Beggar's Guild

[Kwip]

Hehe, yes this is what I was hoping for when I commented before  when people complained about begars.  This should prove to be a very intresting guild that I will watch very closely (specially since being poor and all I have no purse to look after ).

[Kiramon]

Here I go teaching others not to beg - and what do you do?.... you make a beggar\'s guild -.-

alright it is a good idea, not sure how many members you will get - but just one thing... keep you filthy hands off my purse scum! X(

[snow_RAveN]

Not to rain on your parade or anything but there\'s the moonlight guild thingy which has nearly the same goals and stuff  but i dont know if its still around or something ...

And honestly it sounds like a nice guild, i mean no goals like blowing up the cave, or saveing it form people who are planing to/ about to blow up the cave. But i guess the best you can do atm is loitier around outside the tav with the intent of helping your fellow cave dellewers lighten the burden of carrying in large ammounts tira.

I am so delighted by the response.  I\'m sill sort of forming the guild.  I don\'t expect many members, since we\'re not as glamorous as, say, the Diablo Monsters....

It occured to me that I need 9 ranks, so I\'m going to have an intro beggar rank, a king rank and then two of each Thesbian, Gypsy and Family.

Thanks for the heads up on Moonlight! A brief search indicates that they are pretty inactive, so I\'m gold.

Now I have another question for you guys.  What is the ideal interaction The Beggars would have with your guild and/or yourself?  I mean, if Phinehas wants to constantly run us out of the tavern, I\'m game.  Are there ways you can think of to create a richer environment?

Thanks for your time!

[Phinehas]

Happy to oblige, as always.

[Cyl]

Well, if I wouldnt be in with ashes, I would have considered joining.

About interaction. Well sometimes I could get pretty mean if some of you interrupt me while sleeping in a side-street, or knock me of a roof or something.

[buddha]

Cyl, which roofs do you typically stand on?  Do you have a chimney sweeping business?  That\'s good work, when you can get it.

EDIT:  The proper forms have not yet been submitted, so the beggings will continue...

Well powerful people throughout history (both the game\'s and real life\'s I bet) have tried to keep their own hands clean by hiring lowlifes to do their dirty work for them. Your guild members would be the perfect candidates for the kind of work you never want to publically admit you \'re doing as a respectable member or leader of a guild. Of course it would require some type of professionalism from your side in the way that you don\'t normally mention the people you do business with to others .. that is unless you see a chance to blackmail some more money out of them or take revenge on them for not paying you. I don\'t expect a guild of scum to be honorable and trustworthy but if I could count on some discretion I can see people wandering in a dark alley hoping to contact your kind.

After all if a poor bum tries to kill or rob someone and fails everyone will think he was after your money .. and if he should succeed they will think the same. While the one who hired that bum knows better.

Enormous potential for a guild like this.

Good luck to you nice to hear of variety entering the game once again

[Leiraine]

I love the idea! Great guild, and I hope very much you will succeed!

About the interractions, I think there is a well to explore about how the members will be fetching info in the first place. Listenning at the doors? Arranging some sort of deals with \'natural\' gatherers of information, like inn keepers and maids? Setting up some kind of posts at the crowded places and events? I know I might be going slightly out of Yliakum\'s setting in its current state, but hey, isn\'t there no limit to rp?

[Jadd]

Nice, we needed a guild for all the scum....ehhh, I mean \"less fortunate\" people of Yliakum  

Hehe, this is like in the Tamuli saga where all lowlifes bands together and creates a structurated society. Is there a handbook for begging by the way? You could make one and name it \"beg for mercy\"  

No, but really, nice idea Buddha. Good luck

Well, I was actually roleplying with you the other day under a newly made (I was that Klyros that didn\'t talk much ). I think you\'re a great roleplayer personally. That will be a plus in my opinion. I say experiment with different things. See people\'s reactions to different kinds of begging, to doing deeds that people want as well as deeds that you do qithout asking, like putting a coat down in a puddle for a lady or something along those lines (maybe try a medeival version of a squeegee kid somehow... have fun thinking of how).

It\'s not out of character to try and come up with something creative when you\'re a begger, and sometimes you need that creative edge to make it through the world.

I\'m sure you\'ll think of something, just give it time.

[Cha0s]

So, how\'re you doing on members? I\'m waiting for the posts of people all pledging to sign up... *looks around*

Seriously, this guild has so much potential. You just need the right people to see it. You might also want to start screening newbies in-game. Pick out the good RPers and invite them in. Newbies are also just the type to join a beggars guild: they have no money!

[buddha]

/me mumbles under his breath \"We have one member besides me, and he\'s an old friend...\"

I expect recruitment will rise with the general game population.  Right now, I don\'t think anyone is doing well in that arena.

Many people in game and here have said they like the idea, but few have come forth to participate.  That\'s okay, I expected it to be a bit slow...

However,  I will say that I believe The Beggars are the only guild that have an actual plan for power.  We (well, mostly me, but that\'s enough at the moment) are laying the groundwork for future endeavours.  Of course, I can\'t share it, but let me put it this way: My guild idea was pretty different and fairly practical, so goes my plan for power--unusual and yet fairly practical.  That is, if we stay the course, The Beggars and those affiliated will achieve their goal. Join the project if you want to hear more.

I\'m really glad the idea is so welcomed, though.  Ultimately, I\'m hoping the presence of the guild and its members will up the level of RP in the game.  In conjunction with UTM\'s elections, Zan\'s rotary club thing and Provisionist1\'s cult, we are laying a pretty solid foundation for the post-wipe era.  I wish I could run into those guys in game!

EDIT: Hey!  Aisleyn is Rakal?  You were awesome.  I have to look for you again!  That was a truly cool, Western movie moment!
