Post by Ferrari Swifteye »

I, Edward Kemp am starting a guild.

As of late the guild has no members but I would like more
My main mission for this guild will be stated below

So, you decided to read about this guild.
This guild is for pretty much every profession you can imagine
As you can see from the title, there is a wide varity of things dealt with
Rodger, my assistant will be helping out.
This is not a guild for the lazy.
I intend on working very hard to earn money for a property
Now, for a bit more detail
Going on

As I have stated this guild is not for the lazy

Trollsbanes
Herbests
Ink makers
Entertainers &
Farmers
Should be considered a proffestion booster rather than a guild.

Guidelines for the guild will most likeley be set up at a later date
Unless someone strongly disagrees, the guides set up will be followed
I would very much hope that everyone in the guild follow them
Laziness will not be permitted, I do not want members who do nothing
Does this guild still sound right for you?

Perhaps if you are still interested you would dove me?
Let me know if you feel strongly opposed to the creation of a new guild
Everyone is welcome to comment
Anyone interested in joining should contact me
Should you be approved by myself and later a board your
Entry will be permitted

Does this still seem interesting to you?
Of course it may seem strict, but I just feel I need to lay down rules
Various ideas for change are welcome
Everyone with suggestions should contact me.

My hopes that you consider joining
Edward

Alright I would hope this is ROLEPLAYED. I hope people are smart enough to say "ok, I would assume only a theif would look for secret messages like that, to my char it will remain unknown." but I was very afraid to post this, I know some "hero" will findi t, expose it in character and any chance of a thiefs guild is ruined. So please, just pretty much leave it be unless your char is some sort of "code cracker" this is somehting I would assume at least a thief would look for because they have to speak in secret. Besides i guarentee you haven't looked for secret messages in other posts.))

Where to start?
Everything is going somewhat smoothly.

Again, anyone is welcome to join this guild
Rodger and I will hapily except you all
Entry will not be denied

Good bussiness has blessed our little guild
And we are quickly gaining money
In no time we should have a rather large guild fund
Nothing short of 100 ingots
If you need a loan to buy bussiness supplys, please ask
Nothing resonable will be denied
Growth in our guild is outrageous

Matthew has earned 30 ingots with his blacksmithing alone
Edgar has supplied us with 10 from his carpentry bussiness
Memebers are encouraged to donate excess gold
Both Rodger and I will gaurd it safely
Even excess resources will be kept in safty
Rodger has established a safe that can protect goods and
Supplys

We again would like to thakn those of you who have donated funds, we
Encourage you to continue

Maybe soon we should host a meeting?
Unless of course problems arise
Send me a letter as to when you can attend and when you cannot
The next week or so do not look promising for me

Maybe in 2 weeks?
Every member shoudl attened, whenever it is held, Sincerely
Edward
The founder of our lovely guild.

Well, we have not yet had the meeting
Everyone couldnt make it, some had conflicts.

Work lately has been quite dull
Overall bussiness is slow
Rarely do we get a large sale
Karl though made a nice profit

Tom was recently removed from the guild for conducting illegal activitys
Other than that we have been running smoothly

Members should send me a time when they can next attend a meeting
All members should attened
Karl will be gone for some time though, so he can't attend
Everyone else should try to come

Another note

Howard recently had an astounding Idea
Over time, we should collect resources of all kinds
Maybe not things that can rot though
Everything else we would collect

Food, if it doesn't spoil will be collected
Onions are a good example of what is not to be stored
Radish also.

Then, after we have plenty of goods we would host a sale
Hold it in the center of town!
In turn, we would generate lots of revenue with sales
Eventually we would gain enough money to start construction on a home
For all members
So, moving on

Again, I know this has been said very often, anyone who wishes to join
Not only a guild, but a community should contact me with a
Dove or other bird.

But if you intened to make a mockery of this guild do not join
Anyone who does not abide by the laws of this town is not welcome(( :roll: ))
No one else though will be denied membership
Now to end this long winded letter
Edward, founder of this lovely guild and
Dearest Richard, who cannot write.

Everyone should attend

But be sure to attend
Expected attendance
Richard will be organizing foods
Someone who can bring drinks please do so

Also,
Newest member:
David

Another note
Lawrence has made a large discovery
Large enough to fund this guild
Infact, e says every member will be able to take part
Everyone should help out and perhaps we can earn a house
So, I expect to see you there

Continuing
On top of all of our other bussiness there is more:
New exciting news from Charles
Today we inhereted many a coin
Actually it was in the form of gold nuggets
Charles has made this lovely donation
Thank you charles

Memeber, and leader:

You see a raven picking with its beak at a crumpled up parchment on a ruined old stone wall standing a bit off and out of town, and sensing your presence, it flaps away with shiny pitch black wings. A small rock of amber holds the paper down. The writing on the parchment reads:
  • Edward,

    Why does this happen? Every time? Now, this time you did it right and sent me the minerals, but they are flawed! Every time you fool me, you old devil! Every time I fall for this nonsense. Dare not do this one more time. Try sending me another sample like that and I will start working for someone else. Or were you jesting this time? Send me a real sample. Per the new contract, you owe me money for the time I wasted with your games. Even your wife said I should just go work for competition. Also, please tell those kids bringing the deliveries to be more careful, they ruined the fence. Kaspar, my bloodhound, will gladly teach them a lesson off his leash if they don't watch their paws.

