in common with fighting... unless of course your taking bets on a duel or a guild war or something...
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on February 21, 2004, 11:23:48 pm
Lol I like the legend rank :), you can put me in the pheonix division seeing as that is where my character fits best.

So how is the guild doing?
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on February 21, 2004, 11:33:16 pm
Hey Zeph, nice to see you again, check the guild forums... WE GOT OUR FIRST EMPLOYER!!!
Title:
Post by: Xanaroth on February 22, 2004, 01:25:40 pm
Xanaroth here, i\'m looking for a guild already. are the signups open? if they are i would like to join.
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on February 22, 2004, 01:32:37 pm

Title:
Post by: Xanaroth on February 22, 2004, 01:37:05 pm
and then? the forum keeps getting an error, and i already have read almost everything that has been uploaded.
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on February 22, 2004, 01:53:22 pm
i dont know then... if you wana join you can always email Jaxan...  callison3@adelphia.net

Uhhh... who?

Post by: Jaxan on February 23, 2004, 02:04:39 am
Hmm... since Yandaoben is a member of the guild, I don\'t think he quite qualifies as an employer. He was angry, but we must not be too quick to draw our weapons. We make no friends (just trusted employers), and no enemies.

Xanaroth, we except anyone who can fight or give aid in battle. I received your email, and will send you a welcome email. We hope that you prove to be a powerful asset to the guild.


btw everyone, the site is here http://www.freewebs.com/mercenaryhaven

Post by: RussianVodka on February 24, 2004, 12:23:27 am
OH, sory, i ddnt realize he was part of the guild when i was reading his post...

You show wisdom Jaxan. :tup:

btw, your site still isn\'t accessible. Timeout, opera 7.23
Title:
Post by: Xanaroth on February 24, 2004, 04:54:01 pm
mayb something is wrong then, cause i can simply open the link of the site.
Title:
Post by: Serphet on February 25, 2004, 01:10:42 am
well, figured i\'d check in, i dont talk much, but i\'m still here .
Title:
Post by: lynx_lupo on February 25, 2004, 09:09:18 am
same as before...i just get the top frame
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 01, 2004, 02:44:48 am
okay, pretty much the whole site (except for the divisions) is up on the webspace Fragnetics gave us at:
http://users.fragnetics.com/mercenary/index.htm
 :D

Xanaroth recieved a promotion for showing devotion and intelligence over the couple weeks that he\'s been with us. Keep up the good work. :) -champions, you can promote people in your division any time you want... well I guess I should\'ve let Icefalcon promote you :p oh well, next time

Xordan, nothing\'s official yet, we still need to decide a price.
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 06, 2004, 02:30:14 am
Jaxan you should send another Email to our innactive members telling them to at least pick the division they want to be in, we have like 6 or 7 members that aren\'t in a division yet...

...And the Mercenary Guild is still accepting new recruits, especially those in the healing field.
Title:
Post by: Waylander on March 06, 2004, 02:38:31 am
healing schmealing... I dont heal and I am the Best :P
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 06, 2004, 03:02:02 am
Cadoras you are one of our members that haven\'t chosen a division. From your profile, it looks like you will be in Empanado\'s Wraith Division.
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 06, 2004, 04:15:42 am
(evil laughter) so...more slaves---i mean, fellow stealthish...persons? Cadoras, first assignments: Brush my boots! Clean the floor! get me a soda with 3 drops of pisco! Pay my taxes! Call my mom! Dance three pieces of mambo with a broom as a couple and a pineapple over your head! Build a whole new mercenary headquarters fully made out of bananas!
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 06, 2004, 04:18:22 am
Just joking ;).
But i mean the banana headquarters thing. Really. Start working. :P
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 06, 2004, 05:18:07 am
Okie then:
Cadoras added to Wraith
hierarchy updated
Klyaska, I have no idea what\'s wrong with your\'s and Darkalfx\'s profiles. ?( gah

Update your links!
http://users.fragnetics.com/mercenary/index.htm
(just /mercenary doesn\'t work, don\'t ask me why, I suck at this website stuff)



