The Blitzers Exordium

We the Blitzers hereby do ordain this exordium of our guild to the general public.

We the Blitzers are recognized as high knowledgeable personages that embody ourselves with predominantly nonpartisan principles. This in which we are vigilant, benignantly capitalistic, and carefully contriving for an equitable and gratifying experience in the world of Planeshift.

The Blitzers also hereby declare that in our state of unity we vow to intercede, under gird, and shield our fellowship of members. The Blitzers will conjointly accede for this guild to aim and arise. We do not wish to rule the land furthermore we wish not be ruled.

In times of contention we will bear arms. Distinct from fighting, war is such a cataclysmic circumstance, we will not choose to be embroiled in that unless it is summoned.

We dare not anathematize farther guilds nor we dare show disquietude toward them.

We hereby do ordain this exordium for the Blitzers Guild of Planeshift.

[Written by Kuiper, Arcane Scriptor of the Blitzers Guild]

Hi everyone, let us introduce ourselves, the Blitzers Guild.  The Blitzers Guild (BG) is of neutral alignment.  Our goal is to advance our members in all aspects of the game. We don\'t care what race or job you have - the more the merrier.  The guild is built for our members. We will watch over our newest members and help in any way we can.

Our guild consists of the Dinarchs, Consuln, Ringleaders, Chapterleaders, Chaptermembers, and Freelancers.

Here are some words about the Ring, Council and High Council concept of the Blitzers.

The High Council consists of the three Consuln and the Dinarchs, the Consul of War, the Consul of Information and the Consul of Commerce.  The Council consists of the six Ringleaders, who are in charge of the six Rings, the Ring of Fighters, the Ring of Rangers/Scouts, the Ring of Merchants, the Ring of Craftsmen, the Ring of Mages, the Ring of Alchemists/Enchanters and the three Consuln.

Each Ring is a broad category where many types, character classes and alignments can be present. These are represented in the form of different Chapters which can be created for every possible character concept.   In example, in the Ring of Mages, some chapters are Warlocks, Necromancers, and Druids.  If a Chapter grows in assigned members, a Chapterleader will be assigned to the Chapter, who helps the Ringleader of the Ring in which the Chapter belongs to.  Some chapters also have one secondary Ring, acquiring knowledge and skill in both their primary and secondary Rings.

Here is some information about the Rings and the current Chapters.

Ring of Merchants
Ringleader:  Namehere

Everyone who mainly sells and buys things: goods, raw materials, information, services etc. may fall under this category.

Merchants Chapters : (secondary rings)[profession]
Negotiators (Rangers/Stealth) [Negotiators]
Blitzer\'s Express (Rangers/Stealth) [Messengers]

Ring of Craftsmen
Ringleader:  Mooragan
Everyone who produces goods falls under this category: carpenters, architects, smiths, leather-workers etc.

Craftsmen Chapters : (secondary rings)[profession]
Hammer and Anvil (none)
Leatherworkers (none)

Ring of Fighters
Ringleader:  Zanoxx
Everyone who follows the way of the blade falls under this category: Knights, Paladins, Barbars, Swashbuckler, Martial Artists etc.

Fighters Chapters : (secondary rings)[profession]
Bora\'s Berzerkerzs (None) [Bodyguards]
The Hunt (Rangers/Stealth) [Hunters]
Enlightened Dark (None) [Grapplers]
The Fallen Ones (Mages Ring) [Dark Knights]

Ring of Rangers/Stealth
Ringleader:  Pogopuschel
Everyone who likes to explore the wide plains in the wilderness or the shadowy streets of the cities falls under this category: Scouts, Rangers, Explorers, Seekers, Spys, Thieves, Catburglars.

Rangers/Stealth Chapters : (secondary rings) [profession]
Claw of the Owl (Fighters) [Rogue]
Eye of the Owl (Fighters) [Snipers]
Wings of the Owl (All) [Beast Riders]

Ring of Mages
Ringleader:  Levski
Everyone who manipulates the subtle energies of Magic to produce some effects fall under this category: Warlocks, Wizards, Illusionists, Battlemages, Healers, Necromancers, Scryers, Sorcerors etc.

Mages Chapters : (secondary rings)
Archmages (None)
Warlocks (Fighters)
Necromancers (Alchemists/Enchaters)
Druids (Alchemists/Enchaters)
Shaman (Alchemists/Enchaters)

Ring of Alchemists/Enchanters
Ringleader:  Karosh
Everyone who produces goods with magical effects fall under this category: Enchanters, Alchemists, Mystic Smiths etc.

So if the Consul of Information calls for a scouting mission the Ring of Fighters may send some muscle, the Ring of Mages a Battlemage, and the Ring of Craftsmen may support with just the equipment needed and so on.

