[GUILD] The Crooks - Updated
« on: February 17, 2007, 05:45:02 am »
UPDATED:

Hello, and welcome to The Crooks Official Thread

A new guild based on the very thing the good, hard-working people of Hydlaa fears. No, we are not really about spreading terror and chaos in the Hydlaa community, on the contrary, we work very secretively without being noticed. Our goal is to control all of Hydlaa's economy at any costs (buying people off, or even using force if needed). Our people will be everywhere, have hands in every aspect of people's lives, way up to the highest positions in Hydlaa's Government, we will always have the upper hand in everything!

The guild is currently accepting all races.


The Guild Ranks will be as follows: (in ascending order)

An Apprentice - most likely a newbie, so he/she will not have to take orders from anyone, instead he/she will be roaming around Hydlaa looking for good chances to rank up.

A Lock Picker - Is somewhat trained, and would still take no orders from anyone, but is given the chance to either become a Bully or a Burglar, both requires certain skills that will be discussed later.

A Burglar - Comes naturally after being a lock picker, he's a more experienced member of the guild and will start to take direct commands from Gang Leaders and Members.

A Bully - Should be good at fighting to a certain extent. He takes orders directly from Gang Leaders.

A Gang Member - Is someone who is experienced enough to become a Gang Leader assistant they take orders from Gang Leaders and are privileged in the sort of tasks they are asked to do. Should be well experienced.

A Gang Leader -  He does the Politicians dirty work, and he has a direct authority on all the former ranks. also, when the guild becomes big enough, every Gang Leader will get to choose a number of followers that will be considered his OWN gang (no other Gang Leader will have any kind of authority on them) - and every gang will has its own name. He also nominates Gang Members for gangs leadership.

A Politician - Our representatives in the government, they buy people's votes, bribe local guards, and send threats to opposing parties - although they work separately, they will usually take orders directly from me.

       

               
Assistant - This is an extremely sensitive position, that will be chosen carefully over time. He/she gets to take the guild leader's place when he's not available and has same authorities as him.

The Evil Munkii - Well, that's ME, my identity shall remain secret (for future generations :o)


What do you get when you apply:
- First and foremost, you get to be in a good guild with great chances of success.
- Fun people that you will ultimately enjoy role playing with.
- You can use any of the banners below or upcoming ones as a forum signature or in your personal blog (feel free to manipulate or make your own)
- First 4 ranks will get a specially made signature with their name and rank on.
- Newbies will be provided with tools and tips to make their PlaneShift experience as smooth and complications-free as possible. (within and under the rules & conditions of PlaneShift, no cheating!)
- We also encourage any sort of creativity - we would always be open for your suggestions and thoughts at any stage of the guild's life (before or after the guild lunch).

What do you need to apply:
- You need to have an actual character in PlaneShift, apparently :)
- You need to provide us with your in-game name (if you're going to apply from the forums)
- You need to follow the PlaneShift (PS) Role Playing (RP) rules.
- You need to learn some PS acronyms :)
- Most importantly, You need to have some sense of humour, this announcement might sound lame (avoiding deletion), but in-game we are the funniest bunch (one hopes), role playing our guild will be the toughest part of it and we will not be able to do it without a little humour on the side. We don't want our guild to die simply because it got DULL!

As you might already know, a guild costs 200,000 trias to create now, so any donations will be greatly appreciated at the moment. As the guild leader I'm investing 100,000 trias into the guild, and I'm working my leather pants off to raise the rest as soon as possible, I'm not in a hurry however, this delay actually gives me a much needed time to set the guild's web-page and discussion board (see below for links), also to apply a respectable number of players to start with.

Artwork:





Any help from members of the PS forum (whether are going to apply or not) is appreciated, if you think you can make better art-works for our guild please go ahead, we're also open for suggestions from outsiders, but can't promise anything..

For further information or suggestions, you can add your comments to this thread, or contact me at: munkiiboi@gmail.com

Our meeting place in Hydlaa will be decided with the guild lunch.

