Any interest in a gentleman's (or woman's) guild?

Marcato · Post by **Marcato** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 5:24 pm

Hello everyone. Now that I'm almost at the goal of 500k for a guild, I thought I'd check if there is any interest in a guild for real gentlemen (and women).

Guild rules include but are not limited to:

1) Do not killsteal. Yes, that goes for giants as well.

2) Do not steal. This includes not stealing drops from other players. You are allowed to play as a trader or a hunter, but not a thief. You are, of course, allowed to have another character that is a thief.

3) Help your fellow traders. If another trader is attacked, help him unless it poses a direct threat to your own life (in other words, if you're lvl 20, you're not expected to help someone who is attacked by a lvl 40 thief).

4) Be civil. Do not throw tantrums when people do you wrong. Tell them politely that you feel mistreated and try to make them see the error of their ways.

5) No cheating, no bots.

I would be looking from traders, hunters and healers (people who tag along to help out by fighting npc thieves/monsters and healing other players). Level 20 and up (lvl 23 and up preferable for hunters).

And perhaps most importantly:

6) Be as helpful as you can towards new players. You were all n00bs at one point or another, and I don't think you liked being picked on then. So don't do it just because you've reached lvl whatever.

Also:

7) No cheating n00bs (or others) by deliberatly marking up prices. I've seen new players asking where they could buy arrows, and people with stalls telling them to come there and buy, selling them arrows for two, three or four times as much as they cost at the blacksmith. This is neither cool nor honorable.

I am a very nice person in-game. I'm always helping noobs. But I do get angry at KSers and disrespectful people in the game, so I might want to murder one once in a while.

Can I join when I get to a higher level? I'm only 16 at the moment, but I try to play every day so I will be 20 in no time.

IGN is same as my name here.

No problems.

Meth0d - I've seen you around, I think. Recognise the name.

Feel free to come aboard.

Shall we set up a time and place to meet up in game? I normally play evenings Est

If you would like we can pool some gp to get this started, I've also been saving to start a guild.

Nah, that's ok, I got the money now, but I need a name for the guild...

EDIT: Done.

I am now the guildmaster of [TheGentlemen], short for The Gentlemen's Trading Association. As soon as I figure out how to add members I'll do that.

No, you most certainly will not. In SuicideGrl's Outrage Column you said, about picking on low level player "I wil and im not just saying that because im his bro if it can be done why not?"

Did you even read the guild rules I posted? About behaving nicely and helping others? In what way is picking on low-level players helping them? It's players like you that unfortunately makes guilds like this necessary.

Nope, I don't think so. I've read everything in the help file, but that didn't do much. I open up the community window and press "invite", thinking that I could type in a name, but nothing happens. Weird.

Meth0d · Post by **Meth0d** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 11:19 pm

Perhaps the invite must be done in the same manor that a party invite is made. My IGN is Athene if you want to meet up and figure it out.

Aolus · Post by **Aolus** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 1:02 am

I'm on the Athens server and would love to join. I don't have much of a posting record here, so if you would like to speak with me for a while about my views on the game (or life in general) before deciding if I am right for your guild or not, please do so. my in game name is aolus and I'm doign a Str/bow build.

Hon.. you have to click on the character, open up the Community window and then press invite

Try that instead.

that was my big bro he is lvl 25 the only thing i dnt lk about noob is when they ks your monsters

canadian_1 · Post by **canadian_1** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 3:18 pm

I am a level 26 canadian with no job started yet.I am really not sure of the direction this game is taking to decide on a guild.One thing i have noticed is that you better be closer to level 30 if you want to be a hunter or helpout on a run.
I totally respect the type of guild you are forming ,because frankly i have seen nothing but rude players in the game.I can only guess by the names they have that the majority of rude players are either asian or most likely very young punks.KS is brutal in the game.I'm not talking close calls ,i'm talking blatant KS that you have been engaged in and wasting several potions,then a higher level with enraged on comes in and steals.I have always been helping out guild runs when i see them attacked ,but even at level 26 there is some red thiefs that can kill you with there ice/damage/freeze.[usually the bowman].[ice/freeze is overpowered in game needs to be nerfed]
If the game is still around in beta/free by say march20,i'll join if you wish as a hunter of course i always hate the thiefs.I say mar20 because i should be level 30 by then.

Hi jetjetjetjet and canadian_1,

Glad to hear you interested in joining the guild. We still have some spaces left to be filled and I'm sure we can accomodate both of you into the guild as and when you both feel ready to join. My IGN is Kard so you can look me up when you're online. I will keep a lookout for you both as well. I'm trying to get in touch with OneManArmy1 as well.

I will give a little piece of advice here. Yes it is safer to be in your 30's before you help out during a run or be a hunter. I'm close to 30 and I will probably be hitting 30 sometime before the next weekend. A 1 star trade is generally safe, except for low stooping cheating thieves, but that can always be worked around too.

Just to address what you say canadian_1, let us not judge that it maybe asians. I am asian myself and perhaps it maybe a shame that there are asians who would resort to cheating/botting etc to do whatever they want to do, there are others of any other ethnicity who would do the same. It's not the ethnicity, it is the mentality. It doesn't neccessarily mean that they might be young punks either. I'm not a teenager but that doesn't stop me from \/\/r|7|n9 1337 coz I roxxor N I kan pwn uR @$$ (that reads as: writing leet cos I rock and I can kick your butt). Any of us can be act like kids if we want to be.

I think, most of us here, are legitimate players who wish to keep the game fair and clean for everyone else and making gaming as fun as possible. But like what others have said... for every good guy, there will always be 10 or 100 jerks out there.

Take a stand, and put justice into action cause the power is yours!
... I sounded like Captain Planet. haha... kidding... I'm sure Marcato will be delighted to have you both in the guild.

WiSe_HeRo · Post by **WiSe_HeRo** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 4:52 pm

Hey there, this sounds like a good guild!

If there are any spaces left do you think I could join? I'm kind of feeling lonely with all the children guilds around.

I'm lvl 22 btw =)

Kard · Post by **Kard** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 8:11 pm

Hi WiSe_HeRo,

Received your PM. You can whisper me in game when you're on. You didn't leave behind your IGN so I can't really get in touch until you whisper me.

Looking to hear from you

WiSe_HeRo · Post by **WiSe_HeRo** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 6:58 am

It's WiSe HeRo, i'll try PM you when you're online.

My Fiance and I just started the game. We are both under level 20 at the moment. In real life we are age 20+. I am browsing guilds at the moment, this looks like a nice one.

Do you guys use Teamspeak or anything to voice chat?

We haven't, and I don't plan on doing it either - but I'm not against it, so if you want to, that's fine with me.

I'm interrested in joining. I'm easygoing and tons of fun (lol). My only problem is that I just started playing and I'm >20...
