[GUILD] The Shadow Hand

[Frois]

The Shadow Hand is a Black Operation type guild. We sell our services to whomever has the money to pay for them. This is a secret guild.

The following are some examples of the ops we offer, but anything else is perfectly fine as well.

Assassinations, Sabotage, theft, kidnapping, torture, etc.

We also offer the possibility to give several specifications. Including the "False flag" option. This basically means framing. We'll conduct the operation and frame a person for it. By puting fabricated evidence on the scene.

The benefits of joining us:

Benefit #1: TRIA!! We do pay well, all depending on the difficulty of the op and the resources needed to conduct it.

Benefit #2: Job security, should you ever be in legal trouble because of a job you conducted poorly, we will get you an alibi, but you will have to pay it back.

Now the Benefits of doing work with us:

Benefit #1: Discretion, In no way do we ever reveal the names of the clients and so your identity is safe.

Benefit #2: Job well done, we always carry out our task one way or another.

Benefit #3: No guilt, you will never be mentionned to the authoryties even if we get caught. after all only the person you contacted will know who you are and it is unlikely that they would talk.

If you are interested in joining us, doing business with us or getting more information in a OOC manner. Contact one of the following characters: Zaft Lon, Meninur Horihe.

You can also contact me directly through this forum's private message.

The method for contacting us (ICly) is to go to the stonehead Tavern wearing a black scarf, another person wearing a black scarf will be the contact.

Sorry, my talents might be great but I'm far to greedy to give up any of my pay. And getting points at 1 per assassination will cause nobody to get above intermediate, because you wont be able to find that many people ready to die.

[Frois]

hmm... you may be right for the points thing as for giving up part of your pay don't forget this is an evil organisation and well being evil doesn't come cheap also it is to finance a guildhouse and voluntary donations would probably be hard to obtain, I'll review the points given per assassinations, I simply wanted it not to be too easy to rank up as well as making it in a way that would allow people to rank up in a fair way.

I guess you are right though I'll rectify this in the next couple of days. Thanks for pointing it out, it does seem difficult now that It was pointed out.

For the pay being taken it is to finance a guildhouse.... but then again I guess you are right this is pretty selfish as for the percentage, I'll check this out as well, I do wish to eventualy have a guildhouse but I guess there is no need to rush.

[Frois]

All right, here it is I have changed it slightly, the ranks are no longer improved upon points as well as there is no longer an obligated quantity of Tria to pay. Also to solve the possible problem of how the intelligence department gain their money I have given them the right to sell this information to fellow guild members, as well as outsiders but to those it is forbidden to provide information about the guild or guild members. If anyone has any issue they would like to bring to my attention please do so.

The way ranks will be increased I will have to think about it and find someone who knows alot about the game mechanics so I can make it to be raised through stats requirement instead of points and such.

You better be a secret guild... and don't be surprised if even the Octarchy will hunt you (meaning the GMs in their role as e.g. Hydlaa Guards).

Be careful in your play not to drift into godmodding. Not all of the players of your victims will enjoy their characters being killed.

[Frois]

Haha I know, and I would not drift into god modding, in any assassination I would get someone to contact the player and ask them if they would be fine roleplaying an assassination on their character if they say no then the one assigned to it will have to figure out a way to kill the person in actual combat. Of course even in roleplay assassinations the victim always has a fighting chance, otherwise it simply wouldn't be fair. Even though we sadly can't do as in reality and the swift "walk behind them and stab them in the back while walking away like nothing" type assassination.

We're mostly roleplay but careful not to godmod as well as It is a secret guild also I did expect to be hunted down which is why the master is never revealed so not to get that person involved in any risk (a clever character which was created solely for the purpose of being evil and bringing fear to the world of yliakum) Once the guild is well set (by that I mean once I solved many issues) I'll be making a post on the forums on "how to approach an assassin 101" or something like that XD

[Vakachehk]

hmmm interesting guild, cheap name but still its an alright idea. I am sure there are many other guilds out there that are based around this one idea of assassins, but probably dead. Well good luck in the future, and shall The Dark Empire rule you, mwahahahahahaha! 

[Frois]

Haha! Yes I have heard of alot of guilds that tried to establish themselvs like this but failed. As for the name: I originaly planned it to be in japanese but then I was told I couldn't do that I guess it could have been roleplayed as a dialect spoken in a far away land, but anyway I'll see if I change the name eventualy when I come up with better ideas.

And yes the cutthroats are simmilar to us but not quite the same. Also the ultimate plan I have for this guild is completely different.  -insert evil smile followed by maniacal laughter- But this is a secret  thanks for wishing me luck and feel free to make an alt to join us haha!

[Frois]

I just realised something. I'm building the guildsite but unfortunately it's very difficult since I only know the basic HTML and I can only figure out some javascripts I found online.

So If anyone is knowing in this and wishes to help please contact me through forum private message. thanks

Does this remind me of a certain guild? Oh yeah! The Bounty Hunters... Pretty much the same thing. No offence of course, but I don't really see this guild lasting too long. There are a lack of evil players as it is, and many of them would join other evildoing guilds. I'm not trying to discourage you, just being the devils advocate 

[Frois]

OH no worries it's okay and by the way the bounty hunters will only hunt down people that have done evil things, The assassins will take out ANYONE they are paid to kill. Here's the difference. And I do enjoy when people point things out like you did, allows me to develop more haha

[novacadian]

Venorel starts making a list and then abruptly crumples it up; remembering Talad's lesson of forgiveness.

I wouldn't say evil characters joining evil guilds is his problem, it would more be the PLers catching every noob in the Tutorial
Bounty Hunters, Tefusang Company, and many more. Bounty Hunters are a... well I don't know

[Phantomboy86]

Fancy name you could use: Umbra Talea (Shadow Cutters)

I would join, but im already in a guild at my planned story arc just wouldnt allow it. However... I may be willing to do those odd side jobs for you, for a price.
