Announcement: Assassin's Guild

[DM haunted]

As of today...I will be taking over the DM duties of this guild.Most likely merging it with the Zhentarim as a separate sect of the infamous black network.That's if you dont mind.Which means I need to further re-work some things. Vote for your opinion please...2 votes allowed.

[DM Sir Carnifex]

I had thought it to be part of the Thieves Guild run by Ravenscar?

[Forumlord of Talos]

I have talked with many in the thieves guild. One thing is clear we would like more Dm involvement. Many of them seem ok with dropping the guild and joining the Zhent.

Rina's perspective is to remain a separate entity with somewhat of a player command structure. This is partly because of my persona's issue with serving a divine power base organization

As a player I suggest that the thieves and assassins fall somehow under Dm Haunted's guidance as he already handles most evil sects.

FYI, I (Shadowy Figure) have given this my blessing for whatever that's worth.

The assassin's and thieves may or may not be a part of the zhents (you may never know), but I've handed the running of them over to Haunted.

The other option is for it to be player run.

Erulaan loves a well disorganized group.

har!

[DM Sir Carnifex]

Well, my personal opinion is to keep them separate. And, yes, I realize that gives the Fist TWO enemies instead one (forgetting the others for the time) but I'll deal with that. ;D

Either way, Haunted should run it. He doesn't have enough to do anyway.

And last, but not least, since we are speaking of evil guilds, I am going to be doing something with the Iron Throne very soon, so start signing up your PCs!

Yes, currently we play as the thieves and assassin guild of Baldur's Gate, ie Ravenscar's Guild... but without a DM we've become more akin to revenge killers because we have no opportunity to kill or rob other than PvP, no source of RP or event rewards, etc.

Player run factions can be fun, the Weave Masters started that way with just a handful of us really, but being an evil faction whose main mission is theft, killing, etc.. well player run is not that easy to manage.

I think the general consensus from those I've spoken with is we would prefer to keep our command structure as it is.. it's a small guild but we all have roles and enjoy playing them. However, it's also the general consensus that our guild will not survive without a DM involved, especially when it seems that one of our player-assigned missions (killing the Fist) raises a stink over and over.

So hell yeah Haunted, I vote for bringing us into the flock. If there is a way that we can be maintained as a separate but equal entity and work as more of a close ally than a subjagated or merged guild.. that would be cool. I trust in your RP to bring it about in a cool fashion.

Others may feel differently of course.

EDITED: Wouldnt it make more sense to only poll those in the guild, as opposed to everyone, including our guild enemies?

I for one would like to see DM involvement. Even though I was charged with taking over the Thieves and Assassin's guild, I can only do so much before I cant do anymore. Killing PC's is the only thing we really have, and the rewards are simply what we can take from other players.. both of which are rather empty victories.

I had brought up the idea to Broham on merging with the Zhents and due to a plot line that would of involved the assassins with Zhents would of been ideal anyways.. so yeah bring on the DM stuff.. we/they need the events and support.

What would this entail for an Agent of Bhaal?

I haven't met any of the other proclaimed evil or assassins on the server but I can tell my Assassin won't be getting along with them very well =p

[mrdeadman]

DM involvement is great. As for joining with the Zhents, I'm not a big fan. I'm not saying I wouldn't stay affiliated with "the guild" if it were to merge with the zhents. Information gathering is easier from the inside. Muhaha

[DM haunted]

Remember also ,the Zhentarim is much larger than a simple guild.We could just wipe the other guilds out or make a Hostile Takeover lol.The Zhents have their own assassins as well and if the guild remains separate altogether it may cause some issues.

[shadowcabal]

Oh, there are alternatives for those who seek another group with which to practice their craft.

Hehe.. my thoughts exactly man. Join or die, IC and OOC, because without a DM the guild will fall apart.. with a DM, our guild will be crushed by the Zhents or the Fist sooner or later.

Either way, we need something man so I say set it in motion. I cant wait to work for a beholder personally, lol.

Hakeem is always looking for a way to go out in blazing glory and honor... Dont know how or where it will happen.. but when the trumpets of war sound through the coast he will answer the call and make the ultimate sacrifice!
