Hey all! *waves* ^_^
Vanguard is in beta 5. Release is around the corner. REJOICE!
Be merry! ^_^
I have this idea for a guild dedicate solely to nature.
This post by Chaotico got me to thinking, and when I was petting my dog I came up with this idea. It can be a guild with conflict (due to the dedication to nature), largely race-based (assuming the majority turn to be elves), and the ability to have all sorts of fun and varying role-playing opportunities!
NAME - I was thinking of a name, and I like "Harmony of Nature", but this is just one of plausible names. A few I have also contemplated on are: Bound by Nature, Nature's Defenders, Stronghold of Nature.
STRUCTURE - A largely loose structure seems appropriate. Six persons of the guild are in a head "circle" which will be dubbed a name--"Circle of Six", "Nature's Head", "Ruling Circle"--something along these lines. A head of the circle, and the other 5 have pretty much all the power the head does. This circle is also symbolic of the circle of life!
The guild would be very much ruled by the people, with the circle making final decisions based for the guild based on what everyone seems to want. As I said, a very loose structure.
RANKS - Ranks will deem position within a guild, and are based off of animals. For example, if you are an Okami Wolf, you are just under the Circle. As a Bear, you are under the Wolves. Spiders are under Bears, and under them all (people being considered into the guild) is the Deer, or perhaps Mouse. A Hawk could perhaps be a person charged with the duty of keeping an eye on guild happenings and behavior. These ranks are in flux currently.
RP - A very heavy RP guild, nearly all /say and /shout being in-character. If guilds can create their own channels, perhaps a RP guild channel and a separate OOC chat channel.
SIZE - Mid-size I would say to be the goal. Small enough to be a "family-style" guild, yet large enough to fill the story of the guild.
The above IC post was to get a feel for this guild. The city is of choice--New Targonor, Ahgram, etc. The actual history of the guild would be different depending on how many and of which race we begin with.
I know there are many guilds available, but I have found none like this. Feel free to post, PM me, etc. if you are interested, or with comments and whatnot!
God's Peace