Each Ringleader may call on their members or ask for help from the other rings. It\'s not really a strict structure and every guildmember may seek instruction, teaching, and help from every ring.

About our alignment.  We are a neutral as a guild, but individually, every one is allowed to have his or her own preference on alignment.  The beuty of this arrangement is that it allows both good and evil oriented characters to work together and help each other for a common cause, that of the Blitzers Guild.

Currently, we are one of the largest and most succesful guilds in all of Planeshift.  

The Ranks of the Blitzers Guild are as follow:

9: Dinarch
8: Consul
7: Ringleader
6: Chapterleader
5: Doyen
4: Veteran
3: Disciple
2: Novice
1: Apprentice

So when you start out, you are an Apprentice, but by choosing a Ring and a Chapter to be in, you are automatically bumped up to Novice.

If you are interested in joining us, visit us at http://blitzers.dyndns.org.  Be sure to visit the forum and post your application in the Draft Board.

And always remember,
As the world changes
The Blitzers will strive
Coming together
To stay alive.

Looking good as usual, except for your neutral status why not just put that aside and take a side

@response to bottom post- I still fight for the good as a individual but my guild chooses to fight for the money which i dont mind taking as well

[Icefalcon]

Anyway, good luck Blitzers. I had always enjoyed browsing through your picture gallery on your website.

[Monketh]

Bah, I go and write a new thread, then you come and outdo me...
*hands the blitzers some kind of award*

[Levski]

Actually, this has been in the works since July 7th......... but thanks .  The image at the top took a long time, particularly.  It was really a guild effort.

[Levski]

A big welcome to Elentirus who has joined our guild!

[Ecolem]

68 Members and 122 forum members up to date , just joined a couple of weeks ago...best guild ever

[Annah]

Very nice indeed. What can I say ... Good Luck Levski.
 This guild evolved so much and so fast. No offence meant, by I must admit I didn\'t even hear of it until a few months ago
 Though, you\'re one of the best organized guilds, and most active around.
 I hope you\'ll think very well at the possibility to join the Planeshift Council, because it really needs someone like you

This is a sad sad day. How is it not possible for you to have heard of them?  

[Phinehas]

Hey Levski, keep up the good work, make sure it all goes well, etc. etc. etc. But leave a little time for... other projects.

[lynx_lupo]

Heh, like Levski is running it. You people don\'t give enough credit to this organisation\'s true leaders.

[Phinehas]

Like?

Do not confuse what you wrote and what others have written. Also, give some credit to Kwartz; he did the image for us way back. So, all you (whoever all participated in it) had to do was add the border and background.

this has been in the works since July 7th.

Although, the ideas have been around for a long time. You didn\'t change much from the site, so if you want to be *technical*, then it has been in the works for a long time, as the Blitzers never had a proper thread besides the very first one and it was a throw-together one that lead to the site, mainly.

To Annah: Maybe because you are ignorant to guilds created BO? I know you heard of BG at one time, because you bashed/flamed the hell out of them (us at the time) when it started out.

To Phinehas: You just mention Levski, like he did most of this; which is false. He posted it here, yes, but he did not do as much as you, or anyone else, think.

To lynx_lupo: What do you mean by true leaders? The ones now? Heh, good try, but over 50% of these ideas came from way back. (Yes, when Hevrah And Skain were the leaders, I was in it and a few others) Only the newer chapters and stuff came recently, but the basis of the guild was originated before Levski, Bora, and all the other members. (Literally, too many to name.)

So, all-in-all, yea I seem pissed, but this is just the way I am. I call it like I see it; always.

[Levski]

Hmm, well I\'m just a Ringleader (of the Mages, rank 7).  Manden and Bora are the Dinarchs.  And I wouldn\'t have anyone else be my boss (well, in Planeshift).

And Faldie, I said composed, not written .  Also, the part that Kuiper wrote in the top is not a product of the days you are talking about, and neither is most of the rest.

Faldie, current leaders.  Bora and Manden.  Phosphus, Saz, and Dvornik.  Yes, we have had other leaders in the past.  But it is our current ones who lead the guild today.

The ad had been in the works since July 7th.  Not the organization .  Which was founded over a year ago by Hevrah and Skain.  Who are no longer with us.

In truth, I don\'t see why you are mad Faldie.  Some people got the wrong idea, that\'s all.  I never claimed to be the leader of this guild, or to have written the whole ad.

To sum it up, yes Faldie, many of the ideas came from Hevrah, Skain, yourself, and others who started off the guild.  But you are, unfortunately, no longer with us.  That does not mean, however, that our guild does not continue to grow and to evolve as new ideas and new members join.
