Ok time for a new thread! So far we are doing pretty good now with 6 members most of which are dedicated the others who are not will be once the next release comes, whenever that happens lol! When I first started the guild the process in joining wasn\'t exactly as organized and strict as shown here but now that I have a good number of people, the process stated will be used precisely now!
(http://www.freewebs.com/xperto/OfficialXperto.JPG)
Press here to
enter the Xperto (http://www.freewebs.com/xperto/)
Here is the basic information, most of which you can read at the site!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We the Xperto are a community of skilled fighters and friends, we will stand up and protect the good from evil when it becomes necessary. Although we fight for the better of the people of PlaneShift, it doesn\'t mean we will always align with the good guilds.
Xperto doesn\'t believe in a God! We only believe in living by the power held within our bloodstream...
-DepthBlade
We will not swear loyality to any God, only to our guild! The Leader is the closet thing we have to a God, religion is the cause of war and despair! Xperto respects the beliefs of others but will not be pressured into believing in what you think is the right belief!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Levels of Hierarchy
Leader ? Has divine right of power over everyone in the guild. The Leader will always have the final word in any action taken by Xperto.
Vice Leader ? Is second in command of Xperto. This person can and will take temporary control over Xperto in the long-term absence of the Leader. The Vice Leader will be a trusted companion of the Leader of Xperto and will be looked to for advice.
Ire - High protectors of the Leader. They not only defend the Leader but they are responsible for any current news involving attacks on the guild. In any major battle these warriors will be the last line of defense between the Leader and the enemy.
Raven- Are skilled fighters, they are the most respected warriors of the Xperto. In battle these men or women will help command the lower classes. To become a Raven you must prove yourself to be an extremely valuable asset in battle.
Exon- A Exon is a economist of Xperto, they do not necessarily have to fight in any battles but would be expected to gather and collect in anyway possible for the guild. They will aid Xperto with equipment, food and currency. Only the Leader and Vice. Leader can give orders to a Exon, but a Exon can give orders to nobody!
Sacker ? Information Classified!
1st Class Solider ? A well trained fighter, with exceptional skill in battle. Have superiority over 2nd Class Soliders and the Kamikazes.
2nd Class Solider ? Once probation is done you will be promoted to this rank. These men or women have yet to have proven themselves to the greater extent. They have no power over anyone in the guild! In any great battle the 2nd Class Solider will be expected to take the frontline with the Kamikazes.
Kamikaze ? Is a probationary rank in which to be promoted you will need to be active with Xperto for 2 weeks and in that time show your loyality and worth to the guild. In any battle these people will take the frontline with no arguments, they will not question their orders what so ever!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is laws as well and soon to come archives on how Xperto was created throught time. The site is pretty much done including forum and a system to be recruited! I\'ll paste it here for people who are to lazy to go :D
Ok if you would like to apply to be in this guild, this is what you have to do...
* First read over all the information on the website, that means everything don\'t just skim it. Make sure you read and understand the \"Levels of Hierarchy\", \"Laws\", \"Belief\", EVERYTHING!
* Second of all you should evaluate yourself, what I mean by this is will you be able to live up to the expectations of Xperto. Is Xperto the right guild for you? If you still want to join after you have evaluated yourself keep reading.
* Lastly you need to be registered on our forum, and next you will create a thread in this section of the boards. You will put something like; \"Looking to Join\", \"My Application\" etc... Just make sure it is titled correctly so I know that you are a applicant. In your thread you MUST include the following...
- Your characters race, age, and skills.
- A short paragrah introducing your character and his life.
- Why you think I should allow you to join Xperto.
- What your goals will be if you are allowed to join. (Example: What rank you want to go for?)
- Have you been involved in any other guild? If so what guild(s) and what was your involvement in it.
- Why you want to join Xperto?
- Finally how did you find out about Xperto?
After completing this set of requests, I will respond to your thread letting you know I have read it. Then all you have to do is wait for my decision, it could be immediately made or take a day or two. BE PATIENT!
-DepthBlade (Leader of Xperto)
-
Well its good to see you still up and running, and improving. I like your members page with the pic and quote. 8) Good luck with your guild
-
Yep still running like I said on the old thread, I am in for the long haul! Thank you, I am waiting for one of my members to get back from a little break of some sort to start up our dream weaver or whatever its called site :P
-
A Chaotic Good guild... Good luck
-
Not bad. Almost as organized as my guild. Though, what am I to say?
-
Ha they actually have a website, all you have is forums. Not trying to be rude or anything, but a forums with no info on the guild except in posts, in my opinion, isnt very organized.
-
heh :D Chaotic I\'ll take that as a compliment! Yes I finally got a hold of Meolae and she has been working on the template and stuff for the new site, just waiting for some responses from webhosts! Also a new member just now Valthor who will start as our probationary rank Kamikaze! GOOD LUCK!
EDIT: Here is the latest News and Update on our website at the moment...I figured it would like to be known to the public who my Vice Leader is!
April 2nd, 2004 (12:01am) A day to be remebered
Greetings fellow members and friends,
I DepthBlade Leader of Xperto would like to hereby announce that Meolae is now our Vice Leader, she has proven herself more then worthy of such a position! She will make a great asset to the leadership of our guild! She has the power to recruit and remove now, and unless the situation is very sticky I will not question her decisions! Meolae is also working on our new website which I got a first hand look at...I must say it is beautiful, keep up the good work!