We still need healers. Any clerics tired of wandering? Join The Mercenary Guild and share in our wealth and fortune.
Title:
Post by: Waylander on March 06, 2004, 10:45:34 pm
Nah I have no prob working under empano, Just as long as I dont have to call his mom :P
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 07, 2004, 07:58:35 pm
...though you should call him by his correct name, Empanado, If i was Empanado, I would require it :]
Title:
Post by: Waylander on March 07, 2004, 09:30:25 pm
Yeah sure IceFall maybe one day I will look further than the first few letters of everyones name...Of course I do know Zephyrus\' and Jaxan\'s names but, thats cause they are..well..important :P
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 07, 2004, 09:42:39 pm
Empanado has more authority over you than I do. :rolleyes:

*hands Empanado his taser*
You can deal with him this time.
Title:
Post by: Waylander on March 07, 2004, 11:06:21 pm
Oh, thx Jaxan nah I spealt it right resently in our forums..I am very proud
*takes out shotgun*
And drop the taser :P j/ks

Post by: Icefalcon on March 12, 2004, 10:49:25 pm
Here is some information on the five divisions of the Mercenary Guild, every member is part of one of these divisions, When you join, you chose which division you fit best in. Each Division has one champion who rules that division. I am champion of the Griffon Division, for anybody who cares :]


--The Phoenix division is our main assult force. Phoenix\'s specialize in close-quarters combat, such as swords, axes, war hammers, and staffs. Bodygaurds will probably be Phoenix, along with stronghold assult forces, and monster-slayers.

 
--The Cereberus division will be our secondary combat force. Cereberus uses mid range weapons such as spears and halberds. Heavy-armored Cerberus will form our main defensive line in battles. Light-armored Phoenix and Cerberus will act as our short to mid range scouts.

 
--The Griffon division will be our long-ranged combat force. Offensive spellcasters and marksmen both fall under the Griffon division. We will use the Griffion division for different tactics. Escort missions and most kinds of combative missions will have at least a few Griffons.

 
--The Wraith division will be our stealth division. We will want our Wraiths to be skilled in sneaking, sprinting, climbing, lock-picking, and ranged weapons. The Wraiths will be given spy/infiltration, assassination, theivery, and sabotage related missions.

 
--The Pegasus division will be our healers and supportive magic users. All parties will have at least one Pegasus with them. Pegasus will probably not given solo missions unless they are skilled in other fields. Of course, an employer may want to hire a healer or two, so you never know.
Title:
Post by: The Gumster on March 14, 2004, 02:42:13 pm
i might be interested in joining the pegasus division as a healer you know
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 14, 2004, 04:57:50 pm
Excellent then. Just mail to Jaxan your character info, the division you want to join (pegasus on this case), some info about yourself and, well, i guess that\'s pretty much about it.
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 15, 2004, 02:34:28 am
Okay Gumster, or whatever your ps name is, we look forward to hearing from you.

Cadoras has resigned.


The Mercenary Guild is the perfect place for the other healers. Can you practice the arts of restoration, but aren\'t the stereotypical pacificist? Contact us at our forums, or email any one of us. We\'ll be happy to answer any questions or comments that you have.
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 15, 2004, 03:08:20 am
So, Cadoras has left us...:D....uh, er, i mean, ;(...yes, that\'s it, ;(...

You removed me from the phoenix division? Awww, but i wanted to smash things....:( Oh well.



...No one\'s looking?
:D:D:D
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on March 15, 2004, 03:17:06 am
Nice to meet you Gumster!!
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 15, 2004, 03:26:56 am
Haha Empanado, LOL... Bye Cadoras :D  :D  :D

Anyway, welcome in advance Gumster, whats is your real PS name?
Title:
Post by: The Gumster on March 15, 2004, 11:03:43 pm
my ingame name is Gumster, Jaxan what is your e-mail address? so i can send the info et cetera
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 17, 2004, 12:00:17 am
callison3@adelphia.net

Usually it works the other way around, but whatever, I\'m flexable.  :)

You can still smash things Empanado, but I think we\'ll keep it to one division for each person.
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 17, 2004, 12:05:06 am
O_o... Ok then, i think i\'ll start with this burrito. *smashy smashy*

Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on March 19, 2004, 10:11:27 am
You are probably looking at the wrong adress of the 3 we have had. we are currently at;

http://users.fragnetics.com/mercenary/ (http://users.fragnetics.com/mercenary/)

Edit: Also you need to choose which division you want to be in, you can read more about that on our forums. (http://com2.runboard.com/bthemercenaryguild)
Title:
Post by: Azlon on March 19, 2004, 04:14:49 pm
Why o why did I have to go idle. Well im off to go pick a division and do my stuff. :]
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 19, 2004, 11:06:15 pm
Ya dude, we missed you (at least I did), you missed a ton of stuff...
Title:
Post by: Azlon on March 19, 2004, 11:14:08 pm
awwwww. I feel loved. But like what  kinda of stuff did I miss? I know I missed the divisions and stuff, but I already choose one so its cool. And something with the webhost is going on. But you know if you need some space I could tear down my old website and put The guilds there. Its got forums and everything. And it its running on a cable server. Oh well gtg. Ill be back in a lil while.  :P
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 20, 2004, 12:30:35 am
Um Jaxan is our new leader, I think you knew that... CV hired us for a war with the Cabal, but that is over with now, we got new webhosting from fragnetics :D  (awesome) um, a new member, and one lost member...anything else?
Title:
Post by: Azlon on March 20, 2004, 03:40:05 am

Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 20, 2004, 02:56:04 pm
Good to have you back Azlon. :) You didn\'t miss anything too important.

Icefalcon, you\'ve got that a bit backwards. ;)
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 20, 2004, 03:45:44 pm
I dont think so...got what backwards?
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 20, 2004, 04:18:11 pm
Yeh, the Cabal hired us, not the elves...
Title:
Post by: Azlon on March 20, 2004, 04:26:14 pm
ummmmm. How can they hire us? Theres no pking, or combat.
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 20, 2004, 07:27:32 pm
Let\'s not get into this again. They never actually hired us. They would\'ve hire us in CB, if a war was to occur...
bleh let\'s not go there
Title:
Post by: Azlon on March 21, 2004, 06:14:24 am
Sorry. Didnt know. But wait. CB hasnt came out. So they didnt hire us? meh ill leave it alone. ?(
Title:
Post by: ForteX on March 21, 2004, 05:08:35 pm
o.O\"

Anyway, I was looking forward to join your guild. I\'ll have some magic knowledge, in healing and maybe some offensive kind. I\'m not sure if I make a Monk or a ranger like character. I intend to craft too, smithing is always good hahaha.... *cof cof*..
Allright... Well, that is it.


[EDIT]
I can help with the site too, I have some ideas hehe ^^
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 21, 2004, 05:22:53 pm
Alright then, just mail your stuff to Jaxan and that\'s pretty much it.
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on March 21, 2004, 05:48:22 pm
Yep, nice to meet ya...
Title:
Post by: ForteX on March 21, 2004, 07:42:09 pm
Ok, I emailed now it is a matter of time...
By the way, I\'m gonna be a ranger/healer, and if anyone needs support, just ask...

Laterz..
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on March 21, 2004, 11:17:09 pm
Good to have you on board ForteX. Our second South American member.  :)

Which is a good point... where is everyone from, i know like 8 of you are from the states. Am I the only Englishman? (darkwebz is and englishWOman :P)
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on March 22, 2004, 12:04:43 am
Where has Darkwebz gone to???
Title:
Post by: ForteX on March 22, 2004, 01:07:51 am
Hmmm... who is the other one from south america?

Another thing, I\'m the BlindShooter on the Mercenary page forums ^^\"

I\'m honored to join the guild =)
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 22, 2004, 02:14:58 am
Alright that one would be me. We\'ll turn these capitalist dogs into our slaves....MWAHAHAHA!!

Uh...yeah, whatever. *poing*
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on March 22, 2004, 02:51:49 am

Title:
Post by: Azlon on March 22, 2004, 01:00:08 pm
:O Hmmm. When the hell is CB coming out. Im about to get crazy up in here. :P
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on March 22, 2004, 09:44:06 pm
I think... just maybe... judging by some of your posts in our own forums; you may already be crazy azlon...  :P
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 22, 2004, 11:15:00 pm
Hmm I don\'t appear to have gotten your email... We\'ll officially make you a member when I get the emaill.

