Seeking info about RP guilds
« on: October 05, 2006, 10:56:46 pm »
I'm looking for information about RP guilds that roleplay heavily in all channels, preferably with the allowance for OOC comments in parentheses or such, and preferably with an edge of insanity IC. :)

All guilds ~should~ be roleplaying, just like all characters ~should~ be roleplaying.  The ones that don't roleplay tend to die out pretty quickly after mass recruiting up to 150 players.  The Guild Knights were a good example of that... the only roleplayers were near the top of the ranks, and even then it was pretty sketchy, and the guild was huge.  Now it's gone except for maybe one guy who I think finally left not too long ago.

I think the best way to find out about guilds is by asking in game and in character.  You'll have more fun that way, and you might get more colourful responses.  The prophets of chaos are a slightly insane bunch.  They don't see themselves as evil though.  A lot of their members are rather juvenile but I think they have potential and a sincere interest in roleplaying.  There's also Culmi Navarre, but if it's membership you're interested in you're probably out of luck.  (Culmi Navarre is one of those "Don't come to us, we'll come to you" deals on some level.)  There have been other guilds that have come and gone but still have a legacy of sorts.  Verrliit Razorclaw used to be in a guild called "Twin Blades of Arete".  They were relatively evil and more than just a bit fanatical.  They had this weird fascination with perfection and killing things.  She's still active and might have an interesting thing or two to tell you.

Just go through the guild threads and ask in-game. You'll be sure to get the best information that way. Don't join the first guild that invites you, even if it seems cool.

“Looking for guild...” threads are not allowed. It is your responsibility to search for the guild that will suit you best – read through recruitment/promotional threads on this board, ask around in-game, etc. If you only look at the guilds that respond to your thread, you will be limiting yourself greatly, so extend that extra effort to find the right “home” for your character.

And read the Guild Discussion rules.

The question was "Which guilds have the most roleplay", not "I need a guild to join".  Its a valid topic for discussion in the guilds forum.

I would say, look at the guild threads but look for a guild that innately has a role within the current ps settings.

The settings say there are guilds, but those guilds aren't prescribed by the settings.  Guilds are player initiatives, so I don't see how the guilds have "innate" roles within the PS settings.

"RP guilds" is not a specific enough category for anyone to help you here. What sort of guild are you looking for, once the RP is established? Any preferred "alignment," or interest, or goals? "Edge of insanity" can mean different things to different people If you need directions to something, best describe your destination in as much detail as possible.

I would say roleplaying a guild of priests of laanx for example is innate to the settings ;)

"Looking for guild..." could be "Looking for guild information." So there.

I can't agree with that.  Vespers of Laanx is a guild that believes in charity and being nice to everyone.  But Laanx her self is a god worthy of fear.  She's vindictive, vain, bitter, and destructive.  I don't think there's any single way to view Laanx, and therefore there isn't any single way to worship her, and therefore there isn't any single guild that necessarily arises from the settings for such a purpose.

Man, I need to stop saying this, but Zanzi's right again. I always wondered why any follower of Laanx would be a do-gooder.

One little tinsy winsy problem.

We as players know Laanx is all the above. But I doubt Talad would badmouth his fellowgod to his followers as he still hopes things will return to the way things were and as characters that would be our only source of information that would reach us.

And even if Laanx isn't hiding sides of herself. Laanx as a god may be vendictive but that gives people all the more reason to worship that god. That way vengeance is upon those others that don't worship Laanx after all. As I see it normally people would worship both. If they want something nice or they seek healing they go ask Talad. If they want blessing in combat or to curse an adversary or just make sure the curse of your adversary doesn't work you go to Laanx.

Talad won't badmouth Laanx because he has a feeling of guilt triggered by her disfigurement.

Asking which guilds have the most RP is a futile question. It would be like asking what is worst, being shot in the head, or being hit with an axe on the head. The point is that each of those get you killed :P
Making top10s about such subjective things was always a bad ideea IMO and just a generator of flames. But... if you want to go there, I'd say my guild [Game Masters] has the best RP evarrr and we are such cool guys, and we know our stuff, and... hmm.. this doesn't sound right but things like this are bound to happen when asking "who RPs the best or the most". :)