lol, the poor fellows. just a little advice for them:
when the enemy is to strong you do not need to be fast when you flee, you just have to be a bit faster then the person behind you:D
good luck with the recruiting deptblade.
-
Yes Xanaroth, give them some good advices they\'ll need it.;)
Well Xanaroth, some have no love for their life ^^.

You could say: Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war. :P
Xperto - hail, hail, lo and behold, and all that RPG greetings stuff. You have some interesting ideas and perspectives - a welcome addition.

From the heavens came a strange people with metal skin and luminous eyes. They descended on Yliakum in a ponderous ship of steel and fire. Their arrival sent a shock wave of fear throughout the town. :emerald: An Enki in heavy chains emerged from the ship followed by two soldiers; a more elegantly appointed one followed behind them. She levitated above the guards and prisoner to address the crowd: \"He is a convicted criminal. My government has sentenced him to one-hundred years of internment on your world. We will monitor him from time to time. If he causes you any trouble, kill him.\" :emerald: The officer motioned to her guards and the three strangers withdrew to the fireship. The hellish craft shot into the sky leaving only fear and the prisoner Maaximus behind.
-
Oh that explains some stuff about you Maaximus ^^
-
Thanks for the advice, but it won\'t be needed :D When people join the guild I make them understand that number one priority is to protect the leader which is me and the vice leader which is meolae and if we ever get a guild castle or house it will be that and us...By joining the Xperto they have accepted those laws...but it does get a little more complicated then that :D @Running from battle can very much be a strategy that could lead the chasing enemy into a ambush, so don\'t label the action as being cowardly! Xperto is a strategy guild, so be prepared for it!!
Oh here is a sneak peak at out new website, it won\'t be the front page we have our logo and stuff in flash animation up front probally, this is just a example page meolae gave to me :)
Click here for sneak peak (http://freewebs.com/ex-ample/main.htm)
-
Wow that new site looks great :]
-
Yep like I said beautiful :) Glad to have someone with skills like that in the guild!
-
edit: nevermind, yea, website looks quite nice :)
-
FRAILITY! Thy Name is Woman!
I do feel sorry for the new recruits! lol... these guys abviously need to have mainly fighters..
lil advice... WHen you have newbs you dont want to kill them by sticking them on the frontlie specialy if you command everybody to be together when leveling.. thats what TANKING is for... your best bet is to stick a high power with a low power so they both can LIVE!! and not die everytime the guild goes exp searching... then what about those who are gonna go with a Profession instead of a sword? what if for instance someone prefe4rs making Potions then using their magick.... what if they want to have a high job level instead of combat level? speaking from experience i have a couple characters that have low magick and high job(another game) and i supply my guild with Potions and occasionally go for leveling by killing wioth my magick... Again i recomend a coe member for your low levels.. specialy if you recruit level ones... you dont want to kill them.. give them a \'Big Brother\' some one that can help them level...

Hamlet :P
You speak without completely understanding our motives, only in the case of a MAJOR battle like we are talking the kind of battle we have no choice but to fight in that is when they would take the frontline! I don\'t need your advice, it has all been thought out and finalized, its not like we will be having major battles every second. Training our men and women is also a big priority!
EDIT: If you read in our levels of hierarchy there is a rank where you don\'t have to fight...
Exon- A Exon is a economist of Xperto, they do not necessarily have to fight in any battles but would be expected to gather and collect in anyway possible for the guild. They will aid Xperto with equipment, food and currency. Only the Leader and Vice. Leader can give orders to a Exon, but a Exon can give orders to nobody!
-
((Im studing Hamlet in my Shakespeare Class...That one is one that i like :P ))
Good.... nicely done... there is order.. seems im a step behind you...Or atleast my Laziness of reading is cause...

