Dueling Guild

[Cha0s]

It can be completely dueling as long as this is in-character. For a history, I\'d suggest why your character wanted to found the guild. I\'d also lay out some goals (promote dueling, improve combat skills, etc) and rules (No attacking guild-mates without agreement, etc). Without structure and history, the guild will not work. Also, please read this thread to get an idea of what else is needed.

I would hope that every single person in the game does whatever he/she does in the game from an OOC perspective.

Try as I might, I cant understand this sentence- could you rephrase it?

I don\'t expect everyone to sit around and chat all day, doing nothing; that would be out of character for most of them. However, I do expect people to create some frame of character and stick to that frame. The creation of the guild should fall within this frame and be supported by it as well.

Well, I\'d argue that there\'s a difference between \"Creating a Frame\" and engaging in roleplay.  In my mind, people expect you to not break the roleplay atmosphere- However very few people expect you to activly engage in roleplay.  I think theres 3 different levels- OOC, Passive RP and Active RP.  OOC obviously either referring to the game itself or talking about real life events.  Passive Roleplay means just acting as if you were in game- Talking to people, asking people questions, killing stuff, etc.  Active Roleplay would be strictly sticking to medievil talk and character, and/or engaging in roleplaying activites and the like.  I think It is expected that you maintain Passive Roleplay, so you dont ruin it for others- But I havent, in game, seen much expectation that you conform to the higher level.  Perhaps its meant to be different?, but it isnt at the moment.

It can be completely dueling as long as this is in-character

Agreed.  Additionally, Making it not all dueling doesnt make up for the lack of depth in terms of story etc,.

You need to have it be IC both on the forums and in the game. You can have the OOC section if you want, but there has to be an in-character one as well. Without an in-character description of your guild... well, let\'s just say Aendar will not like you very much and this thread will be locked.

I\'m an atheist :P

In other news, when describing your guild, you have to try to be in-character as much as possible. Your character is creating the guild in Yliakum, after all, and your character is going to be interacting with others. Thusly, your character would know nothing about buttons or shortcuts, and therefore your character will not train nor practice the best mouse or shortcut or button setup. I understand that tweaking such things are important parts of the game mechanics, but it honestly has very little to do with making a presentation of your guild.

*edited to add* You didn\'t address my question about the Demons of PS. I\'m rather curious about that.

Hrmm... I just reread your description and I see that you do have a base to work from. If you can just take out OOC references (shortcut buttons, etc) or put them in a different section, neaten up the grammar and organization, and add details, you should be set. Oh, and add the history!!! Your character had a reason for creating this guild. What is it?

Not in anywhere but the Arena and other suitable locations, right? And not just duel spamming? For example, your guild members will be forced to speak to people they would want to duel before /challenging, right? Because if not... Then man are you going down.

You can still have an IC history beginning. Act as your character, and give a sort of speech on why you want to establish this organization. In-character, say what you are looking for in potential members. It will help, honestly :)

Well, this is sounding a lot better than how it sounded originally :) Definitely good luck to you, and if you can, try to organize your first post as much as possible with additional info as it comes in, or becomes developed. It\'s the bookcover to your guild.
