The New Mirth
« on: February 14, 2004, 05:58:37 am »
Greetings, again, O citizens of Yliakum!  Mirth is active once more, and we will strive more than ever before to spread our joy across the land.  All of you who seek to have fun and be a merry adventurer, helping others along the way, Mirth is the right guild for you!   :)  

We will never start a fight, but we will protect any innocents who are threatened.  We will heal the injured, and the sick.  We will do all we can to spread our love of life to the peoples of Planeshift, and we will stand against the evil in the world!  Join us in our quest!   :D


Organization

Mirth is led by a 5-member high council (elected by our members), and an appointed leader.   Each member is appointed a Section Leader, a specialist in their profession.  We currently have Sections for Smithing, Healing, and Adventuring, although more will be added as needed.  People of all professions are welcome, with the exception of Thieves and Assassins.  


Relations

We are currently allied with the Rangers Guild, and the Defenders.  In addition, we are guild friends with Arcane Order and the Blitzers.  

We do not support in any way the Cabal, the Dark Empire, or any other evil guild.


Our Story

Long years have passed since these tales of the Mirthful Men have been told.

These men are the ancestors of the now growing Mirth Guild. It is written that these men were wanderers. They liked to roam anywhere, everywhere and nowhere. Everone knew them, for their happy faces, and their jolly talk. They were always sharing great stories of thier adventures with any who would listen.

But, times were changing, and they were forced to settle down. In doing so they lost the one thing most dear to them all. Their Joy, their Happiness, their Mirth. Eventually, over many years, the lines of these men died out and their Mirth became a myth. Now there are few who remember the tales of their fore fathers.

But the time has come to remember the happiness that can be found in exploring the world. And that is what we are here to do. Roam these lands leaving our Mirth with all those who will have it. Putting evil and sadness aside, and restoring the good that once was done by the Men of Mirth. Now this joy is not limited to men only, but to all races as equals.

We are those who help, and do good. We are the folk of Mirth Guild.



Please take a look at our website at mirthguild.tk!  

If you would like to join us, please join our forums at http://pub22.ezboard.com/bmirthguild.  Just leave a brief introduction of yourself on our Join Us forums, and Davis or I will get back to you as soon as we can.

Cheers!   :)

Ah, so you\'re back at the helm now? I thought you said it would be longer than that?

Good luck on your new (old) position, Half Pint; and congratulations to Davis on his incident-free reign of terr--err... I mean rule of enlightenment; yes, that\'s what I meant...

Welcome back.
I\'ve got a small question about your guild believes/alignment:
Quote
1. All races are equal, but individuals may be lesser if they probe a nuisance! But Mirth Guild members are united, and above the rest.

And you considder yourself good?

Heya, good to see you\'re getting active and getting mirth going again.  I wish you luck!
Maybe we\'ll see the citadel of light finally have enough strength to knock off an evil guild.   :P
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

Trust me, they are good. He probably meant \'set above the rest\'. You can think your guild is great without having to be evil can\'t you?

he didn\'t say evil, now did he? :)
anyway, \"we are higher beings\" really doesn\'t sound \"good\" :P
actually if you choose the path of good, you\'ll probably end up staying behind others...

Well, he asked if he was sure they were good. The opposite of good is either bad or evil.

neutral isn\'t good as well...
example:
- And you considder yourself good?
- No, I consider myself neutral.

cheers! ;)

edit: ah, but a lousy victory... I\'d prefer the clash of steel on the battlefield :]

Just to clarify that point from our beliefs:

Mirth members are morally above the rest, because we see that everyone is equal.  And because we seek to spread our Mirth to all.  If we were to succeed in spreading it to everyone, all would be equal.  Until then we are morally superior because we have embraced Mirth.   8)

EDIT:  And an update:

Mirth now has 7 confirmed active members.  They are Half-Pint, Davis, Lalaland, Scobar, Yuhevon, Fanomatic and TheParias.  I\'ll update this list as more members confirm.   :)

EDIT2:  There seems to be some confusion over who is the leader of Mirth.  Davis and I are co-leaders for now, because I am still quite swamped with r/l stuff.  In most cases, Davis will be our senior representative on these forums, because I don\'t have the time at the moment.   :P

Noooo!!! Not Davis!!! LOL Ok, so why do you think you\'re morally above the rest? You see evil people as equal? Only a neutral guild can do that.

Err...  No.

We view everybody as equal in their right to live and prosper, as long as they do not encroach on the lives of others.  In other words, everyone starts off equal, but their deeds may make them otherwise.  Members of Mirth are above all others, because we have embraced the view that to kill someone who is innocent is not right.

This means that evil people are not our moral equals, but we can still respect their abilities.  We can still view them as respected enemies.   :)

Sorry if it\'s confusing..  I\'m trying to explain it as well as I can.   8)
