Yes, a questwipe would be a good thought. Having several that appear unfinishable at this time, and also not beeing able to throw them out is... unpleasant

Guilds Forum / Re: [GUILD] Helping Hands (resurrection)
« on: February 16, 2008, 08:35:27 am »
Ssar,
Apparantly I'm not allowed to send personal messages here at this time. So I use a tidbit of
room here to sincerely apologise for making this topic without inquiring with you first. I'm afraid it might be related to my helpful nature, and my misconception that you had simply overlooked the forums.
Yesterday Yliakum was entirely taken by the black void, and I thought it a good idea to delve deeper into the info on the forums. When I noticed then that the Helping Hands was nowhere to be found...
That's more or less how it went down.
I'll make myself known in the guild window in PS.

« on: February 15, 2008, 07:13:10 pm »Yet another newbie helping guild, you'll have to excuse me if I don't get blown away with the originality of this idea.Though I myself am indeed a newbie. (I think... Is one a newbie after some half a year? Not sure
)However; the founder of the Guild has been (though absent for some time) around for years in PS.
What I do think is that, though there may be other Guilds around with comparable goals, I hardly ever see any of those. And ofcourse there's an alliance with the "Helpers of Yliakum" guild, and I'd say that gives at least some foundation for a future, because they have been around for two years...
In the "guildbusiness" I am an absolute newbie, and in my enthusiasm that I just joined one for the first time, I whote this post.
I feel confident that this is a good and just goal. I'd help members of the Outlaws, Thieves, Prophets of Chaos, or any other just the same as I would anyone else.
So... let's see what happens, shall we?
The guild is at a pretty fresh restart. There might be changes, there might not. My glass orb is not functioning properly at this time...

Guilds Forum / [GUILD] Helping Hands (resurrection)
« on: February 15, 2008, 10:06:27 am »
Introduction:
The Helping Hands guild was originally formed a couple years ago, and then disappeared after the gods took Ssar Aradyn to the black void, and shortly thereafter disbanded all guilds in Yliakum. Now that Ssar Aradyn has been returned to Yliakum, she has reformed the Helping Hands guild to continue the legacy of helping others freely.
Several of the former members formed the guild "Helpers of Yliakum". Since that time, Helpers of Yliakum has become fairly inactive, and the leader of their guild, Melorek, and myself (Ssar), are working toward a merging of guilds.

All the current information on the Guild can be found there.
Guild rules:
* Help anyone you notice is in need of assistance or asks for help
* Do not ever steal or trick people out of their loot, Trias or posessions
* Lying to anyone will not be tolerated
* Never beg people to join the guild, tell them about joining only if they seem interested
* Share what you have with other guild members
The only exception to the helping others rule is when a person is being abusive to you or has already received a lot of help from you, you are not required to help them — but you can still help them if you want to.
GUILD PROJECTS
There will be several large scale projects that this guild will be working on, with the goals of improving society and culture in Yliakum. By helping society as a whole, I firmly believe that it will be more beneficial than helping people at random (which I will of course always do, in addition).
I didn't want to ad-lib the project outlines, and then rewrite them on the guild web site ... but now that this is already posted, I will give short summaries of some of the more interesting projects that are planned for this guild in the coming months.
Firstly, Helping Hands will form a non profit organisation, giving 100% of its donations and profits towards projects to improve life for the people of Yliakum.
Free Book Publishing
This is a project which will allow anyone to submit a creative (and entirely in character) written work to our guild. We will duplicate these books by hand and distribute them through our free book distribution system, free for all to use. Knowledge should be free.
By-Donation Store
This project will set up shops in Ojaveda and Hydlaa as time permits, where we will offer a wide variety of common items. Payment for items is by donation, though to avoid abuse if someone is paying very tiny amounts, they will be limited in what they are allowed to purchase during a day. The store will help those who are seeking a particular type of harder to find item, or those who simply need their first weapon.
Postal Service
This project would require a guild house, which we have just started to save up for a day ago. Anyone can deliver to us their letters and postcards (workers would not be permitted to read letters, but they would be allowed to read postcards), and we will freely deliver the mail to the recipient once they are back in Yliakum from the void [offline]. The message would be hand delivered to the recipient wherever they happened to be located in Yliakum. Delivery fee is by donation, sender pays for their own book.
Newspaper
There have been newspapers in the past, but there is no widespread, freely available newspaper at this time. We will accept unbiased articles from anyone (by unbiased, I mean it is not advertisement) and publish them once we have sufficient material, probably every couple weeks. The newspaper will have paid advertisements if anyone wishes to have their biased message included (e.g. guild hiring information, upcoming paid event, etc.). We will print the newspaper in sufficient quantity and distribute them as widely as possible, with the hopes that most people in Yliakum will eventually hear about it and give it a read.
There are other projects are in the works as well.
