Yliakum does have freedom of trade so anyone is free to start up a business.

Ok, but for role playing purposes, shouldn\'t guilds stay within their self-prescribed mandate?  It kind of greys the game when guilds try to be all things to all people.

I\'m not going to be here Monday...

Try reading up about our guild & our clan structure.  You will find that our Brown Clan is a merchant clan.  Here is part of what the Brown Clan says:

 The Brown Dragons\' Clan is the Clan of merchants, crafters and everything related to trading. Being the most important source of income of the guild, this Clan will only acknowledge members that have true abilities in crafting or in trading. The House of Traders regroups all the people who wish to learn everything about trading, and The House of Crafters regroups all the people who wants to become excellent crafters in one or more crafting areas.


It had always been our plan to have a guild store.

You have a clan for  each of warriors, mages, spies, spellswords, scholars, diplomats, and merchants.  I\'m sure you can justify it as based in RP, but in truth I just think you\'re a social network of friends who want to keep contact with eachother via the guild but at the same time be able to take advantage of all that Planeshift has to offer without the use of alts.  I\'m not saying that there\'s anything wrong with that, and if you\'re an order that is trying to support itself while it waits to rise if an evil force returns to threaten the land, then it\'s justified.  At the same time, I think it\'s entirely fair to call it grey.

For real life examples, the Knights of Templar and the Samurai of Japan were also knightly orders which became merchants (bankers, and warrior-monk musicians, respectively) in order to survive.

For you to comment on anything even remotely RP-related, and even more assuming that someone does not truly have an RP reason, and even more so when implying that someone is doing wrong, and then also bashing someone who actually does something for the community and for RP, quite contrary to you, I might add, it would first and foremost take you to actually have a RP background, intention, justification and qualification.
Neither is present in your so-called \"RP\", and while it obviously is your right to still rant about things that you obviously have no clue of yourself, it doesn\'t constitute anything but meaningless babble.

And since I would be surprised beyond imagination if that would change anytime soon, even in the PS sense, and have had quite enough of you, I\'ll just ignore you, something I should have done all along. :tdown:

And please if you want to continue slighting the DC, take it to the correct thread in the guild section, or better yet, keep it to yourself.  This thread is to advertise a competition that Ganios and I have held in the past and will hold again in the future.  It has nothing to do with our guild ( besides the fact that we are both members of it ).

Thanks.
Bod

I disagree with you on certain things.  So what?  Why get so upset about it?  And why express it in the form of an outburst like that?  If my opinions are truly so worthless in comparison to yours, there\'s nothing for you to be insecure about.

The prizes come from the Hydlaa Outfitters inventory, so it is technically guild related.  That said, I haven\'t insulted your guild here.

Thanks.

Zanzibar, big words and proper grammar don\'t make you look any smarter. If you had half a brain you would know that you\'ve made just about every thread you\'ve replied in run off-topic.

Then I guess it\'s a good thing that we have people like you who work so hard to keep the forum friendly and the threads on topic.

First off a HUGE Thank you to Ganinos for running the tournament in my absence.  ( I had planned to be the referee but RL events prevented me from attending today.)

I have not gotten the whole story, so not sure if there was GM involvement, but we actually were able to hold the entire tournament without a server crash! Woohoo!


Now the results!

1st Place: Noxide
2nd Place: Janner
3rd Place: Dylia

I wish to congratulate the winners and thank all who attended.  Please give your feedback here if you want us to continue holding this event on a monthly basis.

PS. The Janner and Noxide may stop by the shop anytime I am there to claim their prizes.

Too bad I couldn\'t see the finals , I would like to see Nox vs. Janner... How was the fight between them? Was there a centerfight?

[zorbels]

Noxide won but it was a good fight!!! I am wondering was this annouced to the public in the game? I only found out this was going on little to late through friends and was very unhappy that I could not join in the fun.

At any rate it was a good tournament and I enjoyed the show.

[Bodacher]

It was shouted all over the plaza, but I feel we may have neglected those on the road, or in Oja.

Fear not, if the rest of the feedback is as positive as what I\'ve heard so far, I\'m sure we will be doing it again, and I\'ll make sure you know about it Zorbels.

We had originally planned to make this a monthly event, with the monthly winner coming back at the end of the year for a year\'s championship....we\'ll wait and see on that one though.

[Avarus]

But what if Nox wins every time? Then he have to fight against himself...

[zorbels]

Thank you Bodacher and indeed I was in the oja road area when it must have been annouced.  A monthly event GREAT! Music to my ears......
