The Ghosts
« on: June 10, 2005, 06:23:45 am »

(This is the Ghosts common banner, although we have many variations)


Our Story



Saen snuck down the narrow and dimly lit alleyway.  A single lantern from the street cast a small amount of pale illumination into it?s narrow passage, so he could make out the dim shapes of several people congregated within.  They stood just far enough away from the mouth of a busy tavern? far enough so that they could not be heard, Saen was certain.  A tall figure in the middle spoke to the others, his hushed voice still able to project a tone of authority. Saen stayed very, very quiet so that he could hear without being heard.

?I tell you, it?s the only way,? the tall figure said.

?I?m still not sure King,? another shadow said, ?you say that it?s the only way, but I don?t like the idea of relying on others, I?m pretty confident in my abilities, and I?ll take my chances on my own before I rely on other people to do my fighting for me.?

?Dinnin, I realize that you are powerful on your own, but think about how much better off you?d be if you could rely on others who are more proficient in combat to assist you.  Together we?d all be stronger and more likely to succeed in our quest.?

Saen moved closer, not certain what he wanted to do.  He was hungry and needed to acquire some money for food, but the group looked formidable? no easy marks here and way too many of them.  He decided to wait until the group split up and then he would follow one and get his gold.

The tall one named King spoke again, ?Not only will we be able to protect one another in combat, but we will be able to pool our resources.  When one of us needs a weapon, but can not afford it we will be able to lend money to them to acquire it.  Doing so will benefit all of us because we if we agree to form a family here and now we will be able to count on that sword protecting not just one of us, but each and every one of us.  We require no commitment further than a member?s word of honor, for we all know that is all that is required when one is a member of a family? we can all trust family to do as they promise. ?

The figure that King had called Dinnin scratched his chin and then thrust out his hand.  King took the hand and sealed the compact.  The others all thrust out their hands and sealed the deal as well.  Sean was suddenly overcome with a feeling that he could not explain and stepped out of the shadows.

King gazed upon the newcomer without speaking.  Without thought Sean said, ?I am Sean? a weary traveler.  I have nothing to offer but my loyalty and skills, for the trek to this lonely town has cost all of my wealth.  I heard what you had to say and I would like to join your family, if you will take me.?

King asked, ?Why were you here in the shadows Sean??

Sean looked down at the ground guiltily and answered, ?I am hungry and I was looking to lighten one of your purses for food.  I suppose that you do not require such a person in your group??
King thought for a moment and then spoke, ?Well, every decision is a group decision, but your honesty moves me.  I am of the opinion that you would make a good addition to our family, and every family has to forgive faults at some time or other.  What does the group say??

The other members of the group all nodded acceptance and indicated that they agreed.  Saen thrust his hand out and took each other member?s in turn.  Thus was formed the Ghosts whose exploits would become the stuff of legend, but that is a story for another time.


Our Ranking System

We have everyone within 3 major groups, and 1 minor one, excluding the GuildMaster.

Level 1 - Squire (General Members) Level - Everyone is put here, there is only 1 possible group to advance to, and very rarely does that happen. So you are normally stuck here.

Level 2 - Knight (First Class Members Level) - Only the people who make incredible dents within the guilds existence will be allowed to rejoice in this level. It is not for the faint of hearted, as much more is expected of this level.

Level 3 - Alt\'s (Alt Members Levels) - This is where all the Alts of the guild members are allowed to be put. So people do not get confused with who there real identity is.

Level 8 - Officers (Officer Level) - These people have sworn that no matter what, they will continue to time and time again, show honor and swear oaths to protect our faire guild.

Level 9 - Soveriegn (GuildMaster Level) - Only 1 is ever allowed, and only one there shal.

We only want few different ranks, becuase it stops competition amongst guild members. This keeps everyone happy, and the guild in tip top shape.


Our Responsibilities as a Guild


- A responsible environment, where People know what to do, and cosquences are layed for those that do something wrong.

-We do not take kindley to ass\'s. Anyone found to be utterly annoying is removed on the spot.

-Whats Something without it being fun? We insist competition, questing, and general gameplay and fun things before the boring things of the game.

-Cooperation, and TeamPlay are highly encouraged and The Ghosts offers a vast ammount of teamplay. Most of our commanding officers and members know that a group that knows eachother fights together as well.

Although our amounts of members may not look like much, each of our members has worked with guild situations before, and knows what he/she must do, so although we have very few, we are much more experienced that guilds that create people from who they meet in game.

Our Official Guild Forums: www.teamghosts.tk
Any in-game Ghosts member (They are all directly linked to me), or bardon (Me)

The Ghosts like to take full part in community affairs, so you will be seeing many things donated from the Ghosts.


The All God Father Alliance (AGFA)

On June 8th, 2005, a alliance was formed between Imortais and the Ghosts and formed a common goal - Unite as many of the small guilds as possible, to give even the smallest of guilds a chance to become big and strong, through this was formed the All God Father Alliance (AGFA).


The All God Father Alliance extends its reach through the depths of Planeshift\'s vast world, but includes the following Guilds.

The Ghosts
Imortais
Soldiers of Aerkensbane
Minions
The Elite
League of Avatars

Nice but you\'re in need of a better name. The ghosts doesn\'t do a guild like yours any justice.

Also, did you just decide to remover ranks 4,5 and 6? That confused me....

Edit:

Ahhh!!! This is a Planeshift port of a Prunescrap guild!!

\"Yere He! Yere He! Riot gear for all!!!\"
*passes our pitchforks, swords, torches, etc.*
Let us remove these beasts from another world!!!

Great job! Your story is really nice and I like the whole idea of it. You don\'t portray The Ghosts as some guild trying to take over the world but as a family created to help its members. I think your idea is great but might agree that something is strange with your name. Ghosts has a mystical meaning and would probably fit a group of stealthers or members of some secret cult. You guys don\'t seem to have that mysterious side and from what I have read, you have no plans of being discreet about your actions.

Anyway, best of luck and I really hope to see your guild grow. Just encourage your members to roleplay and I\'m sure you\'ll become an accepted guild/clan in notime. :)

Well now you\'ve heard of them...
To see a Ghost you have to believe in them. I believe in you guys. ;) Good luck

QuickStar, I suggest applying to URPS and finding some more info about it. It goes through a rather inactive period atm, from several reasons, but it exists. It\'s something well \"done\", always seeking for new members.

 What can I say more, Good Luck!

I\'m not entirely sure who the URPS is, or how they relate back to my guild.

About the name though, alot of people have critisized us for it, but we refuse to change it. It gives us a mystical feeling (For a lack of a better term).

\"Anyone found to be utterly annoying is removed on the spot.\"

You define \'utterly annoying\' as someone worse than Ghosts|Jestal? :/ So does anyone ever get kicked? :P


You yourself sound very mature and intelligent, and this was a good post. So good luck to you. :)

Everyone does, jestal just has an amazing tendancy to make us incredibly mad, then do stuff to make us sorry for banning him.

Haha.  This was exactly what I was going to post.  Although a bit less nice of course. :baby:  

It\'s pretty weird because I confuse both of you because of the Ghosts| thing.  And it\'s like wow...the post actually makes some sense.

Ghosts are the spies of the Dark Empire, ...

I hope you are lighting the path for future guilds