No harm done :) Right now I am actually working on some military strategies, first in words then with paint! Its almost like football but without the flashie uniforms and cheerleaders!
-
(http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/ab7/johnny009/CoatofArms.JPG)
I have just finished the official Xperto Coat of Arms! As you can see it has 3 iron crosses symbolizing the 3 Ires of the destroyed south outskirt village! The two warriors on the bottom symbolize our army and the sword is our strength in which we behold! Finally the light beige color backround represents Xperto\'s allignment as a good guild fighting off the evil!
-
As soon as I see the iron cross I think \"Nazi\". You should use another kind of cross.
You folks have such a bold, modern design for your new website. I dunno, does that medieval motif fit?
-
Don\'t worry it will be updated in the future graphically, no the iron cross isn\'t meant to be a nazi thing, it also stands for X in a certain text :) We are some what modern and futuristic but we need to make sure our history is preserved!
-
Who says you can\'t mix midieval graphics with futuristic ones? ;) It can be done tastefully. We\'ll be working on it.
(About time I start posting here.)
Thanks for everyone\'s lovely comments about the site :D I\'m aiming for the final product to be rather... well. Amazing ;)
-
After reading up on the thread about the guild that disbanded because of spies I have decided it would be better to go invite only for the time being, to prevent any harm done to the guild. The same process will be used to recruit, but we will look for you! If you want to join real bad just show up on the forums talk to us, come in game talk to us, communicating is everything! It doesn\'t mean we will let you join, but you will have a better chance in joining :)!

I don\'t see why you are too worried about spies now....
There isn\'t too much information for spies to achieve, but there is some good information that can be taken.
Also, you should have been invite-only from the start if you are afraid of spies. They have been around way longer than you and even some before me.
Just a little note. ;)
Btw, the new site is looking great. Keep up the pace and this guild might see the starts someday. Some time, patience, and the right members could explode this guild into power, or those aforementioned things could ruin you. Just be aware(as I am sure you are) and you should be ok.
(Just a tad bit of advice from a sorta-experienced person in guild matters) :)
-
The thing is Faldrok, I pretty much was invite only. I went around asking people if they were interested in joining there might be one member or maybe two that applied, but they are friends with my friends so I can trust them.
Thanks for compliment on that, really it should go to Meolae if you are talking about the new site :D She is mostly responsible for that..
Don\'t worry my guild will go far and won\'t be short on members once the battle system release is put out, have lots of friends who are joining up once that is initiated! The majority of them are promising because they live for video games , not just gun games but swords and magic etc...
-
but they are friends with my friends so I can trust them.
see what happened to SH...
Anyway, beautiful site with a good idea. It\'s good you seem to know what you want with your clan Depthblade. Maybe Ill see you ingame when hunting some cabals... :)
-
Yah sounds good :D
(All highly valuable information is stored away and is only accessable by myself or Meolae, if my guild needs to know this information they will find out by myself when the time is right for them to know it. A example of this would be the \"Sacker\" rank in my guild, they aren\'t spies or alt accounts thats all I can say about that :D
I won\'t worry to much now about spies like I said friends of friends will only be aloud to join my guild but before they are accepted I want to know them over a long period of time! A majority of Xperto will be made up of real life friends in the future)
-
Oh, i get the idea! It\'s like, the U.S. army, but helping people!
A bit too late to say it, but good luck with the guild. Actually you\'re likely to break the mercenary monopoly of offering military services to the good guilds, but hey, we still have the bad guys. :)
-
lol yes nice reference to the U.S Army, I\'d rather live in a world where the only army was a Canadian type of Army because then the world would be a somewhat safer place (Canadian army is practically unarmed, we were slowly downgrading already removed nuclear weapons etc.. from our army, but now it seems the new primeminister is apparently putting a few billion into upgrading and I noticed the recruitment is also being stepped up a knotch!)
I don\'t want to take your buisness away :) My guild won\'t just be constantly kill the evil, kill the evil type of guild! I am sure we will have many long periods of peace hopefully!
-
How is that new website comming along?
-
Tell you the truth I couldn\'t tell you how it is going at the moment, my vice leader Meolae has some family problems she is settling and I told her to do that before this guild :) But knowing her she is probally still working on the new site, trying to fix up the loose ends! As for my portion I hired a guy from school to draw a picture of each rank in my guild what the character would look like (we probally wont look like this ingame lol but its just fancy to have an idea to what we would look like!) Anyways he is hand sketching each with pencil, showing me then if I ok the picture he will ink it and scan them and ofcourse send them to me so I can edit them! I saw the picture of the Rank Ire, oooh it was beautiful tower shield with a one hand pike in the other (defensive rank) so it is exactly what I wanted :)
-
Heh, sound pretty cool, each of the members of our guild gets his own character portrait drawn by one of our artists :D We have some stuff to do on our site too... :( More images...gwah
-
I like building stuff like sites, even though this new one isn\'t being built by myself personally! I stiill enjoy watching the progress and helping out in anyway possible, hopefully we can get some phpbb forums to :D
OT: Hey lol icefalcon your beating me by one now argh
EDIT: Nevermind looks as though I somehow tied you!
-
Yea, those look like some pretty good forums, If you dont have forums, I suggest you get some asap. It keeps the guild together in these early stages of the game, the easiest way of communicating since MB gets boring...
OT: Oh so we\'re competing now? Hmm :D
-
Oh I have forums just haven\'t been added to the new site, then again the new site isn\'t in use yet still under construction :D
OT: Bring it :D
-
Ok here is a picture of myself made by the guy i hired to do all my ranking pictures etc.. Meolae I think yours is next!
(http://www.angelfire.lycos.com/ab7/johnny009/Xperto__1.JPG)
-
Quality work. Who is this guy\'s name, pray tell?
-
Kelly Bourjadullen he goes to school with me and is in a few of my classes :) (The last name is right upto the J i think lol) He is drawing me about 8 more ive seen meolae\'s, ires and raven
-
Donno if I said this or not.. but good luck with the guild and the site :) . Only one thing about the site, put some more picture\'s on it, it would make it more appealing to the eye 8) .
-
Is that pic supposed to have a very faint picture in the background? It is pretty cool though :D
-

