Title: my guild, the Living Shadows
Post by: Triligan on March 30, 2004, 06:33:29 pm
My guild website is located here http://www.freewebs.com/livingshadowsguild/


We are an equal oppurtunity non-aligned guild which is ruled by it\'s ruling member and high council. Our goals shift with the decisions of the council and ruler. If we have under 4 council members then we are temporarily a monarchy. By saying our branches are armies does not mean we are a warrior\'s guild but that we organize our guild into groups of people who do a simalar job, for example we may have an \"army\" of merchants, cooks, etc.

hmm... what about general goals? \"get a functioning Shadowcouncil\" won\'t get you many members...
People need a reason to join in the first place.
As always, good luck.

the problem though is if the shadowcouncil and shadowmaster vote together to decide the goals and there is no shadowcouncil then there is a problem. True, we are a monarchy with under 4 council members but i\'m a bit... undecisive sometimes and don\'t want to risk a non-aligned guild looking evil because of one stupid mistake... it\'s a diplomatic decision. (edit: would changing it to \"gain power\" help, do you think?)

Well you need the goal that will unite all members and will make it something more than mindless zombies following the decisions of council.
To gain power... hmm... not oryginal and makes you look a bit evil
How about to gain land and a bit of power, by using neutral (diplomatic, merchant) ways along with military movements if needed?
*shrugs* just an idea

by power i meant manpower as in more people but unspecified because if left unspecified it will attract power hungry individuals as opposed to the few if any members at all it is currently attracting...

Do you get to do anything evil, though? The name implies something dark and ominous... but hey... I\'m a morbid guy, so...

When Draklar is talking about your goal, he means, what is your purpose? Is it to help the poor? To ignore the world? To see how many monsters you can kill? Or it could simply be to live peacfully trying to get by. Or defend your realm from evil. These are things that can\'t really be accomplished, they are just your purpose for living. You have on your page...Goals: To \"gain recognition in the world of Planeshift for us and our members\", to \"help our members do their best in the Planeshift proffesion of their choosing,\" to \"get a functioning Shadowcouncil\", and to \"Recruit more members\" What will happen when you do these things? You would have no purpose for going on...

I\'m not trying to be mean here, just trying to help you understand. Dont get mad at me ;)  and Good Luck

Your pupose could be as simple as us mercenaries\'; profit. You could be trying to serve some god, divine or demonic. You could be trying to explore the world. You could be aiming to rule the world, or even defend it. You could even have some crazy goal like trying to become an imortal god yourself whom all worship. You could be trying to find some ancient artifact lost through the ages. You could be trying to help the poor and needy, Robin Hood style. Or you could just try and subjugate the poor and needy, sheriff of notingham style. You could try and protect mother nature, become the greenpeace of planeshift.

There is an infinite number of possible goals, the more original you are, the more people are going to respect you.

Your goal could ba as simple as thriving. The Circle of Legends, from the begining, had the goal of being the leading hand in PS prosperity through friendship and trust, and to thrive in its world. Not too complex, but still enough to be a constant goal. Being friends or thriving could mean different things at different times.

you could be allied with cabal but * dodges some eggs * its a risky job and if you dont comply we will most likely put spies in your guild suck all information and then destroy it or just put spys in it and suck out all information

so rember kids Lika the borgs ( ya know thoese Startrack cyborg thingys) always say: reistance is furtile !!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

The council helps decide the goals, I need atleast 1 more councilmember, preferably evil because I need balance in the council, and the current 3 members are good/neutral

I don\'t care if no one joins right now, I don\'[t care If I\'m the only active member I WILL NOT let this guild die, so if anyone\'s looking for a guild that refuses to die...

also, sorry for the double post no one responded and the thread wouldn\'t be moved up if i only changed my previous post and I didn\'t want to make a new thread because, that would be a waste of space, I mean if any thread i make gets ignored it should be one that already is, right? Also, the reason I didn\'t get to update sooner was that the computer I was using couldn\'t post here, i needed to use someone elses computer...

Hmmm, normally a Cabal apprentice wouldn\'t say this but good luck with your guild.

What you need is a kinky aim...Something special. Ok, how about: You are the people that live in the shadows, quietly observing the world and recording what you see. You live in an abandoned building (Location Unknown), which looks run-down from outside, but inside is a thriving library, constantly growing with the events of Yliakum. You send your members everywhere in Yliakum to observe the People and the Guilds.

Your role is as watchers, so you remain unaligned. The first law your members must follow is never to interfere. In fact, if you are discovered things can get messy. You can try to escape but an angry guild leader might not want his secrets in your library...

Something like that anyway ^^

I don\'t know for sure whether he\'s viewing the forumks as a guest(I think he might be) but in case he isn\'t I\'ll email him suggestions posted here.

If you give Kuiper five rubies he\'ll give you a goal.
Hell, if you give him ten he\'ll give you a whole guild that comes pre-packaged with respect from the community.
I think he churns a new idea out about every 17 minutes at this point...

I come up with ideas constantly and always twist them for profit or entertainment, rather than selling them or putting them to good use. I\'m too attached to my degraded mind and it\'s unstable thoughts.