    Some of the workers have been getting a stoop of morale lately. Every time we get deeper down the shaft, it caves in on us, it's like a curse. Not even minehead six is paying off like it should. Donovan said you had something interesting cooking under your wing. Do you? Over here, it looks like we're making no progress whatsoever. Very few of the motivated folks are actually coming up with anything awry. Even the backbone mine is failing us a bit. Sorry there's no good news from Our side, do you at least have any news? Unless you have any good news and the right sample, save yourself the effort.

    Tell Henry I miss the rum.

The message seems to be in the same format as the first few messages.


Dear Edward,
Outstanding club! I am sorry that my attempts to come to your meetings failed. I must say that I am
very Sorry! Though if possible, you should contact me, and we could straighten things out, and of course,
every effort will be made on my part to make sure this happens

More or less, I think that we could be a successful group. Though I need some practice. Did I mention what I am? I'm an
entertainer of course!

Wandering my eyes over this fantastic little board,
Happened to notice your good business head
Also your strong affinity and respect for the town
These traits appeal to me no end

Indeed I could imagine us having a very profitable relationship
No need for much capital from your guilds side
To say the least my talents are wide and varied
Every craft could combine to create a sort of monopoly
Revenue could be shared equally to further both guild and individual
Even the humblest member could see huge returns
Similarly even charity work could further the guilds good name
The main point of focus should be creating a venture that puts back
Into the community selflessly
Not that I would wish to change or limit the huge opportunities for profit
Gods smile on the giving heart is all,

In retrospect I should have no doubt made contact sooner
Days have been wasted working in isolation on small projects
Events out pace me though, especially current trends
As a result small education would be appreciate with regard to the current
State of the market

We as traders are certainly experiencing a very unique time
Every one should have a target market, appears ours is near captive.

Capitalizing on the centralized market of the day could be risky
Of course your good head for business has already come to ideas
Ultimately expansion is key for any venture
Likely this is no news to you,merely banter
Deary me I do ramble dont I

Sufficient to say I see much promise in this venture
Please dont hesitate to call on me for any supplies you may require
Entertainment can be supplied, although some find my humor crude
Also bears mentioning that I have a talent for negotiation and haggling
Knowing how to cut a clean deal is of course vital, I have found

A pale, tall figure garbed in black, kisses a crow held within its gloved hands. With a sickly smile of scarred lips, the shadow casts the black bird into the air, sending it forth towards sky. Standing alone amidst the woods, the figure quietly sees the bird off. After moments that seem like eternity, it turns, drawing the hood over its head, and wandering north.

Dear sirs

Sound advice fair merchants. Enlighten me if you could upon the prices of your wares. Normally I would not ask unknown merchants but times grow hard. Demand is for what you supply so I find myself in a vulnerable situation. Mayhaps we can come to an arrangement, where all can benefit. Enclosed with this message you shall find a flower which I find most fair, and which fragrance I would like copied. Announce to myself if this is at all possible, as if it is not I shall go elsewhere. Dont be modest in your demands my purse is full and willing to opn to those of skill. Overly I am more worried about the quality of your services. Vintage goods are worth far more than those made by amateurs. Eagerly I await your reply, and may the gods bless you good sirs.

Vardish your friend and merchant

Attatched to the note is a single purple blossom

Most Essteemed Members Boris has Entered the Rewarding field of Smithing. Daggers, knives, cutlery, and Other smithed goods you may need are all being made by him. on another note Vera has said that brians Exicting work is Making him Enourmous amounts of money. I Feel that this could be an incredeble boost in guild funds. You should all take time Out of your day to thank him; after all he is Underground all day with Coal And other materials which create Nasty clouds of dust when hit inncorectly, which can be hazadours to ones health. Also, Today was a Tremendous day in the Exciting field of farming, Nathan has Discovered a new source of crops.

hello again I am More than happy to resume Entrys to Members of this fine organization. Bob has asked why we have not been meeting, well you see I have been away, on an Enterpenours "trip." I learned much of the professions Reaping and Smithing. Conner has agreed to begin reaping wheat and Ofcousre as most of you know we have plenty of smiths. Now on To other Actions of bussiness. Conner has also informed me That Micheal has been caught doing some unsavory things that are Entirely Against town law, this will not be accepted and he has been removed from the members list. Samueal and I did the deed of revoking the oath, both Samuel and I wish it did not have to be done, Of course as you all know it was utterly necessary. Onto happier things, Norton has Announced a Safe way of transacting money and we can Possible make use of this soon Of course this would require money to transact So do your Share and donate. In Boris' words "one for all and all for one"

your Leader

hello edward,

I have stumbled upon this guild of yours and Wondered how someone like I might join. SHould references of my business be needed To be provided, that can be arranged. Or, if a simple meeting would suffice. Joining really does interest me. Only, I need some more information, INcluding, what wares do you need someone else to take care of?

i'll talk to you later.
