Pacifist Guilds?
« on: October 25, 2008, 06:12:05 am »
What guilds are in game right now that share a theme of pacifism?  That is to say, ones that don't promote fighting or violence, and also ones that are religiously open minded?

When you say fighting, do you mean fighting against just people or are you including monsters?

I'd be interested to hear about either.

Well I have my merchant syndicate called The Syndicated Mercantile and my "true guild" that specializes in only one skill called Syndicated Mining Company.  They don't do any violence, but I wouldn't really call them pacifist since we actually make weapons.  We're not really religious either, so I guess we're unprejudiced.

I've spent a month away from this game so I don't really know what other guilds have cropped up.  Also the guilds forum isn't a really good way to answer this since most don't advertise their guilds there anyways.

My player's guild had a pacifism policy but that only applied to guild wars, individual players/characters were free to fight if they felt the urge, but no one was forced into PVP through a guild war based conflict. It seemed to work pretty well, but more recently people have been wanting a change to the policy (one I don't really condone, but am no longer in a position to do much about it.)

Greetings, Friends~
This be mostly my secret, but I am trying not to kill any sentient beings- including gobbles- in our world. Roled would prefer not to kill anything, but so many of his errands require rat eyes, tef skins, et al, that he has decided killing creatures in the wild is acceptable. Killing creatures in the Arena, since they be 'caged animals' is not an acceptable sport to Roled.

Roled would like to join a pacifist guild, if there be one that is similar to this value system, or find other friends to help train without actually killing rogues, mercenaries and other people of sentient biology.

I realize of course that this be my definition of sentient, and perhaps these other creatures too have hopes, dreams, loves, and emotional or rational lives that being in the life form of a Dermorian, I cannot sense. For this, if I have killed a creature who has experienced the attack emotionally or rationally as well as viscerally, I do beg entire pardon.
Thankee.

One example of a guild with pacifistic tendences: Ways of Life. Talk with Yadili and Ileresa, I dare you! Especially Yadili is such a naive but somehow wise character, sometimes it hurts arguing with her (But... but... but...) :D

Knowledge seekers are pacifist in the sense that we do not engage in war. We are here to learn and accept people of all races and religions on our quest to gain knowledge. Yes we have miners, crafters and warriors, but we study the geology of the land, the flaura and fauna and also crafting techniques. We also study magic, history and the geography of the land.

We welcome all races and religion as this helps us to learn more as each person comes from a different background and has different experiences. If you are interested I can normally be found in hydlaa plaza or trasoks researchingg crafting techniques.
