Forming a Group in Syliras?

Sigriet can still be counted in.

I'm very very sorry about this, Goss, Genryuu, Ronan, Crypt, everyone. I have no excuse, I really thought it was okay.

Naw it's all cool Radiant, we appreciated your enthusiasm and support

Radiant, we all really thought it was okay. So don't worry about it. We just need to make some changes to our original design and see if it is accepted then. we're still willing to create this group so if you're still willing to help us moderate a starting thread whenever we get this thing started, it would be much appreciated.

If you got an all-clear sign from Accolade and Goss, then yes, I would be happy to moderate you.

I'm really impressed.... (read that as sarcasm). Half of your group was one single person posing as multiple pcs. I've retired all this individuals alts after he refused to retire some 16 of his PCs and tone it down to just five. This does not bode well.

How are you going to pass out flyers? No printing press in Sylras. Again, I'm not sure the knights will tolerate an organized mercenary group under their noses. This might be better done in another city - like Sunberth - where all you will have to do is deal with the syndicate.

The group in Alvadas was a PC group so you won't find it in the wiki. Some really powerful mages were involved. I'll let them deal with you IC if they get active again. They all had individual masks too.

So far... I'm not sure this is workable or feasible. To be a good mercenary group, you have to have a reputation and there has to be a need. You can't make a reputation if folks don't know who you actually are. Anyone could don a mask and mess with your rep and how would you know who it was? People don't TRUST masked folks. Syliras has a low tolerance for crime and the roads are patrolled between Zeltiva and Riverfall so its fairly safe. I'm not sure what sort of 'contracts' you'd take. Killings? The knights would shut you down. Escorts? No need on the road... and none of you have any sort of wilderness survival skills to be guards going straight through the woods to say Ravok or Sunberth. Bring back a rare pelt for a skin dealer that wants one? No one has hunting. Mercenaries exist for war and non-peaceful times. Syliras is at peace because of the Knight's ruthless ability to enforce the laws which are fair and just. There's no politics among you, no diplomacy, no negotiation, and I can't think of anything magic would be helpful with. I checked your stats everyone.. and just kind a shook my head.

What would a 'mercenary' group actually do? Nothing I can really think of that would be required in Sylira.

Radiant is a new AS and is doing a great job, but she might not know these things.

Ok, time for Plan C(or was it D now?)! Perhaps we could just be. Group of people looking for adventure, so we recruit people together for a small get together as the original idea, but afte some battles and close scrapes, te group decides to make this group a more permanent(?) type of thing, recruiting people to tackle harder areas filled with more creatures an more rewards.

I think you should make another thread for it, Shiyami. This one is far too chaotic and wrong already.

And oh, Genryuu has been banned (for very rude behavior in the HD) and Simon and Firo have retired so yeah, I think a new thread is in order, if you so wish it.
