[A][RP-PvP] The Tiragarde Offensive

Guild Name: The Tiragarde Offensive
Guild Type: Heavy RP-PvP, Horde mostly killed on sight.
Tabard:

"Unique" Factor: One of the few RP-PvP Guilds, Located in a Horde Continent.
Basic Plot: Destroy the Horde, Unite Azeroth under the forces of Kul Tiras. "Stooping so low as to even openly allow Warlocks into their ranks".
Guild Forums: [To Edit]
IC Guild Meetings: Weekly, Friday 7pm, Tiragarde Keep.
Event Ideas: Attacking Horde Cities, Marching through Duotar, RP Meetings and other RP events.
Recruitment Methods for New Members: Post on our Guild Forums, Send me an IC Letter or IC Interview
IC Guidelines:
1) No Mary Sues/Vampires etc.
2) No Power/God-Emoting
3) Show no mercy to any Horde when IC, and only to those of a far lower level when OOC (Showing mercy when OOC is Optional).
4)On the otherhand, in contrast to rule 4, be loyal. If the Guildmaster says "Don't attack!" then don't. I'm referring more to OOC than IC here, meaning if we have a cross-faction RP event.
OOC Rules:
1) Obviously, obey Blizzard Rules
2) Guild Chat is IC
3) Join the OOC Channel
The OOC Channel: /join TTOChat

----------------------------------------------

Will be further edited with any updated ideas people come up with.

This is the basic template, any suggestions and/or ideas? Opinions, perhaps?

I never understood IC /g.

What is the point? People will just spam OOC channel anyway.
Learned that the hard way... 4 times...

Agreed with Marrenus here. IC guild chat will hardly be used and only mistypes will be typed.

Anyway, good luck with assaulting lowbie hordes in hostile territory. Most will be blueshielded anyway. That's the biggest flaw I can find here. The lack of a clear, easy to reach RP hub could be a member blocker as well.

Anyway, best of luck if you are pushing this idea regardless, even though I'd suggest thinking it through a bit more!

RPing in a ruined keep? Good luck to that, I'd say.

As for the IC guild chat, OotRB has been maintaining it for years now, and it's been successful without a problem. I think it really adds to our RP, in fact, without it having to be some kind of metagaming.

An IC guild chat also keeps green spam to a minimum. Not every role-player fancies that. With a seperate channel you can opt not to join if you feel like staying In Character

Top uses for IC guild chat:

5%: Roleplaying;

15%: Trying to roleplay with next to zero reaction from the others;

70%: Linking quests or items that were mentioned in the OOC channel.

So might aswell make a channel for roleplaying and /g for OOC, making item / quest links good to go without brackets.

Correction, there, lad. There's absolutely no reason to link quests or items there, since several patches now. You can link them in any channel.

Like I said: it keeps chat spam to a minimum if players dont feel like discussing random stuff. If you however do want to chat OOC you can easily do that -- in a seperate channel. You can´t really turn off guildchat, right?

Anyway, good luck with the guild. It doesn´t really tickle my fancy -- being an NPC-filled region for low level players and all -- but it might spice up role-play in the Barrens a bit.

EDIT: Correction, I meant Durotar, which strikes me as odd. Isn´t that place just a ruinous pile of bricks?

You can filter it off, from the chatbox options, actually. But I fear we might be borderline derailing, now.

I'm afraid that this guild would / will be destroyed by the pure fact of horde PvPers getting to know about it. If you insist in being ganked 24/7, sure. Go on!

Good luck!

True, the wall is destroyed, but the Keep itself isn't destroyed and there are still Friendly Kul Tiras NPCs there.

Infact, that's the reason I said it'll be RP-PvP. I expect to be attacked, and expect the guild to fight back.

And what about the early phase of the guild? Assuming you won't have too high numbers at the beginning?

We put up with it, I assume. I will, however, prepare in the fact that I will only use Tiragarde Keep after the guild has at least 10 active members.

Very well! Ten members should be enough to handle some of the threats! I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks.

Any ideas on what my recruitment Message in-game could be? I'm struggling to think of one...

Fixed.

I understand I'm flaming / being racist, but...

HOW THE HECK IS A GNOME WARLOCK LEADING KUL TIRAS MARINE SQUAD?!

Where's Captain Obvious when I need him!

Leading the squad? Not necessarily. That's like saying "How does DRS lead Ironforge?". No, we don't lead them, we're merely a separate faction within the Marines themselves. As for how I joined them, the story is here.
