Right.... so... this is a role-playing guild, huh?
No s**t, sherlock.
I'm a wolf! *bark bark pees on your leg*
This sort of n00bish behaviour will result in banning and you being made a laughing stock of. It's a realistic wolf RP - meaning no powers, wings, curses, blessings, breathing fire, turning into a human, part-humans or anything of the sort. If you wish, you can be a hybrid, say, part-wolf, part-dog or fox... any other canine. So long as it's plausible, it'll probably be accepted.
What's the deal with ranks? How does the system work?
Check the ranks for more information. It's very simple; Alphas are at the top. They run this pack. Under the Alphas is the Beta; the second-in-command, and the Gammas; the advisers. They deal with new wolves, punishments, help agree on promotions, demotions etc. Then there is the Guard; they're in charge of things when The Alphas and other Elites aren't around, and is split into the two factions of Vanguard (attacking forces) and Safeguard (defensive forces).
Under the Guard are the Epsilons - those apprentices training to be a part of the Guard. Regular members come next, rank equal to the Iotas, or yearling wolves. They're not old enough to be adults, but they're not pups either. Pups are next; fairly self-explanatory.
Psi are the third lowest rank; wolves demoted for the wrong actions end up in this dishonourable rank. Then you have Taus; these are new wolves, those recently joined the pack. If you are a Tau, you are under examination, almost; working out your strengths and weaknesses and where best you can fit into the pack. The Omega is the lowest ranking wolf.
Oh I get it... so, I can be promoted and demoted then? How?
Good behaviour will put you in good favour with the Elite and I; bad will put you at odds. Do very well and you're more likely to get promoted; same works the other way. If you're a trouble-maker, you're likely to be punished and demoted.
Do we get our own packs?
No. Perhaps later, but not at the moment.
Can I be a lone wolf?
I'm still thinking on it. Not on the offset, no. If you commit a crime so outrageous it should end in your death or banishment, then you may well be exiled from the pack... But wolves are pack animals, they thrive on companionship. Lone wolves, by nature; don't last long. At least not so close to a pack's territory.
Do I have to RP in the threads within the subforums, or can I make my own?
Try and use the threads given; but they can understandably become crowded. If you make your own thread, you need to follow the same scheme all other threads have - it must have a poll, it must have an area title/location, and the first post must be a brief description of the area, and where possible - include a pic. It's nice, I understand, to have your own den. So if you can find a suitable pic to match the location you want it; that'll be your own little thread. If you take a mate and move into their den, your den will become Abandoned; and free for someone else to use if they wish. However, you must ask permission to make your thread; or alternatively, ask a Mod (myself, preferably; as I deal with creation) to create one for you.
Can I be a Mod? Please?
PM me and we'll talk. You should include reasons for why you want to be part of the Crew, how you can benefit the guild, how often you're online; things like that. If your reason is, "I wanna see the Crew's subforums!" Then my answer will be no.
Okay, I have my profile typed... now where do I post it?
Go to the Clan Directory subforum and simply make a new topic. biggrin Post your profile there according to the Profile Skeleton provided... and then wait for a member of the Crew to post and let you know whether your character(s) are accepted or not. If not, we'll tell you what needs to be amended.
Could you tell me where the best place to start? I'm not sure where I should start? Which is the best area to introduce my character into the roleplay?
Anywhere you want. There are many different locations. If you want to start something by yourself, then find a thread where no-one has posted yet, and start there. Alternatively, skim-read whats been going on in a thread which looks interesting and see if you can join in - just like any other RP thread. biggrin
I'd like to donate to the Guild!
Thank you very much for your support! The Guild actually has in excess of 70k in gold,which is more than enough to add Subforums, so please do not donate! Just add ideas both IC and OOC!
