The Rangers Guild ~ Recruiting
« on: July 20, 2004, 04:05:01 am »

http://www.freewebs.com/therangersguild/


Announcements:
-I just launched the new site, although I\'m waiting to get into contact with Sep.  It was finished thanks to an all-day hack-sign music-powered html-a-thon, which really helped grease those rusty html code wheels in my brain.  A new site merits a new and re-written thread.  I hope to make a fresh start.  
Do not post in the other thread.
~~Visser has been accepted into the guild.
~~\"Who we\'re looking for\" revised. Jul. 24.
~~Ineluke has been accepted into the guild. Jul. 27
----Xpytz is back!  I didn\'t doubt that he\'d come back eventually.  Aparrently life\'s been coming at him hard lately, and he hasn\'t had much time.
----Quwaar has been deemed as \"Inactive\" because of his, well...  inactivity.
~~Quwaar made note of his existance and has been deemed \"Active\" as such. :P Jul. 28
----Visser, Grumly, removed from guild because of inactivity.  Aug. 29
----Minor Site Update : Lhoran Bio added, and Monketh Bio updated.  Sept. 22
----Oligarchy-type rule re-established.  Q, X, and M.  Nov. 19
~~Cobaltblue\'s \'probationary\' status removed.

We are recruiting. We\'re looking for those who would like to learn how to roleplay, all the way to expert roleplayers. Don\'t know how? Just ask. Leadership positions are availible based on skill and attitude.

What is the rangers guild?
Founded in September of 2003, the Rangers Guild is a guild for exploring, fun and roleplaying.  The Guild consists of the standard nine levels, with three oligarchs planned to lead at it\'s head, followed by the leaders of the three sections: Hunters, Coverts, and Druids.  Guild members will share resources, pooling them for \'big ticket items\', like flying transportation.    

What does your guild do?
We offer a home and supporting community for our members while interacting with the world of Yliakum.

What is your guild\'s alignment?
The Guild\'s alignment is officially neutral, although any and all alignments will be accepted into the guild.

How is your guild organized?
It\'s rather simple.
The Masters control general aspects of governance in the guild, as well as goals and responsibilities, but must be with the whim of the rest of the guild.  Section leaders control the day-to-day operations and specific actions of the corresponding sections, together with their assistant section leaders.  You may disobey an unreasonable request, but that action will be judged later by the masters council.

Say, what were those ranks you were talking about named?
Straggler  (Disciplinary, or inactive)
Traveller
Roamer
Tracker
Ranger
Sentinel
Lieutenant
Commanding Officer/Council Member
Master

What is your guild\'s history?
Prologue:

A long time ago, nigh in the morning of the second age, a ynnwn by the name of Enraged arrived in the town of Hydlaa. He had aspirations of greater glory, and gathered all those who would come to him in the guild of the Legendary Warriors. Those who stayed over time would, in fact achieve that goal, to become the legendary. However, many who came did not stay, and the roster was filled with hollow names, no longer important to anyone.

Some of the ones destined to that greater glory were Monketh, Grakrim, Seperot, Draklar, Rayna, Arbraz, Tranor, and Druke, Shadowx still lingers on occasion. Several guilds have formed from its Ruins. Well, anyway, for a time \'twas good. The Legendary Warriors prospered, \'twas said \"The Sun never sets on the Legendary Warriors\". They were common, and they were generally respected throughout these parts. Their post-forum thrived, their ruby packs were full, and they were happy. Their leader was more rude than his members, however. He caused disputes between himself and other guilds. One member in particular Draklar, got so annoyed that he left with a good complement of the guild and founded The Defenders Brotherhood. The Circle of Legends was one of those who had been annoyed. One \'Holy Hacker\' firebombed himself and the post-forum of the Legendaries. Enraged grew more paranoid by the day. He went ballistic on the leaders of the Circle of Legends, and he would regret it.

This is what really led to the inevitable end. The decline continued until such time that Enraged saw fit to remake the guild as: The Rangers Guild, Seperot would use his house (site) as the hub of communications. Enraged would become simply, \"Ranger\". But the tide was against him, Grakrim, Seperot, and Monketh held an emergency meeting to decide their fate. They decreed it was unsafe to allow Enraged to stay, as he might bring the end to the guild. They set out on their own with Tranor and Shadowx. Thus ended the time of the Legendary Warriors, past halfway into the Second age. It lives on in those members who stayed and gave.

