There are worse guilds out there to join, good luck with the mercenaries Depth; I\'m sure they will bring you wealth beyond measure. I see you chose Cerberus Division, interesting choice.

Aye Thank you *bows*! Yes being active is one thing you won\'t after to worry about me not doing, and I plan on gaining as much foothold as I can in the ranks of Mercenaries! This game needs less leaders and more dedicated members and I have donated myself to the cause.

I mean with that arrangement you can still sell tham out as its more of a buisiness deal than a pact.


We might have preffered costomers though  ;)

It could be like protection money... A craftsman guild will make us armour and weapons, and for that we will get rid of their compotition..

Payment method should always vary, some guilds might not have a whole bunch of money but like R.V said maybe its a craftsguild making armor and weapons. Make a fair exchange with what they have as the reward, that could go for cooking guilds, etc...We will need those things to and if we are primarily just doing Mercenary work will we have that time to go off into those things?

@lynx - although this guild is neutral and only concerns itself with customers i still hold the right to go off on my own and fight my own battles under my beliefs and if people choose to join me thats just FINE!

Of course, we are totally neutral until paid to do otherwise, so our individual members, as long as they break no rules, can do basically whatever they want.

Sure you do, but what can one bee do to a man? Nothing but a temporary wound. It takes a swarm to kill one.

And it\'s naive to think that such acts wouldn\'t interfere with the guild.

*joins in* \"Cheers\"...

Cadoras was just too good (or bad :D ) for us I guess.

Little news update. We have a new member, welcome Kamezero. He appears to be a promising member, along with Cloud.