Anyway, welcome. :) There\'s nothing wrong with being a jack-of-all-trades.
Title:
Post by: ForteX on March 23, 2004, 01:37:21 am
Strange, anyway, I sent another e-mail to you, this time by the PS board ^^\"
Sorry to ask but is it possible to change my Merc board nick to Bloodluth instead of BlindShooter? Thanks a lot ^^.
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 23, 2004, 07:31:49 pm
Well, just create another bloody account!
Title:
Post by: ForteX on March 23, 2004, 07:47:47 pm
Yeah, I might just do that, but I want to know if it was possible to change... oh well...
nevermind...
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 23, 2004, 08:55:58 pm
There you go. Heh.
Title:
Post by: Empanado on March 23, 2004, 08:58:23 pm
So Jaxan, you didn\'t got their e-mails or you\'re just being lazy? :P:P
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on March 23, 2004, 08:59:34 pm
I don\'t think so. Even if our forums weren\'t crap, in general, people changing names a lot would cause bunches of confusion.

Anyway, I got your email this time. :) I\'ll put you on the site when I get back later tonight. I can\'t remember if I put Gumster up yet either... well if I didn\'t I will.
Title:
Post by: ForteX on March 23, 2004, 09:53:37 pm
I see, thanks Jaxan =D
I created my other forum nick =P
I\'m looking forward for the guild wars hehe ^^
Also, I would like to congratulate all the guild members for the detailed background, adds a lot to the character ^_^
It is interesting to read and is a great RP factor, well, good luck to all of us! =P

*bump* (So we use this threat instead of the old one).
I liked the flag, I feel something is missing thought... I don\'t know what... just got the feel...
Title:
Post by: Zephyrus on April 02, 2004, 10:43:38 pm
Thanks for the constructive criticism... oh wait...  :rolleyes: Well if you get any idea what the feeling is, tell me
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on April 03, 2004, 04:42:43 am
Okay, we have new forums thanks to Icefalcon. They\'re much better than the old ones.

We\'ve got another RP thread going there too, freelance adventurers are welcome to join.
Title:
Post by: Jaxan on April 03, 2004, 05:04:25 am
I did manage to find out what\'s missing from the flag. Here\'s a sketch:

Post by: Icefalcon on April 03, 2004, 05:15:26 am
LOL! Hah thats awesome! :D  :D
Title:
Post by: RussianVodka on April 03, 2004, 06:48:59 am
WOW!!!! That flag would stur up Conflict... and help us get profit!!!!

Anyways, Zephs logo is awsome! It should definately go on the main page instead of that swordsman!
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on April 03, 2004, 04:15:21 pm
Ya we should replace that, it would be alot better if it were in color but...
Title:
Post by: Icefalcon on April 05, 2004, 03:27:31 am

Cool a healer, we have a deficit at the moment. Sure, just post on our forums and Jaxan will probably send you a welcome email - meet you ingame. Then you will be an apprentice. Time will tell if you are loyal/active enough to become a fully fledged member.

Profit from conflict,
Gold from strife.
There is a price,
On every life.

There is no truth, no meaning. There is no such thing as honour or justice, there is no absoute power. Politics means nothing, good and evil are just abstractions; lies fed to us by our ancestors. Break the cycle, embrace life, find your fortune. We are not heartless, only nihilistic. We believe in comradeship. It is this brotherhood that gives us strength, unites us. Join us as a brother in arms, experience the soldiering life. Feel true strength.

This will sound off-topic but...

I was going to make a post of funny approaches to get some active members, to cheer up a little bit, but I just argued with my father and after all he said and did I\'m really unable to think, I can\'t really say what I\'m feeling because I really can\'t describe that well. After you are said that you are nothing but crap, you are threatened to get beat (and your mother also), that you deserve no respect and that if you want to give your opinion you have to leave the house and get a job (I\'m 16 btw)... way too much agression... too much violence....