On the new site once Meolae gets back there will be plenty of pictures :) Thank you for that, we will try our best!
@IceFalcon- No it wasn\'t suppose to but it does lol, that picture in the backround is of a orc called gronk. I think its one of his characters for his D&D. I have to edit that out and clean it up a bit I suppose :)
-
Heh ya, you should photoshopize it (color)...it would look even better :D
-
nice guild with nice leader ^^
hmm... why does my sic-pic not work :(
-
you have to do it with image brackets not url ones :)
EDIT: There ya go, nice signature! Oh I should take this moment to officially welcome Gremli to Xperto. He is a support character (BlackSmith) But has decided to take part in battles :)
-
yep.. thx :D
-
A dwarf in Xperto? Seems you got tired of Ynnwns ^^ :P.
-
lol never intended for ynwnns to be the only race, it just seems those are the ones attracted lol :] We got a female and male Enduiki and now a dwarf h00ray
-
I knew about the female enkidukai.
I know, no one wants it\'s guild to be all composed by ynnws they eat alot and are too big :P.
So Lythia is a male Enkidukai and Valthor is a Ynnwn? or is it the other way around ^^?
-
Oops my bad Valthor is a Ylian and yes Lythia is a male Enkidukai!
-
Mmmk I finished some new graphics for the site just a few and updated members/relationships :D
First here is the archive one
(http://www.freewebs.com/xperto/archive.jpg)
One I made to advertise PlaneShift
(http://www.freewebs.com/xperto/community.JPG)
and one for the news and updates
(http://www.freewebs.com/xperto/NUmain.jpg)
I need to think one up for the ranking page, also the guy drawing all those rank pictures is almost done h00ray :]
-
They\'re all nice, but I had to quote you to view the first and third ones.
Try capitalizing the .JPG extension like the middle one.
-
yeah, even with just those three new images, your current site looks much better...whens that new site gonna be ready? lol
O.T. Hmm, It seems our little competition has become one-sided :D
-
Yah I don\'t know about the newsite yet Meolae said she got word from the hosts or whatever so we shall wait...In the meantime i figured to beef up the current site a little now I have to make one for Lemon Empire :D
OT: Yah both of us are beat because that atharion guy has like 26
-
I thought about it alot as of late...Xperto will not disband but will go into hibernation until the release is put out! This will give me a break from working on it for awhile, and I will admit 3/4 of my members just aren\'t up and at it because talking 24/7 does get boring...This isn\'t the end just a break, the new site will still be constructed and forums etc active...I will still be on forum and in-game like usual but Xperto will be unmaintained in the member aspect until the CB. Once CB is put out we will come back! If my members leave which I am sure some will, no hard feelings go :) We will reconstruct when things get going, right now there is to much ruckus going on in PS and in my life!
-
You mean in-game right? Ah, well hardly any guild is active in-game anyway...it really does get boring I know :(
-
Does that mean that Xperto is not, in fact, recruiting? Misinforming the public, are you?
-
we are recruiting still well I am :) But its real recruiting I come recruit you, instead of people coming to me!
-
Its hard to find good members ..especially when you deal with thief guild ..I go into PS and watch out for thiefy chars. ..sometimes they need training and little \"opening\" in a real thief life...But some are totally informed and acting like real thieves ..now If you find something like that and recruit ..
JackPot
-
Yah..very hard to find dedicated people at the moment...
-
Yes, real hard. I have gone thru that once ;).
But once you find some one it\'s usually very rewarding :).
-
Indeed it is I found a few that are dedicated but its hard to find those players that will go hard with the game on-forum in-game and what not!