Chapter One:
The Rangers Guild was the last guild to form from the ruind of The Legendary Warriors. Its founding members were Seperot, Grakrim, and Monketh. After a short time they were joined by Tranor of the Order of Naugrim, and Shadowx, another old Legendary. A small but tight-knit group, they slowly grew on the fringe, spied on other guilds, and even acquired the celebrated Lady Moogie, whom has now gone on the become a High Priestess of Aliathi. Various decrees were writ, structure was created, rubies were mined and extracted, activity and times were good.

One of the decrees was even to create another realm to the liking of the rangers. (Guild RPG) It, however, never got beyond planning stages. But all guilds fall to the will of time. No active recruiting drive had been set up, so restlessness began its slow invasion. Eventually, the guild\'s forum-house burned to the ground. The guild began to fall apart, so much so that another emergency meeting had to be called.

The three Masters gathered again to decide the fate of the guild.

Chapter Two:
It was decided that leadership would be given solely to Monketh while Grakrim and Seperot departed. Seperot continued to host the guild in his house (site). In the begining, Monketh was helped richly by his advisor, Lynx Lupo. Lynx helped place the guild in a stable setting and organize it\'s basic mechanisms. XpYtZ, and Quwaar, who had applied previously, were immediately entered into the guild.

Eventually, Lynx and Tranor left to take their seperate paths. A ynwnn by the name of Grumly was admitted into the guild, holding much experience. He was taken by restlessness. Nearing the dawning of the new age, a revitalization project began. Unfortunately, XpYtZ dissappeared during its middle, grinding it to a halt. The guildmaster had begun his own project to recreate the guild eventually, but his constant travel prevented him from getting much done.

Chapter Three:
Site relaunch occured on Jul-19-04...

What are your guild\'s prinicples?
The Rangers will never initiate a conflict, but response to one will be swift and dramatic.
Rangers will not harm other rangers in any way.

Who are you looking for?
Our guild is a guild of Rangers, ones who wander the world.  Guild members may specialize in any form of combat, and/or any tradeskill they desire to.  We are seeking novice to expert roleplayers (or willing to learn)and persons of good attitude and spirit who are willing to learn.  
Need help with your backstory?  Want to learn ow to rp?  Just ask.

How can I join?

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

Well, the new website looks good, though I never realized you only had 4 member, 2 of which are away. Nice detailed post youve got here. Outside of my guild I regard you as a friend Menketh, though my guild comes first. In times of peace I always see the Rangers guild as an ally, though it is not offical and can never be. :))

Thank you.

Look out Planeshift!  A massive Recruiting Drive Mega-thon is inbound!  It\'s time to reinvigorate this guild and bring it up from the dead.

...now if I could only get that car salesman accent down...  :P

Yeah, really nice work Monketh :)

I have to admit that when i started the Rangers and the blitzers were the ones that i wanted to join. i really couldn\'t decide which one i should choose, so i just sat back and said: if i meet bora first ingame i will join the blitzers and if i meet monketh i\'ll join the rangers.

Well, my sig tells you who i met first :D
Don\'t Panic!

Heh heh, I only know basic html.  So, this was the best I could conjure.  It\'s simple and it works.  It also fits on a single page in wordpad.

Looks good Monketh!

For the site I suggest putting another background, not just plain green...

Edit:  Maybe a snapshot of a forest?

Welcome back to Hydlaa once more, Monketh. I am very much looking forward to what more news you have brought us from the lands far away, yet I also hope your stay will be a longer one this time. Many things have changed in the past few months, although there\'s still the one or other known face in the crowd among many passer-bys and new friendly people.
I wish you the best for you, your guild, and any prospect members soon to come.

Ah, best of luck to Monketh and all Rangers, current or impending.

As for the site, I rather like the design. Simple and clean, easy on the eyes.

It doesn\'t get much better than the Rangers, folks.  They may not be as flashy as the others, but there\'s more meat here than most of the other guilds combined.

Just had to come here and say that I took a look at your forums... I especially like the way that you have your recruitment set up in tests.

Levski runs his beard through his fingers thinking.  Maybe I should set up these sort of tests in the Mages Ring in the Blitzers?

Edit:  Congrats to Visser for joining such a worthy guild!

And on another note:

Welcome to seperot.com/rangers, the Ranger Guild\'s home page.


It\'s http://www.freewebs.com/therangersguild right?  And maybe you should point out in your history on the main page that Seperot and Grakrim aren\'t there anymore, and that it is just you leading.