Now related to Planeshift -> Guild related:

The melting logo should be applied, it is very nice indeed, and brings what the guild really does: Profit from conflict, the more wars, the better for us. About getting new active members, I believe that many people will try to join all the guilds avaible when CB gets realeased, because some people just check the main page and say \"Not released yet... lets wait a little more\" and ignores the forum. Perhaps the guilds will even suffer from overcrowding...

Sorry to make the post sound as spam, that was not my intention, really sorry (specially to give the devs unecessary work), I\'ll try to keep ontopic as much as I can, sorry about this rant above, could not keep it inside, sorry.

No problem, I\'m glad you did. I like complaining.

Just to stay on topic, for those that do read the forum, the Mercenary Guild is a great guild for anybody who wants to see some combat. Join up.

Hear hear.
And if you like poking enemies to death, join the guild\'s Cerebrus division.  We\'re rather shorthanded.
(read: empty.  Am I the only person who plans to use spears?!)

The cereberus division isnt just spears its more like this: pheonix division = fast offensive assualt division (read:smashy smashy). Cereberus = tactical/defence division, especially fond of spears, formations, tower shields, and maybe heavy armour... To be honest i was quite suprised you chose the cereberus division Keung, I thought you would be better suited for the wraith division. Maybe Kylaska in the Cereberus - big, tactical, heavy armour.

To be fair though no of the divisions have been that well explained yet, I would but its kinda a hectic time being as it is the end of my last year before uni - revision, coursework, sigh...

Yeah, if you are gonna write a big description for each on the divisions, we need to fix those \"holes\" in the site about the divisions...theres also the thing about each division\'s image thingy...we never really decided on a full set. I could probably make some new ones with photoshop some time. I have some really good ideas for the division section on the site :D I just need the info to put on it...

Post by: Zephyrus on April 20, 2004, 10:11:19 am
Alright, i will do (write descriptions tonight). I did make a full set of logos, i am not sure if any of them are worth keeping. Anyway, sure make some yourself, just please - not too over the top  :)

I\'m planning to use medium armor rather than heavy, but I\'m all about formations.  Assuming we can get people to follow them, that is.  The few times I\'ve actually seen ORGANIZED team combat in online gaming, it\'s a thing of beauty.  You\'d be surprised what a couple of determined players can do against a team of enemies.  My finest moment was when myself and one other soldier defended the Bridge Crossing level in America\'s Army against a team of six men.  

Our casualties: 0
Theirs: 100%

:D

Damn you, third world computer! Damn you i say!
Oh well. Yup, Keung, that\'s the point of tactics! Maybe if that \"America\'s Army\" game of you had the chilean military or something like that, i would play it :P. Or guerrillas. I\'m all for guerrillas.

I really hope we will be able to do this in CB, with the Guild wars and all :D  Aarg, now Im all excited again...don\'t do that to me!

It does have guerrillas, but you have to complete SF training.  Then you can play as the \"indiginous forces\" on the SF maps.

Although in a move towards political correctness, your team is always seen as the US and it\'s allies, and the enemies are always seen as OpFor.  To them, they look US and your guys look like OpFor (Opposing Force).

Seriously, if you\'re reading this and aren\'t affiliated with a guild, you should look into being one of us.  Unless the mercenary thing completely doesn\'t appeal to you.  

But we\'re a fun guild, well-organized, and we\'ve managed to stay up and running despite CBs endless delays.  

Oh, and whether you join or not, you must read Empanado\'s random cartoon, \"Pepe Sin Zapato\"
It\'s pure genius. http://icefalcon.proboards27.com/index.cgi?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1081452488

Over the last few weeks, the Mercenary Guild Site has been going under some major graphical improvements. I add new stuff almost every night and I will probably end up redoing all the pages. Also, Zephyrus has left us due to a mental disorder...no idea what it is but, he\'s gone crazy...

Mercenary Guild (http://users.fragnetics.com/mercenary/index.htm) is still accepting new appentices. If you prove yourself worthy, you will be promoted to an actual member status. If you are thinking about being a healer, the position of Pegasus Division Champion, which is one of the five ruling Champions of the Guild, is up for grabs. I dont think it will take much to get up to that high rank right now...*hint* ;)

Well darn it, Icefalcon\'s left us for an indefinite period of time due to personal issues. That\'s some bad news.:(