The guild is apply to change, at any time, so keep visiting this thread - thanks for all suggestions by good members of the board

I don't see any difference between this post and the previous one.  How is it "updated" if both guild descriptions are identical?

It actually sounds worst.

You've missed the point about lock pickers. Lock pickers pick locks. So members in that rank should pick locks. They should break into people's home or open chests and things for the guild.

The Evil Munkii? You're just testing us now, aren't you?

And didn't you hear what we said about representatives in the government? Okay. Here it goes: these must be guild leaders of craft guilds. I don't think any guild leader would bow his head to Evil Munkii, who can't even afford his own guild... or hide his unlawful purposes.

I'm starting to think you've got no real good chances with this project. Seems you are impervious to evolution.
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I can be reasoned with. I'm probably right, though.

Join the Dark Empire!

I think he has a good shot at getting it off.  I think it sounds pretty well organized.  Only problems are how are you going to invade teh government...when there really isn't a player run gov atm.
There are two types of people in this world: The Pinky and the Brain.
Which one are you?

Sangwa, i think i know what the problem is: you are trying to compare my guild to The Dark Empire! it's not the same, i have a completely different approach to the whole guild thing, it's not intended to be as strictly serious as the Empire, some guy from the old thread said that it's my fault that i didn't make it obvious enough that the guild is about HUMOR, and before you go ahead and accuse me of  ruining the seriousness of PS role playing, i want you to know that i DO take my humor SERIOUSLY, it's not like i'm gonna run around pretending i'm a monkey climbing trees and eating bananas, it's just a more humorous approach to role playing a guild, my updated version of the guild just made this more obvious! thank you for stoping by  :flowers:

So is this guild going to be in game or is it a fourm joke? Your roleplay has to be serious.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Parallo, it'll be in-game when it's ready, right not it's NOT, i just needed a place to lay my ideas out, if it didn't get good responses (or no responses) i'll take it as a sign that i'm doing something wrong, but you can't just stay there and tell me i'm supposed to make everybody happy, nothing good comes out of this, i mean i've got SEVERAL takes on the Empire structure, but i also know that this's just my opinion other people might find it interesting, so i know it's just not for ME, right now i'm still getting mixed messages, some people like my guild (some even haven't commented on any of my threads) and others find it retarded! i respect both opinions but non of them can tell me what i SHOULD do, it's my guild after all, if it fails i take all the blame, if it succeeds i take all credits. so what i'm trying to say is i can't balance the guild in a way that will make EVERYBODY happy, it's just not possible!

The way to make everybody happy would be to make a guild that is consistant with the settings and not something thats ment to be humourous.

well, that's the point, i don't even see where i've went wrong with the whole game settings thing, i've read every piece of document on this site and i haven't found anything that goes against my guild's approach, and before you go ahead and give me a list that i have seen for the 90th time in here, i know what your gonna say, but i just don't SEE it! so save your breath, and try to be more supportive than critical.

That is just silly. Heaven forbid someone wants to add a little humour into thier RP.

I dont see the point of another 'cookie cutter' guild, there are enough of them already. The Crooks are not going to try and join the almighty DE, so stop trying to make it fit into the guidelines of it. They are trying to have a little fun, just because it isnt your idea of fun, dosent make it wrong. Lighten up people.

A member of the government cannot occupy a rank in your guild because in order to be in that position he or she must be at the top of another guild. If you try to be humourous do you think other guilds will take you seriously? Do you think that you can control everything with titles like The Evil Munkii? People will think you are jsut a bunch of mental peasents with strange asperations.

In pointing these flaws out and taking the time to do so I am being supportive. Would you rather people just say 'Good job' and not try to help?

Have you played that spy game? No one lives forever. These guys remind me of the evil organisation in that. If such a think existed people wouldn't take it seriously at all.

The Politician position may be vacant for a while :D

If that is the case, then great lol, I think that would be funny. "Oh no, here comes the crazy Crooks"  ;D

If I am understanding Munkii correctly, that is the point, sillyness and a laugh or two.

The way I interpreted it was that he intended to make his goals a reality.

I think so too, and it should be a lot of fun for those who see the lighter side of it all.
