[A] Section Seven - Stealth RP PvP Guild \ (Gauging Interest)

Just a heads up to see if anyone here would be interested in a Rogue, Druid & Hunter only guild. This is just a brain dump
ATM and will eventually be ironed out to form (hopefully) a small loyal bunch of RP'ers which a passion for Si:7 RP.
I know Jayse did the whole Si:7 concept utilising Si:7 members from many guilds and that worked well. But I've been wanting
to see an actual Si:7 guild around Alliance RP for awhile now. S7 will only accept Rogues, Druids & Hunters due to their Stealth
game mechanic because nearly all of the events will require this. I was only going to accept Rogues (Alliance version of Vile Thorn)
but I think that would just be limiting my recruitment and overall the RP of the guild.

Event wise, I run the typical Dungeon Master type of thing after an initial plan & discussion with other guildmembers,
aswell as IC Battlegrounds which turn any boring AV into great fun RP! I won't be using crazy gadgets but will utilise in lore/game items.
If this takes off and we have the numbers I'd like to have a ranking structure that places 3 players from each class to lead a unit of 2 or 3
of each of said classes. This is a rough breakdown of ranks that are attainable through RP events & PvP tasks:

Si:7 Unit Commander GM of guild.
Si:7 Unit Leader Officer, Leads 2 or 3 of same class. Attainable after showing IC leadership and swearing a blood oath to Shaw.
Si:7 Operative Attainable after probationary period as an apprentice and swear loyalty to the crown.
Si:7 Apprentice First rank once joining the guild, probation period starts here.

GHI will be used extensively aswell as MyRoleplay addons. Guildchat will be IC. There is no level requirement to join.
The guild is Lvl 25 so levelling within it will be swift.

IC'ly we are part of Si:7, with the coming of 5.1 and the awesome WpVp that arrives with it, we will bring
the Alliance covert slice of RP which will entail World PvP, IC Battlegrounds, IC War Games & IC Horde intel hunts.
I've lead the Shattered Hand RP Horde side as my main was Kaigron, so I've done this type of thing before.
Any questions feel free to ask away, I'll be tidying this all up soon as its late now and as stated earlier is just an brain dump!

Thumbs up.
Good luck with this!

Hm, good idea, but i'd like to know what are your thoughts on the NPC Team sent into pandaria. I have no idea what the dwarf would be (just mechanic?), but the draenei, for sure isn't anything of the above.

Probably they are like "support". Although those are more in terms of Field Medics, Engineers. (Maybe squeze a Priest in there or Shaman and they ICly have first aid and so, maybe a Mage who uses illusion - obviously dressed for work on the field not like "I'm gonna pray to the light now in my new fancy robes!") But i'm not sure to what extent you're going to take BGs IC.

Offtopic: I feel bad for any only rogue Guilds atm

Mishka is actually a rogue or hunter. She is capable of stealth, while her main weapon is a bow, and she uses mundane forms of healing (first aid, surgery, etc), not priestly magic.

So, she was one of the above.

Thanks, was not sure since i didn't see her in action too much.Then I'll rephrase my question!

Will the units in the IC guild have about the same compisition? As in Someone more trained in Medical arts, and so on.

...a rogue or hunter.

Hunter is the better bet, but i guess even with Stelth her Priority would be Giving medical attention, plus spy missions aren't really for her -> for one of the obvios reason why Tauren and Draenei can't be very good at sneaking around.

Aww man, this would have been quite something if Jayse was still around to see this.

Ah well. Good luck.

Not saying that it isnt something to see just because he is not around anymore?
Personally I think the old version of the player-run Si:7 was far to humane. Will be intresting to follow this new project and see how it turns out.

Seems good, I'd suggest making anyone who joins even on probation take an oath to the crown tough. Also: Will people be allowed to be a part of the organization even if they are outside the guild and wouldn't you feel the tag may cause metagaming?

I'll be in touch.

Or in other words to an oath to Braiden

Ahhh, Kaigron!

I look forward to seeing you in the shadows.

The guild tag often provokes metagaming as Braiden mentioned which is why Jayse only had a guild on the side for anyone who would like to be in a guild.

Indeed. people see it, and make sub concious assumptions.

Hence the horde equivelent i'm working on will be a non-guild group. Nor will it be advertised on these forums, or known about by outsiders.

Nice initiative man, this aswell with Melnerags RP-PVP guild should bring about some more fun, violent times!

Thanks for the questions and the replies!

"...what are your thoughts on the NPC Team sent into pandaria?"
Purely there to rescue the White Pawn, an elite team bringing different flavours to the pot, with each one being
utilised for fun quests. IC'ly they are the best of the best for obvious reasons!

"...what extent you're going to take BGs IC?"
Good question that will need extensive research and development on my part, below is something of the top of my head so far.
We will communicate IC'ly through /party or maybe a separate IC channel for BG's.

WSG/EotS/Twin Peaks = Typical capture the flag, where the flag can be RP'd as a possible weapon that needs diffusing
(holding the flag at our base) whilst the enemy holds the key item to diffuse it before it explodes maybe. (return flag to our base)

Arathi Basin/Alterac Valley/BoG = Straight up resource war to aid the Alliance war machine

Isle of Conquest/Strand of The Ancients = RP both these as eliminating a Horde general or Warlord.

"...Offtopic: I feel bad for any only rogue Guilds atm?"
I hear that, separate we are bait, together we annihilate!

"...Will the units in the IC guild have about the same compisition? As in Someone more trained in Medical arts, and so on?"
If i understand your question correctly the units will represent each class with each RP'er with varying skills. The RP evolution will
determine whether a Druid unit will be more formidable at medical arts than the hunter unit for example.

"...part of the organization even if they are outside the guild?"
Maybe down the road, but right now i'm wanting to focus on a guild, purely for the reason to walk before i can run.

"...wouldn't you feel the tag may cause metagaming?"
Maybe, but i won't loose sleep over it atm.

"...Ahhh, Kaigron! I look forward to seeing you in the shadows"
All good my friend!
