In preparation for the move to the main Guilds board, I'm creating a HQ thread so that the mercs will have somewhere to congregate. This is a thread for guild-related discussion, both in and out of character. When some more inter-guild activities come up, this will also be the place to plot and plan against our rivals.
Yes, I'm back. And I'll refine this thread a bit more when we organize ourselves again - include links to active Merc activities, general information about the guild, sign-up info and maybe a shiny banner or something. For now, this would be a good place to start discussing what about the guild needs to change to get more activity going. ^_^

'kay. What with the new system, one way to get the Mercs to live again is to make it closer to the original idea: A force of people up for hire. Make a Merc hiring thread, let the other guilds hire us to join them against their foes. Or have them ask us to be hired by their foes within the roleplay. Either way would work.
Of course, having our own activities would be nice too, but I can't think of anything for that.

Taking into account all the debate recently, mainly in the Fate of the Guild Boards thread, I was thinking we could offer assistance in researching and establishing lore records etc.
It's not the most exciting work, but there's not exactly a call for lots of shooting and stabbing at the moment, and it'd always help to know everything about our potential employers/adversaries? I think we could also make a little something out of saving Guilds the time and effort of having to set up the lore threads themselves.

*nod* Always good to establish our neutrality and offer our services. Since we as a guild don't have quite as much work to do with that - seeing as we've only had one major RP that lasted more or less to the end - we'd probably be able to do that, too.

Maybe we should put thread with our available services in the main board? I think we'd need more first. xD And maybe to sort out our own affairs. But then we'll be good.

*bumps* So we really need to get something going. What d'you guys want to do? We can either edit this thread into a base with all of our basic information, or create a new one, I suppose.
The things I was thinking of including:
-Basic introduction to Mercs and their purpose
-Roleplaying lore so far
-Roster
-and, eventually, Services Offered (once we figure out how these work. xD)

I say, also include a roster of the villains aswell, incase they ever pop up somewhere. A list of important places in the Mercs history, and everything you mentioned Elcy.

Yeah, and I also like your earlier idea of having some graphics in the base. ^__^ I think Rain also mentioned something like that once.
Speaking of graphics, maybe we should refine the actual base too - RP-wise. Most of the other guilds have a really iconic HQ - Mage Manor, Castle Kestrel, the White Weewoo... we should work out a design for the merc base. I think we tried this before and it fell apart... but maybe the incentive of having some floor plans and building sketches on the main thread would help get it going again. XD

*slightly late post, but* Well, whatever we do, we could use a thread in the guild lore board. XD; The mercs and the mages are the only two who don't have one now. As for floor plans, I still have that doodle I made up a while back, though it's only a vague floorplan of the ground floor. ^_^; Here. You know what, while I'm at it, I'll just link to the old thread. |

I always saw the Mercs as having like an army-barracks base, since we're meant to be an army for hire? With a training course and weapons cache and that sort of thing. I honestly don't know though, since I've not been all that active- but I'm piping up because in that picture for the Lore board every other base is really iconic, and then we're a little yellow box that could pretty much be a paper factory. xD

Well right now we know the Merc base is surrounded by forest. There is a kitchen, a bathroom, tons of bedrooms, a training area, and a basement full of vehicles, and other non-stated equipment.

XDDDD [/glow] Just a FYI, the merc!Scar and mage!Scar are two different personae so one is the drill sergeant who will call you maggot and make you do push ups and one more is the nice chronomancer |
