[GUILD] One (Now fully formed)

[Shadowcarn Acolyte]

Rodef Emet was on the run from his past. After leaving his former guild, tragically doomed to destruction because of its strict hierachy, he found many others with similar experiences, and decided on a solution: A guild without ranks, without a hierachy. A guild where everyone was equal, regardless of experience or ability. A guild of victims of the hierachy. A guild of Exiles. No, he thought, that wasn't quite it. A guild of Equals!

One is be a fully egalitarian socialist guild. There are no ranks, and everyone is equal. The guild's ideology is based on Marx's principle: Each to his own ability, each for his own need.

The Guild Rules are as follows:


1) All members of One are expected to fulfill (if able) any reasonable request given to them by a fellow guild member.

2) All members are expected to help the guild in whatever way they can, be it crafting, magic, battle, mining or any other special skills.

3) All members are to respect all sentient life, as well as all beings' undeniable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

4) One as a guild does not condone violence in any form other than in self-defence, the defence of a fellow guild member or the defence of a friend.

5) All members are expected to treat all beings decently and with respect.

6) Preaching is forbidden. All beings are entitled to their own beliefs, but we kindly ask that you refrain from forcing yours on others.

7) Any member who is unable to fulfill a guild expectation is excused from the requirement to do so.

Any member who is able and does not fulfill a guild expectation or who breaks a guild rule will be given a warning. Repeat offenders will be banished from the guild.

9) Honesty is paramount. Any member who falsely denies breaking a guild rule or not fulfilling a guild requirement will be banished from the guild without receiving a warning.

Our meeting place is the Secret Garden. These are our current Members:

Rodef Emet: Healing and Crystal Way

Siranov Jaylor: Weapon and Armour Repair, Smithing

Soyell: Mining, Smithing and Metallurgy

Dravial: Defender

Daamar: Weapon and Armour Making, Smithing


If you are interested in joining the guild with me, please post here.
Sincerely,
Rodef Emet

I'm glad The One reposted this, so glad, in fact, that I joined the guild.

[Donari Tyndale]

So your guild resorts to forcing a roleplay upon the Tyndale Trading Company? No. It will not involve in a socialism vs capitalism roleplay. If you do not cease, I'll involve the GMs, as this borders harassment. Stop telling the members of your guild to treat the TTC as a capitalist enemy.

[GlassZephyr]

well, that's what I'd expect from a guild rping egalitarian socialists.
any group led by the average will tend towards common blunders and ultimately to mediocrity, once the shock value has worn off.

[Soyell]

Hi Donari,

The One is about equality and as far as I am aware is not trying to force a roleplay on others. I [OCC] and Soyell [IC] do not believe in forcing our views on others, and Soyell has certainly not treated the TTC as a 'capitalist enemy'. In fact, the only IC knowledge Soyell has of yourself and TTC was during the RP I was involved in with Diat Azshara (Laanx followers) the other day when Soyell met your goodself. You would have to agree that Soyell was quite respectful to Sir Tyndale during that RP.

[Donari Tyndale]

Seems your leader, Rodef, doesn't agree with your point of view, Soyell. A member of your guild voiced that he forbid any interaction between the TTC and his guild, despite me having told him not to initiate such a roleplay.

[Prolix]

I wouldn't get too upset about a non-interaction rule, Donari, it could just be his way of ensuring his members do not actively cause you grief by targeting your business for their rabble rousing.
You ask to not be involved so he required the members to not involve you. You can't have it both ways, any in character interaction would be to oppose your business so for you to demand they shop in your stores without spreading their gospel is a demand for them to go out of character.

Ignoring each other would seem the best bet if you cannot otherwise agree.

[Donari Tyndale]

Oh no, I asked for no OOC involvement in such a roleplay. However, he spreads the TTC=capitalism=enemy ideology IC. And their members do shop without spreading their gospel already. He's set upon his "You can not stop communism!" ideology.

[Prolix]

Communism is kind of out of context for planeshift anyway. Maybe I should give them my shares 

 

[Pizik]

Like most supposed communists, he would likely accept them ;op

[Kangold D]

Oh no, I asked for no OOC involvement in such a roleplay. However, he spreads the TTC=capitalism=enemy ideology IC. And their members do shop without spreading their gospel already. He's set upon his "You can not stop communism!" ideology.

Donari, your advertising for Tyndale Trading Company is filled with financial terminology that wasn't used in the Middle Ages but is used today in finance. And, I could not care less. But please realize that you and Rodef are "guilty" of the same crime you accuse him of, in a slightly different way.

The One is a guild of members, none of them ideological leaders, none of them policy dictators, all equals who agree on a number of basic points. But, I will speak to Rodef, our respected founder, to ask him to leave you alone since his references to modern economics disturb you. In my own opinion, you may go on using the terminology of capitalism to describe your guild's economic activity, however, because I don't find it detracts from my role-playing, though it does make me giggle OOC.

[Donari Tyndale]

I am not guilty of forcing my roleplay on others despite having been told not to . I have told him thrice, actually.
