The Mercenary Guild; Leadership/Closure

[Zephyrus]

Well... where to begin; I have no time, and balancing everything and this guild is not easy/very much fun, plus I am not in game very much anymore... You need a better leader.

Basically what I am saying is I cant handle the guild anymore, but I don?t want it to just die, mostly because i know so many of you have invested time in drawing artworks, making flash movies and writing stories; you, the members of the guild are its strongest asset I, on the other hand am the weak link. So preferably one of you is willing to take over and manage the website and come up with ideas and occasionally make small sigs/logos on Photoshop? But if you aren?t then I am afraid the guild WILL close or merge or something.

I don\'t understand you. Posting this here will only cause fuss and trouble. Surely you have guild forums(which are more visited)?

OnT: That\'s a very noble thing to do, if you find yourself uncapable! :tup:  :diamond:

[RussianVodka]

NO ZEPH DONT LEAVE

[Quwaar]

Its a great and noble thing of you to do. Step away from your throne to make room for an other, coz you are not capable any more.

Truly a wonderes thing to do!

[Draklar]

bah, you are one of very few that I thought of being good leader :/

[Zephyrus]

yeah well the guild isnt just mine so i am happy to step down...

I am just scared no one well step forward... otherwise the guild will either be left with the most inactive leader  ever (me) or turned to dust...

And just because I am not leading anymore doesnt mean I am going anywhere Kylaksa except down in ranks i guess, lol.

And why did I post here as well as the guild forums? because if a leader isnt found in the guild then we will look outside the guild, and if one isnt found there then we may have to become a subsection of another guild or something equally wierd, and maybe even like the title says; close... That is why i posted here, because it may affect non guild members sooner or later

I am sorry to dissapoint you Draklar... life got in the way  

[Empanado]

Too bad. Anyways, it\'s better for you (and us) to leave the leadership and offer it to someone else than just lettin\' the guild die. I don\'t really know who could be the new leader tho...

Well let\'s make it this way: Any candidates to be the new leader should speak now, and we shall decide voting, each one of us. If no candidates show up, then the guild members are free to join any other guild and the Mercenary Guild shall be dismissed permanently. Or we could merge it with any other Guild.

So... candidates?

(Btw how are we going to deal with the homepage now?)

[Xordan]

Sure, I\'ll be your leader!!!

    Vote For Me!!

Exactly.

If you can\'t find an other leader: join BloodClaw Inc. I think we have very similar objectives:

Bloodclaw Inc. will create a happy and rich guild through manufacturing and retailing goods, and offering professional services - all at fair prices. We will operate a savings and loan company, engage in real estate sales and property management, participate in the stock market (and help to create one if it does not exist), provide professional consulting in many areas including business, manufacturing and agriculture.

We are not a charity. It is our goal to be the most succesful, rich and the best economic guild on Planeshift. Guild members are encouraged to present new ideas to satisfy our customers and increase guild profits through fair business practices. As our customers prosper, so will we.

We accept all races and jobs, and are Lawful Neutral. We always try to keep ourselves out of conflict and wars. Our guild is one of the most tolerant of diversity of the opinions and customs of other guilds.

Within Bloodclaw Inc. we will strive to be equally tolerant of our own members. Every effort will be made to balance the needs and desires of guild members with the common good of the guild as a whole.

I thought Mercenaries are about steel... and might...
not building stuff for money...

[Zephyrus]

LOL @ Draklar; most buildings are mighty and do have a steel infrastructure

Anyways seriously, thanks for the offer Taldor but I think thats something we will only do if nothing else works. I would even prefer Xordan as leader to becoming part of another guild, I liked our independence but I guess I am only one vote of the 20 members.

The purpose of mercenaries is to become rich by \'leasing\' (how do you say that?) themselves. More generally: Provide a service to become rich. And that\'s exactly what we do to, but we only have other sevices (builing and selling).

I meant the gereal purpose (become rich) was the same, not the service.

[Draklar]

it would be such a waste...
so many warriors made put away their weapons...

fighting is our way of life, a way to die!
you may gain money, but thing that really counts for the wielders of steel is the glory and fame and ride for pride!

[Xordan]

I suppose, if you can\'t find a leader, you could all apply to join the BISM\'s mercs, and keep your website as the merc Faction website....

And so another great guild began to fall apart ...
 You know that we are embracing new members, so you\'re all welcome to follow our paths
