[Ves] Vesper Militia Recruiting
Introduction
I would like to announce the beginning of the Vesper Militia! The growing threat of evil and the up and coming "Battle for Sosaria" has forced the Mayor of Vesper to recruit his own army to battle anyone and everyone who tries to take Vesper from them. The main goal is simply to uphold and protect the citizens and laws of Vesper at all times and at all costs.
However this does not mean we'll be spending all of our time in and around Vesper. We'll also travel the lands looking for adventure and interacting with other players whenever possible. This also does not mean that if you're an evil guild, you're not welcome in and around Vesper without us attacking you. Anyone and everyone is welcome in Vesper so long as they obey the laws (even vampires and orcs).
There will hopefully be regular guild events to suit all sides of the roleplaying community, such as in depth stories as well as a number of different fighting tournaments. Please read the rest of the sections for more information. Thank you.
Rules
The rules of the Vesper Militia are plain and simple. We only have two!
1) All members must stay in character at all times within game unless it is absolutely and positively neccessary, such as if you're house is burning down or you're being robbed. If you need to casually talk to someone out of character then please use party chat, guild chat or any external instant messaging program.
2) No looting. Dry looting is against the RPRing rules of engagement and is frowned upon by a lot of people within the community. And since I really don't like grey areas and to prevent all the "I didn't know this and that" looting will not be allowed period. The only exception to this is if the victim is an obvious and blatent griever.
If anyone breaks either of these two rules then they'll be given a very severe warning and if it continues then they could even be kicked out of the guild. Other than that you are free to roleplay however you like. Magic armour, magic weapons, ethereals, mounts, runic items, it's up to you!
Guidelines
These are not rules as such but more guidelines that I strongly recommended you follow as best you can. I do not wish to tell members exactly what they can and can't do and so I'm just going to give a general basis that you should use and expand from there.
Firstly I'd just like to say that the Vesper Militia will be a guild who roleplay being in the world of Sosaria and not the real life medieval past. Therefore anything that is possible in the world of Sosaria is possible. This means death is death, magic is magic and so on. However I would like to ask all members not to force other guilds who think differently to change their ways to fit our roleplay. Just live with it and work around it as best you can please.
The rules say that you should stay in character at all times within game. But as a member of the Vesper Militia what does staying in character actually mean? Well try to think of it like the real life modern day military and police and transfer that knowledge to the world of Sosaria. For example, most military and police only use violence as a last resort and fire only after being fired upon. Most military and police will try to give criminals an alternative to death such as community service or going to jail. Military and police would not know who the enemies and criminals are all the time and most times would only act when they witness an actual crime being done. You should try to use these points and others as a basis as to how to roleplay your character within the Vesper Militia. But of course, and by all means, feel free to spice it up a bit if you wish... Patriot? Crooked cop? Cover ups? ;p
In regards to death. I think your character should still try to avoid it as much as possible because I imagine death in the world of Sosaria would still be a very painful experience for your character to go through. However if you do die and once you have been resurrected then feel free to collect your belongings as soon as possible. Once you have done this it is strongly recommeded that you respect the enemy and try to hold off from attacking them again until the next encounter.
Laws
These are the laws of Vesper and should be upheld and protected by all members at all times within Vesper. Note that these laws do also apply to the members themselves if done so without reason (think back to the military and police). Also these laws only apply within and around the Vesper area. If you are in a different town or out in the wilderness then these laws do not apply!
1) Treason. The doing, attempting or conspiring to aid a foreign party against Vesper. Punishment of death and an hour in jail.
2) Murder. The doing, attempting or conspiring to unlawfully kill an intelligent being. Punishment of an hour in jail.
3) Rape. The doing, attempting or conspiring to partake in sexual acts without consent. Punishment of an hour in jail.
4) Stealing. The doing, attempting or conspiring to take anothers property without consent. Punishment of a half hour in jail.
5) Assault/Battery. The doing, attempting or conspiring to inflict grievous or actual bodily harm. Punishment of a half hour in jail.
Note: An intelligent being includes good, evil, roleplayers, non-roleplayers and non-player characters. The only exception to this are aggressive non-player characters and monsters. So basicly if it's not an animal and it's not aggressive then it's an intelligent being.
Ranks
These are the ranks of the Vesper Militia. You should respect and obey members who have a higher rank than you. Promotion is fairly common and somewhat easy at first but gets a lot harder the higher up you get. Promotions are awarded for your level of activity, interaction, roleplaying performance, fighting performance and length of time. You might also recognise these ranks and symbols as being a shortened and edited version of the real life USA military ranks.
Specialist. This rank is for crafters and crafters only.
Private. This is a soldier rank and where everyone starts out who isn't a crafter.
Corporal. This is a solider rank and is fairly easy to achieve from the last rank.
Sergeant. This is a soldier rank and is somewhat harder to achieve from the last rank.
Lieutenant. This is an officer rank and is considerably harder to achieve from the last rank.
Captain. This is an officer rank and is also considerably harder to achieve from the last rank.
Major. This is an officer rank and is very much harder to achieve from the last rank.
Colonel. This is an officer rank and is also very much harder to achieve from the last rank.
General. This is an officer rank and is the highest and hardest rank to achieve in the guild.
Uniform
This plain and simple uniform must be worn by all members at all times. All the clothing in the uniform can be worn in conjunction with any and all armour. The only other restriction is that the cloak must only be worn by officers and all other members must not wear any cloak at all.
These are the exact clothes you must wear at all times if you're a soldier rank or a crafter rank. Default colours, doublet, fancy shirt, kilt and boots.
These are the exact clothes you must wear at all times if you're an officer rank. Default colours, doublet, fancy shirt, kilt, boots and a cloak.
Here is a preview of the full uniform plus a full suit of shadow iron leather armour.
Location
Our guild outpost is located two screens north west of the north west Vesper bridge and is directly east of the Minoc moongate. Please see the image below for the exact location.
