[GUILD] Ruby Reign

[LigH]

If you think our members are not roleplaying,

- read Gag\'s Diary,
- buy weapons in Illori\'s shop,
- ask people about her wedding with Acissej,
- meet Tharos in the Death Realm (o.k., not a member as Tharos, but as another character),
- watch Micarrie cuddle with Khay, or Lilie with Skreit (if he\'s not the \"Lonely Warrior\" then),
...

Other members (like Bereror) are mainly helping the developers in bugfixing - do you mind that?  :rolleyes:

And even other members are just learning to participate, or are less active so you may not have seen them often.

Furthermore, one of the main \"advantages\" of Janners Way for me was the freedom he gave his members. Not all roleplayers enjoy being limited by tight rules of a hierarchical guild. Some (like us) prefer the mix of individual freedom and a tolerant small community. Therefore we continued this concept in Ruby Reign. If you don\'t share this opinion, please at least let us enjoy it.

What I don\'t understand, are people who love nitpicking about the IC reason for a helpful guild more than fighting intolerant people who split the community...

Simply because this idea can be done in an IC way, and would be a waste of good RP opportunities if made completely OOC.

Also, you guys need to state in your first post what kind of replies you want to this thread. If asking for IC reasons is bad (especially when they are not presented in the explanatory post) you clearly must have everything worked out already and do not require any feedback. Maybe you should state that in your first post, so the weird people who want to help you don\'t waste their time

Sengus - I don\'t think that you want to split the community; I know that you love roleplaying too much to offend other members so much that they would either curse you, or quit playing.

Apart from that... Not all players are \"born roleplayers\", and not all love to be pushed head-over-heels into it. Still, they are part of this world. We want to give them a guiding hand, and will show them several ways to live here. It is their decision which they will follow.

I only hope that you \"real roleplayers\" will have enough tolerance with those who are still learning. It took me several months to become what I am today - ask people around who are famous for good roleplaying, I\'m sure most of them would not want to miss me today. Learning to enjoy roleplaying is possible - some need more time than others.

You can believe that we talked a long time about the way we would present us to the public. But the OOC reason is too complicated to publish it as IC reason, and alternative IC reasons are hard to work out to describe the intentions correctly and comprehensive enough. What you can read in the opening, is a result of discussions over two months. Please don\'t mind me doubting that people who don\'t know us, will \"help\" us immediately.

\"Janner\'s Way\" has never been accepted by all members, therefore \"Ruby Reign\" won\'t be either. Some were against the great freedom the members were allowed, called it a lack of structure, or did not accept them being a guild. Some seemed to be simply against \"another of so many newbie-helping guilds\", principally, and never wanted to understand the speciality. And I try to avoid arguing with \"anti everything\" people, because I know that they don\'t listen to arguments. You, Sengus, are certainly not one of those...

Something being hard should never stop anyone :) Otherwise we wouldn\'t have PlaneShift at all.

I still maintain that it would be more beneficial to the PlaneShift community as a whole if we had more roleplay-oriented guilds, but it\'s your choice. It just seems that not everyone will think that it\'s the best choice you could have made.

True, true. All these help the weak guilds are turning the \"weak\" into high-rollers with 15 bodyguards while they kill a rat in the sewers. Come on! Think world domination, killing of annoying evil guys like Sangwa, just plain messin\' with people. Anything will do.

Ruby Reign now has a Guild House where we also welcome visitors. But we ask all the visitors to leave their weapons outside before entering the house.

Guild House

Hi,

Ruby Reign has renamed a few levels in preparation for a new guild track. Here are the new levels:
1.  Inductee
2.  Novice
3.  Apprentice
4.  Mentor
5.  Officer
6.  Manager
7.  Vice Counselor
8.  Counselor
9.  Ruby Crystal Mistress

The new guild track is Mentor. All members after they achieve level Clerk (4) will be put in this new track. At the moment we dont have anyone in this level so for now we have allowed Skreit and Semson both Apprentices to take on this important track for the guild. So if you are new to Planeshift and need help or are a new member to our guild please come and ask Skreit, Semson or anyone in the levels of Clerk, Officer, or Manager for help getting to know the world.
